Everyones been complaining and I figured jits had his reasons for slowing it down but it has been messing up everyones gameplay and made some of the older more experienced players terrible...

vote? hopefully?

It's a server setting. Any server admin that wants to can easily change it back, or to whatever they want for that matter.

Exactly - this is a server side setting. Complain to your local server admin to correct it.

im pretty sure PiCaSSo and Snipen said despite their best efforts, the ball speed was hardcoded

i also remember eR33t members getting raged and that wouldnt make sense since they run their own match servers.

if im wrong though, change it to back to the original in the b21 default

The ball speed is NOT hardcoded. It's a server setting, it always has been. You misheard, or they were messing with you.

FlaMe · « **Reply #8 on:** February 08, 2008, 09:28:18 PM »

can someone get me the number for the ballspeed value and/or the server command so i can give em to Snipen

The reason why GT's were the last to be updated was because snipen didnt want the new ballspeed but i dont think he comes on here very often. I can probably catch him or Doug on vent though.

It's not hardcoded, but it won't change if you put it in a config file. You need to change it *after* the server has started.

if GT puts it in the server config file in their FTP and resets the servers itll work...?

and do you know the command / value for the b19 speed

sk89q · « **Reply #11 on:** February 08, 2008, 09:46:04 PM »

Nope. They'll have to start the server up and then change it from the console, in-game via cvar_set, or via RCON.

That's silly. Can this feature request be changed to "Tweak: Allow ball speed to be defined in the server config"?

EDIT: The ball speed actually resets every map change. Apparently it is 'hardcoded', in at least one sense. This really should be fixed ASAP.

Thanks Eric, Knew I wasn't making it up =P

Dont mean to double post so don't kill me... but...

I do like it being hardcoded only due to the fact servers shouldn't have different ballspeeds nor allowed to make different ballspeeds because that will throw off gameplay for most players

I say just restore that default number back to the b19 value in b21? =\

Here's something else to discuss:

WHen clans match, will ball speed be discussed when deciding what maps to match on?

That'd be ridiculous, I think all of the older, established clans which keep the IRC community alive would agree they want the ballspeed changed back to its build19 and lower state

The old ball speed was cool. I say just switch it back

blaa · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2008, 09:47:49 AM »

If it changed, then preferably as a game setting and not as a server setting. And it better be changed fast or leave it be.

Eric

Thaaaat's not my name. >_>

EDIT: Okay, maybe it's actually best that the ball speed is hardcoded. Hardcoded means standardized. I think next time the ball speed is changed, jits needs to inform people as it was kind of slipped under the radar this time around. But as long as it's properly announced, I don't see why a ball speed change can't happen.
