The problem is that FF2 uses charge values 4 times larger than VSH does. You'd think that'd make you jump farther, but we're using an algorithm involving Sine...

The algorithm we're using does this to get the X and Y velocity:
(1+Sine(float(HaleCharge) * FLOAT_PI / 50))

For VSH, you'd get: 1 + Sine(25.0 * pi / 50) = 2
For FF2, you'd get: 1 + Sine(100.0 * pi / 50) = 1

These are multiplied by the current velocity. In other words, VSH is moving the X and Y coordinates twice as far on every game frame. At 66 game frames per second, you can see that'd make quite a difference.

TL;DR Try this new version, where we divide the charge value by 4, which should double the horizontal distance crossed every gameframe.

Edit: Fixed the vertical calculation slightly.

No dice. It's not the huge superjump it was doing before, but vertical and horizontal is unchanged from the original.

I'll be honest, I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working. There should have been a noticeable change of some sort when I divided the charge value by 4.

Something seems a bit off about the compile info for the last smx I posted... I may have posted the wrong version. Here's another copy of it just in case.

(When I say different compile info, the numbers it spit out were different, and on a hunch, I ran a diff against them and got this:
"Binary files default_abilities.smx and default_abilities (1).smx differ")

[realwx]

Just tried it, and no change still. =(

I keep comparing code and see no difference, but there must be something affecting vertical superjump... maybe it's actually effecting everyone?

power about beta 1.7 just let us know how we can help bud

Oh wow I completely missed setting the convar this time around. (I blame it being 4am >_<) Enabled it and it works! Thanks again Powerlord.

It doesn't look like I'm going to be done with it tonight... maybe tomorrow or Friday.

I thought about asking if you'd set the cvar, but I just assumed it was previously set in a config file.

I'll include this version of default_abilities.ff2 in the next version when I push it out.

Nice to see the jumping back to the old VSH style.
Thanks Powerlord.

Also, does anyone have a problem where people can taunt before the setup round ends and turn into a civilian?

Oh, is that what is causing that? Makes me tempted to try and block it.

Also, definitely didn't get beta done yesterday. On the bright side, I took a 12 hour long "nap" after work... (well, more like 7 hour nap followed by 5 more hours of intermittent sleep)
