[Old thread] Chaos Generator Upgraded Ver. M

[Gumballtoid]

Contrary to what some may believe, constantly having one's orientation thrown off by the infernal shaking is less fun than it is infuriating. The same goes for Lock On Autoaim.

Yeah, I get that chaos is the name of the game here, but it's a fine example of an effect that draws far too much focus from the game for the very sake of being chaotic. More tame effects, like Icy Terrain or Thin Air, still give the player some semblance of control; there is room to adjust to the conditions, or even use them to one's advantage.

Gonna check it out! 

Be my guest!
Just don't play it in Last Man Standing or Team Last Man Standing. It doesn't work there.

Updated the OP.

[Xhatahx]

Can you please add "-beta-hotfix" onto the topic name? Because that's what it is, and what I typed onto the end of the file.
I was waiting for MM8BDM v5b to happen and I decided "Why not give them an early gift?"

Also...

How to run
Simply add chaosgenerator-2_upgraded_vJ.wad. That's it!

You might want to update that.

[Beed28]

Can't believe I missed that.

[Xhatahx]

Another error I just noticed...

So I decided to tweek and add more and more features

So you're a South Park fan?
Can't believe I missed that.
Since 2012.

EDIT: You remember the effect disabling poll I set up? The reason I picked Weebly to host that poll is because I can see the IP addresses, and see if someone voted twice. I can also see from where the IP addresses are from(I promise I'll keep the addresses a secret), which is kinda interesting. There are 3 from the USA, one from France, one from the UK, one from Mexico, and one from Poland. Kinda neat seeing it's not just English speaking countries.

The voting results aren't interesting however: Lock on Autoaiming is still disabled, and all other effects remain enabled. The poll is still going in case more people want to chip in.

[Beed28]

It was a typo, actually. I never watch South Park.

[Xhatahx]

That was a joke.

Another error I just noticed...

This is an interesting conversation.

EDIT: Hey, might as well. It's just a beta.

Changes in Ver. K-beta-hotfix-2(what a long file name)

(click to show/hide)

+ Added a selection reset to the Rock Force New Base Weapon section.
* Blocked off the Rock Force New Base Weapon section if you're just playing the mappack.
* EDDIE STORM: Fixed a bug that called Script 811 for no reason.
* DARK LIGHTING: Now fades in and out so software users can navigate some levels(e.g. MMWTMWS)
* FALL DAMAGE, IRON FEET: These effects are now also disabled on certain CTF and Rock Force maps.
* IRON FEET: Will now be triggered on MMCTF18 and MMRFSHO, so you don't suddenly die in these levels.

Hey, can somebody please help me with downloading Chaos Generator? I'm still having issues downloading it. SmartScreen isn't working, and I just can't find any means to download it from Weebly...Can someone send it to me via email? thanks...

[ServantofCygnus]

Well, time for me to ask this already.

As it stands, loading any CBM version with Chaos Generator has two effects depending on wad order: either no Chaos Generator effects work at all, or the game spam-spawns Eddies quickly enough to crash any server or client at will.

is CBM compatibility potentially a thing eventually? That would require the removal of new base weapon effects and probably other effects to work - be it from the entire wad, or only when a CBM version is loaded, I don't know - but it'd be nice to know if it is a thing planned or not.

* DARK LIGHTING: Now fades in and out

Do I sense a SHR++ similarity

Hello there. Um, this is a minor nitpick, but I have a suggestion:
You know how Roll is supposed to talk to you in CHAOSHUB? As we all know, it's invisible in Multiplayer. This is because the Log command is run by the server, making clients unable to see the message.
However, this can be rectified really easily. To make Log messages visible in a server, the Log command itself has to be run by a script type CLIENTSIDE.

Code: [Select]

Script <insert number> (arguments) CLIENTSIDEThat way, the command will be run by the client, making clients able to see the message. Thanks in advance for taking time to read this.

is CBM compatibility potentially a thing eventually?

No. MMRF was simple to adapt my wad to. CBM, on the other hand, is so ridiculously complicated that I could probably spend an entire week modifying my wad without any progress.

Do I sense a SHR++ similarity

Just a coincidence.

Originally, I thought this was a screen problem when it came up here.
Anyway, fixed.
