Redirect a portion of there mail via /dev/null, and blame it on the better filtering they wanted.  Problem solved.

Oh believe me, I know the BOFH archives fairly well.  Hell when I was finally able to hire an assistant, on his first day he apologized for not having acne so I can't accurately call him my PFY...

Just entertain this thought...

Tremulous + a physics engine!

No more rets, just get humans to lift crates and planks by hand to build barricades, which small aliens could squeeze through, but rants would have to spend a few seconds battering down... and any splinters or debris which fly off at 100MPH as a result dealing some nice damage.

I can dream, eh?

Re: MG Dev Server feedback

Yeah, it'd be fun. And while they are at it, they can build teslas by hand using a collection of bolts and an instruction manual.

Anyway, although this is not a bad idea, the amount of work it would take to do would pretty much result in a new game. Think about what would have to change:
  - The maps, to have this kind of crap strategically everywhere
  - Balance redone
  - Setting redone -- why don't humans have anything?
  - New engine for the game... and a hardcore one that half our current players couldn't run.
  - New controls
  - and then some...

It could make singleplayer interesting.

But yeah, bloody eck, I'm not sure how I'd begin to code shared physics between players on an online game. O_o

Re: MG Dev Server feedback

If there is going to be a new engine then it's going to be for tremulous 2.0 (not 1.2). You'll have to wait like 10 years before that happens.

Re: MG Dev Server feedback

10? Buwahaha. Maybe for 1.2.

Haha.

I hate you all for nerfing basi health, and dretches in every way possible except size.

Just kidding, <3

Re: MG Dev Server feedback

But seriously, no. Dretches still kill in two shots. Headshot modifier is now 1.5x. Dretch does 48 as a base. 48 * 1.5 = 72. 72 + 48 > 100. However, you should note that the footshot damage is still 0.5x. 48 * 0.5 = 24. 24 + 72 < 100. Therefore, back in 1.1, you could do a headbite and then a footbite or better. Now, all that is changed is that a headshot + torsoshot is required instead. That means, if you don't suck, everything is more or less how it was before.

Re: MG Dev Server feedback

I think I remember seeing some models for the humans 1.2 on tremulous.net; was I just seeing things or are there going to be new models?

If someone makes ones that everyone likes -- in short, who knows. Yes, there are some around that some love and some hate.

Kickback is a little ridiculous, especially the adv. goon snipe.

Re: MG Dev Server feedback

I would like to think that's fair, as goon barbs take so long to recharge. Though, I may be wrong, I haven't tried goon+ in 1.2. I'm sure everything will be pretty balanced upon release.
