Major Update Speculation Thread V3: Tonight's the Night, forever and always - Games

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36347795]You can't do that with the schema.[/QUOTE] Yes you can FAN as it is now [quote] "clip size penalty" { "attribute_class" "mult_clipsize" "value" "0.4" } [/quote] FAN changed to show the actual amount [quote] "clip size penalty" { "attribute_class" "mult_clipsize" "value" "0.34" } [/quote]

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36347611] - Third Degree now vaporizes enemies like the Phlog and Manmelter. [/QUOTE] Why?

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36347848]Why?[/QUOTE] because its awesome.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36347848]Why?[/QUOTE] looks cool

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36347848]Why?[/QUOTE] Looks cool, synergy with the entire set, and because it's a hot coil weapon named the "Third Degree" and it has nothing fire related about it, so this at least shows the coil is actually hot.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36347790]Okay also btw when I said I was testing it, I meant you :)[/QUOTE] Honestly, the only reason that anything would not work when tested would be if the attributes only accepted a certain set of values instead of accepting floating points. The game engine takes care of the rounding automatically, regardless of the numbers you punch into it -- or at least it should be that way. If it's not, then that's just clunky and unintuitive.

This time I'm staying very conservative with sounds, and I'm going to check to make sure there's no issues like the Overdose. However, seeing as these are all re-used sounds, this shouldn't be the same problem. Basically finally fixing all those old melees they never got around to fixing but have hilariously off sounds, like the Pain Train. Also everyone loved that Headtaker sound thing, which might cause the Overdose cache issue, but... well, this is too good of sounds to pass up. This time too I'm explaining EVERYTHING along the way, so there's no misunderstandings like last time (Valve got confused with the Pith helmets and also thought the Stahelm was the Medic item)

And just an FYI, I was addressing the attribute rounding thing -- there really should not be any necessity to test out basic rounding unless the game is coded in a really backwards manner.

yea, but I don't want the game rounding it off or showing the attribute wrong. It's something I know custom schema's allow (sounds is not one of those things). I'll just have to tell them to pre-cache the Headtaker sounds.

I think Payday needs more love.

Is it possible to add a more "unique" death effect for being telefragged?

I just realized that psychopath's posting from a Wii. Oh shit this isn't related to updates uh... Lego!

Ugh... valve employees are sadistic in their subtlety/ambiguity...

"Soon" in February and it's June :(

Back from my last day in grade 11. Did I miss anything?

[QUOTE=-=NARH=-;36348224]Back from my last day in grade 11. Did I miss anything?[/QUOTE] scarabix got wasted again and got another notch on his bansword, I think he's like 35+ now nothing happened yesterday nothing happened today ned started talking about his community schema which will probably never be used since Valve doesn't like fixing things uh yeah that's about it

[QUOTE=-=NARH=-;36348224]Back from my last day in grade 11. Did I miss anything?[/QUOTE] Last day in grade 11? But it's the middle of the year, what's goin' on 'ere?

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36348254] ned started talking about his community schema which will probably never be used since Valve doesn't like fixing things[/QUOTE] they implemented the last one :o

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36348300]they implemented the last one :o[/QUOTE] yeah back when drunken f00l was actively posting here and you could just leave schema code in this thread after an update and it'd magically get in

[QUOTE=Mr. Magoolachub;36348257]Last day in grade 11? But it's the middle of the year, what's goin' on 'ere?[/QUOTE] What? School ends for summer and resumes around september

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36348336]What? School ends for summer and resumes around september[/QUOTE] Not over here it doesn't, over here year x ends at, you guessed it, the -end- of the year.

[QUOTE=Mr. Magoolachub;36348352]Not over here it doesn't, over here year x ends at, you guessed it, the -end- of the year.[/QUOTE] Years=/=School years.

why would you want the winter off? That's like the worst time of the year to be free to do whatever you want. [QUOTE=The Calzone;36348312]yeah back when drunken f00l was actively posting here and you could just leave schema code in this thread after an update and it'd magically get in[/QUOTE] But just a few weeks ago someone from here emailed them about unused particles for the Manmelter, and 24 hours it was implemented.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36348368]why would you want the winter off? That's like the worst time of the year to be free to do whatever you want.[/QUOTE] Over here Summer is also Winter Ned. [b]Edit:[/b] Do you guys at least do the 4 terms thing with small breaks in between each and a big break only from 4-1?

From primary to high school we have school in starting in Septemeber, 2 weeks off in December, a week in March, and it ends in June. University is similar but ends in April.

University is 2 semesters with large breaks in between and a 1-2 week recess within each. [b]Edit:[/b] oh, I didn't answer your question, Australia.

[QUOTE=01271;36348023]I just realized that psychopath's posting from a Wii. Oh shit this isn't related to updates uh... Lego![/QUOTE] I'm not able to access my computer at all for reasons that I'd rather not disclose. It's either this or going to the public library so I can have the leisure of using IE6 in a monitored environment. At least with a Wii I have some privacy since it's in my room. I miss tabbed browsing, and using a mouse, and being able to copy/paste, and being able to hit Enter to go to a web address after entering it, and not getting memory errors whenever there are 4 youtube videos in [video] tags on the same page [sp]please stop doing this, I like being able to read the thread without having to wait an hour until the next page starts[/sp] This was incredibly painful to type with a Wiimote. To boot, I only get a small bit of space to see what I'm typing, the rest of the screen is keyboard.
