You can make hair lengths on some of them.. at least concievably.... using some old tricks. Hell... if you use scrolling alphas you could make hair that grows... I'm not sure about the UT2K3 engine... but the easiest ways to make hair lengths normally, for hair styles done like Romulus', Remus ...

Rampart's Last Manifesto

I'm not going to defend it at all... I'll leave shooting it down and picking it back up to everyone else... I'm just going to let it ride. Might not work... Might... Specifically for the American situation. It's long... sorry... but it's the entire extent of my conversation, so I pretty much put ...

"what if most servers are VO, and if they aren't people just make it VO themselves?" THen it should be obvious what the majority wants to play. It is very hard for a minority to hold a server ransom... so its normally with majority concent... if not... Then those who want volley only can get kicked ...

"It looks like it could take up to twice as long to charge up to full power" what? To reach full power, it takes the smae time. Both lines meet at the same point (max charge) The shot reachest viable shot power nearly twice as fast. We are both talking about the proposed Red Curve compared to the ...

Its been like that. It happens because their catch radius extends through you when they are standing right next to you, and the ball spawns a certain distance out from your center.

suggested in the dribble thread... (the part about it being defined by an equation similar to y=x^3 shifted up and to the right)

However, DM does not want an increase in maximum shot power (again, from dribble thread)

Okay.. you're right.. my bad.. a bit extreme... I do, however, feel that the idea he proposed had flaws.

Let me post my opinion about different playstyles. I don't like it... Hell I hate it. Soon there will be 1000 different playstyles and all are incompatible with each other. Every game is completely different. I already found it fustrating that there might be a 2nd playstyle. Let alone a 3rd, a 4th ...

The point of the Blue was not to present just a different way... it was for specific gameplay reasons... which can be viewed in the "dribbling" thread. What you posted Diab is directly opposite the reason for proposing the new line.

2 quick things: You can't make it client side... It presents an imbalance in shot power It does allow you to get around getting shaken with no escape. It creates viable shots before the halfway mark. Thatway you can shoot before the shake. That's the whole point of it. Therefore, the defender has to ...

It won't "totally" screw you over... but there definitely be a readjusting... there would be a benefit in that you could execute those moves in shorter amounts of time. It would jsut be slightly more viscious. (I do a lot of those moves.. So I'd feel it too, I just feel the possible benefits are ...

Would you be willing to try an alternate shot-charge algoryt

Image
instead of the power being defined by the blue, like it is currently, would you mind trying a shot power defined by the red and see how it effects things?

X-axis = charge time in seconds
Y-axis = shot power.

"i admire how you can fill one by saying pretty much nothing, you do it all the time " you lost me. Is that a compliment or an insult? I'm not sure... it -sounds- like a good thing... but I'm not sure.
