  1. Just seemed like an easy way to stop them from moving, which seemed to be what CreatiX wanted. If you don't care about them drifting, just copy the rotation from p->position.rotation and shoot periodically.
  2. Make the turrets attachable by 1 ship? So if you drop a turret, you can "hop in" and control it. Then make it match the rotation of whomever is attached.
  3. I've asked people repeatedly for situations where turning off summoner would be reasonable, and heard no replies beyond "there are cases". So I'm thinking it's one of those lame cases that you'd rather not advertise. Meaning I won't be implementing it.
  4. 1.) The marginal usefulness of a m!@#$%^&* summoner is completely negated by the fact that there's a delay. We're not planning on adding this feature. 2.) No other zone gives you money based on how much bounty you have. 3.) If we can't find 7 decent bases, how are we going to find 8?

    You lost the original, so I pretty much had no choice but to recreate it. You can't really complain about that. Note that this is only a very basic starting point.
  6. I'm guessing you don't know the kind of people that play HS.
  7. Lol. Moving to trash talk, like all "I'm leaving" messages.
  8. What would happen is that there would no longer be any point to flagging. People aren't suddenly going to be more team oriented. They're going to get angry and frustrated and stop basing.
  9. What exactly is that supposed to mean? Armchair in that context means "a casual critic who lacks practical experience" from Wikipedia. It means you guys really have no idea what things matter.

    Yes, that's exactly what we're looking for.

    Reset

    It's about 30% done. So it won't be finished soon unless I get a major increase in free time (which may actually happen when classes start).
  12. ROTFLMAO thats all you can say dose that mean its true? Meaning I wasn't going to take the time to read your post if you weren't going to take the time to make it understandable.

    Reset

    All ships and money have been reset.
  14. Try punctuation.
  15. You're !@#$%^&*uming (incorrectly) that population is my goal for the zone. Yes, population has dropped, and it's not hard to see why: flagging isn't any fun. But knowing that flagging is flawed isn't enough to know how to fix it. Fixes have to be done carefully to not upset the delicate balance.

    Point Defense

    local int count_freq(Arena *arena, int freq, Player *excl, int inclspec) { Player *p; Link *link; int t = 0; pd->Lock(); FOR_EACH_PLAYER(p) if (p->arena == arena && p->p_freq == freq && p != excl && IS_HUMAN(p) && ( p->p_ship != SHIP_SPEC || inclspec ) ) t++; pd->Unlock(); return t; } Note the IS_HUMAN(p) check. Meaning PD won't get counted, at least as far as the server is concerned. It's possible that Continuum does some checking.

    I'm pretty sure the server doesn't count fake players when !@#$%^&*igning entering players to teams.

    Point Defense

    It pulled other things in? If you just meant bad, why take the time to type out literally and make the meaning wrong? Seriously though, PD was never meant to be a serious gun. It probably shouldn't be signature, but that's not a big deal either way.
  19. Continuing discussion in PM.
  20. Glad you got it working.
  21. You sure that's the right ban id? If it is, you know that swearing profusely still counts as swearing, right?
  22. Make sure it doesn't remove custom region chunks (I'm still using 3.1.10, so maybe it's already fixed?).
  23. Yeah, that file looks like an Nvidia thing. I don't know why you'd be having trouble with only hyperspace, though.
  24. Ban #?
  25. Moving to Trash Talk.
