Jetpack is on the "hook" key (default: E).

Have fun!

Any comments?

I... I may be a man, but I wish to have your babies. That is how staggeringly awesome this is.

NO ! you cant he's my baby Daddy
neat . i saw a video with jetpack in zymotic . gonna go check it out

Well. So far this breaks every map.

BUT ITS SO MUCH FUN!

I suggest people make Tribes style maps to accomodate

Spirecontrol?

Just played with it . I like how it uses cells on a second by second basis . you can kinda guage how far to push the limits . its physics remind me of GTA san andreas . so it was kind of familiar territory .
Now i am imagining maps that will actually use this tool . some ons maps would be fun to use it on . but look out for the actaul jets on Ons_reborn . But I think any map that utilizes objective based advancement could use this jetpak . Maybe turn Gravitate into an Onslought map with the jetpak . for (honorflalsjvLSIDgbv ) whatever that map is called, take it and set it on one end and keep it ctf .of course tweak the gravity on it . that might be interesting .
I dont know what you had in mind with this mod but im getting ideas for it left and right . this could influence new types of maps and game modes .
I love nexuiz . thanx for the addition . good job .

AcrossAnOcean is good with jetpack.

Torus , whats that?

Lunar Lander. Could be fun to make a Lunar Lander based map (Since the downward-thrust mechanic is nearly identical).

I was going to suggest a smaller version of the Tribes 2 map Katabatic for ons/ctf. I probably wont have time to put it together over the next few months as I am extremely busy.

Katabatic is lousy for armours only gameplay, perhaps Tribes 1 remakes such as Dangerous Crossing would be fair better.

However Nexuiz is quite different from Tribes, without automated bunnyhopping, skiing is frustrating, but it is only one of the factors [energy management, disc MAs, invos, etc.] that would result in lack of satisfaction when playing those remakes.

Imo, this should be as a separate pickable thing.

I think this feature (they call it 'pogostick') has made it into 2.5

I asked the same thing. Apparently, it would be whenever we have a nice jetpack model.

I would love for people to play more ONS, of course for that we need good maps. I'm gonna take a look at the current maps and see how they are. Maybe in the future a jetpack would be a great thing to have, as pickable like suggested or something else.
I wonder, what is the intent with this jetpack? To include it in maps or like a separate mod?

If there were ONS euro server, I'd play.

This. ONS is fun there just arent enough players for it yet. Maybe someone could do another mapping competition for some larger maps designed with the jet packs in mind?

Your idea is good, it's just that there would need to be some very good tutorials on how to create ONS maps. I believe there are some tutorials, I haven't taken a look at them so I don't know how good they are. But I believe one could learn a lot from that as well.
I have updated my Linux Mint computer and compiled NetRadiant on it, now I'm currently going back into mapping to learn myself. When I know enough I plan on resuming my video tutorials on mapping. It's just it takes a bit of time, I have other stuff on the side to do as well. :/

Well I'd be happy to make a good few ons maps but I just dont have the time. I already have a large mapping project for Neverwinter Nights 2 going as well as exams up and coming in the next few months.

Damn life. Never have the chance to do anything.

It already is a separate mutator.

But, in the future, I'd like it like this:

- it should eat "fuel", not "cells" (another stat for it, that is)
- the g_jetpack mutator should allow self-regenerating of the fuel (like in tribes)
- maps could contain a jetpack pickup, which basically would contain the fuel for it

This of course depends on someone making a model for it.

I'm up for the task, sounds like a fun project

slightly better bots and we have Zymotic

ai: it would just require a rotating pickup model...

but I prefer to implement this after the 2.5 release. In 2.5 it'll be just that mutator, and later it can be an actual item.

What about making a hook separate movement item like jetpack and not using weapon slot? (Actually, the same way it was before making it a weapon and jetpack using "e" instead)

Not now, maybe later. Hook and Jetpack may share fuel, by the way.

Would be more logical. Hook would need buzzing sound for it's motor then.

So no model on the actual players? If so then that makes things a lot easier

divVerent wrote:- it should eat "fuel", not "cells" (another stat for it, that is)

Could using cells/rockets/bullets/shells be an optional server setting still (so one can still use on maps that don't have jetpack)?

Unlikely, but as I said, the mutator will stay.
