Bahl: i wonder, how the refill should be triggered?
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: walk up to ammo box, press "Use"
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: hear a sound of some sort, to know you got ammo
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: like HL1 "picked up ammo" sound.
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: some kind of cooldown needs to be made
Bahl: yeah, we could reuse that sound ... or use the reloading sound... or i could skim the sound repository we have ^^
Bahl: like the area can only privde one aoom refill each minute?
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: true
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: so you cant throw 1 grenade, pick up new, throw 1 pickup new, etc
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: no spam etc
Bahl: would be nice to have some kind of indication of the refill progress...
Bahl: could switch between an empty box and a banner to a filled box and a banner
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: or a full/empty box
Bahl: you mean have a half empty box inbetween?
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: yeah something like that
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: so when people take ammo from it, it changes to a different submodel.
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: also, there already is a banner in that map, the flags you capture?
Bahl: yeah
Bahl: i want to replace their models
Bahl: add the ammo box..
Bahl: when captured
Bahl: the area entity shall be the entity that implements the functionality we need
zenarion[SWE][MoW]: alright

Wahey, neat :-D.

remember, you can reuse existing material!

You can just take the grenades and stuff from weapon models that you please.

DONE Issue A 1.1
DONE when selecting to become leader, you actually get more spawns (instead of less).
DONE when having chosen leader, you still spawn as a normal marine
DONE Issue B 1.1

All right, we are ready for a new alpha!

yeah, it could certainly use some more decor :-). I maxed out the world faces to 1k in the worst place, so things would have to be entity faces. (that means for the most part, decor should be models.)

Current style and decoration is light blue, light golden/orange, sand, wood colored rock-walls, dark grey concrete structures, imperial eagles, since this is a former imperial planetary defense post. (That large gun was supposed to be fired in earlier version to trigger a BT win.)

What would your ideas be for decoration?

When running through the map, my first thought is: we could use models for those consoles / computers used as buttons and for the ugly old ceiling-lights.

DONE - standard melee weapons still have a power weapon effect
DONE - the 'No Leader' button should be a 'Toggle Leader' button instead (default false).
DONE - the lives in HUD are calculated wrongly by factor 10 in the case of BT devastator
DONE - when killing yourself below 0 points, you get a lot of points (integer overflow)
DONE - when being out of spawns, you cycle the class and weapon menus
DONE - necron speeds are too low, even wraiths
DONE - followbots and robots don't stop shooting once they started
DONE - when a player disconnects during round end, the round state is bogus

CANT - when reconnecting, the mouse look gets turned off ... not enough information for reproducing it
CANT - sometimes a reconnected player cant see any entries in the scoreboard ... not enough information
CANT - sometimes after a while, the client side weapon stops working and only switching weapons helps
CANT - after several rounds, he server is getting out of edicts and the client randomly terminates after a while

FATAL ERROR (shutting down): ED_Alloc: no free edicts

After a little research, I think it may be map related. Lets see if this happens on a certain map only. Alternatively, it may be with many followbots or any other entity that gets spanwed but never removed. A good feature may be to have a surveillance of the used entities each round for example and store that information per map counting up the rounds. I will only woalk into that solution if we continue to have the problem with next alpha.

Okey, my first little test with robots exposed the following problems:

DONE - the recoil of the shooting weapons seems to be calculated wrongly. it decreases too fastly making the recoil look very abrupt. ... stupid frame recalculation.

DONE - the log messages String concatenation exposes the same bug as in windows.. numbers are added at the front instead of where they belong.

DONE - the smallest cooking time made the grenades start from the left hand instead of the right one. ... that was confusing.

DONE - the server seems to be very busy logging the AI messages.

DONE - we have a leak creating edicts all the time after a player has left the server empty. ... fricking old voice game manager has a leak (if not more).

DONE - if the robot connects to rs_ca_platform choosing IW (which is forbidden) it will crash once he is supposed to choose the weapon (or class if i don't remember correctly).

DONE - the robot is idling all the time. ... never trust the compiler to initialise integers with 0.

DONE - after the bugfix for recoil, all muzzles need to be adjusted. ... gods what a fricking tedious task!
