030 Dragon Fly [270] v1.0.8

[ZERO]

Ultimate ability finished. I have really tried to take this ability and effect to the next level. Player is now completely invisible however the location of the start of the blue effect should be enough to indicate where they are. Effect (not invisibility) lasts for a few seconds after landing but does not follow the player and its dispersion point is placed under the map to hid any new particle creation temporary.

Now this just leaves blood loss and I hope that you all like how the ult works now. If there are any bugs or other issues with it let me know so I can fix them asap.

Me and jig did a lot of testing with this yesterday and everything appears working. Once I get the effect for blood loss done it will be released.

I want to get Santa done in time for Christmas!

Not sure what caused it, but one time, when Kygn was using his ulti, I couldn't see his particles. I could see mine, and he could see both his and mine. This was the third or fourth time in a round he went into his ulti mode.

Another one time only thing: Kygn killed me, he was in Ulti mode and stayed till round change. He spawned in midair taking damage.

Couldn't reproduce either of these things, and didn't personally see the glitch he had, but there's the information.

Also concerned that the particles keep spawning after death. Not sure how long, I'll test again once the test server is on a bomb map.

I have updated the way the fly effect functions if a player dies while flying so that it terminates properly.

Please report any other bugs and it will be released when determined to be bug free.

Server crashed/went down when using ulti upon spawn(de_dust2), a few minutes before this post. No idea if this was Dragon Fly related, server related, or what. I've done it in the same way, both prior and after, and never happened again.

Particle seems fine now, nothing else of note from solo testing. Will be testing again later, have to go now, just wanted to bring this up in case it IS related.

I found an error that was related to changing from DragonFly to another race that was in the logs around the time of your testing. I have corrected the issue and it should be error free now.

Also is everyone happy with the effect for blood loss?

Ok, a second time the damage in spawn happened. I'm thinking the death sparks aren't going away right away, got knocked down to 30 this time. It involved me respawning in the same place where I killed the enemy. The death sparks effects AREN'T there, but I'm taking damage. Edit: Just did it a third time to confirm, this is a consistent happening.

Blood loss is noticeable from the attackers POV, and not bad from the attacked. I like it.

No other problems.

On a side note, the server is going to be bloody blue for a while after this is released :P

Ok, new edit: in a WTF moment, kygn, having Secure Connection problems... Lost his knife... Kept his pistol while not in ulti, but didn't have the knife in any mode. Edit to the Edit: ALL knives are gone. Changing races solved the problem, suicide did not, ending the round did not, leaving and rejoining did not.

Edit AGAIN: now, not ALWAYS getting weapons back after coming out of ulti. Got nothing, then got my main back.

In this glitched state: killing myself in this glitched state results in me not spawning with a gun next round. Correction: I go in and out of this state at seemingly random.

The issue with the sparks should be fixed. Also if you die while flying you will lose your weapons. This provides a little balance to the weapon menu as it is not as though you can not get the shit free from there. The inconvenience also reinforces players not wanting to die while in flight.

As for the issue with the knife there is nothing that removed the knife from the player so it sound like something client side, unless another player can recreate it.

Please test and confirm everything is working correctly now.
