TheDude October 13, 2012 Share TheDude Member October 13, 2012 Meh, Tanks are already frustrating to play with that stupid slowdown garbage...thanks Valve. I like this change, but it also means the only thing bots are good at has now been removed. Who would have though they could become even more useless.

Soap October 13, 2012 Share Soap Member October 13, 2012 (edited) Update: -Made it so Tanks aren't slowed by gunfire anymore. LOL jackie look at you! Left for Dead 2 is almost completely different on GC than anywhere else! Its like a mod of half life practically. I played with some buddies last night on the xbox for all the cold stream dlc and the game was hard to learn again, not having flying ghosts is HARD and the amount of restricted areas in the original for infected was like a nightmare Edited October 13, 2012 by fxsoap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieChan October 17, 2012 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni October 17, 2012 Introducing Assist Points for Survivors Tired of doing damage to a Special Infected player, but not getting any credit if someone steals your kill? Not anymore. Your points will now be in a xx.xx format. Assist points are based on how much damage you do against a Special Infected player, so if you deal 85% damage to a SI, you get 0.85 points for it (think BF3). Example (damage was done to a Smoker): Untested - Sending/Requesting a 0.xx point value to another player. It should work, so let me know if it doesn't...although I don't know why you would want to...although I hope it just returns a "Wait...what?" error.

And when I played dead center, start of the game, charged one person, saw my points were over 1million. I promptly bought a Tank, was slayed....and had -60 points (biggs saved the day!)

JackieChan October 18, 2012 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni October 18, 2012 Well, I've been trying to throw out hotfixes for bugs like that all night yesterday. For some reason, assist points only work if the infected player is a bot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasx October 19, 2012 Share crasx GC Alumni October 19, 2012 admin request! sm_forcevotescramble -> make it force scramle ppm? or add another command to do this same with sm_scrambleteams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs October 19, 2012 Share Biggs GC Alumni October 19, 2012 I believe the ppm shuffle not working properly is why !votescramble wasn't working, so... yea, it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky October 19, 2012 Share Sky Member October 19, 2012 If you're seeing "You receive 128356109657 points" it's due to the floating-point conversion. See, jackie has switched points to float value ; I'm assuming you're using %2.2f as the conversion factor in the menu. You see the odd number in chat, since he accidentally has it say "You receive %d points", floatVariable. He simply needs to change the variable in the code from %d to %2.2f (or however else you want to display the floating point) and it will correct that issue. It's probably why there are issues else-where; probably just forgot to change the variable representation in the code. And, thank-you for putting this on the server. Glad my cries didn't go unheard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan October 19, 2012 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni October 19, 2012 I dunno...Maybe I figured it out? I have assist points outputting to a log so I'll see if people are getting any or not. Also, let me know if you guys are still getting weird point values that are unfamiliar. Copy the entire line so I can find it in the plugin easier, but I think I got them all. *edit Looks like assist points work now judging from the logs. Oct 19 |05:56:22| 2012: 'Blade' got 0.30 assist points by killing MaestroPG.gcOct 19 |06:25:19| 2012: 'General' got 0.94 assist points by killing Blade Oct 19 |06:29:54| 2012: 'General' got 0.51 assist points by killing BOT-(1)Hunter Don't know why I have it say "by killing " because they're assisting in the kill, not actually killing....whatever. I know what it means and that's all I care about. Still trying to work out any kinks that I see from the logs as well. If there are any irregularities, I'll see them. ...Some item price inflating may need to happen too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinkadeus October 19, 2012 Share Cinkadeus Member October 19, 2012 Jeebus... Does General really need to be included in this? Can't there be an exclusion for him? He already gets 2 points every time he kills a SI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan October 19, 2012 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni October 19, 2012 I just took random ones to show that it was working. Also, I should document the changes I did. Update: -Assist Points now work -You get points for Pummeling a Survivor again -Made it so if you're on the "Confirm" menu when buying an Auto-Heal, but drop below 600 heath, it will buy a Full Heal instead.

ctrlfrk October 31, 2012 Share ctrlfrk Member October 31, 2012 Now that the assist points have been in for a while: Do you have stats on how many extra points the S team earns over the course of a round due to the extras? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs October 31, 2012 Share Biggs GC Alumni October 31, 2012 Now that the assist points have been in for a while: Do you have stats on how many extra points the S team earns over the course of a round due to the extras? It would be good to look at that kind of statistic to see if any re-balancing seems appropriate. Jackie had mentioned earlier that costs may need to be inflated.

JackieChan November 19, 2012 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni November 19, 2012 Update: -If an infected player suicides, the survivor players who do damage to them will get assist points -Axed some useless code -Hopefully it will announce who was defibbed properly (NO this will not fix the defib bugs though) -Enabled "l4d2_points_infectionheal_disable". I can't believe I never had it enabled after all this time =\ -Prevented infected ghosts from buying a heal. Also can't believe I never noticed this either Future ideas: -Assist Points achievement -3rd tier common/special infected achievements for Survivors 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
