| Quoting skytiger | BIG PROBLEM !!!!!!! I have a 8800GT card, i run PF, but as some of you know, im a rail addict, and here comes the problem : when i use rail, instead of red people, they appear blue - a light blue, and i cant hit sht now  ... Censored ???? Please someone take care of this ... Thanks !!!!!!!! |
I myself am a good railer and the only problem I have seen so far is the lastnight me and another guy was having a rail fight and there was a big box between us so we was using the thermal scope to see each other and the light blue would blend into the box so much that I could hardly see him even though I was on a normal server I was handycapped by using Pure Faction since he didnt have the color shifting on his end.
I do like the color shifting though if in fact there was a problem with people using colorbots but it would be nice to have the colors bright enough to be able to be seen.
I personally know there are many awesome railers that never used colorbots or anything, it just took years of practice to learn to master the most advanced weapon in RF.
I still don't have a problem nailing people as long as they are in direct view so this should show us the people that have been using colorbots if all of a sudden they can't hit anything. |

Exactly my point ! I even didnt know colorboting exist ( or autoaim or aimbot ), never needed and never will ... still ... its very difficult to aim with that light blue clour ...... the rail is indeed the best weapon in RF ( and the batton ROFL), if u know how to handle it . I still think that the original colour - red was better ! |

Sugestions:
-Do you guys know FEAR ?
Well in fear they made great use of grenades. is it possible to throw a grenade just by pressing (fore example) G ? + more velocity because they move way to slow.
-more information about Pure Faction when someone joins a server and he does not have it.
People allways ask "what does it do"
-other color then blue for the rail scanner, lets say red to purple/black ?
-Remove score when spectating
-If possible, display it at scoreboard what people are spectating
More to come. |

Grenades don't have an ammo pickup like other guns. When you go to restock grenades the game sees the pickup as the weapon, and with "weapon stay" turned on your ammo isn't restocked by weapon pickups, just ammo pickups. Understand? |

I agree that the core game should remain untouched. Certain issues do need to be addressed, though. As previously mentioned the ammo clip issue, to name one. The important parts to game play have remained intact; TrotSkie did an excellent job with that. I look forward to the next release. |

| Quoting shadymike | its good like it is now, u shouldnt change too much.
only things i would suggest is, which isnt so good atm
-changing weapons takes now about 1-2 seconds
for example if u shoot a rocket and then quickly want to shoot with Assault Rifle or other weapon, u have to wait 1-2 seconds. thats pretty annoying and during that time you are often already dead.
other than that, very good job, thanks a lot |
Thats to combat glitching. It's not acually 1-2 seconds, but about 200ms (1/5 of a second)
M3TAL, Mods... They haven't been offically tested as of yet, but I'm sure some compatibility for -cmd line mods will be available in a future release. |

Thats not all acually. The fact that it will be supported means that any new cheats or glitches people come up with will be blocked within a few days at the most.
Pure will also be mandatory for players in RFCL  |

My only suggeston is maybe change the blue on the rail scope. Can you just rotate yellow through orange to red back through?
Its enough of a difference to throw off the aimbots surely? but not enough for a person to not be thrown off.  |
Trying to find old players. Anyone about? Drop me a PM or reply to this thread:

I can see the rail thermal scope being a big issue(It is for me anyways). Not only does the blue blend in, but dead players laying around blend in to the live player as well. The color should at least start out as red or some color that doesn't match the players laying around on the floor.
Is there really a rail color bot? This is the first ive heard of this. Is it that big an issue ? Ive played with railers that seem to hit me no matter how i move .I always thought they just had a good camp spot. |

I never heard of it either, but they said that it was more of a factor in competetive league play then everyday, not quite as good, player use.  |

nah - Rail colorbots have always been very big in the competitive community sadly.
Beatonator - Any color that has any G on it cannot be used (As in RBG: Red Blue Green) so only RB can be used, as is now. The reason for this is that if any green is in the color at all, the fact that the rail scope itself is green means that the player is very intense and hard on the eyes.
Blue doesn't really blend in on anything I've used it on - And I've been using it for the past week. Dead bodies in RF are the same color as live ones while dieing, but once they are dead, they have no heat signature at all. Even if they did, You'd be in serious trouble if you couldn't tell the difference between the heat signature of a corpse and a moving, live player. |

Or just let it direct to the PF download link... which would never change, just have the file updated when a new version is available.
It's a good idea and I hope it'll work. I'll ask Trot if he's willing to have this done. |

Unfortunately, in all my previous correspondence with Volition: Volition will not support Red Faction - no updates, no fixes or anything.
The only thing that we are guaranteed is the Game Tracker, thanks to the ongoing generosity of Mr. Allender.
Altho - I will mention Pure Faction in my next communication. |
