Update.. again.
There wont be any updates in a while unless some horrible bug is discoverd.
How it works (main points)
If you mahange to hit (direct or splash) many times in a row with the laser you will get a damage and refire time bonus (more dmg less refire time)
Direct hits do more damage. If your target is in the air even more. If you and your target is in the air you do best dmg. Chargeup bonus from not missing a shot aplies.
Every weapon except the laser and the "nex" is removed. The nex is renamed "Bloodletter" and is verry diffrent from the nexgun. On impact it makes a player start bleeding, hurting him over time. It also trown the player up into the air and back on impact.
All removed weps and ammo now turn into small health/armour packs. The only larger health pack is a "normal" one found where the mega healths used to be. The strength powerup remains.
midair hits have some nice bonus drops and fx if they are killshots.
The config
I droped the system with mods for the exsisting weps cvars, it dident work any more and was a preformace downer. This sample config below if now in laserwar.pk3 too (so if you want the standard settings you dont need to copy and paste enything, just "exec laserwar,cfg"
The config file should be preddy self-explainatory by now:
- Code: Select all
// weapon balance settings follow
// Nexuiz 2.0 default laser:
// g_balance_laser_damage 35
// g_balance_laser_edgedamage 10
// g_balance_laser_force 400
// g_balance_laser_radius 70
// g_balance_laser_speed 9000
// g_balance_laser_refire 0.7
// g_balance_laser_animtime 0.3
// g_balance_laser_lifetime 9
// Enable laserwar
set g_laserwar 1
// General
set g_laserwar_laser_refire 0.6
set g_laserwar_selfdmgmod 0.35 // 0.2 = 20% selfdmg (80% less then normal)
// --nexgun stuff --
// Small inital impact dmg, moderate/large force (upwards)
set g_laserwar_nexgun_dmg 10
set g_laserwar_nexgun_force 950
set g_laserwar_nexgun_up 0.35
set g_laserwar_nexgun_refire 1
// Bleed.
// default is 80 dmg over 10 secs of one hit. (2/0.25*10)
// 2 hits = 160 dmg over 10 + 'diffrence from first to second shot' (minimun g_laserwar_nexgun_refire)
// wth does this all mean? it means one shot is painfull but it dont kill you
// two shots will very likely kill you, in time.
set g_laserwar_nexgun_bleed_time 10 // Bleed for this long
set g_laserwar_nexgun_bleed_dmg 2 // Every _ineterval does this dmg
set g_laserwar_nexgun_bleed_interval 0.25 // Hurt how often
// -- Laser stuff --
// Hit world or indirect hit
set g_laserwar_laser_damage 25
set g_laserwar_laser_edgedamage 5
set g_laserwar_laser_force 400
set g_laserwar_laser_radius 85
// Direct hit, both players on ground
set g_laserwar_laser_gtg_damage 30
set g_laserwar_laser_gtg_edgedamage 10
set g_laserwar_laser_gtg_force 450
set g_laserwar_laser_gtg_radius 85
// Direct hit, hit player in air
set g_laserwar_laser_gta_damage 55
set g_laserwar_laser_gta_edgedamage 20
set g_laserwar_laser_gta_force 500
set g_laserwar_laser_gta_radius 70
// Direct hit, both players in air
set g_laserwar_laser_ata_damage 75
set g_laserwar_laser_ata_edgedamage 25
set g_laserwar_laser_ata_force 600
set g_laserwar_laser_ata_radius 75
set g_laserwar_laser_ata_gibfx 1
// Consecutive hits buildbup control (laser only)
set g_laserwar_chit_damage_mod 0.15 // Damage (center and egde) scales by this for consectuive hits
set g_laserwar_chit_blastscale_mod 0.05 // explo radius sales by this for each hit.
set g_laserwar_chit_blastscale_max 2.5 // no more then this mutch extra radius (2.5 = 250%)
set g_laserwar_chit_boltscale_mod 0.15 // Laserbolt size scales by this each hit
set g_laserwar_chit_refire_mod 0.15 // refire
set g_laserwar_chit_refire_min 0.01 // fastest possible refire
HIGLY recommended non-laserwar config options to go with laserwar games:
g_fullbrightplayers 1
slowmo 0.6 to 0.9 (dependning on how good the players are)
Instal:
For local games: Copy above to a file named "laserwar.cfg" and put it in your nexuiz/data folder (and be omited if you want the standard settings). When you want to run laserwar open the console and enter "exec laserwar.cfg" then load a map and laser away =)
For servers: Copy above cvars into you servers config file and restart the server.

Testserver still running at
zdev.dvrdns.org / 85.30.181.104
Its on my home (dsl) conn, so dont expect miracles. If someone would like to host a real testserver, that would be zuper.
HOF:
<Diablo> the nex is a "game modification"
<Diablo> quake1 never had a weapon like that.
<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along
<Samua>]Idea: Fix it?
<Samua>Lies, that only applies to other people.
just try it and you will see.
