Hook\Rocket

[Blaze]

Well i was just playing de_mario_air and instead of hook it was a rocket?I was testing\abusing it out if it was the server problem or was it a test by fluffy .the rocket was quite hard to handle

I am experimenting with a different hook. It is basically a rocket engine strapped to you. For a while I have been contemplating putting together a few off beat items to run on the server at night when few people are on. The idea being "Crazy Nights".

[slow man]

Sounds sweet!!! Maybe post when these tests and such are being conducted.

[FluffyKitty.deadm]

I do not test at any specific times. In the case of Blaze, he was waiting for players to join, so to pass the time (and test it) I let him play with it for a bit.

[grims]

well any who it was the coolest thing ever and it is very hard to control but AWESOME!!!!

[slow man]

i played it for a few minutes after i posted earlier...interesting

Starting this evening players can say, in chat, the command, "vote_rockethook" to launch a vote for enabling the rocket hook.

This vote will only work from 09:00 pm to 09:00 am E.S.T.

There is still a small amount of testing that needs to be done, but it should all be completed by tonight.

Wow, great thinking. Also, it would be a great idea to set up a schedule with different catches on certain nights. Like a rocket night, a special weapons arena night, etc.

Hrm... I tried testing vote_rockethook, is it operational tonight?

All it said was...

Blah blah blah 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM EST.

Just curious as to if it was operational as planned or maybe a time conflict?

[FluffyKitty.deadm]

As far as I know everything is working. Just tested it this morning without issue.

Fluffy can you make a limit of vote like 5-7 each day?
Because yesterday This rockethook vote was in 4 map in a row and was succesfull.Im thinking , if it is played everymap wont it start being boring because when they use the rockethook they just fly around and hard to kill?
And i gotta admit , im kinda of tired playing this rockethook everymap.sry

[FluffyKitty.deadm]

Then just vote NO. For the vote to succeed at least 70% of the people on the server have to vote yes.

Using rockethook does require some modification to tactics.

[grims]

a lot of modifications to your plans A LOT!!

[FluffyKitty.deadm]

adapt

Some new versions of the rocket hook are coming on line. Currently, "Insane Rocket Hook" is being tested. The hook ignores most of the laws of physics. It has:

-Instant acceleration.
- Is VERY VERY VERY fast.
-Zero inertia so you can turn on a dime.
-Can overheat, explode, killing yourself and near by enemies.

This hook can be voted for from 9:00 pm - 9:00 am.

Say, "vote_insanerockethook"
