Whew! Where to begin?
Mmkay,
1st off, using the term 'Sir' is an attempt to be civil, and show respect. It should be taken that way whether you wear a bra or not. I tend to use the term if I don't know you, or if I have respect for you. However, it comes and goes with my moods, so stick around, and I might call you 'homie' or 'biaotch' or some other crap as well.
And yes, of course I care what I write.
2ndly, the last time I remember testing it, you could get the sword to show up w/o the main mutator loaded, and you could even kill with it. But, the 'blocking' function did not work at all, there were no sounds and no actual blocking, and also no gore would appear on the blade. In my mind, that's not 'working', but if it blows your skirt up, then enjoy!
I don't even have a Beta4 install on my machine right now, or I would go check. And, I'm not even sure if I tried to run it like that after Joe and Fred were done monkeying with Beta4, so it's entirely possible it will work w/o the main mutator. There are so many things to check, it's easy to miss something like that, especially since it's not any type of bug. Oh, and BTW, the next release will handle those arena muts differently, thanks to a great idea from Jb.
"No Health and grapple only work, and they even say in the manual in your post below that they work without the mutator"
Yes, I know. And I said that I'd like to see it removed.
And if the grapple is a problem in a gametype you want to play, like JailBreak, just turn it off in the configs. Neat little menu option has been provided just for that.
I too like the idea of people getting whatever they want, as long as I get what I want too!
What I want is humans playing Chaos on public servers. If there were crowded servers for me to play on, I'd say give them whatever they want, I would not care. However, spending the past year or so with only a handful of players ( for the most part ), I now feel that if people want something Chaos has to offer, then they need to come and play Chaos. It is my belief that if you break it up like that, there will not be anybody playing Chaos. So we disagree, so be it.
Switch, hello! Yes sir, you did hear about that, but with such a small team, and the existence of StuffSwapper, it has never made it to top priority. This might sound familar too, but if you know anybody who knows code, and knows Chaos, send them over.
Strangelove is one of my favorite ways to play Chaos. Great fun. Especially with Carry the Flag,
and my beloved grapple.
I prolly forgot to reply to something. Must not have been interesting enough if I did. hehe
Oh yeah, there was one thing. Please, please stop playing Face! My gawd! Never seen such a bad, boring map get so much play. Even if it's space-platform-type maps you want, I can probably name at least 10 that are better. And of course there's ton's of 'non-space' maps that work beautifuly with SLV2 and Chaos. ( Faces of Pharoahs, AnthonyB'sDomain, Templar, Project X, Project X2, Shader, Facing Gods, Purple Flame. And those are all CTF. And theres plenty more. )
But regardless, thanks for the discussion. Love talkin' gaming.
* MassChaos, thanks for looking at the HTML thing. And like I said, it's not any big deal, I'm more than happy to wait until someday when you've got some more time on your hands.
** Oh and, Mayhem, Mr. Moo, 'black knight of Chaos' huh? hehe Well, get on a server once in awhile and you can call me anything you want.
"Tis but a scratch!"
heh...
im one o dem medieval types. get it from The Voiceshrine
