I found some bugs in the new Open Arena patch 0.8.8
Since there is new music the program tells me from time
to time that the music file isn't 22k.obviously the
program expects the music file to be something else.
please get rid of the warning message or change
the format expectation.

there are also some graphical bugs in the map
oasago2 i posted a picture so you can see what i mean
and what to do about it.

Also i'm not ok with the Grappling Hook how it currently is.
it shouldn't make constant shooting noises
when holding down left mouse(which you need to do or the hook will disappear
after it has been shot).it's ok that it disappears but please don't
cycle the shot when holding down left mouse because thats
highly annoying.
also why going back from the future to the past?
the hook now looks like an old hook with a rope i guess.
sure before it used a rocket?and a lightning gun beam.
they should just have changed the lightning texture of the beam and
the rocket hook thing to something else but not an old iron hook.
also the hook should dissapear from the weapon when it has been shot
everything else wouldn't make sense.

The Gargoyle looked better before and i am not the only
person saying this.make him look like before again.

Oh and please add the new Neko model as a forum picture Smiley

To think that we had a lot of testing time. -.-

Gotta check those texture glitches in sago2, I swore to have them fixed.

Also, it seems that lei/FH forgot to pack the fixed oa_bases7. -.-

The grapple hook uses its own shader and model by design because there wasn't any. The "original" lightningbolt and rocket use were placeholders by id, and they weren't even precached in the original code either! Besides, leaving it like that would cause confusion with legitimate lightning and rockets

I thought the light shaft clamp bug was fixed in the texture itself?

The "is not 22k" bug is a ioq3 bug they never fixed since they implemented ogg music ages ago.  The 22k warning shouldn't even be relevant anymore as it's done for when Q3 regressed a part of the sound system around the 1.27 patch while removing A3D support, breaking the use of variable mixing rates

I'll sort the neko avatar thing, that's one thing I forgot.

i know they were only placeholders.
and i don't want you to leave it liek it is.
as i have written above you just could change
the lightning texture and the hook to something
futuristic.because now the hook looks like an
old iron hook with a rope.

and here another graphic bug.i think this one should be known.
it's in oa_bases 7 near the flag.what do you call this?
texture clipping bug?nevermind just do something about this please.
i'm sure you know what to do because i can't explain it in english.
it mostly happens when you put two objects in the same cooardinates.
so you just have to make on of those two objects a lil bit smaller or bigger
in one direction often one or two pixels smaller is enough.

oh oki.but what about the hook?
he hook is very important for me
and it really shouldn't make constant shooting sound
and animation while holding left mouse click and don't
forget to make the hook disappear from the weapon when shot Smiley

Agree, because it will affect the gameplay with this weapon a lot (since sound is a big part of the gameplay).

I like how I get useful feedback on the grappling hook art months after I implement it with months of test releases since.

Sorry, I admit that I never use the grappling hook myself, so what I say is mainly a general thinking. I don't even know if an OA map actually implements it?

Well, I don't remember the exact thread now... but I asked something about the hook some months ago.
At that time, someone answered pointing out that the most weird part of the grappling hook animation was experienced when the player was using "Liz" model (for some reason, using that player model animates the hook in a different and more annoying way than normal).

Maps don't need to. The grapple exists so far as back in vanilla Q3, but it was always a "dummied out" weapon. Only from 0.8.5 onwards it's functionality was completed. (0.8.5 already has many options regarding it) 0.8.8 has the weapon fully modelled and working.

Liz crouch animation has been quite fixed in 0.8.8 (not related with Liz grapple odd animation).

I don't know if any official map has got the grapple item. If you want to test it, you can play in Elimination, LMS, CTF Elim modes (or in any other mode with g_elimination 1) with elimination_grapple 1.

Update: found the previous posts about the grapple animation:
http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=4356.msg41141#msg41141
http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=4356.msg41173#msg41173
http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=4356.msg41188#msg41188
http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=4356.msg41192#msg41192
etc. .....
the strange animation is with Liz... but the repeated, annoying sound, always affects the use of grapple.

i'm already using the grappling hook on two of my servers.
i know why the repeated sound and so on is tehre.
because it uses a normal weapon script i guess.
and normal weapons repeat their shots.
someone needs to make a custom script for the grappling hook.

Maybe a fixed grappling script could be included in the OA 0.8.8 hotfix?
