Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
That's one point where we agree, I beleive this post's purpose was to get feedback from the community on the mod, not feedback on the feedback. I just got caught up in the rise to the troll bait game, and I really don't want to play that no more. That's why my posts were edited. Sorry to remove your fun. Apologies to the other forumers.
Nothing like some Seventeenism to detract from a thread. Anyway...
When I have to make a long distance shot, I INFstinctively crouch and try to control my breathing
If possible, I'd like to see Gord's hands steady up a little when he crouches. That, and/or a key binding to make Gord control his breathing for a few seconds would be excellent.
Incidentally, I find that yurchOffset_x 3 works best for me, though it makes the shotgun and crossbow "float".
On an unrelated note, I've been tweaking around with skill.cfg in order to rebalance the game, since your mod definitely puts the player at a major disadvantage, due to how HL2 was designed; that, and I figure if I'm going to play HL2 like INF, I want the guns to hurt like INF
. I basically upped the damage of most weapons, made shots to arms and legs do 30% of regular (chest/stomach) damage, and headshots do 300%. The pistol now kills a zombie in 2 headshots, a headcrab in 1 shot, the low level Combine soldiers in one headshot or two torsoshots--so to speak-- and so forth. It's still a quick and dirty tweak, as I haven't had a ton of time to playtest it, but quick runs through Nova Prospekt and Ravenholm were encouraging. If anyone wants a copy, please PM me. The installation and uninstallation is hassle-free.
The vertical freeaim isn't working for me, and I still have to manually set it to hard, disable the crosshair and enable the console. This happened with a fresh install of the mod, as well as when I just copied it over the previous version. Ah well.Yurchie said:

I just checked the file... argh... through some sort of mixup the wrong version is up. Edit2 - don't you love case sensitive systems? Proper version should be up If you want I'll start including your damage changes if you want, I've got no objections to some rebalancing.TheShiningWizard said:
As far as the weapon distances go, give me a yurchOffset for each weapon and I'll 'calibrate' them in to be a bit more accurate, as well as permanent.
as a side question, how come you aren't in IRC anymore?

Heh. I downloaded what I'm assuming is the correct version (it had 197 files--old download had 196). The vertical freeaim wasn't working, but I'll reinstall it and give it another go.
I'll PM you the skill.cfg. It also ups Gord's carrying capacities for most ammo (ex. 36 .357's, 72 shells, 540 SMG bullets [a dozen full reloads], etc.).
Here're my suggestions for the yurchOffsets.
Pistol: 6
Magnum: 7
SMG: 2
Assault rifle: 4
Shotgun: 1
Crossbow: 1
The following suggestions aren't important, for obvious reasons.
Crowbar: 4
Gravity gun: 5
Grenades: 2
RPG: 3
BUG BAIT!: 1
As a side answer, I got out of the habit of IRCing once #infiltration turned into an idle channel
On a completely unrelated note, I stumbled upon a console command that makes ragdolls pile up on each other instead of clip through. cl_ragdoll_collide 1
Its effect is most apparent when you kill a bunch of enemies in a staircase. I put it into my userconfig.cfg

1: Awesome, now I might be able to beat the game only using the .357 and RPG when necessary.
2: Quoted for truth.
(quote slightly modified to make my post look better)
Not when they're C cups that perk like B cups baby!!!!!! C is the place for me....
On a non-tit note, I have another suggestion for Yurch.
I was thinking that you could use Gord's auxiliary power to steady his aim. You hold the assigned button, Gord's hands stop shaking (or at least don't shake as much) and his auxiliary power drains, just like it does when you sprint. You could also limit him to the walk/crawl speed while doing this in order to keep the feature balanced. I know that this isn't very INF-like, but it fits well with HL2, methinks.
Having a steady feature would make the medium-long range fire fights a lot less aggravating, especially in light of your mod breaking the crossbow.

I was chatting with Yoitch on IRC, and he wasn't too keen on the idea, as he's designing IASP with player-vs-player combat in mind. I'm guessing that if he does choose to address singleplayer, he'll find a way to make the Combine soldiers less proficient with their weapons in order to level out the playing field. Maybe, Yurch, you could slow down the reflexes of the soldiers to simulate them having to line up their shots?*

Ahahaha holy shit, I can't hit a damn thing with the .357 anymore. This is going to take some getting used to

I think there might be more goodness in store. The long awaited multiplayer SDK is just around the corner (yeah, riiiight), along with a TDM update. That is the goal, right? Killing eachother rather than just computer generated AI?

Hey yurch, I have a file for you. It'll fix the names of all the chapters, weapons, death messages and load/save notifications. I'll email it to you.
Awesome. I've got nothing new (that works) and I'll also be out most of this weekend, so who knows how long it'll take me to update with something 'real'.
