Cuddles?!!?

[}TCP{Snowbird]

Almost every time I try to join a server now, I get a version mismatch.

What is this new file "Cuddles" ?

[}TCP{Carnage]

Added a new version of cuddles m8

Remove the Cuddles.u and cuddles.int from your system folder

[rejecht]

It's an extension to Freon that adds scoring rules for thawing.

Here's what Piglet@Titan said about the error in an older post:

[Version mismatch ]Best solved by:

1. Not installing cuddles.u, if you have - delete from system directory
2. Typing "obj garbage" in the console
or 3. By restarting ut2004

Yes - if all else fails, just remove that package from the cache.

I just need a thaw award sound or two before doing a new version so you should be OK for a bit.

If u want the latest version of cuddles i just took em from the titan servers so should be mismatch free ( server wise that is.. coco ?) no need for clients to have it in their system folder.

Cool Car, thanks for thinking of me.

Alright, added it to FH#4, thanks Carnage!

Hi!

Hmm, I noticed that the new cuddles adds a few new options to the server configuration:

Code: Select all

bHeightRadar=True
bAwardAmmoOnThaw=True
GitAvoid=After dropping out from frozen you must spec at least to end of round.
bWimpsScoreRecover=False
bIgnoreWimps=True

While the second option seems to be pretty clear, does anyone know what exactly the others are for?

Hi!

lilalurl was friendly enough to send me a link to the Titan forums. The following is from this link, post #67:

Score recovery is the main thing. Optional 99% working wimp code, which is not active by default:

A "wimp" is someone who leaves the server, or drops to spectator when frozen - presumably to avoid being telefragged/pitted/dropped into lava to spoil the fun of the person doing it - and then tries to rejoin the game the next round.

Default settings are that non-wimps have their score, frags, adren, thaws, etc saved if they leave the game. If they rejoin they should get it back. It's not full stats, but it's the core ones which get shown in the main scoreboard. Multiple players on the server with the same key might be a problem - but it wasn't worth much effort coding round it.

Defaults:

bWimpsScoreRecover=Flase
ie. Wimps do not get score recovery. When true they do

bIgnoreWimps=True
ie. Wimps do not get any other punative action. When False they're prevented from dropping back to player from spectator in the next round....only kept out for one round, so hardly much of an inconvenience if they really needed to spectate. It's only about 3-4 mins.

It they dropped off the server and try to get back in they're forced into a spec slot.

If there's no spec slot they cannot get back in to the sever until the next round.

I said this was 99% workingThe 1% that's missing is that if you wimp out then try to rejoin and there are no spec slots you don't see the kick message. It was bugging the hell out of me and I'm still not sure why it's not showed. Maybe I put the logic too early in the connection process.


The score recovery should work - but it wasn't really possible to give it a full test without other players around to help.



I think I probably squashed another bug or two too...but I can't remember!

Thanks, lilalurl!

I wonder why that piglet went to so much effort to try and protect the lamers' fun
