#2185: Re: ..

by BigNoNo on 01/13/2004 14:44, refers to #2179

About the invulnerability bug; couldn't this have something to do with the following (and I quote from the readme): if a player is severely lagged (or you are) he temporarily becomes a "ghost" that cannot be hit (if >1sec packet jump).
Just a suggestion.

Perhaps a pointer going amok in the code or so? Haven't had a peek at the source so I actually dunno what I'm talking about ;-)

if the lag thing happens to you, other people won't be moving/hitable either. What people reported is that they were just playing normally and suddenly get invulnerable.

It is very likely it has something to do with the "lifetime" variable in dynent getting screwed, the only question is how.

#2188: slowness

by jedi on 01/14/2004 05:17

On Gentoo Linux (kernel 2.6.1-rc1), with Nvidia's drivers. q3a runs fine, at very good framerates, accelerated (GeForce FX 5900). Same for ut2003, and for all my screensavers. Cube runs at 12 fps, and only crawles up to 20 or 30 with a brand new /newmap. I am told this is a normal speed -- for software rendering (Athon XP 2100+ @ 1.7 ghz). How do I begin to debug this?

I cant get used to using the mouse for looking up/down and the arrows for forward/backward. How do I change the controls?

Practice it, you will get used to it, and you will be a better player for it.

#2200: New level - testing

by Fanatic on 01/16/2004 04:21

Anyone interested in trying out an incomplete level I'm working on?

This one is about 80% complete, but I'm at a point where I'd like to get some feedback. Let me know here or via email if you like or don't like any areas.

http://fanaticalproductions.net/game_map_view.htm?mapId=21

Have fun!

I gave it a go. It looks good, but I think the layout is seriously flawed. There are lots of dead ends, and the castle and water section are only connected by a single door. So again you're running back and forth in the map instead of circuits.

by Drakker_ on 01/16/2004 05:02, refers to #2200

Looks great, but there's really no point in hanging in the rock and water section, all the action will happen in the castle.

This would be awesome as the beginning of a single player level though. :) Infiltrate the enemy's stronghold or something.

#2203: Re: New level - testing

by Fanatic on 01/16/2004 05:52, refers to #2202

Sorry, I didn't mention this, but it is intended as a single player level, so it's supposed to be linear-ish. :)

I have plenty of spots around the castle for attacking the castle too. I might end up reversing the level too, and make it so you have tio infiltrate and take it over, and work your way to the back pool area to kill the bosses.

I think it would look quite rad to have a flood of knights pouring from the front gates to attack. :)

#2204: Re: New level - testing

by pushplay on 01/16/2004 20:27, refers to #2203

In that case I don't think it's linear enough :P
