OMG I AM SO EMO,
Whales

[Winnie the Pooh]

'Tis a win.

Hey, would you mind posting a shot of the pink gwangers?

[rotacak]

Grangers are ugly. I made colorful mod http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=10170.0 with pink grangers too, but after few games it's only ugly. Nothing is better than green granger.

Superpie: you should switch path description between tjw and never clients.

Blashphemy!

[ACKMAN]

Er.... Pink grangers are. But i'd like to f*ck one.

Does this pk3 include shiny mod?

EDIT: btw, the lucy marks look kinda ugly... can you change it to have less opacity?(60%~)

[Superpie]

I've released 3.1 which addresses the complaints and suggestions. I myself will still use 3.0.

[ACKMAN]

XD well. I didn't ask to remove it. Just to change opacity. Because it looks ugly.

[rotacak]

Good work, but why you removed new chaingun? Also - your modified flamwthrower is too strong. Now you don't need to know how to use it properly.

[Baconizer]

Awesomeness.

Thanks, superpie!

[ACKMAN]

your modified flamwthrower is too strong. Now you don't need to know how to use it properly.

Yeah, visual mod that changes gameplay.... -.-

[Jet~]

Pie this looks perty but I can't check it out until my computer is back up and running. Keep up the good work man .

[Volt]

Grangers are ugly. I made colorful mod http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=10170.0eyes hurt! with pink Ugly red grangers too, but after few games it's only ugly(What isn't Common!). Nothing is better than green granger.

Superpie: you should switch path description between tjw and newer clients.

No, NO, and NO! superpie is win, superpie's mod is biggest win. and Granger is win.

rotacak what you made, is no where on the same level as the hax pie just posted

Utter, complete, EVERYTHING'D WIN.

Roger, over and out!

[rotacak]

Volt: He? Non-green gangers are ugly. End of story.

[StevenM]

how is this on fps?

[Maximus]

I placed it under my base folder, and yet I see no changes on my Trem. Sorry im a noob when it comes to these, but how do I activate it to start working?

[CATAHA]

Only on servers where this mod installed i suppose. =]
Or you can create local server and explore mod locally. =D

[Maximus]

ty cataha that worked. Wow great job superpie!

[babaj]

added mczone server http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=9745.msg148944#msg148944

[Bernhard]

The prifle glow and hits aren't working with me, any halp?

[GeneralScott]

It DOES work with 1.2, or at least some of it does. The new chaingun sound kind of sucks, but everything else is EPIC WIN.

[OhaiReapd]

I'm being annoying and necroing, but its not working for macs. How to do so?

[Superpie]

Seeing as I don't own a mac and I don't really like them, I can't actually help with that as much as I would like. One possibility is that when you download the file, it automatically decompresses. When you download it, it should be a single file with a .pk3 at the end.

[OhaiReapd]

It didnt do that to start. I clicked the 3.1 dl and i get a page on Safari. I had to R-Click and do save linked dl to dl folder. And then I had to take off the .txt ext. BUT thats not the problem. I even exec it and I get an Unknown cmd "PK" on my console.

[GeneralScott]

Umm... Well  know this is old... But I don't get a file.. I get a really big page of text and random symbols.. Download dead?

[OhaiReapd]

Sigh...... Right Click>Download Linked File....

[Aelita]

Zip files start with PK, so, rename it to whatever.zip or whatever.pk3

[GeneralScott]

Meh. Or just don't use Safari. Sorry about the complaint spam.

[OhaiReapd]

I use safari. And it works. And you're not as bad as Sirdude.

Unless you are on a Mac..... In which case: lolmac

[UniqPhoeniX]

I'd like to keep browser wars out of here, but: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/11/ie9-leads-pack-in-html5-support-not-exactly/

[Demolution]

I was in no way defending or promoting IE9. (because it sucks epicly) I was simply pointing out that Safari seems to fare worse than the other browsers.

And that's about as much as I'll argue about it, since as you said, this doesn't belong here.

