Video showing the height capabilities of WA

[Acegikmo]

I mainly made this video to show people why WA is better then WWP (Because of all updates).

Enjoy :)

All I can say is: Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Acegikmo]

All I can say is: Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

...Until you realize you didn't pack your parachute :D

[Plasma]

Man, now if you were to combine W:A's huge map size with WWP's mission editor.....
Let's just say that it's gonna be able to make one hell of a Rube Goldenberg rollercoaster!

[Plainplane]

That looks fun!

Now I hope it will be included in the W:A/WWP mega version.

Plainplane :)

Hahaha, the music was most brilliant, the choice couldn't have been better.

[franpa]

the camera work could have been done better by leaving the mouse alone :P aside from that, good job./

[robowurmz]

If you hadn't noticed franpa, the worm started to go so fast the camera was being left behind.

[franpa]

so you move faster if you jump off of ground rather then teleporting mid air? i tried teleporting really high up and found the camera to never get left behind... maybe he used /batty or something that freaks the camera out?

[CyberShadow]

I agree with franpa on this one - if you don't touch the mouse the camera would have followed the worm automatically. The movie's cute, though :)

[bonz]

Also, holding down the home key should work.

[Etho]

The music reminds me of Alfred Chicken. :)

Nice little video. I was surprised to see the worm bounce the 2nd time.

It was falling faster than the camera :P
Anyway, thanks for watching everyone :)

[franpa]

as noted, the camera does NOT get left behind... but if you used /TS then it may have been due to double rope speed or what ever...

edit: /TS does indeed make the camera get lft behind.

I need that music! I love it!

[Acegikmo]

I need that music! I love it!

The band is called "Slagsmålsklubben".
The song is from their latest CD, "Boss for leader"
Youtube them and you'll find more songs :)

[yakuza]

I think you had FD off.

[Acegikmo]

Nah, I think there's a cap for falling damage

[franpa]

67 to be precise.

[CyberShadow]

The cap is due to the limit on objects' velocities.

[bonz]

The cap is due to the limit on objects' velocities.
Hurry and de-cap that limit then! :eek:

[Acegikmo]

Isn't the velocity cap moved twice as high in teststuff ?

[CyberShadow]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before - there are several documentation issues in the 3.6.28.0 ReadMe. One of them is the TestStuff description. Here's what should have been there:


TestStuff5: Toggled by entering "/ts" or "/test" in the chat. Enables BattyRope, Rope Knocking, use of weapons during a rope roll, the Indian Rope Trick, worm selection without ending hot seat time, and skipwalking facilitation (up/down/middle arrow keys act like right-clicking while walking); disables loss of control while roping; doubles the maximum speed for roping and jetpacking, and abolishes the speed limit for projectile motion. Also enables Circular Aiming and Anti-lock Power. [TestStuff was supposed to include Girder Radius Assist as well, but this feature was accidentally disabled.]


So, projectile speed limit (which also applies to non-roping worms) is removed in TS5 and also TS3. TS4, which is actually the version described in the ReadMe, isn't enableable unless you use a hacked/custom client.

[bonz]

enableable
Very nice!

[Acegikmo]

Ok, i've tried holding the home button.
It still can't keep up with the speed while falling with /test :)

[franpa]

disabling test would make a better video, because then you would fall at the same speed as what you do in WWP, which i thought this video was aimed at... with /test on, it makes the fall seem rather small and short.

It was disabled :)

I have to admit that since I downloaded this update, I have only played 1 game on a large map, infact I've only played 1 game in total since the update.


And to think that I was going mad waiting for this patch. :eek:
