Is there a way to completely disable player collision for survivors? Notice how when you stand inside a teammate it pushes them to the side? This can be annoying if teammates are trying to walk through the same doorway or across a little pathway. Also when you shoot at a teammate their screen shakes and makes it difficult to aim. This is the most frustrating part of it in my opinion. People think they are helping by shooting at their teammates since there is no team damage, but the screen shaking is similar to being boomed and it's pretty annoying.

 

I tried doing some research and found these commands but I don't have a server to try them out on.

I tried on a local server with sv_cheats but I don't know how to change Cvars.

 

 

Maybe someone here knows.

 

collision_shake_amp

collision_shake_freq

collision_shake_time

phys2_hack_ignore_level_collision

phys2_ragdoll_self_collision

ragdoll_collide

ragdoll_self_collision

sv_bounce

vcollide_wireframe

 

I don't know if any of those would fix it, but thought I would just bring it up.

You know what? That's a good idea you got there.

 

That way, you won't have teammates messing up your aim with the screen shaking while they're shooting through you. Maybe then, you'll be able to clear the Special Infected faster than your teammates can. It's crazy how the teammate shooting through you does the damage on the SI, but not you that's doing most of the blasting on your target. It'd be nice if the screen didn't shake when you're being shot at, and if the aim wasn't being affected by your own teammate.

 

I'm glad you mentioned the push-back effect when your teammates are walking through you and around you. There's nothing like crossing that small wooden plank in the 2nd chapter of the Passing with the rest of your team, but then you fall off because a fat teammate of yours pushed you off. It's a "neat" little touch by the game developers. If it were to be removed, I would sure as hell "miss" it. After all, it's not like it's an annoying feature or anything like that (Note: It is).

 

You know what? 

You should use laser first.

Time to bring this back (makes no sense - but it is about Peanut)

 

Last night Peanut was sitting in his armchair rocking away thinking about the numerous times hes been killed by the infected especially those damn jockeys when suddenly .... Elias showed up from now where and pounced him with a hunter .... hurting and still rocking in armchair ... peanut screamed "oh my Elias please let this not be the end" .... and then a tank (most likely controled by one of the aforementione ladies) punched the armchair from behind, sending both peanut and elias flying several yards away towards...  Santa Claus who came tumbling down his chimney! Oh yes, he is real indeed. Peanut suddenly rushed to Santa so he can sit on his lap. Santa Claus asked Peanut what he wanted for Christmas. That's when Peanut answered.... (Liv cringed while she/he watched the hit) ... But he was not Santa Claus he was, Santa Maestro! He looked a bit smokey, hard to say that was from coming down the chimney or he was smoking his way down. Peanut then looks up to him and makes his wish to Santa, Santa upon hearing the wish replies, that is an impossible wish young peanut, for you were born to get jockeyed..... and be a DiXie boomed.  "Well," said Peanut, "that could have been ALOT worse".  However, ...... while Elias, Santa Maestro and Carlos were discussing when L4D3 is going to be released ... Santa Maestro brings the story back on track by raging back up the chimney when all of a sudden ...

and they lived happily  ever after.

-              The End              -

For the record, I have been asked to demo and view many top players such as Elite, Elias, General, Yortz,  and more.  I have spent dozens of hours playing oddly to record and track stuff.  Using some tools we have.   In the end, I have defended almost 99% of the players here.  So the general rule of thumb is, you are innocent till proven guilty by our admin group.    I also appreciate your effort on this topic an community and while I understand why you are doing this, I would just wait now till Peanut reviews with his peers as a final review.  

It can stay here for now since Peanut did not move it.  

95% chance I will be there, but Dixie is in charge (so anything goes wrong, its her fault)

 

I would really like to play Pathing and VIP on Passing.  I cant really remember playing it on there.

We have tried to bring in fun ideas, admins vs members, custom maps, Jackie pathing, VIP mode, the kill peanut contest, etc.  The idea is to bring in some new things, have some fun.  I have a bunch of other ideas, but time has been a problem lately.  I think I can help get some of these going again though, as summer is approaching.

 

I keep thinking about the tournament idea.  There are some problems that keeps making me put it off.  We had interest enough for 4 teams and I have all the rules figured out.  But, with 4 teams, if each team plays each other 1 time, plus a final game for everyone, that would be 8 games.  If we did 2 games per night, that is 4 nights.  When I looked at the data from everyone, including which nights people said they could play, very few people can play any night (Friday, Saturday or sunday).  Almost everyone had indicated that they could not play on one or two of the nights.  So if I pick Sunday nights, for example, that knocks a percentage of people out.  It also means, that we all have to commit to playing every Sunday night for four weeks.  It is just not easy to get so many players, plus Jackie, Crash, me to commit to that.   My availability is better now, so if you guys want me to just go ahead and set this up, I can do it. 

 

Other ideas I had (or other people mentioned to me):

US vs International team for one night game (I like this idea, would be easy to do I think)

Male vs Female Match

Pick up games - at beginning of campaign, choose two captains, and alternate them picking people (just mix up how we do teams a bit)

Contests - prizes for things like point farmer or whatever, for a specific campaign or night or time frame

 

Let me know what you guys think, I can try to help these things move. 

dead admins screenshot competition

whats sad is no one will send points even if you type it out, or theyll be biased and send to only their favorite person leaving others to die

a person,who only needs 1 point; the second one, who needs 15.

which one will you choose ?

The only thing that you can do is trying to be friend with them/ be good at the game. 

 

I will always send points to incapped players if they type it and I have enough. Even if I don't have enough I will usually send them all I have. 

 

such a liar, pffft.  lol 

 

P.S. Small rant: If you have a substantial amount of hours (10,000+) played on this server, and still ask for points on mic instead of chat or not at all, you need to really implement the solution to this problem.

No one played (10,000+) hours on this server, so everyone can still ask for points on mic.  

oops, maybe... there's 1-2 ? I'm not sure.  lol 

Currently I'm working on getting my new computer up and running (already half of the parts have shipped ). But after nearly 500 hours of l4d2 on a mac laptop and lots of other games my laptop is kinda breaking and heats up randomly so I haven't been playing nearly as much. I still need this laptop for academics .

the mac will heat up randomly, seriously ?  

I don't believe Tatsuya is Malo

 

It was a fun contest for all, except me of course.  Please thank Merc too, he was actually the one behind all this.

 

We are working on more ideas....

idea: protect peanut to get into safe room.  

I will try to be on a lot on Saturday, to give everyone an opportunity to beat the evil Tainted

How about you try to be on a lot & ban Tainted on Saturday? muahaha 

Are you going to make an anti-eco soon?

Aww I can't do this because killing Jelly hurts my heart : (. Can there be one for people who save and join the game for jelly? haha

Tainted will be the one, who save and join the game for peanut.  good idea?  

question: can we get extra points for killing our favorite admin ?
