It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
So many particles fighting over the z buffer means you get a huge drop in frames. Epic is guilty of it to, check out their new water splash effects.Smoke39 said:
The regular explosion was at 70 for a reason While youre at it, take a gander at the rest of your effects, im sure theres a few that are guilty of being too dense.
I decreased the particles to 100 and it still looks the same as far as I can tell without changing anything else. I'll let you guys see if that got rid of the lag once I get some more work on the flamer done. The flamer's primary's about done, and it won't let you fire underwater. I also made the railgun not fire underwater, what with it relying on electricity and all, plus it seems like a reasonable handicap for such a powerful weapon. Once I get a pilot flame effect on the flamer, I'll let you people play with it while I work on a secondary fire.

Flamethrower is real sweet, but maybe you could make the pilot a little more visible. Maybe just a little bit longer and slightly pale blue toward the tip, a little bit like a blow-torch.
The rocket grenade works much better, nowhere near as much lag.
Lot'sa fun

This is mostly so I don't forget all the crap I just did, but I'm about to test the flamer's new secondary fire, a blow torch, to see if it heals vehicles and stuff correctly (I'm already fairly certain that it gives team mates armor, though I can't actually see the bots' armor levels to be 100% sure). I also changed the way primary's projectiles check if they're hitting a team mate, and made vehicles unable to be set on fire, as well as monsters 'cause I don't wanna deal with adjusting the flames to their abnormal shapes and sizes.
I'll let y'all know how that all goes.

You could just heal the Node base rather than the thingy in the air. I like the idea for the alt though.
Already changed some stuff for a5. Bots should use the quadshot more intelligently, the third person muzzle flash works now, and it has recoil that kicks your view up more with each additional shell. Still not sure how I wanna implement explosive and bouncing buckshot.

Yep. I'm impatient, what can I say.
Thanks, downloading now
(and playing after work
)
More changes for the next version:
rocket handgun death message displays the killer's name instead of %K
grappling hooks don't stick around when you die an' stuff anymore
grappling hooks forget their distance from you when you put the weapon down (so they start where they should if you put the weapon down when the hook's out and then bring it up and use it again)
can't load more shells than you have ammo for with the quadshot (okay, so I haven't actually tested this just yet <_<)
still tweaking bots' use of the quadshot

Your sig is funny as hell. look at him go!
k, um.... the quadshot is great..... machine gun could do more damage but the grappling hook is pretty cool. The flamer makes UT2K4 die when using UT2004RPG (I told you about this already.) The rocket handgun feels like just a faster weaker Rocket Launcher and the Railgun is odd cause you can't control how much zoom you have (it automatically zooms to max when you click secondary. Maybe another UT2004RPG thing? But then again it doesn't affect any other zoom weapon this way at all......)
And whats up with the railgun not killing stuff inone hit, I used this in CTF with Invasion Everywhere to get Queens and Titans etc. and even though the Queens and Titans onlky have like 1000 or so health, I had to use like five or six shots to kill them. Needs to be like Instagib here, cause it IS a Railgun after all.
Overall me likey.

I've been considering beefing the machine gun up a little bit for a while now. Just a tiny bit.
UT2004RPG is mean.
Does the rocket handgun bore you, then? What would you find more interesting?
The railgun should have two zoom levels. D'know what's happening in your case.
The railgun does 300 damage. If y'really want I could make it 10000000 or whatever like in P2K3. I don't actually remember now why I reduced it. o.o Anyway, it does 150 damage to vehicles, so it's pretty good against them. If I make the railgun über-powerful again, how effective should I let it be against vehicles?

300 damage to people, 150 to vehicles is fine. Don't listen to Nem. He's an overkill freak.
and I personally like the rocket handguns quite a bit.
