i would like to join in on the testing, but i cant find a place where i could register for this testing event
There is currently no schedule testing times, but the server is running for the public at all times! Feel free to join and check out the latest changes.
Hey porthos, why dont ya simply fix a steam group with all the people who wish to test 2.21a weapons, then ya could simply send a msg to all of em whenever were doing a larger test
Not Found The requested URL /porthos/Empires_Custom_Scripts_Tool.bat was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Here ya go http://www.megaupload.com/se/?d=721DFKP8 type in the 3 letter pass, press download, w8 45 sec, press download again.
Here is new download link. Dunno what happened to old one. http://dump.desync.nl/Empires_Custom_Scripts_Tool.bat
stupid noob question: the .bat that changes everything for you; does it execute automatically when you join the server and reset it when you leave, or do you have to run it before and after you get on the test server?
The last time i checked your weapon scripts (three days ago), the scout rifle was still useless. I would suggest that 1 headshot should kill any guy without health and diggin at any range. If you worry about a too strong sniper rifle, lower the clipsize and the overall amount of ammo a sniper can take. Right now it seems really useless to have a scope on that thing....
These are no longer "my" scripts. They are now a collabrative effort between Beerdude and myself. With that said, the SR (Scout Rifle) is the most heavily contested infantry weapon at the moment. Some people want it gone entirely and others want HeadShot kills from across a map. As it stands the scout rifle has the ability to achieve a headshot kill on the Engineer, Grenadier and Scout. Due to the armor ability natural to the rifleman a headshot kill is not possible with this version. Of course this has to be done within a certain range. The SR currently in testing is a halfway point between both groups. It is far stronger in terms of damage than the 2.21 version, yet not something you can use from a bush on the edge of visible distance getting headshot kills against infantry. It will require more skill as you'll have to be closer to the enemy and hide yourself more effectively. As always we are open to suggestions for improvement and will look into your idea.
Yeah i think it doesnt really matter how good or bad the scout rifle is. People that want to sniper will use it no matter what. You can sometimes, on maps like duststorm, see people using the weapon the whole game and bitching how useless it is. The fact that they dont change to another class/gun even if they know how it sucks shows that it is a special type of player...
That would require a lot more work. I wish someone would just code me a GUI. My batch file is like 9 pages for the 5 commands it does do.
Why didn't you use SVN??? Porthos, That batch file is huge... You might want to try one of these. I think you could make a similar tool with C# in 250 lines
dont do it on my account. it was not a complaint veiled as a question, it was just a question. i havent had a chance to play on the server yet (got deadspace the day after i saw this thread), but im about to hop on to see how it goes.
