I had my chance to have the SniperDeemer, (Gopo through it out for us) about a day of decision, then MEAT took it and ran with it, (Lucky guy), as I didn't act on it, and his version of it will stay on MRS.

MEAT a Lucky guy?
Perhaps.
But if I'm not mistaking the addition of a scope to a redeemer was my idea and I did offer it to you back in Jan of this year.
We talked about via private message and also on your forum.
At the time you kind of blew me off by saying "it could be an option".
I also mentioned a couple of other ideas or suggestions for your server but again you threw out the word "option".
Then...
I gave you almost two weeks but you didn't grasp my vision so I asked Gopo to build what is now called SniperDeemer.
MEAT a Lucky guy?
More of a generous guy I would say.

But if I'm not mistaking the addition of a scope to a redeemer was my idea and I did offer it to you back in Jan of this year.

* Yep! And Like I said above - (Gopo through it out for us) after your suggestion of a scope and he adjusted it to include one. LOL

We talked about via private message and also on your forum.

* Yep also - we certainly did!

At the time you kind of blew me off by saying "it could be an option".

* I wouldn't say I "blew you off" - I merely stated (and wanted) it as an Option (to Gopo) - where you could have it "ON" or "OFF", but Gopo didn't, (couldn't? or wouldn't?) do it that way.

I also mentioned a couple of other ideas or suggestions for your server but again you threw out the word "option".

* I like things as Options, if possible, so you aren't "stuck" with it all the time.
That way you can make changes if you want. (Turn it ON or OFF)
I do not recall what those ideas or suggestions from you were, but apparently they were not something I wanted? - Not sure. LOL

Then...
I gave you almost two weeks but you didn't grasp my vision so I asked Gopo to build what is now called SniperDeemer.

* "Grasp" your vision? - Huh? - Are you kidding? LOL
Yeah, envisioning a scope on a Deemer is kinda hard - Oh Boy. (kidding)
Seriously, it is not a stretch - I knew what it was (and would be like to play) but I wanted it as an Optional Feature.
Two Weeks? - Well close - it was about exactly one week and your server was running it by then and it was all done. (Jan. 18 or 19th to Jan. 26th 2010) But who's counting?

But, I had a lot of other sticks in the Deemer Fire back then - and still do. (more ideas coming?)
I just didn't act on that one. (fast enough?)
Not a problem at all though, MRS is all good to me, as I have some good Redeemer stuff of my own for sure, both on my servers currently running, and also that may be coming in the future.

MEAT a Lucky guy?
More of a generous guy I would say.

* Yep - I know. LOL - You are the best! - It is all good!

PS: Here is the Whole Posting about this. (Except for the PM's - If Ya'll would like to read it)

Kinda neat to see things develop in the posts though.

Also: I just realized when I went back and looked at all the posts with Gopo (and MEAT too) about Redeemer Development, etc., that I guess that all of this happened right on my forum for the most part.
I guess that SOME good did happen over there LOL, for sure.
Hmmmm - HUTP - The "Father" (or the Womb?, Mother of All?, Home of?, Stomping Grounds?) of all the New 2010 Redeemer mods! - I like it! LOL

That's all you had to say...

I still have a few Deemers that I have yet to introduce.
One that I MAY is a Seeking Deemer or actually more like a Rocket Launcher with loc-on but with a Nuclear Blast.
Another has a Laser Site. LOL but really! LOL

How did I miss this one...the "Seeking" Deemer.
I threw this idea out this gopo last year and we couldn't get it to work.
Just couldn't get the missiles to go around buildings and stuff.
If you get this to work you might finally have something.

And finally got to play your laser mod with Fuzz_Ball tonight.
It seems that the laser site is blocked by the crosshairs.
Plus the laser is hard to see at a distance.
Then again if you could get it to loc-on like a Rocket Launcher
you again might have something.

The Seek-Deemer

I didn't know you asked him too - honest!
Yes, I also submitted this idea to gopo last year, (as the rocket launcher is one of my favorite weapons of all - another is the Redeemer - so I thought "What if you had Both???"), and he came back with one (just to try out) that seems to work for me.
Gopo says it is "buggy" though, so I have yet to use it on the server (online) and Gopo said not to.
I am still testing it out though and will develop it further. (we'll see - soon)

It seems that the laser site is blocked by the crosshairs.

Hey, glad you and Fuzz got a chance to play!
As far as the Laser Site thingy goes...
The server cannot remove the crosshairs for a client (player).
A Player CAN remove the crosshairs though if they wish, leaving the laser dot, in their UT preferences menu or make the crosshairs less visible.
So, it is Up to the Player to decide!
But, it isn't really good at all for aiming, but rather for the warning aspects of it!
WARNING: IF you see a red Laser Flash in your eyes you had better get out of there!
WARNING: IF you see more than your own laser dot on the wall - yeah you guessed it - you had better get out of there!
The best use of this is the "Warning" part of it. (above)
It Warns BOTH the Bots and You of course, so if you flash a bot with your Laser Dot, he WILL respond as he should!

I don't think I sit long enough to have anything flash into my eyes.
hmm...or anyone else for that matter...but...

Roger that. Sit still, DIE!

I've played servers where, if you sit still at all, your killing power is set to zero!

Who said anything about "sitting still"???

[MEAT]

Who said anything about "sitting still"???

Well.....ahh to appreciate, actually see the laser, in the eyes, mod type setup... you'd have to be sitting still.
So....ahh...laser mod...hmm...yeah...okay

Oh not so at all - you can be moving around very fast and still very much see the bright glint of the laser directly in your eyes (on your screen), or as dots on a wall as you run around.
Oh yes, you can for sure see the laser hit you square in the face if a bot or another player points his weapon at you as you are running.
You may not even see that other player or bot say at a distance, but that laser hits you as a flashing glint in your eyes no matter how fast you move or how far away you are.

Yes, I haven't forgot about this "loc-on" featured deemer!
This feature was one that I had asked Gopo to include in the PirateDeemerCMM mod way back last year in 2009, and he started on it but he didn't develop it all the way.
Just some experimental stuff.

I found another good coder a while back (studied under Gopo) that is willing to pick it up and give it a shot...
This "loc-on" feature is on the drawing board of the New "SUPER-Deemer" mod we have been developing and working on for CLD.
I call it "SUPER-Deemer" for now because of a lack of a final name for the mod, and will refer to this mod as "SUPER-Deemer" until it is finalized.
We are currently in the process of working on it right now! (as we speak)
We have a "working" proto of the "Loc-On" right now for testing and we've been working on this for quite a while now.
We are taking our time on this - to get it right!
Hopefully it will all work out good!
Stay tuned!

PS: This "loc-on" feature is one of these...
