Thanks,  will go there and look for it.  I suppose I just have to type in a search for 1.3 patch.

Sir Bors

I think I may found one problem with the gems, unless it was intended to happen or I missed it somewhere on the forums.

When the g_pmodgems 2 is used, I've noticed if I had the regen or the gold nano thingy, and my hp is above 100, like perhaps 150, I think it does this even when hp is 101, and I frag a bot, pick up the hp gems, my chara whines in pain, and hp drops all the way back to 100.  This doesn't happen with the sheild gems when shields are above 100.

Is that suppose to happen with the hp level?  or do I need to adjust another setting?

That's weird Battery, that gems health problem you're having...  I'll look into it and see if I can duplicate the problem.

Hey guys, here's a test of SP2 for you to try.  Please don't put it on any public sites yet, because this is just a beta.  I'd like to see if I can track down Battery's problem and fix that first, and also I'd like to see if I really did fix the problems!

Service Pack 2 Windows Installer

Service Pack 2 Zipped Archive

Fixes in Service Pack 2:
- Server flooding would happen when anticheat code was active
- Optimized anticheat code
- Disabled 'forcepoints' server command, can be abused by
  dishonest server admins
- Disabled 'refresh_cheaterz' server command, can be abused by
  dishonest players to flood servers

Can you guys test this thing out and see if it fixes the weird laggy problems you've been having?  This should fix that problem, but I'd like you guys to verify that for me.  Thanks!

Tried the sp2 beta.

With flood protect on, I still get a 1 sec weird delay when the server pushes me back to the spawn point when the game begins with one bot, but I think it is seems better then what it was.  With it off, no delay or push back to spawn point.  I still would have to find players that would get on my server to test it, with spec's.

I still have the problem with gems set to 2, and the only health pickups are the medpack and nano regen.  The health points go back to 100 if over 100, when an hp gem is picked up.  When the health is at 200, it won't pickup health gems at all till if falls below 200.  I played it this way with CTF and Tournament with a bot, and normal health multiplyer of 1.

One other thing I noticed, is when you pick up the quad like on voy1, you can not hear the sound of a weapon being fired with the quad.  So if someone has it, you can see the glow, but no sound to tell if that person has the quad.  By sound alone, if you could not see the player behind you and you had 200 hp and good shields, then you might wonder why you got blasted so easy..  

I also get 4 "Delta parseEtitiesNum too old." errors when just joining a team.  I spec and rejoin and get the same thing.

When joining just my server I get 7 of those "Delta parseEtitiesNum too old."  

This is with flood protect on.  With it off, I don't get those Delta msg's.

I just seem to notice the Delta msg with the sp2.  I didn't really noticed it much with sp1, though I re-ran it with sp1 and it is there with flood protect on, and get just about th same amount of Delta msg's.  Just didn't seem to noticed it at 1st, since it's been awhile.

Well, had a chance with sp2 with someone on my server.  Gangs from my clan.

Spec'd him while he was jumping around, and no lag with flood protect on.  Only time there was lag when he chatted and started to move a couple of times, but was minor.

He also said, on a MAC, he can see the purple gems through the walls or columns when that type is played.  On my PC side I couldn't see the gems through the walls at all.

He also saw the thing about the hp gems when picked up when you have over 100 hp, it drops back to 100, when over 100.  Same deal when you have 200hp, it won't take the hp gem, which makes sense since your at the max.

One other thing is the server search.  When it's reg CTF, the regular EF search will find my server, and game type is um13.  But when it's in disi mode, doesn't show up at all in the reg EF search, but is found correctly using pathfinder or echelon.  And with gems, on pathfinder or echelon they game type shows up as 5? or 6? which is the game type.

Hope this feedback helps out some on your sp2 final.

Oh.. heh one other thing.  When your spec'ing, and you chat, the font color is dark blue.  I remember some people complain about it, since it is very dark, hard to see for some.  Is there a setting to change the default color for spec chat?

Is anyone else trying the SP2 beta out on a server, or am I the only one?  

I was thinking the same thing, but then they also could sent a email to Nagus.

I think I found another weird bug.  Heh, doesn't really effect game play, though it made me laugh.

I remember doing a wall jump incorrectly, and like slid down the wall, and you see the white smokish stuff you normally see when you have the anti gravity boots on.  I accidently touched the gesture button at the same time.  I normally use the neelix skin.  I heard 2 gestures at one time, and I tried it with seven's skin, and I heard both her gestures in one touch.

So in other words, when I did the wall jump and slid down the wall, and hit the gesture button using the Neelix skin, I heard "sorry about that" & "excuse me" at the same time.  I did it using seven's skin, and heard "resistant is futile" and "your skills are ineffiecient" at the same time... in louder volume, hehe

I played using specialties/ctf, with pmodgems set to 2.  Will not drop any gems for shields or health when a bot is fragged.  I'm guessing since it is based upon specialties, the medic is the only source of health regen, not that anyone can last long anyways against people.

In Team Gems/Capture the Gems, it works on specialties.  Fraggin a bot will cause it to drop Gems.

Seems weird on Team Gems though.  When you frag an oppent, you score a frag, you pick up the gem, you score another frag.  So 2 frags in one kill is kinda over kill on that type of game.  Not sure if this is what you ment to happen.  I was thinking you need to pick up the gem for the frag or score, but when you kill the oppent, you are fraggin.. heh  Also, when you kill yourself, it subtracts a frag for the team.  I remember I got to -10 just screwin around.  So someone could join a winning team, and cause that team to lose.  I'm guessing it is the same deal on a death match type, without gems.

Anyways just a lil more feed back on playing the 1.3 mod with other common mods included in effect.
