[acolyte_to_jippity]

and i'm sorry i've been playing gg and some zombie.

[maynard]

pff you average 20 minutes a day on WCS and that's if you even play.

and yes, I know you play ZM and GG now... why you think I'm so sad =(

[acolyte_to_jippity]

well that's only w/ my recent name, the zinta one. but yeah, perhaps i have been neglecting my wcs roots. i can't stand all these nubs though. they're nothing like the old crowd i started playing against. i remember when i would know every single person in the games, at least everyone over level 70. now, i don't recognize some folks that almost have fucking eva.

yeah I know what you mean. ive seen it happen several times. there's a lot of high lvl ppl now. we need to make lvl 700+ classes when we get new ones.

[Socalled]

I'm not sure I understand what's going on with the WCS server.. care to explain?

[maynard]

I'm not sure I understand what's going on with the WCS server.. care to explain?

it's being re-coded.. or something like that. end result is that there will be like no lag, and the races will all work when it's done.

[ZERO]

I hope to officially start working on testing an programing by next week. :wtg:

sounds great. lotts of ppl looking forward 2 it :icon_mrgreen:

I have learned how to deal with money in SM now so I can reprogram my spectator money mod into sm. This is the mod that forces you to have 800 when you switch teams. Depending on what I can do it may be possible for it to restore your money rather than force it to 800. Remember the point of this mod is to prevent the spec money / team switch abuse that gives players free money to buy levels.

[maynard]

Lol I'm getting so excited for the WCS server update :icon_mrgreen::wtg::icon_mrgreen:

[ZERO]

I have updated the server now with a sm plugin that I made to prevent the spec money exploit. It does a much better job than my es version. This one will no longer take your money if you switch teams, only if you go into spec. If you do go into spectate you will have your cash set to 0 as soon as you enter and it will remain 0 if you join a team. This will prevent users from having their cash reset after buying shop menu items in spectate to exploit an engine glitch that gives them back their money after joining a team even though the spent it.

[maynard]

Very awesome. now ppl can not have 2 worrie about there money constantly.

[ZERO]

Yea, this will fix the problem of them losing money just becuase they got team swapped.

[Blackmage]

A note on the money fix, now the first round after you join the server (including practice round) you are set to 0 cash.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

so? grow some skills/get to a race that gives you weapons. jack, hellhunter, flamepred, archmage, magician, vagbond, vaglion

comeon, get creative!


but seriously zero, not being able to buy my p228 will be kinda creepy. is the test server online?

[Holy-Sonic]

it's being re-coded.. or something like that. end result is that there will be like no lag, and the races will all work when it's done.

/yay what he said :lmao:

[ZERO]

Updated so that cash is set to 800 instead of 0 thus allowing first round to function normally.

[Cheers]

i am glad and happy to see the wsc server get an update, would make everyting alot more fair and fun. and zero are you gonna make custom races 4 anyone?? i have alot of suggestions, id b glad to help on the test server (class test or somethin) ill be in source wensday.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

people need to stop complaining about balance issues and it not being fair. it's completely balanced.

you just need to invest some time. learn the classes, their quirks, abilities, and weaknesses. the stratagies people who play them like to use.

then plan accordingly. it's not that difficult to do

WCS is balanced and fair......

it would be great if new ppl would stop complaining about this.

just cause you don't like something, doesn't mean the server isn't fair.

[ZERO]

If it was not balanced I would still be balancing it...

[Cheers]

was referring 2 other people not thinking its fair, for me everything is fine. but i would like to test races.

[ZERO]

I wanted to let you all know that the shop menu works differently with this version from what I see. It appears you get credits every time you make a kill and use those to buy things. I will be looking in to see if there is a way to make it money based like it is now.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

yeah, credit-system is fucked up.

good luck zero

okay i probely just stupid this time.. but aint the shopmenu build on money?? or am i just reading wrong again?:banghead:

[acolyte_to_jippity]

shopmenu. not buymenu.

in this new version of wcs, you get "credits" for making kills. these credits can be spent on the shopmenu. however, zero is going to try and change it to allow us to use cash, instead of credits.


on another note, will you be taking some player-suggestions for races? i'm assuming you're going to download s few more races, and also create a few custom ones.

Kind like that gold system some server have?

[acolyte_to_jippity]

Kind like that gold system some server have?

i don't know. what's so hard to understand about it?

[ZERO]

Actually becuase this mod is so new it only has the base races. I am going to need to program all of our current races for it. This is why it is going to take some time. In the coming weeks I will be creating a list of all races that need to be programed and progress for each of them. This way I will also invite any programmers to work on those races to help speed up development. My main focus right now is just to get all of the races converted. Then we can worry about making the powers and leveling the exact same or close to it. The shopmenu problem is at the bottom of the list for now.

[ZERO]

Oh yea, that is why when all the races are ready a test server will be set up for an extended time to allow for full testing for a few weeks before the switch.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

sweet. i'll be there.

can't wait to see the new classes.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

:sigh:

i'm sorry maynard. i'll delete that post.

[maynard]

:sigh:

i'm sorry maynard. i'll delete that post.
as will I then




zero is there any ETA on how much longer till WCS will be fixed?

[ZERO]

The test server will probably be up by the middle of April. Without any rushes it should be done by May. Remember this is a very new mod and so it is going to take some time to get everything to work but once it does it will not break :wtg:
