Hard at work there Yiyas as usual, Excellent work there.

[Polis 0]

Magician - If this race succeeds then there could well be purchasable "freeze/burn/slow/drug/ect immune" items in shop

All you would have to do for this is a value check on the event player_hurt in es_wcs. If true player will not be frozen/blind/burned ect.

[codeHL]event player_hurt

{

if (server_var(wcs_debug) = 1) then profile begin playerhurt

es_xset wcs_hurtcheck 0

if (event_var(weapon) != world) then es_xif (event_var(weapon) != worldspawn) then es_xif (event_var(es_userteam) != event_var(es_attackerteam)) then es_xif (event_var(userid) != event_var(attacker)) then es_xset wcs_hurtcheck 1

if (server_var(wcs_cfg_shotgunchance) != "0") do

{

if (event_var(weapon) in server_var(wcs_wpn_shotguns)) do

{

es_xrand wcs_dice 1 100

if (server_var(wcs_dice) > server_var(wcs_cfg_shotgunchance)) then es_xset wcs_hurtcheck 0

}

}

if (server_var(wcs_hurtcheck) = 1) do

{

es_exists ex key WCSuserdata event_var(attacker)

if (server_var(ex) = 1) do

{

es_keygetvalue wcs_freezecheck WCSuserdata event_var(userid) freezecheck

if (server_var(wcs_freezecheck) == 1) do

{

es est_freeze event_var(userid) 0

es_tell event_var(userid) #multi #lightgreen You were unfrozen due to #greenblahblah.

}

[/codeHL]

You could just apply this for each type of "skill" and then unset it on death or round start.

[Polis 0]

Page is cut off so I can't edit my previous post heh. If you wanted it to actually not do the skill instead of curing it right away, you would have to either edit every skill and add a small check for immunity before applying the skill.

[UltimateOreo 145]

Fantastic work.

[Beefwipe 11]

[hairynipon 20]

keep up the good work Yiyas!

[narwal 0]

Awsome Job

Keep it up

[Clay 24]

I'm gonna start playing WCS1 now. I haven't been on WCS2 very long, so it won't be hard to start over.

[Yiyas 66]

Added quite a few items to shopmenu, +18 I think. Should make game more iteresting and a little more tactical. Prices to be changed and adjusted though

[Empire 30]

make sure succubus's LJ gets reduced with the rest of the LJ races too.

[Pebbz. 953]

I'm gonna start playing WCS1 now. I haven't been on WCS2 very long, so it won't be hard to start over.

Traitor.

[Empire 30]

wcs1 is much easier to start up

you get levels much much faster

[Zagrao 0]

awww and i came up with remelia scarlet race idea

and i see Yiyas name on credits though if he's the one coding, he does deserve the credit for making it real

*points to sig*

which girl do u think is her?

EDIT - oops i forgot i removed the girls

anyways here's a pic of remelia scarlet

[Empire 30]

hmm, i don't like ward races that much...

way too many rules that define where and where they cannot be placed

[Beefwipe 11]

Yeah thats why shadow hunter isn't on wcs1, Bios hated wards

[Succulent 0]

Theres a lot of turmoil in the server about the new shopmenu.

Especially from me haha

But it's turning into every other warcraft server. Way to fucking many items to buy. It's turned into people trying to get the best OP shopmenu item stack they can. Not to mention a second type of claws of attack for +6? So melevolent spirit that has a +12 damage skill already, getting another +12 damage with a MP5 is pretty overpowered.

All the extra armor and health options are just way excessive. And way to cheap. It's making me and a lot of the guys that pump in hours of playtime on that server a day not want to play anymore.

[Yiyas 66]

Haah sorry Black Mage I grabbed every single idea that was ignored in the coding forum and put it on a txt file to later code. I'll put your name in creds once its fully working

As for the serpant wards, they aint gonna happen since lot of peepz already saying they don't want them in.

As for the new shopmenu:

Claws used to deal +12 dmg and no one complained then. Now you have to pay £3k for that and you can't get mask of death or orb or flamethrower with that.

The new powerups? I knew having too many HP items might have been a bad idea, I'm thinking about making a limit of one powerup and move regeneration in the same category. Tome of +100 health was already in server and I based my prices on that.

The defence items have been around for ages, and are the same as #2 except helm of excellence which makes headshots deal 20% less damage.

Any new race added goes through the same thing. People always try to find the best way to whore anything and exploit it and that's not limited to WCS

EDIT: My bro's PSU blew up (he does far more important work so gave mine to him) so wont be able to be in game but i'll try to get updates on what I think is underpowered and what people tell me to balance things out while I can't observe.

[Empire 30]

can we make only 1 direct attack bonus available

like you can only buy the 3k claws or the 1k claws, but not both (you can still choose which one you want)

and... i'll try to pick apart the new races and make sure they're balanced with the rest of the server

[Tampon Licker 38]

I'm in for having the old shop menu. Just add a few things like immunity for the new races you intend to add. It has become more of a competition for who can get the best setup of shopmenu items.

[hairynipon 20]

the game now feels like dota not WC3 with all the shopmenu items

EDIT: Also imo shopmenu items are all "win more items" they reward a team thats constantly winning to keep on winning. When you minimize the number of items its easier for a team to build back momentum instead of being crushed by flamethrower, claws, ring of regeneration, 2 boots of speed, cloak of shadows, enchanted chainmail and helmet.

[Zagrao 0]

well ring of regeneration is supposed to be a one round item and not carry over to the next round.

and Yiyas, i'm fine if the serpent ward doesn't make it through could always make it a leech thing as remillia scarlet is indeed a vampire

[Yiyas 66]

Regarding the new shopmenu I'm going to revert back to the old at the moment since people are reluctant to change.

I will update it to the six categories later this week with the new experience items as they shouldn't unbalance everything and having it organised better is not whoreable. Then get the shopmenu restricts sorted out. THEN add the other items which are fully thought out and coded to work in a non whorish way, as well as changing the bag sizes. My apologies for such sloppy ideas but I do get taken away trying to keep the ball rolling sometimes :S

Also while adding the old shopmenu I removed the headshot immune item which was already in the server, how hadn't it been whored till now?, changed the claws to deal +6 and not +12 damage, still dont see how no one complained about that either, and lowered the orb's slow from 0.7 to 0.8. Other stuff will be updated when the 6 categories come.

[Empire 30]

yes what you did was fine so far, but i would suggest adding new items very slowly and not a huge chunk at once

such as just adding 2 items to the menu per 4-5 days or something, this would allow the server to get used to the new equipment before tons of other stuff is added in

i would say the samething for races (like 1 or 2 new races max per week)

and i think the HS helmet was not working before..

p.s. why is sunglasses $500!!!!!! thats a 100% price increase!!!!

[Tampon Licker 38]

The headshot helmet is a bit over the top. Someone headshot me with a scout three times and i took like 30 damage each time.
