InstaGib script Feedback

[Wabbitface]

Relative to this script post and the announcing post

So far feedback is mostly positive,

Adding the accuracy statistic as made InstaGib more competitive, not only there is a battle to get to first place and hit the point limit, there is also a battle for gaining the highest accuracy. Being the one that has most accuracy, kill/death ratio and hit points never felt so good!

The announcement of who the new leader is a great feature and it helps leading players know when they are leading without having to look at the scoreboard to check. (though there is a little bug in which if you are drawing with a player and another gets to your current score, the announcement will shout out one of those 3 players)

Everyone seems to be enjoying the headshot sound, no complaints there!

Some players that are not doing so well at accuracy might find they are doing well with kill/death ratio and that might lift their spirits up. Even killstreaks feel pretty good too.

could you explain the killstreaks?

I got +2 and +3 sometime. I thought it was cuz i hit 3enemies in a row. Then i did it again ( yeah im that pro ) and i didnt get +2 or +3?


OT : I love the server. Its like the other instagibs but with a lil more purpose and meaning. Its not just brainless aiming anymore. Ty Wabbit.

you have 3 seconds to hit the next opponents - then you will get the streak
so you could get up to +20 as long as you keep hitting people within 3 seconds after each shot

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!

I played today for a couple of hours with this mod. It's awesome and it works perfectly.


Just a couple considerations:

-IMO while playing the screen gets a bit full of information and u cant focus properly on the game. I know I can disable the HUD with (*) but what about let the player choose different grades of "informations"?
For example. I was playing and suddenly i became leader.
-> easyfix Viper is now the leader!
At the same time I did a streak of 2 hits.
-> 2 hits streak!
I missed the next shot and I have another text appearing
->U missed PIZZAMAN by 0.8mm!!
Then suddenly I lost my leadership and.
-> MANDOLINOMAN is now the leader!

All this text appearing from fuckin everywhere confuse me The only texts I would care about are : Onhit -> distance of hit ---- OnMiss -> distance of miss

-Sounds like the "how-distance-u-missed" algorythm is different from the nadeo one. Am I wrong? The feature of -name player- missed by xx CM is really nice.

-Would be nice having a podium at the end of the game with:

_Player name of the winner
_Player name of the most accurate (that has >than 10 frags for example)
_Player name of the best K/D radio
_Player name of the longest Shot

Actually it's all displayed in the scoreboard and it's a bit confusing when the server is full

Bye!

All this text appearing from fuckin everywhere confuse me

haha yeah i see, the streak text is only there to explain why you got 2 points suddenly, otherwise it might be confusing as well
and it's like "hey nice! 4 hits in a row! "

The only texts I would care about are : Onhit -> distance of hit ---- OnMiss -> distance of miss

maybe i could display the streak message only while playing the mode the first time?
actually i think the newly leading player is shown way to big.. there isn't really another possibility though

-Sounds like the "how-distance-u-missed" algorythm is different from the nadeo one. Am I wrong? The feature of -name player- missed by xx CM is really nice.

yeah i always do it like that because it's more interesting if you ask me
btw the precision goes down to nanometer (while elite has only 0.0cm)

-Would be nice having a podium at the end of the game with:
_Player name of the winner
_Player name of the most accurate (that has >than 10 frags for example)
_Player name of the best K/D radio
_Player name of the longest Shot

well that might be complicated, would it be okay if the best accurarcy and the other values would be highlighted on the scroreboard at the end? (maybe green?)
i don't know where we should display this ranking otherwise, the screen is pretty much full already ^^

what do you think about these points?
thanks for the kind words and the feedback

[dreammyw0w]

hey steeffeen ,

good job on the instagib server but yeah the screen can be a lil full @sometimes.
You should do something about that.

Do you have control over text positioning and fontsize?

Anyways keep up the good work and dont overcomplicate things pls! I'd say the mod is almost ready. Dont add anything anymore.

Ye, the killstreak message by itself is a good idea. The problem is that the screen is overpopulated IMO!

This would solve the problem

Nice to know. Tbh your sistem looks more precise than the nadeo one. Dunno if it's possible or it is just a feeling tho

This might be an idea. What I meant was to have a sort of podium like on COMBO. Probably thats not possible in storm, so we should find another way. Highlighting values can work, but I dunno how much will it be visible in the scoreboard

YM2Cs again!

[Omnixor]

is there by any chance a server with the new script and more casual maps? I really enjoy seeing how awful I am in accuracy and k/d (no joke), but those elite maps with added spawns just piss me off... great job steeffeen! (:

do you mean the camera sequence showing the players on the podium block? well that's included but i guess none of the maps actually have the podium block on it

well there are already some other servers with the script, i don't know which maps they have
