This hotfix patches a few bugs that sliped unnoticed in 2.0 release.
Bugs fixed:
- weapon refire rates were depending on the servers tickrate, which made the hagar too slow (see LordHavoc's earlier patch)
- deluxemapping switch in effects menu showed "custom" on default settings
- sv_autoscreenshot didn't show the scoreboard on screens (and was thereby pretty useless )
- the chatbubble sometimes disappeared
- laser targets in laser guided missiles matches were not removed when a player died

Here's the patch PK3 (just download and put it in Nexuiz/data. For anyone interested: the source is included as patch):
http://kadaverjack.planetnexuiz.de/down ... hotfix.pk3

This patch will be included in the upcoming Nexuiz release, so please test and report any bugs left you find.

Any chance of a hotfix to revert the Grapple back to its orignal style

It ruins the fun of nexuiz with utter crap swinging grapple

Myself I wont be playing Nexuiz until they fix this in v2.0
or ill request my isp to downgrade to 1.5

I think it's an svar to use the classic grappling hook. Someone can correct me on this if I'm mistaken, or clarify, since I don't know what the name of it is.

I love the new grapling hook. All we need now is a few spiderman maps and my life would be complete. What's so good about the old GH vs the new one?

I don't want to be a pain in the ass but: that was a bug i expected Programmers somehow always manage to screw that up
(Hopes there isn't such a bug left when going to spectator mode)

I don't like it either, even though I have figured how to use it, I find it useless in tight indoor maps (which the classic one is very good useful for).

g_grappling_hook_tarzan 0 goes back to the classic one.

div0 created the tarzan grappling hook.

Thats not quite the old grapple hook. Try exec oldhook.cfg vs exec newhook.cfg the speed and pull is different with both which this single variable does not change

EDIT: just ignore my stupid comment below, i should get more sleep maybe then i would have READ gamemode ARENA DO'H i'm so stupid. if i could stop playing nexuiz to 04.00 evey night i might notice the letters forming words on my screen. excuse my astonishing stupidity

I'm experiencing some problems after installing the hotfix. i can't join the game on a newly started server until after a map change has happen. anyone else have this ?

I tired those suggestions , it didnt help

Any other way ??

Is their a 2.01 patch coming out by any chance that reverts grapple back to the same way as 1.2 and 1.5 ??

Well of cource those things will only work if YOU host the server.. (Campaign, Instant Action, Create or dedicated server)

"exec oldhook.cfg" works perfectly fine here.

So its a server side fix , not the client ?

If so ill request my ISP to update its settings then on the dedicated standalone server

Yes... this would be a server side fix, as if affects player movement and so on, and that is controlled by the server

Thanks

I never play Nexuiz on lan , instant action or single player
I only join the Bigpond Gamearena Nexuiz Australian server.

I will request that they fix the server side settings,
if that doesnt work , ill request they downgrade to 1.5 which works fine.

you have a weird attitude to ask other people to change servers becauase you don't liek its settings, which are infact game-defaults

I think what green is saying here is that what you are reffering to is not a bug, and it will not be fixed. Its the new way the hook works

A certain other setting comes to mind but that one is just an poll so i think thats an different thing

Back to the topic.. Both hooks have their pros and cons and as the grapple is not even on by default i'm not so sure its really worth all the trouble of asking a server admin to change it. And installing an 1.5 server is an more bad idea as newer client will not even see it in the server list anymore so you will soon be pretty alone

But Nexuiz is so flexible to make people change it like they want.. So if the server admin makes this change to use the old hook then fine but make sure he does mention it in the sv_motd ..

Hmmm... the screenshots should definitely get transferred to the server.

Why? Right now those screenshots are only useful when playing ladder matches and the people have to upload those screenshots them selfs when entering the results. They would be useless on the server, just using up disc space.
I guess you want to use them to prevent cheating? Those screenshots are not created to do such a thing..

easier to enable server side scorelogging.

Docs/scorelog.txt or something

No, just for logging purposes. Would be great to have an automatically updated web page of all games ever played )).

Maybe also pretty useless. But hey, what isn't??

is what my score logger outputs - which does have some weak points (no index for played games yet), but is meant to help with weapon balancing and as some fun extra for "statswhores"

BTW, this should prove that the rune of speed sucks...
