If anyone has any pending work that should be included in assist update (like maps or cvars) please post it here or PM me.
-
- Switch off possibility to write in the game console, because of much bigmouthiternetflamerswannabes.
- cvars on the servers. No cvars on server = server unauthorized
- SF Oldtown back please
- give me pb power 100 %

Oldtown and cvars to auth. a server can be done BUT its ALOOT of work, especially the map.
hey pit, I have some cvars, I will see if I can put all the ones I got into 1 file and theres a topic where we discussed the cvars.
Pit, if u have done any work on the client, let me know xD I wanna test :)

I'm almost done with SF Contingency. Just need to add briefings, descriptions and more clutter. When it's complete, someone should review my point values and determine whether they are acceptable (rounds, objectives, ect.). Thanks, I appreciate this.
-
Is it possible to add fy_pool_day_5v5 which was pretty popular in 2.8.5?
Furthermore, I beleive Big_sergio has some good cvars.
-
It's not a something of utmost importance , but you could stop players from going to Western Objective roof on Urban Assault (just 1 playerblocking volume should do it)

Anything that can join 2.5 and 2.8.5 players(Former and Current) should be an priority.
If that means adding maps from 2.8.5, then effort should be put into that.
Just as a sidenote, when reading about AA4, and it was mentioned that SF Hospital was to be added, people was really exited.
If I can help with something when it comes to convert 2.8.5 maps to 2.5, I'm willing to help.
At the same time Included Maps should be pruned, in my opinion, that is.
-
Well, this thread is not about wishes regarding what could be done, but about actual work that has already been done and is waiting for inclusion.
-
I would like to see the honor fixed so we can set minimum honor level that can enter servers.
-
You still have access to the mAAp dropbox right? The entire v7.2 folder is what needs to be added.
-

Bad idea. If done, the "bigmouthiternetflamerswannabes." will invade the forums.

Well that's the map folder, there also are a texture, briefing and system one.

Should it be used just as it is, or is there some work that has still to be done with it?
I remember there was some thread about making it ready, but I'm not sure what was the latest status.

As far as being functional, all the maps are functional actually, and the newer ones should be complete aswell. Killa completed CIty Block ages ago so i think it is fine aswell. Same for Office Assault by Max.

It's a nice pack of fix, adjusting and even new maps (things older than mid-march were the ones to be included in the 7.2 update i think). There also are a few adjustments that weren't wrote down in those logs 8)
-
I like that there was absolutely no reason to delete my previous on-topic, non-flaming post other than spite. Since I didn't save it, I'll re-write it from memory:
- Pit, what made you change your mind from the other thread?
- Being the Hospital connoisseur that you are, you might not want to include it in the update. Or at least take a look at it first, the changes in it will be in the Changelog. If you have any quick questions, you know how to contact me.
Looking at the screenshots posted above, I'm somewhat curious as to what Killa did to regular Pipeline. I know about the bugs/glitches being fixed on UA and Hospital but not Pipe.
I'll be saving this post in case it gets "lost" again :)

There is a glitch where you can 203 through the wall at defense spawn and hit outside. I added some blocking volumes to stop it. I guess I forgot to put it in the change log.

Oh, right, I remember that. Was never able to do it though. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to add a staticmesh inside the wall just to be safe or were you able to replicate it and did the blocking volume actually stop it?

Certainly not the posts written by you and your crew.

Why you are writing about me doing update? You just removed me from sourceforge project, so I assume you want to take it over.

I had to mess with some stuff to where I couldn't shoot through it anymore. It took a lot of trial and error. :P
-

This is off-topic but since you mentioned it, I will reply. I don't have a crew. I don't ask that people follow my lead or post in a certain way. People do what they want on their own free will, I don't influence anybody's posting habits on this website. I didn't expect my trollish posts to have a positive effect and make you think "oh, that Spanky guy is funny, I should update Assist now". As I said to you in PM, I created that thread to get you and other people to think. You got hostile and refused to give anything but a basic "no" answer and then ignored my points and the whole thread went off-topic.

I didn't realize you checked it out that much. Good work :)

Replace "my crew" with "trolls like you".

That's reasonable expectation.

Well, that was a negative effect to your trolling - that's what you expected, right?
-
We should continue to handle this in PM instead of getting this thread off-topic.

The 203 glitch is easy to do when you know how, it also works on other places, i am not going to post where on the forum but you can pm me and i will tell you.

Well it won't work on pipeline anymore after the update. PM me with the other locations and I'll try to fix them.

isn't Max banned from the forums? in case we gonna use his map

It's already set to go in the maap dropbox. I think the only thing that needs doing is the admin panel images for his map as well as for city block and rooftop.

I'm not good at making server mods lol, but, I can get Open Weapon Slots to work, any interest?

wow that's a small map. Anyways, do we even have permission to use it? I don't like using people's stuff without permission.

Realistically, how much time before you start this? Because Contingency isn't quite finished, but it's almost there. Also, I don't have access to the dropbox anymore, since I thought this was never going to happen, so I'll just leave a link to my map when it's ready for you guys. Spanky, are you or Killa going to stick around on the forums for a while? I may have a couple of questions about the last couple of things I've gotta do.

I'll be here. You could also just ask spanky to add you to the drop box again. You have to do briefings for your map too. We also need level shots for all the new maps but I don't really know how to do that. I'll see if I can bug spanky and have him show me how to do it.
-
If isn't ready in time, then gets on the next update, honestly i rather have a quick update than having to wait more because of one map, not saying it isn't worth, just saying there is time on another update, so take your time ;)

I might be able to finish petrol as well though, depending on when he wants to push out this update.

yes, ELiZ posted it in the other topic.

fy_poolday is a CS 1.6 map, as maapers have did de_aztec, I dont see much prob. using it, even if the port was made by someone else :D

I'll hang around to help get this update get published. Me, Killa, Koden, Blue and probably a couple of others have a fair bit of time invested in the critical updates that were done months ago.
I'm not on the Dropbox group anymore. I do have all the files but I left the group.
Doing levelshots properly is somewhat tedious:
Set all your ingame settings to high
Force Anti-Aliasing in your graphics card drivers
Go into your AA system folder and rename the "pb" folder to something else (temporarily)
Load up your map
Bind "shot" to a key (for high quality uncompressed BMP images)
"setres 1280x720" in the console
Take a few screenshots using the "shot" function
Pick a screenshot and pop it into Photoshop or some other image editing tool
Squish the image (not crop, uncheck "constrain proportions" in PS) to 1024x1024
Export the image as TGA with 24 bits/pixel
Bring up UnrealEd, load whatever texture package holds the levelshots (I honestly don't remember if it's mAAp or T-Maps or...)
Import the image with the same naming style as the others.
Edit the tours.ini to point to that image.
Skrewy reminded me that I forgot to mention why you squish the 1280x720 image to 1024x1024. There's a few reasons. One, the images on the media page of this site are all 720p. Two, I've found that the majority of people will have a widescreen resolution so when you put a square image in the GUI that's stretched to a widescreen image, that square image then gets stretched too. So, you're taking a widescreen image, squishing it square (which is also the only format UnrealEd imports) and then when it's loaded, it gets stretched back out to a widescreen image. You do lose some quality but I've done quite a bit of menu work and this is the best method I've come up with.
