2.5 Issues (Minsta Community)

[Xandria]

It's quite widespread. I'm not really the only one who has problems with it.

overall I guess I'm looking for some type of way for people to remove the shading from server cfg's I believe that should be optional.

I can deal with the footsteps since it is in quite a lot of games anyway, that was just picking up on what other people have complained about. I'm trying to help them at the same time.

Would it be possible for the devs to go to other sites related to nexuiz and gather opinions in order to improve the game for the userbase?

Hey. Just an idea though. I just want to see everyone happy with it because minus a few issues it's actually quite a worthy successor.

I think the devs would expect the minsta playerbase/other players to come here, rather then them go to other sites, not to sound bad or anything but most players should post there feelings here I think that helps the devs more instead of having to find people, like you and one or two others from minsta community who have posted here is good

As kojn said, I don't think it's plausible for devs to go to other communities unless they enjoy that/do it anyway/are really willing to. There might be too many side communities (I know there is at least one in each continent, with the possible exception of Africa, at least I know of none there) to go up on and check on, and there also might be communities that we don't know about. I think I got to learn in the past that there was a minsta community, but somewhere along the timeline I forgot you existed, until this thread was made.

Besides, it's much more common sense that people come to the official forums than official forums coming to everyone.

BTW, footsteps are not even on by default.

I'll see if I can get anyone to head over here. It's pretty hard trying to explain things alone when I pretty much suck at explanations.

My main issue is those light and dark areas.

Yep you are right. Visiting every nexuiz corner would probably take way too much time. Bad idea from me.

But the one link I did give is basically how most people feel about the updates. There are a small few though who really don't care what happens =)

I kinda like that there is different mini-communities around Nexuiz.
But it's not really possible for us to visit all these different forums and irc channels.
Communities could have an ambassador on the main forum, maybe a good idea.


Now I'll hope to help you on your questions. Maybe you know all this but whatever

Shading effects:
What is this? Shadows? It looks exactly like in 2.4.2. In Options you have a lot of different brightness settings you can tweak.
And as kojak said: the server can enable brightskins on all players (green, red or orange). You can also vote to enable them (if the server allows it, type vhelp in console).
MinstaGib used to make all players fullbright (so they don't get shadowed) are they not anymore? (I have not played minsta in a while)

Footsteps:
Footstep sounds is off by default. So either you choose a different server. Or talk to the server admin about it.
Maybe the other players like footsteps?
g_footsteps 0/1

Aiming:
Dark corners should not a problem if you tweak your settings. (on the screenshots you posted it looks very bright, so it's no problem)
Server admins can control the antilag settings.
g_antilag (0 = no AntiLag, 1 = verified client side hit scan, 2 = server side hit scan in the past, 3 = unverified client side hit scan). 2.5 use g_antilag 2

Lag:
Yes, as you said. The network code is changed a bit every major release to fix lag and stuff.
It's a constant work in progress.

Nex model:
This will probably not be changed in a while. I saw a guy post weapon concept arts here on the forum. One of those can be used I think. But we need someone to model it

Btw, the ladder servers for the planetnexuiz.com ladder can be turned into minstagib servers just by voting for g_minstagib 1, so you can also see how these servers work or you want to check out the fullbright skins.

I know what Xandria means. However I wouldn't call that "shadows" but "lighting". You can easily make a try by starting a local minstagib match with some bots on nexdmlc2. Enable the orange fbskins, look and see.

Quite funny is the way the models are displayed when having picked up the invisibility powerup now.

[Bundy]

As I am in love with fullbright skins, I would ask the admins to get this one as default or at least voteable: sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_green or whatever color you like.

But somehow the fbskin destroys the fun of the powerup invisible ... dunno if someone can fix it (or is it fixed allready?). It doesnt work as it should with fbskins on iirc.