[Superpie]

The latest beta of this mod is now semipured on GPP: US1 Official

http://superpie.org/vismod/zz-superpie-3.12.pk3

[GeneralScott]

Wow. How did you get that semipured on an official 1.2 server? 
....
Oh yeah, I forgot, you're SUPERPIE!
Testing this now.

[GeneralScott]

K, I checked it out and found a couple of problems to consider fixing.
1) The custom crosshair for the shotty doesn't work in GPP for some reason. You might have to go stock on that one, but if you do I want the shotty's crosshair on the chaingun. It's the coolest one IMO.
2) The bordered HUD components are cool, but they don't look good on some HUDs. Please add an option to remove them.
3) and finally, the reddot is conflicting with the reddot in my HUD, so it kind of looks like a multicolered blob in the middle. Option to remove.

Good mod, otherwise. Now here are some sigustions
1) Steal the Mass Driver sound from WolfBr's mod. It sounds like a beast, and he used some of your components, so fair is fair.
2) Use most of the rest of WolfBr's sounds except for the rifle and the lasgun. (This is open source here.)
3) More particle effects. Didn't the 1.1 version have those along with dynamic glow, etc? Maybe you temporarialy deleted for compatability purposes.
4) Bullet holes. Black smudges make me mad.

That's about it! I realize this is a beta and I'm not a teacher telling you what to do. This is just what I would do, you might have different prioritys. Good job though! I'm going to use this and eagerly await an update.
(and how did you get it semipured?)

[Superpie]

Honestly I don't plan to change anything until 1.2 official is released. I just sort of mentioned it to Lakitu to upload it, he was cool and did it, and I thought I'd comment about it in this thread

[GeneralScott]

Yeah, that's probably the smartest thing to do.
I can't wait to see what your mod + 1.2 will look like! XD
But how long does it take to add the replacement MD sound.... It's just so sexy....

Not kidding, actually. It's a sound mod that improves your MD skills.

it looks good the chaingun sounds much more mean but why pink grangers :/ make em shiny not pink

[GeneralScott]

Since 1.2 is seeming close now that the sounds are 90% done, you can PM me whenever you want the good sounds for the weapons, as I still have WolfBr's mod on my computer and the link is screwed up on his topic. The MassDriver sound seriously helps you during gameplay, the chaingun noise wins, shotgun does too.

I BEG of you to include those sounds....

[Castyo]

how to setup my server to force clients download it?  tnx! 

[swamp-cecil]

thnx!

fixed. They will automatically have to download it, but you need to set a certain Cvar to let them.
And so, another anagram
the SerVer does not aLLOW DOWNLOADING when this c_vAr is set to 0, but does at 1

[ULTRA Random ViruS]

Superpie, there's a glitch i've found: There's no shotgun crosshair! But the shotgun crosshair shows up if i play a demo though (chaingun crosshair)...

[ziplocpeople]

I can confirm this, it also seems to appear if you disconnect, and then reconnect to the server (for one game.) Also, the chaingun noise is a bit loud imo =\

I use an outdated version of chrome on a free - rented macintosh.
EDIT: forgot to tell you, but there's no shotgun crosshair unless im viewing a demo, by which a chaingun crosshair replaces it.

Can you fix this?

[42]

Got a question about installing; I stuck it in ~/.tremulous/base/ like you said, but I don't see any changes.  Is there an additional step I have to take after this?

It only works on non-pure servers, or servers that have the file semipured.
If you want to check if it works offline you can insert /devmap <insert map name here> in the console to see if it works.

[42]

What do you mean by servers, and by pure/non-pure?  I was under the impession that this was client-side. 

[/dev/humancontroller]

I was under the impession that this was client-side.  

on pure servers (most of them are), the server has to explicitly allow this mod by putting the mod pk3 in the server's base directory; talk to server owners about that. only then will the mod pk3 in your base directory take effect for you on a particular server.

[42]

Ah, I see.  So it only works on servers that support it, correct?

yes.
