NS2-Tweaks

xDragon

I recently published a mod with some of the bug fixes that are implemented in CompMod currently. Its titled as NS2-Tweaks, and is published on steam workshop and github currently.

WS Link - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=581005458
Github - https://github.com/xToken/NS2-Tweaks

Below are the things fixed/added currently:
Fixes following bugs:
View Angles on respawn being random.
Clogs leaving ghost colliders after falling.
RTs taking damage on round start sometimes.
No damage feedback for attacking aliens with mucous.
Catpacks being picked up by marines who still have catalyst boost.
Fix for steam friends overriding enemy colors on minimap (Mainly for gestating eggs)

Also added debugrifle console command to help debugging rifle jam. After getting jam, enter debugrifle into console and get me the results. Doesnt need to be immediately after, but try not to fire when reloading too much as it might clear the log.

Are there any plans for this to be brought into vanilla in the near future?

@Obraxis @BeigeAlert @WasabiOne any news on this being added to vanilla?

Clogs leaving ghost colliders after falling.

i don't know if this will fall under this fix, but they also leave colliders when they die to burn damage. reproduce: tap it with flamethrower, let the DoT destroy it. happens most of the time.

I already brought this up internally days ago

It's been discussed, outlook good. What we're trying to do now is make part of our gitlab open to public for exactly these kinds of contributions.

xDragon

Ill have to test the clogs dying by flame damage, but it should be an easy one now that I found the root cause.

Now that you mention opening up gitlab for people to contribute, what happened with this?

So in short, not only does the NS2 Development team still greatly welcome community contributions, but we are excited to be able to give back to those contributors in a meaningful way. This contribution system has yet to be ironed out, but we’re looking forward to providing an environment where contributions are not only recognized, but compensated. This system will encourage community members to develop new features and content that can be integrated into the game for everyone to enjoy.

can you just pay dragon & mendasp so they can fix your game already thx.

Locklear

been saying this for years ^

xDragon

Ghost clogs from them dying were also a thing, those being worse in that the object existed on the server and would actually block movement/bullets. Fixed that too.

turtsmcgurt

yeah that's what I was referring to with the flame. it's possible to block any sized door until map change with the method during pregameplus if you really want to be a dick.

Able to shed any light on this at all? - http://pastebin.com/GLYSe54F

It results in 200mb+ logfiles and drops FPS to about 20 while spamming the console, I can post the full log if required and I'm going to try and reproduce it now.

@xDragon I've sent you the server log on Discord.

xDragon

Oops, guess thats what I get for copy/pasting it all out of compmod. Its fixed now.

SupaFred

@xDragon I can't see the mod on the Workshop anymore. Did you hide it?

xDragon

Seems they updated the workshop agreement, it should be visible again now. This might affect anyone with a WS mod.

xDragon

Just published another update to fully fix steam friend colors on minimap. Also changes embryo's (gestating players) to show up as eggs.

Furs

edit: doubting atm if its ns2tweaks will need to check a bit more..

The gorge icons seem a bit messedup, like they overlap or something.. and railgun icon for babbler bal?

Yea i have seen that a couple times now, not sure what is causing that. But I have seen it before I made ns2-tweaks.

Updated again with some improvements to skulk wallwalking, specifically when moving over large angles on the ceiling.

How did it improve?

You don't just fall off for no reason most of the time now Kappa

Yes! Was told performance was an issue. Anxious to see how well this worked out!

xDragon

A lot of people have talked about it recently, so my next task is looking to be removing metabolize from slot2, and just leaving it on shift. Would like to get an idea for how people feel about that overall.

Cr4zyb4st4rd

I know some comp players that use it on weapon2 so that crouching and metabolizing are easier to do together. Im not a fan of removing an option just because people select it by mistake.

xDragon

Alright updated with a fix for one occurrence of the rifle jam bug. When reloading at the precise time you are landing from a jump, you may notice a slight delay (~0.05ms) before the reload animation starts playing.

SupaFred

NS2++?

xDragon

Updated with a fix for ghost firing SG after building.

Let me know of any other outstanding bugs I should look into, and any repro steps if you got em.

xDragon

Updated again to fix exosuit parasite not being maintained as expected.
