[ Closed ] [CLIENT] Nodes - Public Beta (Page 4 of 16)

So, tested it on the server of Kott some minutes ago. This isn't a mod, it's more a new game. But, there are too much noobs on the server, and that sucks.
Good job, makes fun - with a good team.

As I already said, this mod is already very laggy.
Adding a teamspeak would be 1) very complex to build up 2) unplayable (lag) 3) this will cause more problems of kicking noobs making noise, speaking rus in the background, spamming etc than solving communications ones.

I just want you to keep in mind, that this was/is a BETA test. There are several problems to solve and we do not have that much time as we wish. ctf5 is a map to test the gameplay - that's it. We need new maps for different amounts of players and for a complete new feeling.

edit: yes, I made all of the graphics.

I got an idea of how to include the Tee-Strike weapons.
Would require 5 tech lvls:
Tee-Strike has 3 kinds of each weapon. Delete good ol betty(shotgun), pancakes(grenade)and wookie blaster(laser) because they are either useless ore very much like the original weapons.

once you have all weapons of a class (e.g. normal shotgun,laser and grenade) you get the ability to build a weapon chamber= gives you all three weapons when walking through.
A player can just have 1 weapon of a type at a time (just grenade or mr rabbit or big momma).
There would be a weapon system were you can choose which three weapons you want. more explanation later.
   
t1 shotgun
t2 grenade + shotgun2
t3 laser + weapon chamber 1 + mr rabbit + shotgun 3
t4 laser ak + weapon chamber 2 + big momma
t5 Sharkbait + weapon chamber 123

If you go through a weapon chamber you will obtain all weapons in it. If you go through the next chamber you will loose the weapons that you didnt choose in your weapon menu.
If you enter a weapon chamber 123 (tech 5) you will get the 3 weapons of your choice.

To keep the build menu small, as soon as you get a weapon chamber the weapons that are in that chamber wont be shown as single weapon stations anymore.
Repeater could be moved to tech 3 -> Tele moved to tech4.

Changes in Tee-Strike weapons:
Those weapons were sometimes balanced through gravity which kinda sucked.

Big Momma: Anti building weapon:8 dmg on building 3 on player. Explodes on shield but explosion is small enough to not dmg the shield itself (but nearer buildings inside)
Sharkbait: Possible change to make it more sniper like. When using sharkbait your dynamic camera is able to move further-> your range increases. Sharkbait cant pierce shields.

Stuff to add for other tech lvls:
Since the lvls 4 and 5 would be kind of empty, here are some ideas:

tech 4:
tower III: When an enemy gets too close to it it causes and low dmg explosion that will kick the player away.
Laser shield: Shield generator with low shield energy. Can reflect 2 shots of lasers before it goes down.
tech5:
Safe generator: Like a repeater it work as a generator with 100 health. When the main generator goes down the safe generator can be built up to a new main generator by healing it 100 points.

Puh I think this was it.
If you didnt understand something just ask me.
And if people say that the Tee-Strike weapons dont fit in there and suck then you should probably not make them.
Or take them out again after you tried it.

@inherited:

People without the client should get a broadcast that they should download the client.
Because right now theres only the servermsg in the chat and you dont say WHERE to download the client and ppl rarely look at those msgs.

Btw: There are about 4 servers right now. I think 3 would be enough.

@Landil:

Suggestions for buildings improvements:

- When your armor is 0 the armor station should give you 5 armor - then just 3 again.
   Reason: It takes really long till you get at least some armor. with this it takes still 3 times to get full but 1 time is enough to be usefull.

- If a player already has a certain weapon with full ammo this weapons station shouldnt reakt to him. People beeing afk or chatting in weapon stations are a problem.

- If a turret fired a certain amount of shots (5?) he should have a reload time of 1 to 2 seconds. Just to make them a bit fairer.

I think thats it for now.

EDIT: Why the hell did you guys vote my post down?!?
         Inherited asked (ingame) for a way of how to implent Tee-Strike weapons.
         So get those - of or + it up again

@ Magic Merlin

You have good ideas, (like Landil said) but just keep in mind that they first need to fix there bugs then later they can add in new things. (If they like it.) My suggestion is to wait until they have fixed some bugs and then give some ideas (not too complex). I think they would more likely to respond positively.

And a question: Some times when my other teams shoot our shield generators they go though; so I was wondering if they respond less to incoming bullets when they are damage?

fixed the mac problem and made a .app for it.. so here is a link to all the mac users

You are probably right but some ideas are solutions for problems and when inherited wants some ideas he just needs to read the comments of the other pages.

Something that is just for some people a problem is that games that last till tech 3 get really long. And by long I dont mean 15 minuts. Or 20.
More like 45. Or 50.
Also players rarely fight players after tech 2 (when turrets and shields start to do the def).
And for the last thing I want to say. Playing on a huge map might be cool BUT To build a 2nd base you need more tech points and if people spend those points to build just 1 GIANT base the game wont end.

Btw i got solutions for everything but since no 1 wants to hear I'm not gonna post it
