Relic of Redemption: Useless?

[Idle Idol]

**REPLACED THE DEMO FILE WITH A NEW ONE THAT WORKS. IT HAS THE SAME NAME. JUST WRITE OVER THE OLD ONE OR WHATEVER . SORRY. THANKS KINDNESS**

I think NOT!
(this demo is done on CTF-Laputa][ (http://www.unrealplayground.com/maps.php?game=ut&type=ctf&search=laputa) - it must be installed to run properly)

How to use this file:
1) Download the file provided in the link below (lapredeemed.dem)

2) Place it in your UnrealTrounament's System Direcotry (default is C:\UnrealTrounament\System)

3) Boot up UT, bring up the console, and type "demoplay lapredeemed"
*If you do not have the map CTF-Laputa][ installed properly, the game will likely crash.

4) Enjoy =)

Now, no more complaining that redemption is useless :)

I had to install Jailbreak III (http://www.planetjailbreak.com/) and RocketArena 1.60 (http://www.planetunreal.com/arena/) to view the demo.

Damn you're fast, Idol.

This being Boot Camp, you might explain that you are taking advantage of a feature of the redemption relic, that by placing your translocator disc and then dying (from the fall), you are able to respawn and translocate back to the dropped flag.

Nice show!

[Blackshado]

Very nice.

A good way to add a different route to confuse defenders. And god knows noone can follow you down, lol.

One thing that annoys me is how your xloc puck dissapears after a certain amount of time. Like, you could have left your puck on that ledge and made some kind of crazy flag drop, but it probably would have dissapeared before you got there.

Unless I'm wrong and the puck stays there indefinitely, it would be nice to be able to change the puck's staying time.


Hmm, thinking about crazy flag runs reminds me of landing on slopes and minimizing damage from falls. Lets say there was a slope you could have landed on in that demo, would you have taken damage? Its something I need to explore...

--Idle, back to work

[Idle Idol]

There, replaced the file on the FTP with a new one that works. Stupid server packages, thanks kindness.

--Idle, dumass

And my trans has been hidden places for as near as I can tell, uhm...forever. I've never had any unexpected pullbacks. maybe i'm wrong though, wouldn't be the first or last time ;)

shhhh! They have to think of some things themselves!

(pistoning to stop downward motion while sliding down a slope is also something to consider. And if your exploring laputa, there is a VERY evil flag hiding spot along the bridge somewhere)

--Idle, oh de do da day

[Sinnical]

i love how someone kills you and the relic drops you back within 5 feet of the place you died. happens like 3 times aday

[Blackshado]

Hmm, I have some exploring to do on Laputa then... :evil:

One odd question:

Is it possible to get redemption telefragged? I was telefragged out of nowhere by a bot on S1 yesterday, and was wondering if that was possible. Would be freaking hilarious if that's what actually happened.

Oh, and on a somewhat related note, I've been telefragged more than once by bots on my own team. What's up with that? :hammer:

[Idle Idol]

by bots on your own team i dunno why that is allowed, but it is. weird

yes you can be xloced by a redemption save, but it's VERY rare. happened maybe twice in my life, once by siab on squirrelrun...bitch.

--Idle, no sig

[Squirrelinabox]

Huh? i telefragged you when I redeemed? didn't know that was possible.

You sure you weren't standing on a spawn point?

That often happens at the beginning of a game when there are too many players (or not enough spawn points, depending on your point of view). My guess would be that each time a player (re)spawns, their team is initially set to a null value and it gets set to the correct value a fraction of a second later.

[Idle Idol]

no, bots xloc you sometimes offline, i've seen it happen. it's weird

and i thought it was you siab, might be wrong.

and i surely hope it wasn't me standing on a spawnpoint that got me killed that round. because i KNOW it was someone on the other team (they got a farking flag return out of it, ugh) and i was on MY side of the map. so if they were respawning there, something is screwy =)

--Idle, sploding

[{chey}UN*REAL]

Speaking of telefragging.........




Sorry IDLE for type killing ya last nite......


I was just x-locing along and there ya was..........and before ya knew it ....:dunno:




Well anyway ...................:D














hope I can do it again sometime...........it is about the only time I get to kill ya.......
















:evil: :D

[SoBeiT]

Something fun about killing Idol when he's idle... :dunno: just Fun :evil:

[Ghost_of_War]

Interesting how some people are using their translocators these days. IMO, the translocator is what makes UT so great. If you want to see some mind boggling tele use, spec Bigglesworth|MSR sometime... he does $hit with his translocator that makes your head spin.

Completely unable to stop Biggz,

GoW.

[|SAD|_Kaotik]

Does Bigglesworth play here?

[Idle Idol]

not that I have seen

--Idle, xlocaliscioisioioistastic

[King Mango]

Idle I get a 404 error on that link pointing to your demo. So all I need to do is dl laputa to run that demo?

[Idle Idol]

mango: i accidentally deleted the demo from my ftp, it's been reuploaded. So try downloading again :)

--Idle, sorry

[Doofus]

Heh. Cool demo. Now all of a sudden I've discovered a bunch new tricks on that map, which normally bores the crap out of me.

Somehow, every once in awhile, I am able to dodge from the redeemer platform all the way to the lip of the pit, suffering no damage. Haven't figured out how to recreate it...yet. I'm carrying a charged piston at the time.

Piston slides on the pit slope. :)

Redemption relic? We don't need no stinkin' Redemption relic. :) I recorded a demo, but for some reason, it doesn't play back...just black, except for the cap sound at the end. No other sounds or visuals. I am able to play back other demos, but today, I am unable to record/playback mine....?????WTF? Anyone recognize this problem?

To stop recording a demo....stopdemo??

[Doofus]

Okay, figured it out; looks like for some reason it doesn't like to record demo when wearing cow skin.
