GlobalUnreal (a.k.a., NewNet)

I agree with uenz that it's a pretty big change if his experience on stal is accurate. what servers have the updated spawn algo? I had to dl a diff version of newnet when switching from 1 pug server to the other, so I don't think they're all the same version

[uenz]

just played a Duku pug.
I was low right D and literally NEVER spawned eiterh low mid or right low in our base when I got shot by a guy in our low right.
And PACO agrees with me on the spawns on stalwart after playing a pug too.

I just played StalXL and can confirm that the main hallway was a ghost town.

unless its eternalcave2/rainbase/coret i dont think spawns should be changed. If spawns are bad on some maps should just change the map itself instead of everything

imo

So that's why I kept spawning in mid every time on Duku. I like it.

had the same problem on duku and sprinta yesterday

as soon as i died on D i spawned around 50% of the times outside the base

do not fucking put it back to the worst way TimTim. This is the best thing ut can have after newnet...DO NOT CHANGE IT BRO

[Sauron]

Hold off on any spawn algorithm changes (ones that could be permanent) until after this season. Changing things like that right before the start to a season is a bad idea. I'm all for some testing after the season though, it could greatly improve the game play - much testing is required though.

for itdm at least has to change back, itdm is supposed to be hardcore mode, now its like playing golf, just boring, random and lame as fuck

[Carras]

The fact that we've had a thread out there for a month and only now, 4 days before matches, we are trying this is horribly embarrassing. Should have put it on a month ago to test.... sigh. Tim boasting about how easy it is and we get to see it 4 days before matches. Right on time for haters to qq...

well played...

That's the whole thing: it's NOT the same way we've been playing for 14 years. It's different somehow... Others have gone on and on about the spawn vicinity/frequency enough already.

2-3 days should pump out plenty of data on pugs. There were ~45 iCTF maps played yesterday. 100+ maps should be enough data, especially with such a meager maplist.

[windigo]

the problem is the maps

v0.7x:
- Put the spawn algorithm back to normal
- Fixed the weapon disappearing after feigning death (or at least one cause of it; there could possibly be other causes); it was happening after the map had started and you had not yet fired your weapon after dying and before feigning; if it still happens for some other reason, switching to the shock rifle should pull it out
- Fixed a couple of issues with ComboGib: infinite ammo and shock ball damage
- Hopefully fixed the grappling hook's issues with newnet's movement

[uenz]

ah TimTim I rarely get a bug on w00t - I basically have to die twice before the jumppads start working again for me. They just keep resetting me onto the ground otherwise.

[Chronox]

Grabbed a few weapons, then got rocket, and whenever I switch to another weapon and then feign death again, Rocket was always switched to whenever I got up after feign death :S

D: I need to keep testing !

[ProAsm]

Just played on a server with 0.7x, bloody excellent.
Maybe just a small bit of sound delay but otherwise very nice indeed.
Any chance of a public beta soon
