: : I'm running the latest version of the linux server and : : I have a few problems with the config variables. (Or else : : they're just behaving wierd.) : : set flare_health (>0) -> can't kill the flare no matter : : what I shoot it with, but I can stomp on it and it : : goes out (as predator or marine) : : set flare_damage (>0) -> I can step on it but it actually : : raises the health of the person stepping on it. (Haven't : : tried this variable alone) (as predator or marine) : : set flare_damage_radius (>0) -> seems to work, but it : : enhances health, it doesn't take any away. (predator or marine) : : Setup = : : 2.2.0pre-7 : : glibc-rhl5.2 base : : : : I saw funky stuff with chaos cause it was linked against : : libc5, just had to make sure the ld.so.conf was correct : : and it found the stuff it needed, but your mod is statically : : linked, so it doesn't seem like that could be a problem. : Ummm, this is my fault. I did it. I confess. : Originally, I intended the flares to do damage when they directly hit someone. : Also, the flares would "die" when shot, etc. However, these ideas weren't very : popular so they were dropped. I left the server variables in the code "just in case". : BatMax and I will discuss the flare behavior and decide if it's worth doing anything : about it. The server variables will probably be removed in the next release. : Sorry for the confusion. : : BTW - this mod is the fave of the office, we played chaos : : for a long while before this and thought nothing could touch : : it. This did, and we all thank you for the hard work. : Thanks. Actually, it's not hard work at all. BatMax and I probably have more fun : programming the mod than actually playing (and we have a LOT of fun playing). :^} : : One more thing, could you give a server variable for the : : predator skin so we can set one without having to wait : : for the new one? I like the tyrant, he's got a plenty : : different outline. : Well, we're looking at a "standard" predator model and skin ourselves. However, I see : no reason why server admins can't pick their own. BatMax, BatCat, and I will discuss it : and see what's to be done. : Truthfully, no matter what we do, there will probably be a server variable to set these : things. You've seen that I believe in server variables. :^}. : Actually, it's just that I don't believe in having to re-edit the code just to : change something trivial like a skin or model. : Look for something in the upcoming 1.5 release. : /bruce
