[Old thread] Chaos Generator Upgraded Ver. M

[Beed28]

Alright, Xhatahx. Here's the thing. I can fix the Jelly World effect so that entire maps can start bouncing properly again. There's just two caveats, though:

- Every core map will need to be replaced to allow it to work.
- The mod will need to be converted from a .wad structure to a .pk3 structure once I'm done.

It might take me a few days because there's so many maps.

[Xhatahx]

What an offer. But my response is...

No. Because:
-It's overkill; like killing a fly using Astro Crush.
-I wouldn't want you to be drowning under the work.
-I wouldn't want you/myself to be doing the tiresome task of updating the maps when v5b or any future version comes.
-I think you pronounced my name wrong.

There are three viable solutions for the Jelly World deal:
-Removing Jelly World(most likely )
-Keeping it(don't recommend it)
-Get Zandronum to re-add the sector tag trick for Version 3, as The Cutmeister will use that version for v5b(unlikely)

[Beed28]

Ah well. I'll probably release the changed maps separately then, or probably not.

R.I.P. Jelly World.

SEMI IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Should I put Jelly World down?
Vote here.

Note: At 22:32:14 to 22:34:17, I was called a wanker about once every 8 seconds. Those 15 votes are, of the time of this writing, about 40% of all votes.

I don't know about you, but that sounds really fucking suspicious.

[Beed28]

By the way, just a note (possible MM8BDMv5 spoiler warning):

You're missing Solar Blaze for a selectable New Base Weapon. How about hiding it somewhere in the hub?

VOTING IS OVER!

I should've scrapped that voting system and gotten Beed to make a poll a loooong time ago, cause I suspect double(or more) voting. The votes are:
21 votes in favor of keeping Jelly World
20 votes in favor of removing Jelly World
6 voted "other".

But that's "at the surface" the of votes. However, recall that in my last post I had a note, saying that 15 "no" votes came in a mere 2 minutes. There were no "yes" votes in that time, and it happened one and a half hour after the poll started. That's fucking suspicious.

I disclude 14 of those votes(I don't want to completely silence him). Now the votes are:
7 votes in favor of keeping Jelly World
20 votes in favor of keeping Jelly World
6 voted "other"

This feels a little cheaty, however. But even if all the "other" votes counted as no, the poll would still be 13 v 20 in favour of removal.

My decision is finalized: A recount is in order. As far as you know, I pulled these numbers out of my ass. And I just realized having a third choice(only select Jelly World in the hub) might be a good compromize. But with the in-built poll system of the forum, everyone can see each others votes and you can't vote more than once.
(Fun fact: I originally considered hosting the poll on Weebly because it saved the voter's IP adress as well. But I was on my phone and I couldn't get it to work.)

Straw Poll is handy for things like this.

Also, if I may make a suggestion: make any player that is not the master partially transparent. When there are lots of players in the server, it can be difficult for the master to get their bearings.

[Beed28]

I'm not sure how I can set up a poll here. I'm not seeing an option. But then again, I haven't set up any polls since the forum moved software. I've asked a question about it in the "Cutstuff Discussion and Feedback" section, just need to wait for a reply.

[Xhatahx]

I've made a new poll for voting on Jelly World:
Vote here

Special thanks to Gumballtoid for pointing out Straw Poll.

With the change to Centaur Flash, any chance of that being re-enabled as a possible Base Weapon?

[Xhatahx]

No. Because Centaur Flash is an area of effect weapon, the invisibility provided is useless against itself. So essentially, we have a quicker but weaker Rain Flush on our hands. Not something very useful.

When's Reggae Storm
or even
CAT-ACLYSM (Tango Storm)
:^)

[Xhatahx]

Reggae Storm would be just plain cheap. Teleport-teleport-teleport-teleport-back to square one.
Cat-aclysm? Hmmm... It might work. At the very least, I'm borrowing that pun.
