Pistol bullets are affected by gravity too. I think it would be misleading way too often to be useful.

The shotgun was overpowered a little while after 0.3.0 (before which the granades were the most used weapon). They fixed that for 0.3.1 and I didn´t hear anyone complaining about that. I wouldn´t worry.

In fact I think making it slightly too powerful first might actually be good since then people will use it more and we´ll get to know how good it is faster. But of course, should always aim at getting it just right . In either case, I´m sure they will get it right eventually.

What he said.

For the art I´d suggest a tweak on that sniper art but with some thing with lenses instead of the silencer - it looked awesome . I also, for some unknown reason, really like that the ray is blue.

Shootme: You are wrong. cl_show_player_ids=1 is not an rcon command. I also thought it was first but when I tried typing it it didn´t work. No, it is as I already explained in my rewrite of the doc above, one of the variables in the file called default.cfg in the config directory. If you use windows I´d suggest opening that file with notepad to change the variable.

and it´s f2 you press to type commands, not f1.

edit: I stand corrected. Two wrongs made a right I didn´t know of . How come f1 isn´t mentioned in any doc?

All the information you ask for is in the Docs files, allthough it isn´t very pedagogically explained. To be completely honest with you, I had some trouble with it myself when I decided to try rcon out.

Since I´m pretty good at explaining things, I thought I´d give a shot at improving it. What comes next in this post is basicly a copy of the Docs file on rcon, but rewritten to be easier to understand (devs, feel free to copy this if you like it).

Using remote console

To be able to remote control your server, follow these steps:
1. Set rcon_password in your server config and start the server
(see the "Setting up a Server" document for details)
2. Set the same password in the client, available under settings, network in the game gui.
3. Join the server as a player

Now you can press F2 (configurable) and enter commands to the server.

All commands are in the form of assigning a value to a variable. For example, if you want to change the map used on the server to dm1, you write:
sv_map=dm1

All variables that are available in the config are available though the remote console.
(see the "Setting up a Server" document for all the config variables)

There are also a few more commands, listed below.

sv_status=1
This will print all the clients, their score and ip to the console.

sv_kick=id
Kicks a player from the server.

id is a number. To ba able to see the id of all players, set cl_show_player_ids=1 in the teewars config file of your client. In Windows, you can find this config file by doubleclicking on config_directory.bat in the directory you have Teewars. It´s called default.cfg. With that variable set you will see every player´s id to the left of their name on the scoreboard (when you press tab ingame).

sv_msg=my message
Use this to broadcast messages to all the clients.

sv_map_reload=1
Reloads the current map. Use this when you want the same map but another gamemode. Changing the gamemode variable won´t trigger a game restart, and thus it only takes effect after changing map or using this command.

Rcon, as in remote control. Basicly it´s commands for remote controlling the server your´e playing on.

It has too be a server with an rcon password and you need too have that password written in settings. Then it´s just to press F2 (unless you changed the controls too something else) and write the commands. Most rcon commands changes one variable or another, like what map is used on the server or which gametype.

I don´t see why not.

Higher jump, faster running speed and shield against projectiles from below?

Logaritmic speed increase (evenly getting harder and harder but no real limit)?

I agree with matricks that making running faster is a good idea.

Robot legs would be a great Tee Vehicle. They get legs the same way we get wheels .

What person on a university wouldn´t understand the charm of teewars?

If you run with onlu 3 or 2 life you´ll probably not escape if your opponent can handle the pistol properly. Most can´t since it´s a weapon easily missed, but it´s really good at killing off a wounded tee quickly.

Also, although running is no doubt easier than chasing, that still don´t mean that running from a "pro" is easy.

But I still agree that there´s a problem. You can run way before your´e on 3 or 2 life, and then even the pistol won´t bite. I don´t think changing the life is a good solution though, the elegance of exactly 10 hearts and all damage in whole numbers is something I would consider holy. My hope is that the sniper will solve the runner issue.

I don´t agree with you n this one, but I guess it´s just a matter of personal taste. Pherhaps an option in settings would be proper.

Teewars has a very smart dev team, I don´t believe they would do that mistake.
