031 =Jack= [300] v1.0.3

[CYBER]

Mind sharing the program you used. Also I just need them in a format I can open in gimp so I can save as TGA files to then merge for the vtf.

awesome. in that case im pretty sure bmp files work just fine.
i'll trade u secrets , here's the frames creator :http://www.xoyosoft.com/gs/

but i wish you could post a quick explanation as to what u use to make the sprays and sprites? i know how to do gif -> frames -> gimp...
but i would love to know if the tga are individual files or 1 file merged? and how to convert the tga to a vtf..
this way i can help out in future graphical shit to take a load off ur computing back lol

Well i gimp I can just save it as a vtf but I use VTEX Animation Converter to convert from tga to animated vtf.

I already have the image working in game now I got to get the size and location down and then I can work on the code for making a line of them

The target following for this will be abandoned as it would take too long to program. Perhaps something like this in the future.

It is also not an issue of programming but also the complexity. The ability to cause lag and crashing is too great for something that is not a required part of the race.

Effect done and ready for testing!

OK all that is left is some little effect for when the ult goes off and some sort of spawn effect. Any ideas for the spawn effect?

did you change the jump distance? if not, it's much higher than on the old server.

No, all of the numbers are exactly the same taken directly from the code of the original race.
(just as with the settings for all the races)

be that as it may...it jumps farther. i played the SHIT out of jack back on the old server. you couldn't jump across the courtyard in piranessi in 2 jumps.

ok zero. after testing the races with you , i compiled a list of the stuff we discussed to be fixed.

1- the hearts need to be a smaller (half the current size at most) so that it doesnt blind view when shooting.

2- u mentionned that u wanted to restrict boots of speed.

3- there is a SERIOUS bug in jack, that i found, and you asked me to document that shit so here you.
I went ahead and made a demo of me testing every possible use case scenario involving the issue.
You're right about the deagle, but not fully.

if you watch the demo u will notice that , the deagle alone isnt the problem, its if you buy a deagle to REPLACE a glock.
this can happen 2 ways:
1- u spawned with a glock and u bought deagle.
2- u still have ur glock from last round when u DIDNT DIE.
then if u buy a deagle AND a primary weapon , then use ur ultimate, u will have no more weapons AND u cant even use the bomb ...

i tested it when i bought a deagle the round before,
and then the next round, when i survived, i bought a p90 , did the trick, didnt crash. the reason is that , when i spawned that time, i didnt have a glock that would be replaced by deagle.

i noticed this mostly when i tried dropping my gun, u will see in the demo, that i tried dropping it when i was glitched, all u see is that SAME glock, that i spawned with, being dropped all over the place, not copies of it, the same. it actually teleports from the ground to my hand then drops.
which means that, when the glitch happened, i didnt have the deagle on me anymore, but i was actually dropping the glock that i replaced earlier.

to summarize:
round start + glock (spawned or from previous round) + deagle(bought, didnt test if picked up bcos i was alone in server, no one could buy it for me...)
+ primary weapon (for me itt was p90) + ultimatex2 = CRASH.

hope this helps you, since i filtered out a alot of combos.
u will also find step by step comments in my demo.
it was a little annoying to test, bcos we dont have money... the test server should always spawn u wit 16k zero >_<
