SiegeIV Bug's, Nag's and Complaints.. and IDEAS!

Wow, just found out why the Pulse Rifle kept ignoring my efforts to make it use the Shock Rifle's damage type. (WILDCARD!!!!)
The weapon has this default setting, despite not being used:

Code:

ProjectileClass=Class'Botpack.PlasmaSphere'

So it ends up changing the damage type from 'jolted' to 'Pulsed', which is why the Pulse Rifle can kill rubber suiters.

And the LC version used that as base, lucky for us it can be fixed on LCWeapons by nulling out that property.
Will be adding a reminder on the first post anyways.

- - - Updated - - -

LCWeapons_0017 up on Dev2 server, soon to be on Dev1.
unreal://193.111.136.210:7788

The changelog would be this.

Fixed critical exploit that allows damaging any pawn regardless of damage restrictions (teamkill).

Minigun:
- Fixed effects not spawning properly on owner client when aiming down.
- Fixed alt-fire animation desync between clients and server.
- Can use TIW firerates if specified on the server config.

Old Minigun:
- Fixed missing alt-fire effects on clients.
- Fixed firing behaviour being that of the UT minigun.

Shock Rifle (and derivates):
- Alt fire uses experimental simulation when prediction is enabled.

ASMD Pulse Rifle:
- Can have team colored shock effects (no weapon skin yet).

Position advancer:
- Less encroachment checks done (faulty epic code here) during prediction.
- Prediction for PHYS_Falling objects much more precise.
- Now grabs the player's own projectiles for advanced prediction.
** Should get rid of badly simulated explosions and other visual oddities.

XC_Engine v17 servers: bandwidth saved by not sending hidden effects to the owner client.

Bugs:
- Persistent clicking from constructor mode rotation, mentioned last time. Happens on weapon switch during altfire with constructor while altfire is held.
- Ripper headshot distance damage exploit (you know about this one)
- Occasional insta-build. I don't know how to reproduce this, but it seems to happen mostly when I'm crowded up against what I'm building, usually next to a wall. It should be noted that I insta-built a warhead this way, and a player standing on the spot on which I insta-built received the warhead instead of it belonging to me.
- Aforementioned pulse rifle on rubber suit glitch.
- (Buildings, not equipped items) Toxin suits take damage from toxin. Asbestos suits may take damage from fire.
- Spawn protection negates super mines - this is not okay on maps like MiniClarion
- Translocator cancels tele when the module is close to the ceiling. This isn't vanilla behavior.

Suggestions:
- "Reserve" or "Share" for items for specific players, and/or a weapon/item locker building for such a purpose.
- "Move" option ;D
- Freeze grenades ;D

Freeze tag?

Worked around so that others can't hear it... will do smt about that.

Yep, gotta change the way the check works.

SiegeNative was temporarily taken off.

Fixed in LCWeapons_0017, this matter is on someone else's hands now.

Interesting concept, I like the idea of being able to build those suits.
Maybe I could have those suits 'protect' the buildings without applying the armor loss.

The timer is minimal and gets reduced by hitting friendly teleporters.
It's a problem if you're supermining the enemy base (see? not everything is aimed at trapping teams like a dick).

Fixed in SiegeNative (final build), to be fixed in next release anyways.

Been trying to make a speed affector system, when done multiple speed affectors will be able to be stacked together.
I also plan to bring back a new dashpad, Sonic style.

When the 'constructor wheel' mode is implemented, we'll see how we can expand it's abilities.
The wheel system should be far superior to any fast-action based GUI system added in a UT mod.

Move? Not likely, Drag? sure.
Drag a build up to X distance from it's build position for post-build correction.
Would need the 'wheel' for this.

Thanks for the feedback on the feedback. Couple last bugs:

- Orphaned suppliers, even with an often-used SS, aren't removable
- Same deal with the health pod

And suggestions:

- Cancel remove kick-penalty for anything that isn't a container, SC, FF, or SP, particularly if orphaned
- Standard-use (most team players have used to supply to full within 30 seconds of their spawn) SS and SHP should not be removable, even to their owners. The current standard-use SS/SHP should be invincible. This should help prevent rage-removing.
- Orphaned items should either be public, removable for RU without penalty, or both - But removable is probably better in case Grim makes rage-telenetworks
- Kicks on a teammate should require the majority of a team's members rather than a majority of players
- Divide RU of leaving players among teammates if they don't return within the next 1-5 minutes

**Chamberly** · 06-14-2016

I am not sure but does anyone have issue with repairing the core within this kind of scenario or somewhat related?
-Have plenty of RU, repair core awhile using voice menu (V) to hold fire down
-After reaching to 0 RU, it stop repairing even someone upgraded you
Not too sure but I could go for a try again of repair test on public.

The very highly regarded and professional moderator community is able to remove those.

I'd rather keep anti-remove measures at their strongest.

It's not idiocy proof.

Would do with telenetworks, nothing else.

This has already been happening, it's gradual and starts after the first minute.
The core receives additional generation at the rate of (Minutes since left)*(game speed factor)/Second.
Someone leaving with 3000 RU would lose all of his saved RU after a bit more than 8 minutes.
1.325 * (60+120+180+240+300+360+420+480)

Intended, repairing at low rates after you hit 0 RU doesn't justify idling.

- Kicks on a teammate should require the majority of a team's members rather than a majority of players

Any thoughts on this? Is it too ripe for abuse?

Maybe I'll add the same code teleporters have where they can be removed when ownerless (and not invincible, and not the only one on the team)
