Thats better than before.

Hell, back when I started Flayra wanted heavies to be a requirement before L3 upgrades....

That would be nice if it worked out like that.

Wyz all the waypoints work in beta6, not sure what this latest change is. I think moveto is the default "go to your waypoint" thing, so you wouldn't be able to check for hives that way. It's like trying to drop a marine rt when an alien rt is there already, it gives the waypoint there.

so, if its out for the const. members.. or going to be out for them, and the site is down, is there another way to donate?

Site will be up before the consti test starts. The STEAMIDs will have to be entered into the new site in order to register with the auth server, which will allow constis to both get their icons and get access to the beta servers. Consti registration on the new site is 100% automated and automatic, icons appear within 2 hours of donating.

cool. adj you are now titled as 'all knowing'... or something, at least until i find something you dont know..

**TheAdj`** · 12-18-2004, 09:23 PM

Plenty of things I don't know.

**Wyzcrak** · 12-18-2004, 10:22 PM

Well, duh Adj.

I wasn't thinking. Yes, of course it's the default waypoint. It sounds as if you could use waypoints in b5 to find alien structures. This is simply stating that that "bug" has been fixed, not that a "feature" is being added.

Thanks for the clarification.

No the problem was the "attack target at waypoint" waypoint worked on alien structures, cloaked or not. This fixes that.

Which is EXACTLY what Wyz just said... is it not?

**Pokerface** · 12-19-2004, 02:53 PM

It is not. In b5, you can click around a room, and if you hit a structure, you'll get an "Attack Target" waypoint, whether you can see the structure or not. In b6 (it would seem) you no longer get this behavior, and instead always get a "Move To" waypoint, regardless of a [visible or invisible] structure being there.

**TheAdj`** · 12-19-2004, 03:33 PM

It's actually almost impossible to get anything beyond "Moveto" in b5, unless you're running the plugin to fix the waypoints. The others are EXTREMELY rare. When waypoints were added to beta6 they have the same problem they do with the b5 plugin: You can find hidden structures and aliens by clicking around as commander. This change fixes that exploit.

So I thought.

But it matters none. I'm just glad we all understand now.

A big thanks to Adj for his "insider info" angle on all of this. It's good to have someone around in the know!
