Correct Behavior when crate is opened

[BoneofMalkav]

Now I see why I don't open the crate,besides the fact I always end up getting glitched by waves 7-10.And no it's NOT my connection cause if it was then it would of been the same way with my OLD router,and the new router pumps out 54.0 MBps while my old router was only giving me 11 to 12 mbps.So it has to be my CPU or something else.But it's all changing by christmas anyways so it won't matter :D

did you try clearing cache and resetting all binds? that stopped it for me...

I tried clearing the cache many times (for some reason if people are playing car ball on joeys server it keeps downloading cball.u,cball.usx and cball.utx even though I got them.Same size and contents last time I checked.)But never tried resetting the binds (oh yay gotta set my binds again,oh well)I'll give that a shot next time.

Press F6 in game and check Packetloss section, this is the root problem why i m glitched since wave 15.
Also useful to make ping test of MonsterMadness IP.
I always have average 4-6% packetloss to there.

This is why i hand out the weapons order by rank or order by score then there is no argument. :arnold2:

When the crate is busted open......It comes on the screen that the weapons crate is opened

just to answer in the correct topic:-)

sometimes this message is not readable in waves with much "deemer-attacks"... when 1017 deemers are shot down then the 1 crate opend message is missed...

or when someone heal you or healing yourself with a medicwep...

sometimes it looks (for me) like this mesage doesnt appear, then i see players talk about "can i have this or that?" and when i scrollback my log it
says it was opend, but i was sure no healing- or deemeraction was at that time.... maybe i was to busy (or tired :-) )... or anyone else recogniced that?

I know I constantly check my packetloss and usually even when I'm out of a lag spike and stuck in a recent area for 3 seconds,it barely reports any packetloss for me.Only had packetloss acouple times but that was last week,this week showed nothing but still got glitched (on wave 14 last night).

First, I too often miss the "Crate got Busted" message. Maybe it could be coded to appear on a different line. or in a different color. Maybe an audible, as well? Kind of like when WAND gets spelled.

Second, WTF with the Weapons Crate? Seriously. So, you open the crate and it's full of Grade AAA Guns. They get handed out quick, POOF, we all kick a$$ and have fun. I love it... Of course, as most who participate enough to read this already know, this rarely happens. I am not about to say I have any sort of easy fix for THIS. I do have an idea for a separate thread.


I do think it's important to respect that i DOES take a players attention to go through all the weapons and toss them out. I haven't done it myself, but I have seen it done often enough now. Speaking of attention, it also seems like so much attention gets diverted by that damn Crate we get WTFPWNED by the monsters. Invasion Continues!... It is the nature of such things, the gamer's desire for LOOT used by the Gamemasters to lure them to danger, even death. If we can all remember to help the process, it can go smoothly and we can beat the Masters er... Monsters.

Venger, i totally agree & understand the what ur feeling when the crate is open. The way i see it, LIFE's not fair so sorry if some players are un happy because they didnt get their way!!! ooo deal with it, or file a complaint with joey(like that will help,lol). And just one more thing Venger be a MAN, dont apologize for voiceing ur opinon.

For a long time I never opened the crate. I would pass toss if out in the middle of fighting that way people didn't think I was just tossing it. M3rc and a few other knew I had it but it wasn't worth the hassle. then when the server got harder I would hold the crate and wait until the key came. If I got the key then I would just simple toss the crate make sure someone got it and say oh----I got the also. then just ask for a gun and help protect the person who is willing to open the crate. not very big team player but I did stay around most of the time to watch out.

That's more than a lot of people are willing to do - once they get their gun they run off!

Ok, I am sorry to make a post like this but I think it is VERY needed. I just got off the server and the last game I played I picked up BOTH the crowbar and the weapons crate by wave 5. I try to be fair and keep everyone happy and that is near impossible.

I have text to speech enabled and no, I am not shutting it off. If I do I loose contact with the players that do not have a mic. This is a big understatement but I got bum rushed. Between the text to speech and the mics I could not hear anything or make out who wanted what and I had a player crowd me when I tried to toss weapons to people, like he was trying to steal the weapon. This was chaos.

If I ever get the crate and crowbar again and people that crowd me or bum rush me and don't wait their turn, they get nothing. And I will have zero tolerance on this. I have opened the crate before and not had this happen to this extreme before. This was a learning experience for me.

Sorry again for making this post but I am very aggravated about this. And to the admins, no I do not think we should remove the crate, its one of the things that make this server unique. I think people just need to learn some manners.

Venger....I agree with you. The people who supply the crowbar and the crate have first choice of weapons. Although it's good to call out what you want to secure your place in "Line"...you need to make sure you're at the location within a reasonable amount of time. I've also noticed lately...that alot of people want you to run through all the weapons and give them a run down of the entire inventory and tell you what lvl the weapons are :roll: I finally decided that I'm not going to do that, if you call a weapon....that's what you get! The person with the weapons doesn't want to stand there all day and sift through the weapons for you because they would like to play too.

Just like last night.....please don't stand there and say..."What do you have?" Cause I'm not gonna tell you. You tell me what weapon you want....if it's gone..I'll tell you it's gone. If you can't make a choice...it's not the problem of the person holding the weapons. If I call the ssr mini heavy...and it's a vamp 2 lvl...well...then...that's what I get. In addition...you shouldn't ask for additional weapons until everyone has had a chance to get one! Don't ask for seconds immediately after you get your weapon

When I choose my weapon...I immediately WOP it..if needed...and add a retention to it. That way if a nuke goes off or a titan rock pummels my ass...I've still got my weapon 8)
