Good job Ham. I think the dry run went very well. Glad to see ppl contribute.

hm i will have to consider joining in, maybe even go old school and jump in as "Maverick!" woo.

Battle is coming down. Problems with the host or something, they are no longer hosting any zones. So whatever is up, is coming down soon. Tool you can kiss my ass, it was never battle. it was barg, get it right. anywho, lots of drama going on now at home, if things settle down then maybe ill join chaos dev officially.

Some factors include me trying to press the stop key on timer. They are also not my best times for each, they are just how long they took. So i think maybe on the one that took longer i hit a corner wrong. We can maybe mess with it later and see what we come up with. But yeh on ave I'd say 20 seconds was a pretty good number. Battle will factor in to actual times. I did this when no one was on. If i were on when you tried to go to safe, I'm willing to bet i would come at you and you would die. Then you could just fly into spec.

A: 16.43 sec B: 22.38 sec C: 21.09 sec D: 25.28 sec E: 18.21 sec F: 16.50 sec G: 20.45 sec H: 16.43 sec I: 23.00 sec ave time: 19.97 sec Thats all i had time for at the time to test. i will test more spots later. All i did was give myself a random warp and timed myself to safe. So worst case scenario: you are off in a corner. Press insert then go to safe. oh yeh heres the gfx.

Don't rely on toys. Also the key to staying alive, is not dying. Keep that in mind. if you just HAVE to have toys then GREEEEEEEN. from your posts it just seems like you want to recreate dz-like zone with toys. Lazy lazy lazy! now go green.

is this how you treat all your mantoys? You violated, psha. Thats not what you said ....

i should have explained a little better. Cool Cat is inside of a box, he can not move only rotate. The "Boss" is also fixed. They both just rotate. What I know is that the Boss axis is (x,y). I know Cool Cat's rotation. Now I need to know where to put the bot to shoot from under the image of the terrier, and make it look like it is shooting. I could get a distance from Boss.Axis, but I'm not sure. I will have to test diff distances. I just needed the expression to plug into the bot. That way on startup it can do all the math and store the numbers in an array for later use.

The ship is the player. I want to put the bot in A,B,and C to fire weapons. I need to know how to get each A(x,y) B(x,y) and C(x,y). Whats given is Player(x,y) and Rotation(0-39). Distance between Player(x,y) and each of the points. how to?

XP professional 32bit. I'm not sure what the code means hehe. I just know I broke it $$.

thnx. Ive used Drake for a while and I'd just like to say you guys have done an awesome job. I dont think you get it enough =).

Open #boss.lvl , import PsyBoss1.lvz, save lvl and lvz, exit. Once you get back into it, it gives an elvl error. and some tiles out of range or something. Hope this helps, and I would like a fix =). Drake-Bug.zip

I vote 98 with dynamic freq/green settings. No Bonuses.

My feelings on svs settings are: !!awesomeness!!. Keep it on a permanent basis with 2 exceptions(maybe 3). Greens- I don't think that the programmers for ss ever figured out how to balance greens with zone settings. i myself have played with the settings and it is just impossible to do so without a bot. This brings me to freq changes. These 2 can go hand in hand. My suggestion for freqs is this: Do not fall below 3 ppl per freq and you should be able to meet both parties in the middle. Gad and friends like to stick together, and 1 per team takes the fun out of it for players like them. Now others would like to keep huge freqs from forming too early on (like jenn suggested). I think 3 min can make both parties happy and keep a nice balance. (more greens per low pop. Freq limiter with min of 3) I don't know what the settings for random are now, but I say no random direction for shrap and no random damage set for bullets/shrap. These are the only changes i suggest making. (I did like the 2bounce lancy bombs though) The more changes you make now, the higher the risk you run of being in the same situation you are now.(too many ppl unhappy) My 2 cents.

me too. Its quite surprising to see that averages are pretty high too. So not many ppl neg(or dont try to anyway 8]) If you are going to change more settings when you revert, i say why not start at ground zero. Start at svs and work from there.

uhm Biller back up. someone lock?

