Free Beer that dispenses from the useless IPX port please

some kind of 2on2 league with oldies in one group and rookies in one?

My wishlist: a defensive weapon.

i have an idea for one. i think i'll name it... the airfist!

Would it be cool, instead of hitsounds, that enemies that take damage have a sudden yellow powerup shell effect on them? Or that might be too giving for hardcore gaming?

Please keep it serious people.

raz0 how come you don't come up with something useful then? instead of just patrolling this thread i mean.

i'm +1 for the kenya and rookie related requests (qkc ftw!), i'd also like to see one kenya map in future 4on4 leagues. the addition of 1 good, exciting new map (not cmt3/4)would make for a much nicer mappool for me.
oh, and maps.qw.nu is like an old, almost forgotten dream, would be nice to have for sure.

- Less waiting for ready
- Shorter matches

???

As it is matches take 1-2 hours to play. I'd prefer they start on scheduled time and were completed within an hour. If we could leave out the waiting and meaningless playing when a map win is already decided we could do that.

It would be easier for people to organize their time and there would effectively be more people available to play.

I know this an absurd wish.

Well, I'm a moderator. Just doing what I'm supposed to.

Edit: Anyway, Åke started a serious thread. He deserves serious answers.

i got one:

League: fraglimit instead of timelimit should be interesting
interesting games to watch, camping tactics where every frag count, search for spawnfrag.
no timelimit, short frag limits, like 10 for dm6 -> 20 for dm4 -> 5 for dm2,

Fraglimit would introduce even more uncertainty regarding how long games can be though. But i guess i can see the charm of it in a way...

Maybe fraglimit helps in removing camping ( 1--0 in dm2? )

Fraglimit could be interesting to experiment with for sure. I'm not sure it will cure camping though. Sure, you won't be able to 'play the clock' and spam to kill time, but people are also less likely to take chances with fraglimit, since each frag is much more important this way. If anything, people have to be even more careful/silent/campy with fraglimit, since you have to be extremely careful not to get ninja'd. Of course, as Åke said, games will be vary varied in length too. Some games will be over in a couple of minutes (lucky spawnfrags on DM2) while others could last for an hour, if the players are very cautious. It would probably be a good idea to have a timelimit in addition to the fraglimit. It would naturally have to be somewhat longer than normal, say 20 minutes for 1on1?

Function of frag difference and remaining time could end matches when other team/player is hopelessly behind.

non random RL dmg? I seriously can't believe this hasn't happened before, seriously, this is some MMO BS, so why have features like that.

define MMO BS
and is not so random, is always more than 99 but less than 121, making static would not change the gameplay almost...

Full .md3 model support, and electro's player model!
Movement prediction through teleporters, and explosion knockback physics prediction (rj prediction).
Pixel shading lightning (steal this from q3?), higher resolution lightmaps (no jagged blotchy shadows).
Better particle effects that don't require a super computer to maintain fps.
Hope Phil's trick archive is proliferate.
Change default cl_rollangle back to 2! (If you're going to arbitrate any change in that area it ought to be cl_rollalpha 0).
Non-random respawn delay time, (I'm ambivalent about random direct rl damage, and random grenade yaw.)
'Shadows' under player's feet (black circle).

Wet dreams: Greater exposure for QW. It would be great if a scene spawned in high population density places in Asia. QWlive...

Direct hit is always 110, not 100+rand(20) anymore (it's been like this since 5.2.2009 in KTX, and few months before that during the testing period). Splash damage depends on the distance between the hit and the player model, and is from 40 to 110 (113*).


* Some extra info:

The splash damage is calculated from the distance of the explosion center and the center of the player model, which means:

1. The damage could actually be 112, but you can achieve this by only boring towards a wall, but the selfdamage is limited to 50% from your own explosives. The damage given to you is 56 in that case, also making it "almost timpossible" for an enemy to score that kind of splash damage, while 111 might happen sometimes.

2. Practically the highest damage given to player using RL splash damage is 113 but it's impossible to achieve, because it would mean that the rocket explosion center would have to touch player model, something that is impossible without direct hit using RL. Hence the GL dh damage can only be this high, unless player teleports directly on top of the nade, which makes the center hit possible. The same would apply to RL using GL damage model (=no direct hit code, only splash damage code applies).

- a way to record sound and images at the same time, much like q3mme's "\capture" function. Also it captures the sound directly from the WAV's used, so even if you record @ 120fps, the sound does not get affected!

Nice to hear, totally missed that. It's rather amazing to see quakeworlders keen enough to change what was a standart for many years.

Anyway, renzo you should know not all servers are updated, so youre wrong saying the damage is not random anymore, i play all whole days in a server with random damage.

And how is that my fault or concern? I can't and won't msg after every admin to update when needed, they should listen to players and the scene in general and read news to find out when it's time to update some stuff.

The servers I admin (my signature) are always updated, and I know pangela's servers are too, much like tuna seems to update dybbuk quite often. I remember EQ running so old version in the past that it couldn't even properly support QTV related stuff, even if people told the admin to update nothing happened until some time ago.

In any case, any and all important KTX/MVDSV changes are always posted on QW.nu frontpage news, and some stuff is mentioned in my blogs (less important though).

Wish granted, now let me be

+ something for open/paste the URLs others players type in chat, is really annoying to write it manually...

connect $lastip

I mean web URL's, for example when you are trying to teach a new player and you paste in the console http://videos.quakeworld.nu/video/guide-bunnyjumping/
