CRD Beta Testers In Need!

[Alex]

Hello there.

I have finished a beta version of CRDBugFix1b3 and before I can make that public, I need it to be tested by server hosters.
If you are interested, post here, PM me, or mail me at admin@mafiawar.biz.

If you don't know what CRD is: http://www.dxalpha.com/carandache/

[Dae]

What are the changes?

[Alex]

Firespeed bug fixed
Possibly medkit gpf
And some fun stuff:
Say Commands
Color in Names & Text (Deactivatable by host)
Ingame unbanning (Thanks to Nobody)
Counting how often a map is played
EDIT: AutoBalance

[Dae]

Wow Good work.

What about auto balance - what is its algorythm?

[jesus]

AutoBalance

??? explain plz

[Alex]

First it checks which team has the most players, the other team gets the new player.
If those are equal, it looks at the score's, if those are equal aswell, it just places them on one of the 2 teams.
AutoBalance = Fair teams

[Dae]

When it's called? (on the player respawn or on the player entering the server)

Is score like 70 - 69 equal for it? Because actually it is.

it just places them on one of the 2 teams.

Randomly?

When entering the server.
And 70 - 69 isn't equal. And no, not randomly, just places it on 1 certain team, which should not matter, since the next person joining, will join the other team.

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

well, but 69 could be mathematically rounded to 70

[Dae]

Well I think it's not necessary to add variation anyway.

[Alex]

well, but 69 could be mathematically rounded to 70

OH SHUT IT

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

Nah, YOU NEVA KNOW!

just in case you still need it..
The corrct mathematical function for rounding!

Code: Select all

// Made by ~[A]Nobody~ (Meh!)
function int Round(int A)
{
    if((A % 10) < 5)
      return A-(A % 10);
    else
      return A+(10-(A % 10));
}

[Kaiden]

I intended to get this, but never got around to it. Sure I'll put it on my server and post feedback here

}

Code: Select all

// Made by ~[A]lex~ (Moi!)
function Tick(float deltaTime)
{
  local Nobody _Nobody;
  foreach AllActors( class 'Nobody',_Nobody)
  {
    Nobody.gotoState('Deactivated');
  }
}

  }
}

Lag-code alert! Sound the alarms! None shall survive the laggyness of this code!!!

(Is class Nobody a Pawn perchance)?

[Alex]

Not lag alert Tick > All

And I already found 2 bugs, thanks to Ste! Thanks!
EDIT: Fixed those 2 bugs

[Dae]

Send meh teh mod.

[Alex]

Get on teh msn.

[Alex]

~Double Post:
Added a new function: You can now switch gametype's (The CRD one's) while ingame!

[synthetic]

Gametype switch is sweet, using the commands is a pain in the ass sometimes.

We'll get it for our server soon, great work =)

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

No,
you cannot change gametypes without reloading

[synthetic]

i guessed as much, it is still much better than to try and remember the filenames youve binded one or other gametype to.. and i had to ask alex for the commands in the first place :/

[Ste]

Wont run in the server properly sigh.......replaced my SP ini with my MP ini and got it workin ok

[synthetic]

include some sort of read-me this time, too, if you havent done so already. You didnt mention installing that mod at all in the readme of previous release, and I found nothing from your site aswell. Chaos got it to work somehow.

Do you mean you eventually got the mod working ok?

There was a readme included. PLUS install:
//================================================================================
// Installation
//
// The installation of this mod is quite easy, when you read this carefully
// This mod has a whole new gametype, since Deus Ex isn't designed for
// New gametype's, we need to be a little hacky here.
// Included in the .zip is a .bat file.
// We will be using this file to start our server!
// When you put all the files of the .zip into your System folder
// And execute the CRDBugFix1b2.bat file, it will launch a server with
// CRDTeam as gametype. All settings must be changed in DeusEx.ini
// You can also use other gametype's:
// CRDAdvTeam (2000 skills at start, 2000 per kill, 2 augs at start, 2 per kill, skill level: beginner)
// CRDBasicTeam (Full skills, 9 augs)
// CRDDeathMatch (Own configurable settings, but deathmatch)
//
// You can edit the .bat file with Notepad/Wordpad.
// You can also add mutators, but if you want help with that, just go to
// http://www.dxalpha.com/carandache/
//================================================================================

[Ste]

No its didnt work without changing every1s netspeed to 33.3kbps connection

[Alex]

Well, it's not because of CRDBugFix1b3, but because of your server. FGS has CRDBugFix1b3 installed aswell, and my connection stays in TI/Lan(20000)

[synthetic]

// And execute the CRDBugFix1b2.bat file, it will launch a server with
// CRDTeam as gametype. All settings must be changed in DeusEx.ini

'All settings must be changed' seems to refer to something I must edit in DX.ini, yet it does not say what. Now I assume the .bat file was supposed to make the changes?


And in our case it didnt work as we couldnt upload or create a bat file for our remote server through ftp protocol so..

I think it was sorted by sending the bat to host through msn.

[Kaiden]

Hmm, Well the link didn't work right Alex? I couldn't see any spelling errors, perhaps the link was just wrong.. Anyway, when I try and run theCRDBugFix1b2 it always puts it on Smuggler, I will work out why though

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

possibly the bat file causes this, since it defines, which map will be loaded
