GG2 - Stockpile - The Rocketman 'Update'

[Dermott]

Very nice BluDragon but I prefer loadout like in arsenal mod ;3
Also you made a small mistake, in milkman set you used pistol, not right shortstop(this bigger white-black pistol)

Nor did I use the right Soda Popper.

There is shortstop

This pistol


but ok.

[Dusty]

god i love dropbox sometimes.
I fixed the shortstop in the opening post simply by editing my copy of the picture and hitting save.

Only thing I sorely dislike right now is that you gave the most mobile class in the game even more mobility. There have been FaN iterations in the past that failed simply because of the self-knockback being ridiculous or worthless; it's incredibly difficult to find the right balance between the two because maps weren't designed with these jumps in mind for Runners to be taking; they may have been designed anticipating Rocketmen and Detonators going up there, but they take off 25-30 health to jump that high and don't have astounding base-mobility for when it comes to getting off that perch.

Just because things work in three-dimensions doesn't mean it'd work out elegantly in two. You're not restricted to using assets that have a likeness to TF2's nor are you restricted to using attributes that have a likeness to TF2's, try out your creativity for something new when you get a chance, it's rather fun.

Also, I don't think you synced the hype meter on FULL_UPDATE like how superburst, nuts & bolts, cloak alpha, and charging time are all synced at that time. Generally, that'd be one of the updates that people forget to double-check since it's not as frequent as QUICK_UPDATE, but it's equally essential. You want to see as little desync as possible, right?

[Dusty]

The high increase in mobility for the FAN runner was unintentional.
It's been cut back.

and I sync the hype meter right here:

Code:

if(global.updateType == QUICK_UPDATE or global.updateType == FULL_UPDATE) {
        write_ushort(global.serializeBuffer, x*5);
        write_ushort(global.serializeBuffer, y*5);
        write_byte(global.serializeBuffer, hspeed*5);
        write_byte(global.serializeBuffer, vspeed*5);
        write_ubyte(global.serializeBuffer, ceil(hp));
        write_ubyte(global.serializeBuffer, currentWeapon.ammoCount);
        write_ubyte(global.serializeBuffer, specialMeter);
       
        temp = 0;
        if(cloak) temp |= $01;
        if(intel) temp |= $02;
        //allocate the next three bits of the byte for movestatus sync
        temp |= (moveStatus & $07) << 2;
        write_ubyte(global.serializeBuffer, temp);               
    }

Why didn't you organize it like how the other class-specific variables are organized?

You're not even in the same script that I'm talking about.

[Dusty]

i didn't organize it as a class specific variable because it isn't.
it's also going to/is being used for rage, and the other meters.

[Psychopath]

We could have done the same thing with superburst, cloakAlpha, nuts & bolts, and charge time by making them all converted into percentages out of 255 then having the clients figure out what to do with those values, we separated them because it's more legible and leaves far less room for error. Also, you'll be syncing values for classes that never use them: wasted bandwidth.

Ryo and I are gonna try to do RJExtreme using the Reserve Shooters, which have the added effect of the Riding crop.

What're you doing? You can't use a shotgun for that, you don't even know how to reload it.

[Dusty]

Oh silly psychopath.

You're right, we couldn't get very far in RJE's warmup (we got to b, but by that time it was a combo 'reserve shooters'/'liberty launcher').

But that doesn't mean I couldn't get an effect like the riding crop to work.

Disciplinary Action was part of a different set. The Market Gardener was the one from the one that the Liberty Launcher and Reserve Shooter are from.

[Dusty]

I know that.
but I wanted to make the General's Formals set, and I needed a weapon for it.
