Title: Update: 2 Feb
Post by: Jonne on February 02, 2017, 03:33:41 am
I did some of updates over the last couple of days, you might have noticed some ingame already. Also, since it has been almost a month since we allowed presidents to fly, I'll add the poll to keep/remove it here.

Changes:

Added a couple more things:

  • Added /savecc to the autotune commands
    • Toggling this will enable /cc on entering a car (if autotune is enabled) or on /vipme.
  • Anti death evasion: added protection for /sync
    • You won't be able to use /sync while carparked anymore.
  • DB Duels
    • Fences were re-added, /watchdbduel has been added as well. (http://jonne.be/forum/index.php?topic=873.0 - http://jonne.be/forum/index.php?topic=576.0)
  • Added Turkish rules (Thanks to Ege)
  • Changes to /ccolor (Thanks to Quido) (http://jonne.be/forum/index.php?topic=762.0)
    • /ccolor [id] will now work (you can now do /ccolor 1 instead of /ccolor 1 1). Also, some default colors were added that you can add by name (for example, /ccolor black or /ccolor gray yellow)
  • Lowered heli platforms in WV/NSA to prevent people getting bugged under it.

Also, I added some things to the user CP:
  • DB Duel page (http://jonne.be/forum/index.php?topic=310.0)
  • Fixed the search in the kill list
  • Fixed some bugs in the race pages, also splitted Ghost and Standard races. Also, only times of registered players will now show. (http://jonne.be/forum/index.php?topic=320.0)
  • Stats page: changed the titles, K/D ratio will now only show up for people with more than 100 deaths and a duel ratio was added (for people with at least 100 duels) (http://jonne.be/forum/index.php?topic=319.0)
  • Settings page was added, you can edit your settings in there now. There's also a list of all available skins there (You can find the settings page under the icon on the top right of the page)

Last update on this: the poll closed and the majority voted to remove the ability for presidents to fly, so the system has been reverted back to what it was.

Great updates, nice work Jonne!

As for the poll I'm not against presidents being able to fly aircrafts but can we get back the anti aircraft camping system which makes President lose hp while staying in the aircraft after some time?

I don't think the current poll is really accurate, given that it's only yes/no on the entire thing.

Before you vote, consider how little has really changed in terms of the President surviving- he may take to the air, but it's not much different from how it was before, except that he flies himself. I've noticed that a lot of players who aren't on the forums like it. I've also been pleasantly surprised by how many people get involved in the air, especially the security.

The only problem I've seen is that many people don't know that the president is flying, so perhaps a mainchat message saying that the president is in a plane would fix this. Also, adding helis around the maps and/or cropdusters to allow terrorists to get to the airport faster would be an improvement. Overall, I haven't noticed presidents surviving more often in planes- I've actually noticed them dying more. Once there are a few people in the air, he doesn't last long. I'm usually just getting in the air when someone either shoots him down or he crashes.

What those of you who vote against the president flying are cutting out (in all these situations, the president was shot down and killed, and not always by me):

This is a part of the game that was never really available before, and a lot of people are enjoying it.

It's at least better than cutting it out entirely.

Most of the players are used to play on the ground and are too lazy to take a plane and kill the president. It happened to me several times (as a presi, using the plane). I agree with Yomama. The poll options are not really accurate.

Anyway, thanks for the updates, this is getting better :D

Or I suggest to make a time limit in which presi can only fly an aircraft only for 5 or whatever mins.(the time will start when presi will enter any aircraft) and after the time will be completed he will get automatically ejected.

That's pretty draconian. If there are competent people in the server who aren't lazy, they should be able to shoot 95% of presidents down in five minutes anyway.

Most of the players are used to play on the ground and are too lazy to take a plane and kill the president. It happened to me several times (as a presi, using the plane).
^ This. It's not the president's ability to fly the plane, it's how people react to it. This is how people reacted to me flying the president as security, and honestly, it's annoying.

It's like when the president stunts, and since no one knows how to do the stunt or is too lazy to do it, they just start DMing under the building instead of playing the gamemode. I find it boring and get off the building. It's not because of the president, it's because of the players- it's more fun for everyone if people actually chase the president.

better remove it because it is too OP.
How is a vehicle that instantly explodes on most impacts and requires constant attention to not hit something OP? The worst strategic move you can make is let someone get above or behind you, and it's nearly impossible not to have that happen when more than one person is flying against you. Every single aircraft is extremely dangerous to jump out of once it's smoking- a heli is a deathtrap, especially if you're flying it (it should be easier to kill the President when he's the one flying). You can't just get another one if you survive it crashing, either. You seem to want it removed because you don't want to chase planes, not because it's OP.

Also, someone answer this:
Some of you have complained that it's somehow difficult to get to a plane and go after the president once he's in the air, and so it's "unfair". If you really cared about chasing the president so much, shouldn't you have been right behind him when he got into the plane in the first place, or perhaps have killed him or significantly damaged his plane while he took off? When people are chasing me on the ground and I get a plane, it's very hard to take off and even harder to escape if they're right behind me.

Another question: have any of you naysayers actually tried to fly as president when there are 20+ people in game? Surviving is almost always easy with 20 or less people, flying or not. Surviving in a Rustler with more people, especially if they actually try to chase you, is in my opinion more difficult than stunting onto buildings. Tell me all about how easy it is for presidents to survive when they're flying while you watch me and other people who actually chase them shoot them down in game. I wanted the president to be able to fly because I couldn't see any reason why he shouldn't, not because I thought it would be an easy way to win.

I'll be waiting for the inevitable "stop writing essays" posts because the people writing don't actually have counterarguments or are too lazy (huh, is this a pattern?) to refute mine.

What a flabby decision. They were voting for what is the best for themselfs, not for the server.
