FUN (Silly) Mod?

(BondyBoy007) #1

Last night I joined a game which from the ASE looked like any other server but it had a “fun” mod running. Not sure if that’s what the mod is called (other players gave me this name) but it certainly wasn’t fun!

It seemed that when you got shot it did not inflict the normal amount of damage it just threw you in the direction the shot was travelling and would only take a little HP off you, the only way it would seem to kill anyone was to shoot them when they were against a wall and had no-where to “bounce” to. Even a grenade seemed to have the same effect - I threw a nade in-between three axis that were looking in the opposite direction (and standing still) took a few steps back to watch my handy-work and when it exploded the three of them shot off in all directions and the only one that died was the guy who was shot straight up in the air and then fell to his death. It seemed that allot of ppl were “Falling to their death” on this server as it was popping up all the time.

Does anyone know officially what the Mod’s name is? and has anyone else played on this mod?

I don’t see it in ASE, do you remember the address?

The gamename in ASE shows what the server admin wants it to show (or the folder where the mod was installed), so maybe it was just some test version of Shrub?

No I’m in work at the moment, but it was a European server and it’s name didn’t indicate any mod was being used - I’ll try and find it again tonight (won’t be joining it though)

:banana: yes this guy is freaky :banana:

Check your ASE history. Should be in there!

Well it probably will be, but as I said I am in work at the mo

I think I saw the server but didnt play on it. It was called “blah 's House of Fun” where blah is a name I dont remember. It was a british server. I suspect that the gravity/damage/friction was set crazy.

All you would have to do to achieve the same effect on a server is set the gravity to a setting where the person(s) could jump high or get shot and fly and then set the damage levels of everything to the lowest possible level (or close to it)

I’ve seen Hamster’s House of Sex (and possibly their Hamster’s House of Fun as well) do this too. It isn’t a mod per se, but rather some tweaks of variables such as the “knock-back factor”, i.e. how your avatar is affected by explosions and bullets, more specifically how far you are thrown in the opposite direction. I’m uncertain whether any other variables were altered, such as gravity, but I’m leaning toward a sturdy no.

The first few sessions I played at Hamster’s, I simply couldn’t stop laughing. I was sporting a silenced K43, and in conforming with the true physics of the bullets the gun fires, people were knocked back incredible distances so their measly SMG could hardly do me any harm. The gameplay, however, becomes very skewed, as with friendly fire on, an Allid player could shoot his teammate, say, an engineer, over the ledge on Battery or, on any map, giving allies a friendly boost with a Panzerrocket right behind the feet.

The jumping was not effected, all jumps were as normal so gravity seemed normal, just the “knock back factor” (new term? thanks FakeID) was hugely over exaggerated. Not fun in the slightest, at first it seemed that everybody was lagging like hell as one min they’d be next to you the next on the other side of the courtyard

You are likely referring to the “NiceGuy’s House Of Fun” servers… I’ve never noticed anything out of the ordinary about them…

Well I tried looking for this server last night but my recently joined section of ASE was all blank - looks like I’ve not played ET before then?

But has anyone else played a game on a server that does this sort of thing?
