Thanks

just a FYI

v1.21 is almost out

Because i changed the way the fire is attached to players. i forgot to chagne the size of the fire. Normal size is just to big and gets in the way. The legs now get set to 75% and ares and head fire get set to 50%. This is the way the older version was set!.

I should have this out in about 1 hour.

Thanks

Does it work ok in instant action for you?

If running a server test it by itself. If you are running many mutators i found that some have issues and dont give control back to other mtuators. Place the mutator at the front of the list and test.

Please status back i want this to work for you!

Thanks for the feed back!

How do i order the muts, It orders itself in alphabetical order and will not let me change the order

[KalCorp]

So then you are not starting a server you are doing a instant action? and selecting onfire in the list? if so just run the onfire.

Still get the same thing?. You should see what s in the readme file

[legacy-fat_joe17]

Yea, sorry i didn't say that i was just playing in instant action the first time, thanks for the help

Just downloaded 1.21 for UT2k4 and tried it out.

Looks outstanding, but I do believe I've found a bug - when I caught on fire after getting a successful flag hang, UT turned into a slide show - very poor frame rate, not all the screen drawn each slide, etc.

This didn't go away after I lost my fire either. This has only happened the once, it's not a big deal, but it was disconcerting when it did happen

Is there something in the new code for 1.21 that might cause this behaviour? My specs: 2GHz CPU, 1/2 GB of RAM.

Good work on the mutator, it's otherwise spectacular

To be honest I don’t know. If we cant make the error come all the time then it will be hard to find. I will keep looking.

only thing the code is doing is spawning fire and attaching to the top player on the client.

This mutator is for the Top on the line Systems to look its best. Even I run it on a 4.1Gz system

If you get lag there are some setting to change. One is the tick rate on the fire. this will change the timer function. The default if 0.25 so the fire timer function is called 4 times a sec. This can be change to 1 or even 1.5 for slower systems.

If you see anything and can reproduce the error please tell

Thanks

I feel your pain Don't worry, if I can reproduce it in some sort of reliable way, I'll post the steps. It's not a good use of your time to rescan four thousand lines of code to see if it's doing something dodge.

Thanks for the quick reponse tho! :up:
