This might be a little oversized, but I think we can take it.
For the curious: :p

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 333FSB (Barton Core)
1 GB DDR 333 RAM
ATi RadeOn 9700Pro 128 MB
80 GB HDD
MSI K7N2-D Motherboard

One picture has the processor fan on it that I ordered with it. Double-checked compatibility with the Motherboard, said it's all fine, pictures looked ok (small pictures...), so I open it... no clamps but screws. Ugh. So I just put the AMD HSF on it, and it works like a charm (even in Florida).
I also had to remove the motherboard chipset fan (I think they call it northbridge) because it was broken, and I have yet to find a replacement because its not a normal standard fan but some MSI crap. Oh well, it works without it too.

When I noticed that the picture of Grillkohle's PC didn't quite fit on my screen, I got meself a powerful projector and hooked it up to mah compeh. Unfortunately, when I projected the picture onto the surface of the moon it STILL wouldn't fit, so I decided to shrink it instead.

Here comes the changelog, though most of you probably read it already. I have recorded some demo's from the playtest, unfortunately, I lost the romano one, and they are pretty big in size (23 and 29 MB).

It looks like the PT is taking a little longer than we thought, but that may be a good thing. Right now, Flayra is trying to approach the spawn camping issue with a couple of changes.

General / Whats Your Sensitivity!?

I do not think that it makes any sense to post your sensitivity to compare, since it plays different on every computer even if you have the same numerical sensitivity.

I am sorry, the changelog has been released, but I cannot post it publically, Flayra requested it. You will learn about it soon or later anyway.
It will be out tomorrow.

Yeah, the textures are client side only. The maps, however, need to be the same on both client and server. If they make changes to them, they will have to release an update that has the new maps. And they did make changes to the map.

Very nice, I can already imagine some of those changes, and I hope the maps that were borked in beta 4 will be fixed in this one.
I hope that I can make it.

I've fixed res node/chamber drops so that an empty nozzle is always valid even if the drop validity tests failed (usually due to an uneven floor or walls too close to the nozzle)--ayumi and bast will now allow res drops on all nozzles again.
 

*edit* As I read that again, it doesnt seem to be map changes rather than code changes.

1. Stop going to ALL those porn sites.

Yeah, PM me for some clean ones.  ^_^

I almost never scan my computer, because I generally keep it clean. I don't download random stuff all the time, and the only time I had some virii that I can think of is when I clicked that IRC link that Evangelion posted  :angry:

XP-Cagey already answered my question regarding the map problems, at least part of it. He said that all resource nozzles on ayumi and bast (?) will be working properly, I am now trying to get some info on the textures and the veil problems.

I also hope that the crouching fade hidden hitbox bug will be fixed, we shall see.
I will post the changelog tomorrow as soon as I get home from school.

Hey guys,

Thanks for everyone that turned out to test the gameplay changes in beta4 on Friday afternoon. It was helpful and fun, and it definitely improved the quality of the release.

However, we're probably going to release a small server-only patch soon (beta 4a), to address a couple problems in beta 4. Overall I'm very happy with beta 4, but we made some last minute changes that we didn't have time to test properly.

We'll be meeting in #nspt to playtest 4a on Thursday (tomorrow), at 3pm EST. It should be a small patch (a meg or two), and the changelog will be posted soon.

Hope to see you there!

There will be another playtest tomorrow, which shows that the devs are not going back to inactivity like they did between beta 3 and 4. Also, there are many updates going on in the bugtracker, which also shows some good coding activity on the devs' side.

I will post the changelog as soon as I get it.

Note: This is a Constellation & PT only playtest as far as I know.

There is lastinv, which changes to the last weapon used without confirmation, regardless of whether fastswitch is 1 or 0.
Then there is hud_fastswitch 1, which disables the necessity of firing after a number for weapon change has been pressed.

You should have seen the admins that one day when they used the bury command to get in the ready room during a game, dropped chambers all over the readyroom and the secret room and finally went onos there.  ^_^

This seems to be a really big problem for me when scoped on the AUG and the T "version" of it (can't remember the name, but it's an automatic scope one, not that 5000 rifle either)

You mean the Sig-55something.
