Team Portress 2 - Games - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=Daimao;21910480]I highly doubt they can implement all that intensive client-side rendering on the server to be honest. :v:[/QUOTE] bingo, that's pretty much why you can't look through every portal as for a "teleporter with pretty particle effects", isn't that basically what a portal is?

[QUOTE=Daimao;21910195]So it's just a teleporter with some pretty particles? I was kinda hoping for the whole hot Portal see-through action, but that's kinda dissapointing.[/QUOTE] Would lag like fuck on a 32 player spamfest.

I love 3-PG servers. They are so creative.

This is so kickass.

[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;21910887]Valve made it so any custom entities attached to players are not visible. derp [editline]08:38PM[/editline] And if you want to know how it's relevant to the portal mod, look in the video's description. They actually had to use a server plug-in to get around Valve's shit patch.[/QUOTE] That doesn't affect this mod...

[QUOTE=geel9;21912961]That doesn't affect this mod...[/QUOTE] Yes it does. It affects any custom item attached to a player - that includes modified weapons. That's why pyro dodgeball is/was broken.

This+Engie Oh yeah, roof sentries

Aesome Edit: So AWESOME I SPELT IT WRON

Any idea if we'll eventually be able to shoot through them?

The full story is that the modder for the 3PG community (Pawn) had been working on this since the day Portal 2 was announced and didn't intend on letting anybody know until it was much further along. However, valve put a policy in place last month that bans custom items from being given to players, in an effort to stop servers from giving people valve made hats. He was ready to scrap the whole thing until we found a temporary hack to bypass the ban and now he just wants to show off what he has done while he still can. I have heard rumors that valve has as of last night started reversing this policy, so now we can get back to work polishing this thing up for a full public release. From the way Pawn talks I assume the full version will be exclusive for a month or so then released publicly. A few things that I don't believe are mentioned in the video: -The portals can be destroyed by shooting them, so if the enemy is doing something like setting up a portal between the two flag rooms you can just shoot the portals and shatter them. The current HP is about that of a sentry but it can changed to make it fair. -The gun physically replaces the secondary weapon for the classes that get them. The medic and spy don't get them as the game treats the medigun and the diguise kit as their respective secondaries. -The third person view in the video is just for demonstration to show that it is indeed in TF2. -It is apparently possible to add textures that are immune to portals in the map editor, so a map made specifically for the mod would hopefully be grief proof. -The intention is to make this a whole new game mode with its own unique maps designed around the new gameplay. -At this point the early alpha version shown in the video is only available on our secret internal test server. I would rather open the test server up to the public, but the others prefer not to let most people use it until it is further along.

I would love to join the server if it wasn't for the 100% criticals. Also, why are you afraid to let us get the IP? do you think we will trash the server or something?

I believe Pawn would like to have the mod a bit more presentable and work out some of the bugs before unpasswording the test server. And about the 100% crits, we also lowered the damage on every weapon to make things more manageable. The idea is to roughly double the speed of gameplay and make every class equally overpowered.

as he said its in ALPHA as in its not ready for release, there may be bugs in it that could cause major repercussions.

Wasn't this posted like 2 times before?

This looks like those shitty Gmod 9 portal guns.

[QUOTE=Urog;21910938] as for a "teleporter with pretty particle effects", isn't that basically what a portal is?[/QUOTE] Well, except for the fact that you can shoot through a Portal, throw physics objects through them, see through them and walk smoothly through them as if they were a door opening, then yeah.

easy 2fort captures?

Turbine raping?

[QUOTE=Inacio;21920016]oh wow that game looks cool is it a tf2 mod/[/QUOTE] It's TFC, dummy.

[QUOTE=IceWolfSV;21919124]Wasn't this posted like 2 times before?[/QUOTE] No it wasn't. I'm pretty sure I was the first to post this.

Not sure what to think. It is awesome but i guess it will be fun for a while in game.

Looks interesting, but feels like pre-alpha.

Public test this weekend! Anybody that wants to come is welcome! First come first serve, as we'll only be doing this on one server. See our steam group for details.

IP?

The IP and password will be given out on the teamspeak server when we start the test. We are doing this to try to maintain some control and preempt griefing.

I hope this becomes a stable gamemode soon.

[QUOTE=xpod1;21908791]For a second I thought this was a mod by Sparkwire where all the weapons were ported from other games.[/QUOTE] DAMMIT. That's what I was gonna say...
