Anti-Bunny:

Thorn, you need to play with voice_loopback 1 if you’re going to record demos. It’s not the same without your commentary. :)

ohh I diddnt know that- thanks! now everyone can here me drawl along- because you were missing half the audio!

yes that was a ninja edit- forgot to link it :P

Staff_Sergeant · 2010-05-25T21:58:45.000Z

Too bad you missed the first half of the field. We literally had all of you and magically you all just immediately rescued each other. That was then followed by me charging 2 people off of the platforms up there.

Did you get my witch pounce?

Sorry about bailing on our game, Comcast decided at that very second to knock my internet and phone out for several hours,how did things turn out?

Well we waited 20 minutes- because your last line was “testing something”. Then Angel got another buddy and it went well :P nothing too amazing but fun was had.

I’ve started to add Server-side achievements:

http://jaql.net/l4d/index.php

Go ahead and post any suggestions… However, keep in mind that I can’t do weapon specific achievements yet. (I know pogo wants a Grenade Launcher related one…)

Pogo · 2010-05-27T17:48:02.000Z

Z-Day Redemption - being the only person to kill all 4 special infected within… what’s the spawn time? 25 seconds?

Iron Man - has spent 25 hours of gametime on the server

Left 3 Dead - being the sole survivor to make it to the safe room

Kill Jab First - this is awarded to the special infected that manages to kill Jab

I’m a Fruity Motherfucker - you get this simply by picking up the GL (would that work?)

I suck at thinking of names and it’s taking too much time at the moment so here are some others…

go down 5 times during a single round as a survivor (the name of this one should be insulting)
as the last standing survivor, revive all of your teammates
die (not incap, die) TWICE as a survivor in one round

edit:

damage all four survivors with acid spit in one life as a spitter

Cat Scratch Fever - damage all four survivors with melee attacks in one life as a special infected

Staff_Sergeant · 2010-05-27T19:34:47.000Z

(can’t think of a name) - Incap every survivor (not all at the same time) within one round, preferably exclude tank from this

Jab · 2010-05-27T19:37:07.000Z

Pogo:

Kill Jab First - this is awarded to the special infected that manages to kill Jab

This could be a regular feature on the server that whenever someone manages to kill me ,dramatic music can start playing. Some ideas from me:

bucksnipe: Using any of the shotguns, headshot a SI from a certain distance (once weapon ones are in).

Overblown: Once a pipebomb has been toss, you throw a bilebomb or vice versa.

“Activate Rage Quit!”: As the SI once one of the survivors has been incapped, incap the remaining 3 survivors within 1 minute.

“Blame it on the lag” When trying to jump down to a platform or lower floor, accidentally cause yourself to hang, or incap yourself from hitting the ground.

Jab Power: Get through an entire level without needing to use any healing items.

Lazy aiming: As the tank hit a survivor with a rock from at least 40-50 feet away.

Staff Sergeant:

This might be difficult to detect, as there’s no incap trigger… So I am setting it like such:

Event: Hurt
Target: Attacker
Add: +1
Tiggers: 4
X’s Maximum HP is Y: X = Victim Y = 1
Expire: On Spawn

Not really sure if this will work… The plugin is still very beta, so I’ll recommend detection for this.

Unbalancer - Get swapped to the other team because your are so good.

Anti-Bunny · 2010-05-27T20:04:34.000Z

Jab2565:

bucksnipe: Using any of the shotguns, headshot a SI from a certain distance (once weapon ones are in).

No weapon detection yet. :/

Jab2565:

Overblown: Once a pipebomb has been toss, you throw a bilebomb or vice versa.

Same as above.

Jab2565:

“Activate Rage Quit!”: As the SI once one of the survivors has been incapped, incap the remaining 3 survivors within 1 minute.

I already made something similar (All 4 Down)

Jab2565:

“Blame it on the lag” When trying to jump down to a platform or lower floor, accidentally cause yourself to hang, or incap yourself from hitting the ground.

That’s a cool idea, but no way to detect it yet.

Jab2565:

Jab Power: Get through an entire level without needing to use any healing items.

Okay, this is a really obvious one, but unfortunately I can’t do this

Jab2565:

Lazy aiming: As the tank hit a survivor with a rock from at least 40-50 feet away.

No distance detection. :/

The “Kill Jab First” achievement is hilarious. We didn’t even manage to get it, but every round of that game was everyone on our team planning and shouting at each other to get Jab. It takes the Kill Jab doctrine and turns it up to 11. Of course somehow in the midst of trying to get it we wound up killing everyone BUT Jab.

Highlight: On the finale one of us tried to pounce Jab and got AngelofDeath instead, and Jab’s team all stood there and watched Angel die to deny the achievement.

Pogo · 2010-05-28T00:09:12.000Z

You didn’t get Jab because Jab is smart. He doesn’t stand still when he hears the visual confirmation sound of a hunter/smoker/boomer/charger.

Major_Malphunktion · 2010-05-28T05:44:10.000Z

Wait there is a kill Jab achievement?

I might start playing again. L4D is a strange game for me, it can be fun as hell, or the most frustrating experience in front of my PC. I backed out playing because of real stress in my life, and just didn’t wish to risk a few hours of total frustration. Also, as someone in his younger days was in the top 50 in Quake, yeah, my FPS skills are so lacking these days it is almost embarrassing.

Trey · 2010-05-28T06:54:19.000Z

I always juke when I hear a charger and 90% of the time I end up juking right into the charger’s path. :(

Staff_Sergeant · 2010-05-28T06:58:28.000Z

I usually jump because hey, if a charger is going to hit me it might as well be hilarious.

Realism is making me reconsider drinking alcohol while playing…and I’m only talking 2-3 drinks. As time goes on, the decrease in motor skills/accuracy over time is becoming more frustrating and punishing. Maybe that’s just “realism” though.

I think that just adds to the realism… there’s no way in hell I’d be fighting hordes of zombies sober. :P

Bad_Neighbor · 2010-05-28T08:25:13.000Z

I play better after a few drinks. This is especially true for TF2.

The best moment for me of last night’s game was when a boomer dropped from above and landed on my head. He then proceeded to hit everyone with vomit but me, and just before he was killed a charger hit me out of the way of the explosion.

Love the achievements. I just wish there was one for having to hear me yell obscenities for an entire game. Speaking of which, thanks to voice_loopback 1, I have discovered that I sound a lot less masculine on the mic than I sound in real life. I wonder how I can use this to my advantage.