I agree, maybe we can give them all the resources we have now detailing what the ships look like and give them instructions on what we expect. If we put up enough money this will be a contract, a job. I'm sure we will get back good results.

Seems like that's only for trench wars. If something were to be setup for the ship models in specific, i would also donate. How much would depend on when we get this started. If we do decide to move on with this i suggest you hit all popular 3D Forum/sites. Check out which are the best ones and then post there once we iron out the details. With the video and the image files that we have of the rotating ships, I am sure that recreating them will be no problem for some of these people. We also need to agree that these images will be shared within the SS community. I have a ton of things i would like to do with them myself. - PsyOps

Gad you are a Big Baby. Cant have a simple discussion without you acting like a child. And yes you should be banned, not for your type of gameplay, but because you cheat. You used to esc-q out of death. You have been known to use multiple PCs to gain an edge on play.(1 was changing freq sizes to increase freq limit) You have used bonus gifts as a way to escape death and not as they were intended. (rabbit) You generally bring in a bad vibe to the zone and you act like a big baby. Those are just some. **hugs** - PsyOps

You have blinders on Gad. No matter what changes happen you will not give up until all your demands get met exactly the way you want. What i don't understand is how you manage to lame perfectly well in the current settings and yet you still complain. If you do not like the way it is, then go somewhere else. You have many many suggestions, why not create your own zone. Although many of the changes have been minor to the original SVS settings, Chaos has been and always will be SVS. I can assure you that even though you hate chaos and its settings now, you would hate them more if they went back to TRUE svs. With all the time and energy you have put into complaining about chaos and its' staff you could have created many arenas and bots. Why not create a map, settings, and possibly a bot to go along with it- u supplied you with a core that you could make a bot with(u once knew VB). If anyone was to approach hallu with a complete project to include everything i mentioned, i do not see why he wouldn't use them for an event once a week(as long as it didn't conflict with any other event. At least that way you could have your way once a week. Do something with all that built up energy that you have. Ill try not to post anymore on gad hate. Im not here to bash on gad =). -PsyOps

Ding ding ding.... You hit the nail on the head. i don't BELIEVE that the chaos zone should be oriented towards hunters. I believe that all play styles can and should be allowed to play. I have a problem with hunters and admins running around changing zone settings because they cant kill turrets. its the same old story of the past 5 years on this forum. Hunters cry... and then the admins change the settings. i can provide a LONG list of changes that have been made ... however i've posted them in the past and people cry that the post is to long to read.... I didn't make my point clear. I should have worded differently. Should read: According to gad, Chaos is supposed to be oriented towards hunters. Yet every last bit of gad's actions and requests have been oriented towards ONE type of play, weak unskilled players that back arrow or turret.

I should have been more clear about that. That comment was aimed at Gad. We had a discussion on Hallu, and how he never does anything for the zone.(according to gad)

I think the reason it was posted here was because Nude stepped up and decided to take point on all discussions related to setting changes. Hallu has been back for some time now, and since his return he has been systematically changing settings trying to find the best combo to better suit new players in the game. He has also created many new features that have been pretty cool. Chaos has become a haven for all old timers, and because of that most new players (if any) get stomped out and never come back. Bonuses were never properly tested IMO, I was never a hard core chaos player but thats what i got out of it. It seems to me that Bonuses are just making good players even better. Awarding better players with more of a curve seems like a bad idea. No one's hand was forced here, If you have any suggestions post here and give your thoughts on the subject. Hallu will consider every suggestion, and has. I'd like to add one more thing. Just because you see no activity or no response from hallu, do not make the mistake of assuming he is doing nothing. I may not be a great influence to any decision made in chaos, but i do hear 90% of whats going on behind the curtain. Everyone's perspective, thoughts, opinions, and actions get addressed. I am also not shy about telling him about the things i disagree with! Go minereppers! Down with flagging! and finally do away with bonuses! (or cap them!) - PsyOps
