Hi Red,
You'll know its running by the icon in your task tray(by the clock). Is a C4 icon at the moment. No icon, umm it isn’t running.
Im all for making it right and making it better and making it do what everyone needs it to do. But the bottom line is if no one uses it. I wont know what’s wrong with it. You think pleasing 20 is fun lol, try simulating every possible situation that could come up in a game of 16 people on any connection type on any OS with any hardware....umm by yourself! LMAO :help: The first time I did this it was a little easier as there were 60+ ppl playing through out the day and I could easily find 8-10 ppl that would join a server and test it at a moments notice, that made working the kinks out much faster and easier on everyone. As you said the list has shrunk so Im kind of forced to test all this on my own until I post a download. Once it's up there I need ppl to use it, test it and beat it up. Tell me what’s wrong with it and be specific in the details of what was going on when it puked. Is this fast? Hell no! Is it fun? Not a chance! Will you have to give up some game time and deal with a little grief? Yup! But everyone that went through all the crap the first time will tell you that when it was over the work was worth every bit of the effort as we got our game back!!!!! Ask your squad if they would prefer to deal with some of it now, in return for a clean match in the near future, or not deal with it at all and leave the matches as they are? I dont think anyone playing(well lol of the ones were worried about) want it the way it is. I am sorry if this sounds like a rant, it isnt, so please dont take it as one. As the name implies I dont sleep much and Ive been starting at code for last 6 days, and to date your the first to use it other then myself and of course failed on the first run. Murphy’s Law!!! Welcome to being the test pilot lol!
So....... gimmie the skinny!!!!! OS? os service pack? c4 file version? Did you click cancel on that little window that said "Goto CPD and Update"? What verion of the patch? Should be 9.0.28 Did you get an error message? Do you see the icon in the task tray after you run it? Everything and anything you can tell me will make it faster and easier to fix......
Something Blue said to me tonight sank in a little so.....
Im sure everyone is weary of the new app, and doesn’t like the fact that it isn’t perfect on day one of roll out, it doesn’t have any of the same bells and whistles. So why the hell would we use it? lol well. What you don’t know is what I haven’t told you, that's the point Blue made to me. I didn’t want to spill too many beans at once and give false hope so I kept my mouth shut.
So here is where were at.
What you already know.....
8h is patched
efam bug is patched
server will post to nova with patch under game type so you know going in which servers are running it.
What I have done below I will release in stages once what is made available is tested and has had it’s all issues resolved. That means before I release more patches I have to know that ones that are already out there are working correctly!!! It is easier to trouble shoot one or two issues at a time rather then the whole ball of wax at once.(I need test pilots! And test servers at every step)..................
1)
This app will not run on a server that is using ANY ammo hack or health hack, which gives unlimited ammo and or health to other players joining that are also running it. (so if you don’t see the patch listed in the game type your on your own! But if you do it will most likely be a clean server)
This is ready for release and testing….
2)
The use of any weapon except cannons, hydra’s, stinger’s and hellfire’s in all games except co-op’s has been dealt with and patched.
This is ready for release and testing….
3)
Replacing cannon rounds for any other ammo. Is patched but has issues to deal with.
Still working out issues but nearing the point of needing to be tested in an active server(less then a week)
4)
The use of the “Tactical Display”
Is being looked at, I have focused all recent time and effort to 1 -3 but will be working on this once those are complete.
5)
Splash damage double death, one kill/one suicide.
I started on this back when v20 released, but when I left I stopped working on it. I made some progress with it then and am confident that I can fix it to a point that will be acceptable. It has taken a back seat at the moment to resolving the cheating issues first.
These are the things I know about and am working on. If there are other issues that need to be resolved I need to know about them and I will do my best to fix them.
Once the cheating issues are finished, at that point I will work on apps that will give everyone back the bells and whistles that were lost switching as well as some new one’s to add too them.
To those that have helped thank you very much it will take the community to make this work.
To those asking what you can do to help. If you know of any other issues to deal with please let me know either here/pm/ICQ/email. If you see I have an open testing server up join it and fly for a few minutes of your gaming time. If you have the connection and hardware download the app use it, beat the living crap out of it. If it puke’s on you don’t stop!! Come in here with as many details as you can and let me know about it, once I’ve dealt with it, do it again until it works the way its suppose to.
If you have the patience we can get this game back!!
Inso oooooout!
ps: As anyone that knows me will tell you, when Im done it will work and they will know! It wasnt called AutoExplode for no reason........
