ummm Jaymod .....

(EB) #1

I play on a few Jaymod servers from time to time…the servers and I have the latest release of the mod. (I play all of the driver mod - mods)

Here is the problem:
My weapon decides to randomly stop shooting but ONLY in combat.
If I were not shooting an enemy, I could unload clip after clip with no problem but as soon as an enemy is in range of less than 300 feet…my gun decides to NOT WORK.
The closer they get, the worse the gun gets…(it BoRkS HARDCORE) !!!

I usually play on 60+ player servers with other mods…so it is not a computer performance issue. Besides I am running a nice comp. setup anyways.

What’s the deal Jay ?
Need more info. just ask.

Jaymod: http://jaymod.clanfu.org/index.php . Maybe you should ask there.

I know about those forums…Thanks anyways.
I asked here due to several reasons.

… that’s odd, and I wish I had an answer for you, but I have never heard of, nor experienced this at all. I have seen the issue with random shootings and view jerking due to non-standard characters in the game, but not this one. Perhaps a config issue? Could you give more info?

I wish that I had more information for you…
I have tried with 2 installations…1 with a config and 1 without. The problem still occurs.

If you have never heard of this problem then don’t worry about it…I will await the next release to play those servers.
I don’t want you to have to waste your time on something that could be a random thing on my end.

If I realize something that is worth telling you…I shall let you know.

Please do. I rely on this feedback especially for the bugfixes. I haven’t really changed anything that deals with weapon firing (except for the addition of the alternate fire mechanism, which really isn’t related), so I’m not sure what it could be.

EB, how about telling us all which server it is and recording a demo? This sometimes really helps. :wink:

(Shaderman) #8

Maybe someone else can double check it with your config?

(EB) #9

It happens on ALL jaymod 1.5 servers

I would make a demo but it would be the same as what I have been saying:

  • the gun stalls in combat, but if I am not near an enemy…the gun works fine.

It happens with a config and without a config on a clean install.

-Thanks for trying to help but I am confident that it is a random thing with my machine.

we want demo!!! =))

edit: and maybe try binding your mouse 1 +attack combined with an echo to see if its maybe mouse/hardware related…

guess it would look something like:

set shoot1 “+attack; echo keydown”
set shoot2 “-attack; echo keyup”
bind mouse1 “+vstr shoot1 shoot2”

this way…you could see if the shoot2 was executed when the thing occurs

(EB) #11

I cut and pasted the commands from Squadjot’s post, into an autoexec.cfg and made a demo…but then I realized that “echo” commands are not recorded.
-----so I added “say mouse-up” and “say mouse-down” to that script. (works like a charm for demo recording, but the other players get confused…hehe)

So…
When there are NO enemies around, the +vstr command shows NO bugs. When I pressed mouse1 and released it: the echo(s) & say(s) respond correctly & properly with game.
(without enemies around… it does not bug/stall)

BUT…
When I am in close combat…the “say mouse-up” and “say mouse-down” commands were erratic. [no set format]

  • The commands would repeat “mouse-down” without saying “mouse-up” or it would just be random.
    (Either way…my gun stalls.)

I have tried different mice with different drivers as well as everything else I have mentioned in this post.

Here are the specs for the demo and the demo’s location:
//===============
ET 2.55 - (Yes the same thing happens in 2.60)
Jaymod 1.5 beta3 - (was the mod version)
mlb_temple.pk3 -(is the map and it belongs in ETMAIN)

Put the demo into “jaymod/demos”
//==============
…I have made 2 zip files: 1 has just the “demo”, the other has the “demo and the map”. http://www.spyjuice.com/demos

Have fun… :moo:

P.S. I still think it is just a random error on my end but every other mod on every ET Version works fine. This is just odd. (There is nothing in my Jaymod folder besides the Jaymod mod files.)

P.S.S. Jaymod 1.0 works fine for me.
