1.0.0

Initial Release


1.0.1

1.0.4

Confirmed race code, now running RESTORED version
updated weapon removal code.


1.0.5

Corrected major bug (missing line of code) that resulted in the respawn only being allowed to trigger once

[ZERO]

All initial programing done. Got one ability finished but with no effects yet, will do effects when abilities go into testing. As fire is different now the blind ability while burning has been removed. This was also required to balance the fact that abilities trigger differently now vs before. The only other change was to make the length of burn and blind abilities on level 1 .5 instead of .7 as previously it went .7 then .5 then to 1.0 so the new order of .5 .7 1.0 is easier for users to understand and will avoid false bug reports.

[ZERO]

All abilities completed, race released for testing. NOTE that NO effects have been done yet. This is just a test that the abilities work correctly.

[ZERO]

Race completed, as far as I can tell everything is working. Please test and confirm :wtg:

[maynard]

works great. the distance needs 2 be lowered on the ult though it's teleporting like 2500 feet lol

also cool down should be 20 seconds like human

[Masskid]

if teleport is spammed fast enough beast will teleport multiple times

Beast teleport should be changed b4 release right?

[ZERO]

As far as the multi teleport the same applies for the human too. There is currently no good way to prevent this.

What I suggest to the teleport is that we could:
Reduce distance 50% for each level
or
Increase time 100% for each level
or
reduce distance 25% and increase time 100% for each level

Final testing and balancing, everything should be good now. Expect release within 24 hours. :wtg:

1.0.0


Initial Release

[Suprise Butsexz]

Very very rarely, it says my beast resurrection went off with 0 points in the skill.

[maynard]

you sure it was actually your beast rezzing you and not 1 of the other races that revive fallen teammates?

Yeah it says you revived by skill, not so and so is reviving you.

1.0.1

[VladtheImpaler]

I would say the res skill is broken. I have confirmed with other people playing the race, even when maxed its more like a 1/10 or 1/15 chance of going off. I thought this would be its best ability, instead I find that I am ignoring it as it seems pretty much nonexistent. When I talk to other Beast players they say the same thing, it never works. Maybe I just have really shitty luck and I get the 66% a lot more often? I counted though at least on 3 different occasions, anywhere from 10-15 deaths and no res given. In fact I cant remember it ever going off since I had it maxed at one point.

[VladtheImpaler]

So I did my research last night. I logged on my beast and promptly got ressed by ability on the first round, the awesome part is I did not have a single level in Beast respawn ability. I then respeced to full 8 points in respawn ability and played for the night. In 48 deaths I did not receive a single respawn with my ability. As the chance says in the raceinfo 33% chance at max level the chancing of it not going off once in 48 deaths is practically nill. By chance I should have gotten at least 16 respawns. So it would seem to me that this class is broken. It seems like a really great race, but this ability is really holding it back by not working I think.

[ChosenofChaos]

Another issue is beast's respawn time. When you do get it if your lucky it says 17 seconds but you just reappear instantly so I don't know.

[Blackmage]

Testing in the Test server:

Repsawns:

1:100 at 8/8
0:10 at 7/8
0:10 at 6/8
0:10 at 5/8
0:10 at 4/8
0:10 at 3/8
0:10 at 2/8
0:10 at 1/8

There's some data for you Zero.

As an aside, I had an epic score of -170/170 at the end :)

[ZERO]

Found the glitch:
new respawn_level=skill_level_respawn[attacker];

so it was dependent on who killed you... oops

[ChosenofChaos]

Excellent!

[Blackmage]

So, what does my single respawn by suicide mean? Just picked a random variable out of thin air? Or that the respawn with 0% chance still works?

[acolyte_to_jippity]

well, maybe the world has killed enough people to have leveled up beast?

i mean, sourcetv has a fuckton of levels....

and the world causes a HELL of a lot more deaths

[ZERO]

The world always has the most kills and the highest level. The world likely has maxed races too including ones that do not exist...

[Blackmage]

If it has everything maxed, then should I have been getting the right number of revives, 33:100 or so. I was wondering why it was exactly 1, which means it hit SOMETHING that allowed it to res, but not 13-33%, not even close. Or am I misunderstanding what you said as well.

Meh, if it's nothing, it's nothing, I was just curious.

[VladtheImpaler]

I <3 Zero!!!! thanks for fixing u rocks!

[SCRIBBLE]

If the suicide was console>kill then I don't believe the world does any damage... which would mean you technically killed yourself which procced the ability. I thought world only inflicted damage when the props kill you or you fall to your death. Maybe?

Nice data collection Blackmage.

Regarding world having races -- that would explain why doors only did ~10,000-100,000 when server went back up and now it does ~2,000,000. It must be on nebula. :headache:

[Blackmage]

Can't confirm if this can get the spectator glitch, but revives self with Resurrection Of The Beast, so suggesting spectator spawn filtering.

1.0.4


Confirmed race code, now running RESTORED version

[StarsMine]

I feel like the beasts resawn ability doesnt work at all. Level 7 respawn, 15 deaths, and not a single proc.
EDIT: 24 Deaths

U are absolutely on the dot! I levelled my beast 10 levels today( only 2 more to max it) , was playing it all night , i have my revive maxxed already and it didnt Revive me Except ONCE all night. I was bit bing about on dolls too, thought i was just being unlucky like on void... But theres a chance that the beast respawn is broken.

And zero? While u're at it, can you fix the messenging system for the beast revive? It keeps saying that it will revive me in 15 seconds AFTER it already respawned me 6 seconds later. Its as if u're using the orc revive to revive as beast, but the message is wron and delayed...

Speaking of which, orc doesn't give you ANY warnings that you're gonna respawn, or at least i have never read anything, and im a chat box fanatic that reads everything on the bottom left...

[ZERO]

The problems with the messages are with the changes to the engine hint txt system that creates unpredictable random delays in transmission. The issue should be resolved with the respawn sound update down the road.

I will look into the respawn issue right now.

Please keep in mind that other respawn based races may be effected by this same missing code so if you think there is any other effected races please post in the thread for that race and I will check it. :wtg:

[brett friggin favre]

i feel like i'm respawning 100% of the time now, or close to it

[ZERO]
