[Bahl]

well, you may be right there... while it should be possible to avoid when being careful, such a situation can easily drive away newbies... .

[Bahl]

new alpha new luck ^^

[Bahl]

DONE: with three or more ppl on platform, the ones on spectator team cant join any team except for the first two players.

MAP: join a test server a a regular marine or destroy, only got offered the flamer weapon set

DONE: flamer particle is back to front, should be smaller near the gun gitting bigger as it goes away, it appears as a small particle trailing larger ones

CANT: missing notification message at the cap point on destroy
++ i dont have the current map source and so i cant look up which entity it is. ++

DONE: crashed when I selected havoc leader class

CANT: Capping the object on platform crashed the server as a lonely bt terminator
++ cant reproduce it. ++

CANT: client crash when pressing a button on destroy
++ cant reproduce it. ++

MODEL: the heavy bolter is also lookign odd, the projectile travels at an angle to the way the gun sits

[Bahl]

new one available :-). the reason why i took a while: ive been cleaning up the code into a 3 layerd structure and incorporated a chunk of code form the hl1 weapons into the metaengine, which should ease the hl2 portage of the weapon effects.

[Bahl]

DONE: make it 2 jumps before running out of stamina

CANT: flamer and any other follow particles dont work
++ works for me right now. i had some changes in the area though, before this report came in. ++

CANT: votemap doesnt work
++ works for me right now.++

CANT: im getting no death menu
++ works for me right now. i NEED more information about under which cirumstances it appears! ++

DONE: veteran and leader have a very long lasting assault jump

KNOWN: power fist needs an own particle effect and glow model

KNOWN: termies are animated too slowly

CANT: the assault cannon option was not refused by menu, but by command while being no leader
++  shouldnt happen anymore, i changed the code since last version. ++

KNOWN: gametime ran out but mapchange didnt work, so the round got stuck in the middle of nowhere

[Bahl]

DONE: game seems to crash whenever I kill my own followbots.

quite the most bugs fixed codewise at least. c'mon ppl, show me some love and test this bugger!

[Bahl]

well, it's gonna be cool aready, if you just give it a try in a short lonerun

[Bahl]

well that seems to aply for more and more people ^^. yet we are still debugging the metaengine for hl1. little progress for hl2 there... since im in terrible work overload these days.

[Bahl]

rather randomly stumbled. we have no manpower for organised bug hunting anymore. everything is currently on hold anyhow, except for eltharyon and his progress on mapping automation. i want to do a huge new full alpha release, but i need his result for that. otherwise im loaded with re-release of all our models (this time automatically generated and corrected to fix anim glitches and muzzleflashes). that automation process is part of our port to hl2, since we wouldnt want to do the bornig work of porting everything manually.

Im still here...
