Devlog Build 1492 - Mechanisms and More!

Warning. You most likely will lose your account forever. Be very careful. Call the police. Your reputation will get destroyed if you don't. Run. Now. Save your life.
No, you won't get banned if some kid reported you for false speedhacking. Video evidence is required and it's utterly hard/impossible to modify it up to accusate you wrongly.

I will try to find the logs on the issue and send them to skinney on IRC. Though it may be due to my quickly done mod but i'd be surprised, or due to mC (but i'd be really surprised).

 

Was just sharing my "lel" moment with you people.
Considering it's related to the new anti-speed hacks debuff update thingy.

He should of read the update and realized it's merely a distant dream to speed hack now.

 

Are you considering making a tutorial for when mechanisms are able to be built?
Also, I like the new water feature, but imo the bubble sprites should be a bit more "chunky" (probably just me being stupid) to match KAG style, because atm the pixels are really small (again, me being a bitch about it).
In the end, it's a really good update.

 

A hint for @Geti: ArrowDown.png, it has disappeared.
I detest the new bubbles as they:

1. Look horrible.
2. Doesn't prompt me.

 

very constructive

 

I don't like the new breathing system, I can last like 4 seconds underwater before drowning to death against like 8 seconds or something before the update, and as someone who enjoys the hell outta water combat dis be hell

 

Water is made to be an obstacle in this game, so this will encourage players to build more naval siege rather than play an Olympic pool game, imo.

 

I think both Potatoo

 

That would be nice and all if boats where usable in anyway longboats are cool and all but 1 boulder or knight that falls on top of em and they just stop right in their track and you can spam wooden doors/platforms and they become useless, and let's not forget that they need teamwork to be of any use and we all know how much teamwork kag has.....

And warboats are just used as spawnpoints since their ram is non existence you might as well build a small platform and get a balista since it's cheaper and much more useful.

And finally boats actually need some water in the first place and there's like none there used to be some flood-able maps but they got changed so all we got now are pools to play Olympic pool games in

 

When does skinney get head?

 

I played only few rounds on TDM server and don't know how all these mechanisms works yet but:

Mechanisms + Better bot's AI = AWESOMENESS
AWESOMENESS = Great campaign maps (levels) for solo mode or even for small servers (co-op mode) etc.

Btw. anyone have a color palette for new blocks? I know I can find it somewhere in the files but I'm lazy :P

Also I wonder what will happen if I load a map with mechanisms on the CTF server?!

 

Better bot's AI = Work + Slowness
Slowness = Complains

Using aseprite, when you're opening a file, it will automatically load its palette. Try it out.

They will spawn but you won't be able to use them because CTF's gamemode.cfg does not include mechanic scripts. Check out my testing server, open the mod and watch the files around. Feel free to copy/paste it to your own mod if you ever feel, not like I've spend 10 minutes on them. Though mechanics scripts seems to eat up a lot of resources. I had to lower a lot my sv_maxplayers.

 

Back to KAG then I guess.

 

I think water should eventually destroy wooden doors instead of making it where it allows water to pass through if that is what you mean. The same with stone but it takes a bit longer for the water to break away at it.
