[Old thread] Chaos Generator Upgraded Ver. M

[TheDoc]

While we're on the topic of over-the-top chaos effects.

Lock-on AutoAiming. FUCK.

There's great chaotic effects that every1 loves (eddie storm), there's annoying, yet funny effects (come on, it's hilarious to watch people struggle with reversed controls, despite the trouble you're having with it), and then there's effects that just stomp fun into the dust. Lock-on AA is an example of this. I can't even move without the game locking me onto another player. Because of this, I can't heal, I can't aim, I can't pick up weapons, hell I can't even tell where I'm fucking going half the time.

Nobody ever plays Chaos Generator online anymore... and because of that, I never get any real feedback on it.

you want feedback?
you got it.

ok, its pretty cool, its fun to play with CSCC and saxton hale, but one thing i dont like is that i keep getting the same stuff. like 1/2 damage, 2x speed, vampirism, or jelly world. but here are some things you could improve on.

-remove the hub map. its useless, just keep the stuff end up being randomly chosen.
(thats about it)

here are some ideas for new 'modes'.

-Servbot apocalypse
servbots are randomly spawned around the map. but they run around the map with high speed. but they are destructable. defeating servbots can come with rewards, like health or ammo.

-slender...
just like the hale, except you can find 8 pages. which are destructable. by destroying these eight pages, slenderman runs away. but a player isnt chosen. slendy is just controlled by AI. but slendy can deal damage if somebody is too close.

-damaged circuits
this can seriously screw up players. the screen can often get messed up, especially if they take damage. bullets fly in multiple directions. and speed is either reduced or increased.

Invalid feedback.

The hub was added for people who want to pick the effects, and in case people didn't want certain effects or wanted specific ones.

-Servbot apocalypse
servbots are randomly spawned around the map. but they run around the map with high speed. but they are destructable. defeating servbots can come with rewards, like health or ammo.

We have Zombie apocalypse and Eddie storm, this seems pointless. Maybe replace it with prize balls if anything cause they fit classic better.

-slender...
just like the hale, except you can find 8 pages. which are destructable. by destroying these eight pages, slenderman runs away. but a player isnt chosen. slendy is just controlled by AI. but slendy can deal damage if somebody is too close.

Again, we have Yashichi for this, and that fits more into megaman.

-damaged circuits
this can seriously screw up players. the screen can often get messed up, especially if they take damage. bullets fly in multiple directions. and speed is either reduced or increased.

sounds like a bit too many effects for 1. We have a speed increase and decrease. Multiple directions how? And screen mess up can basicly be the lighting one.

Feedback, this mod is amazingly fun, I wish it was hosted more. And I feel you do a great job on the effects you come up with.

[-FiniteZero-]

Ah, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's possible.

-Jitter Arm- (can't think of a good name.)

All weapons (excluding area of effect ones) have a large amount of spread, about the amount of the Bass Buster.

[Shin Star]

Oh and by the way; I'm going to try readding the "islobby" flag back to CHAOSHUB. I'm not sure if that still crashes, but if it still does, report it here and I will make a hotfix.

Is "DMFLAGS CHANGED TO: 29001000" the "islobby" flag? I noticed in the server window and in console, it keeps spamming that same command over and over. I hosted a game recently and the first time I went to the chaoshub, it was fine, but the longer I stayed in there, it started lagging me. What's even worse is if I leave and go play a few maps and come back later, it's even laggier when I first enter! It was so bad that I could barely move. Some of my friends said it wasn't so bad for them though so I don't know. Funny thing is, once I leave (if I'm the only player in there?), the DMFLAGS spam stops. Here's a screenshot with console open:

(click to show/hide)

Other than that though, great improvement! I still wish you can remove certain effects, but this will do for now.

Probably not possible without changing the actual weapons, unless there's some sort of inventory item that can change the direction of shooting a projectile which I doubt there is.

[Beed28]

Ah. I must have put ConsoleCommand("sv_noexit false"); in the wrong place. It was put into a script that loops. I'll have to try and put it into a non-looping script. Thanks for the heads up.

[Messatsu]

Odd, why not just check the console to see if it's set correctly rather than at every map start?

Code: [Select]

If(Getcvar("sv_noexit")==true){ConsoleCommand("sv_noexit false");}or am I overthinking it?

[Beed28]

Thanks, I guess I'll try that.

Anymore issues (bugs in general, not new features or effects) for anyone to point out to me while I'm working on a hotfix?

[Shin Star]

Oh I forgot to mention something. It's probably not a bug, but I think how it's programmed (non-expert here.) I was messing around last night and used the new style Jelly World that bounces you and the items on the map with Low Gravity enabled, and I noticed when I jumped, I was bouncing in the air too lol.

I'll be on vacation for 3 weeks but I'm going to probably mess around with it some more with my laptop.

Lock-on AutoAiming

...

How about a new player modification? Aimbot! All players spawn with Gammalook.

SO. MUCH. YES.

If you add this I will be

...

Will Gammalook be included?

Please say yes! This is the best effect ever!

Also an effect where everyone becomes only able to use Magnet Golfing would be lol

I'm very sorry to hear that you don't enjoy Lock On Autoaiming, but other people were requesting it, so...

[Ukiyama]

I think the best idea obviously, is to make the auto lock on a thing only found in the hub stage. As much as I LOVE the idea of giving everyone gamma look, the big problem with it is, getting around any stage what so ever, is a big problem, making it almost unplayable in some cases.

[Beed28]

I'm not sure on that one, really. The only effect that was ment to be hub exclusive anyway was Ultimate Gauntlet.

I'll throw up a poll and see what people think.
