How the hell are you running the game,TBBC is right now running the game and because of him we still play game,I dont see your work in new MS except you are makeing problems.Your problem is that you dont play game and think you know the best.You listen to some stupid noobs that dont know what is overrun.MS is savior patch not bug fixer update/patch.Your problem is that you lost battle with custom maps and now you wanna make more problems.
You're right that the MSP is not a bug fixer patch really. It's sole purpose is to get multiplayer working again.
But then if you're upset over the idea of a stagger exploit being removed, why not be upset over other exploits that have been removed in the msp? There were some removed in 2.1. If that's the case you should be angry at TBBC? The logic just doesn't make sense.
As much as I hate stagger, I know many like it. It should be at least a toggable option for server admins to disable/enable.
The worst thing is that some players hook up a macro to shoot with the pulse gun. I've seen it used many times.
Btw, it was originally my idea to start adding maps to the AvP2 master server patch. I came up with the idea of introducing the PH maps because the PH server was down and we thought it would always be down at the time due to the lack of a source code for PH.
I brought the idea to Jeff (aka The One) of
lithfaq.com (who originally hosted the patch) and x-M-x. x-M-x liked the idea and wanted to add custom maps in as well. We brought the idea to Herr Alien, who was the author of the savior mod (MSP) and he liked it and agreed to do it. So both Jeff, x-M-x and I ran through a ton of maps.
Initially, we tried to pick balanced maps. I picked the PH maps and TDS Pods because pods is 95% created by Monolith already.
Jeff picked waterstation and korari compound, and x-M-x picked the others (Broken Dream). Herr Alien agreed with our choices and added them to the Savior mod. The PH maps went in first if I remember correctly.
Go look up
lithfaq.com on the wayback machine, or ask Herr Alien, The One, x-M-x, etc. You'll see my story sticks.
I bring this up because you guys (not just you) constantly bash x-M-x and seem to disregard the history of the savior mod's/msp's development. I know what you're all saying, Kenny's buddies with x-M-x so he's backing him up. True....
But what's also true is that he's been helping to support the MSP since the day it was made. Yes TBBC is coding it now and is doing most of the work (a damn good job too I must say), but x-M-x does contribute in various ways and you still bash the guy when you weren't even around posting about the patch back when
lithfaq.com was up and hosting the master server.
Now he had put a halt on custom maps going into the MSP because there was a disagreement on some mappers being ignored from getting their maps considered and a concern over the msp becoming a map pack. So he pulled the maps reluctantly. People were upset, so he puts a poll out which largely looks like custom maps will return. So he's listening to all the feedback of what people want. Maps will probably be voted in now.
I don't understand the hate. He asked Herr Alien to pickup the the savior mod and further see its development. He built a website promoting AvP2 (and in the future will host the custom content built for the game), promotes the MSP on every AvP site and responds to all the feedback people post (good/bad as long as its constructive criticism). He also revived
avp2files.com back when that site was dead and wasn't accepting any mods/maps/skins/whatever. Not to mention he released his own skins for the game.
That's a lot of contributions. I don't see him "making problems" at all.
