Pharlap, if you manage to get Bots without random internet people joining, tell me how! :/

all i did was create a server, thats it. i do have a hardware firewall btw. i dont know if that helps.



tried with bots, i must say, impressive bot AI, there were a few times i forgot i was playing with bots, like when they defend the planted bomb. really nice.



the knifing AI isnt good, the bots never stab for some reason. and start swaying their knives as soon as an enemy comes into view, killing their own teammates in the process, but it was hilarious on a 32 player knife only server i made with bots only, every single bot would follow the same path with rediculous consequences.



maps that crashed are dust and piranesi, dust no load, piranesi crash at team selection.



serious waypoint bug on de_airstrip, when bomb planted on some site, bots cannot defuse as they get stuck behind crates, happens most of the time.



weather effects do add a lot of atmosphere to aztec i must say, yes a big hit on frame rate, but looks terrific. havnt found any other maps that use weather. shame.



spectator bug still present, even with bots. thats when you cannot spectate a player for some reason when ur dead.



no radar bug detected, yet.



love the enlarged radio text and other enlarged text, hopefully wont be abused by admins (i wish admin mod *wouldn't* work in new cs, pls pls). the new font is great, looks less amateurish than before.



new scoreboard layout dont like, the columns are too far apart, its hard to tell who the DEAD tag belongs to etc. also VIP or BOMBER players hard to see against all the DEAD tags. (same colour).



other than that, a good update.



the knife i first thought was crap, then i got used to it. i definitely admire the new animations, they correspond very closely to the world view swingning animations that you see when spectaing other players. not quite sure why they chose such a pastel coloured look, but oh well, doesnt matter. the players holding the knife (world view again) look big and chunky and like they could really do some damage. the knife b4 (cs 1.5) looks like a nail filer in comparison.

Well. For those of you wanting to try 1.6b, you'll be disapointed.



First off, the in-game menus and text just plain hurt your eyes.

The bots actually act like semi-intelligent people. I wish there were an in-game menu (like Pod bot) so you could configure intelligence, weapons etc etc.



The new knife model sucks, but animations are wicked. I like the secondary fire, where the knife stabs through sideways =D!!!



Now, I'm not that good at cs1.5, so it was a surprise when i got so many headshots in 1.6b. I was thinking, MAN I RULE!!! but it's those crazy hitboxes (i think )



My fps went downward, even with cl_weather 0. I think the 66% more polys in the models isn't such a good idea.



Well thats my thoughts on cs 1.6

Hope that helps, those of you that can't find a way to bribe Valve into making your steam work...

LoL! I got a hardware firewall and it blocks people from joining servers I make. This is good and bad, because I want real people to join when I don't have bots, but I don't want people to join when testing maps, I make, with bots.

like someone said, try disabling your internet connection b4 u launch the server. dunno if it will authenticate with won or not OR if your server needs a "heartbeat" to function.

try forwarding the ports CS uses to your LAN IP address.

the ingame menus do suffer from a bit of lag i noticed, ie theres a notable delay, which is very random when u use em.

why would you want more variables to alter the bots behaviour? theres already 4 diff. difficulty levels to choose from? dont make life difficult for yourself.

the knife model is good, maybe you dont like the skin u mean?

i havnt noticed any hitbox probs.

player models havnt been increased in complexity. thats CZ youre thinking of.

*prepares to end all the whining about people joining*



1. Drop down console ( ~ key, next to the 1 key)



2. Type this; sv_password imanoobwhodoesntbothertolearnhowcvarswork



Note, password doesnt have to be this, it can be any word you like, even a french word or a german word :o



3. Revel in the fact that you now have a server where you wont get hassled by 13 year olds moaning that 1.6b is shit and that it sux and that valve are crap and that you haxed them........

[Pharlap]

ive tried disabling my internet connection after loading CS, it messes things up, dont do that.

ok disabling internet connection at any time during the game causes the menus in the game and everywhere to dissapear. i alt+tabbed out, and disabled internet connection, then back again. menus gone.

appended @ [time="1055284070"]

add:

ive forwarded port ranges 27000-27030 (udp + tcp), and within moments someone called 'player' connected, got owned by the bots, then timed out. woot.

[ShiMM]

Most of the bugs I have seen are steam related. Which means they will disappear once it goes full release.



One of the bugs I did see in CS was that after a while, sounds will stop working... Like the gun noises... zooming, firing and such.



Another thing is that the menu to buy weapons dissappeared after awhile also.



Any one else see those problems?



Oh yea... I made my own buy script which is very cool... :P

If the new weather effect in Aztec lag you, TURN THEM OFF.



cl_weather 0



No one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to lose some fps for a fancy effect.

The sheer absolute genius of adding rain to the single worst official map for fps that the game has, oh how I love that. I can imagine the train of thought there...



"ok, people use looking through crates as a tactical advantage and own me through it, I'll remove those...

they keep throwing grens up through the bridge, I'll change that...

I always wanted toxic green sludge in aztec, I'll change that...

I get shit fps on it, I'll try and improve all the rspeed...

*man from intel walks in* 'Mr n@rby, here's a new computer, make aztec even WORSE fps than before so people have to upgrade'

Worse fps than before? Let's add rain that'll instantly half the fps on an xp2200 radeon 9700... oh and mist too... yeah baby! Thanks Mr Intelman!"



appended @ 11:35 am on 6/10/03



* improved fps

* new crosshair colours that're non-pastel

* radar transparency command (and a radar that doesn't disappear on map changes)

* less recoil

* faster walk speed

* no weapon change delay

* old (original) aztec back

First off, your train of thought appears to have been derailed by the fact you're a moron.



YOU CAN DISABLE THE WEATHER EFFECT IF YOUR FPS CANNOT HANDLE IT



Secondly, I get 70+ fps with a GeForce 2, but you already knew that since you can read my mind and know what I'm thinking.



The crate gap was a bug. It's been a bug since that version was released. You should perhaps try and learn how to play the game without resorting to dumb exploits in order to get your kills.



Remind me why you're crying so much over the map you hate the most?

[Gpig]

There shouldn't be any need to turn the weather effects off. It looks really cool and unless you are hosting it shouldn't bog your computer(Geforce 2 Ti here and it works fine). It's too early to speculate on matches though and if you can turn it off, heh.

[mrpeter]

It Keeps saying Attempting to connect to Steam CSs.....

Nothing happens. The Yellow blocks load up and it starts back. WHY WHY WHY

[The Who?]

Error: Receive Failure, Winsock Error 10054 "connection Reset by Peer"



anyone know what this means?

No, the weapon models have increased in polys. As for hitboxes, they seemed to have widened. the model isnt as good, i mean who holds a knife straight up?



when i said bot menu, i mean like changing difficulty and weapon settings in the game, so you dont have to start the game over again!

[dohie]

i have tried, and tried for the whole nite, basically i think they made it even easier to get HS, (in my opinion), a major bug that i found now is that some of the bot_ commands are not working, like the ones that changes bots' weapons, and aztec's redone is not good, why add in raining environment? it eats FPS so badly, my ATI 9500 only get 70FPS when i am in water, that smoke is bad... all da other things i am fine with it, and the 2 new guns.... too cheap for the power, and too easy to get HS.. 2000 for 35bullet but nearly same as M4 power galil... what the hell..
