Poke646 / Poke646: Vendetta Co-op [beta 1.0]

[Green Astronauts]

From the zhlt.fgd that comes included with VHLT v34:

// light_surface
// It defines texture lights.
// It is recommended to replace lights.rad and info_texlights with this entity.
@PointClass color(255 255 0) = light_surface : "Advanced texture light"
[
etc. etc. etc.

While playing this on a server with a substantial amount of players, I found a few issues:

• The transmission logs, computer logs (cameras) are always able to be activated by players, which means someone can spam this and not allow progress for any players.
• The low sv_airaccelerate prohibits you to make proper strafing, which is insane considering there are quite a few platformer puzzles (like the train level), that makes this difficult and outright frustrating. This might be intentional, but it is not desired.
• If you're a high number of players (5+), you get stuck quite easily, because the majority of the maps are tiny. This could be fixed by disable player clipping—and would also prohibit people from boosting at certain areas.

1: Never noticed that on the server by Zorbos, IUIC Panels are only usable once for me. (Tested on Zorbos' Server, TheZebraHut Server and by running it on my own)
Can you name a specific map where you noticed one being usable multiple times?
The only thing I know of that can be clicked multiple times are the handwritten notes, which also only get displayed to the one who clicked on them.


2: It is to hinder people from bunnyhopping/speedrunning the maps. Most if not all jumps can be made by simple, straight jumps. Easily doable, at least I never had a problem and I don't consider myself good at Goldsrc platforming

[human]

I believe it was possible in all Poke646: Vendetta maps (esp. pv_c3m1). I played it on the twilightzone server.

I understand that you wanna prevent the speedrun, but what frustrated me was the train level, which requires a more precise jumping to not jump too far ahead. I don't know what a good value would be, but 2 doesn't give enough air control for such occasions.

i found this happen in po_c4m2 too.

By the way in po_c3m8 is quite common to get the garg stuck into the fallen light post area, blocking and killing any player trying to evade it. Maybe adding something to kill the garg could help.

Never personally had a problem with that and most people I see dying are getting crushed by the lights, not from jumping too far.


I just checked pv_c3m1 and saw the laptop in the dining hall was activatable multiple times, I will run thru the campaign when I find the time and check where it happens and give the list to Zorbos.

You kill the garg by reaching the electro-box at the fence which then also opens the way to the subway.
I asked Zorbos if he can maybe add something to prevent the garg from getting too close to the lamp post, you can also just kite the garg away from it.

1. Thought I fixed these beforehand but it's being looked into. The only one that I know is messed up right now for sure is the one in the train.
2. It's completely intentional that the airaccel is set that low since people can't help themselves and feel the need to bhop every map. I realize its annoying but strafing isn't even remotely necessary to make any of the jumps required..
3. Believe me, I've tried to find ways to do this. It's been one of my main focuses actually because I hate when people cheat the maps. But it's not possible in this version of Sven without breaking things. Sadly not much can be done about congestion.

I might know a way to stop the garg from blocking the path on c3m8. I'll fix it for next update.

I don't know whether this in an issue in the original Poke646, but I can confirm it on Vendetta.

Yeah, I've found a couple of laptops that do it already. Guess I just missed em.
I'll release a patch fixing everything after my final exams are over in a week or so

Played through both chapters with 3 people and it all worked perfectly and was a ton of fun to go back to Poke646. Props to the converter, this was a good few hours of fun!

Ok,
I have a server or is installing Poke646.
Or can I have the installation file for version 5.11?
J'ai un serveur ou est installer Poke646.
Ou puis-je avoir le fichier d'installation pour la version 5.11 ?
Thanks

[Zorbos]

Sure, I'll send you the link via PM. Same goes for any other server ops out there who want to get their servers ready for 5.11. I won't update the thread itself though until 5.11 is out so people aren't downloading the wrong one.

[spy-warrior]

Ok, Thanks

Like I said before, the xs (xen squasher) resources are still being called for because I left them in there in case I ever get the gun working. As for the other sound warnings, I can't say I'm really in the mood to hunt down each and every one in each map and fix them, especially since they're far from game-breaking. Call me lazy I guess but I just don't have that extra time to spare nowadays. If you want to compile me a list of all of the missing sounds though, I'll fix it for you in a new patch.

I will fix the model_generic in pv_c1m2 now though. Looks like I just forgot to turn it into item_generic. It's probably throwing a warning about the info_texlights because I need to switch over to light_surface. I'll see what I can do about that.

Checkpoints should still be enabled when survival turns on. I'm still not really sure how the new system works now that it's native to the game. I'll look into it though.
