High div players, opinion matters so please comment quickly if you can

I'd like to see how used is yawnmode those days...

div0 star sassa says NO!

I have used it and tried it just to convince molgrum that it sux!
and after 1000 tries he still dosnt seem to get it

I'm not trying to convince anyone but I still have to go for no. And I know people who actually drop out of the server once yawnmode gets enabled so it's kinda funny too.


Yes, I've tried it few times.

I thought only high div players were supposed to leave a comment.

Sassa: There is a difference between not liking something and saying that something "sucks".
I like you for example, but you suck. I don't like yawnmode however, but it doesn't suck.

my question is, yawnmode (for better or for worse, I haven't played it) has already been incorporated into KTX. Some people MUST like it, others who don't don't have to play with it. WHY remove it?

I would like to know what's been implemented into ktx as yawnmode? Since either it doesnt work in prewar, or you only implemented like 1/3 of what was in the original jawnmode...

The Tweaks(tm):

From jawnmode:
* Axe damages 50.
* GL is non-random, fires straight.
* Discharges always only kills the discharger in DMM4.
* Nail speed increased from 1000 to 1800.
* NG no longer alternate left/right, always shoots straight.
* RL is non-random: direct hits always damage 110.
* SG/SSG has non-random pellet patterns.
* Non-random spawntimes, always 900 ms minimum.
* Fallbunny always enabled.
* Pack ammo limited to 25 shells, 50 nails, 25 rockets and 25 cells.
* Removed lavaballs.

Edit:
* Packs are now dropped when players issue /kill.

New stuff:
* Your xy-speed is preserved through teleporters and is capped according to a percentage (24 % is probably going to be standard).
* Lowered SNG damage to 16, was 18 (due to the increased speed).
* Increased SSG damage (84 is max, was 64), increased SSG reload time (0.8 s, was 0.7 s). Will probably be reverted since a new reload time is bothersome.
* GA absorption rate is now changed (0.4 instead of 0.3).
* Adds custom probabilities on spawns depending on how many times you spawned there.

...but I only like half of it.

are there some other tweaks which people find so horrible that they dont want to try/use it? or are most people like me and didnt have a clue what yawnmode was/is? i havent tested it nor do i know how to but those settings dont seem bad at all, at least when reading about them (actual gaming experience might show some of its flaws)

I played KTX once or twice with yawmode enabled and I can say that for brazilian's servers it's not a "must-have". We would appreciate much more RA support.

I won't mind if the following tweaks are removed due to player request or the wish of the mod authors themselves (qqshka/deurk):

* SSG tweak, not the most important weapon to tweak imo, slow nails are much more noticable when playing QW nowadays (especially on dm3)
* Lavaballs, since it's up to map authors if they want these or not
* Backpack ammo restriction, since it's up to map authors to place a good ammo count (ztndm3 is the example of way too much ammo )

And I remember that the-interceptor suggested a spawnmode where you are more likely to spawn further away from where you died, so since that comes from a div1-player it might be worth a shot in a mode like this.

* NG no longer alternate left/right, always shoots straight.
I don't like this one, what were the reasons to change it? Maybe now with wvep it'd be more reasonable to keep it as it was.

im more like mipa, didnt have a clue what it was wouldnt mind if it was used more, but not neccesary for me. totally neutral

I think the reason was simply: You aim were the crosshair is at.

But since this is not a random thing (like the GL), I can't really say that it's a good or bad tweak, but at least I'd guess that's the reason.
