Telefrag?

Bleeder · Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2002 4:04 pm Post subject: Telefrag?

Hello All,

For the past couple of days I have been studying NeoTF so that I at least know what my options are as I die playing on TV2. I made a huge matrix of what every class can do and then set up a bunch of binds.. yada yada yada.

So I started studying the Scout with its teleport ability and the manual says you can telefrag those around the teleporter. I have been trying this out on random Neo servers to no effect.

My question: does the telefrag work? How close do people have to be?

Would anyone be willing to let me telefrag them for experimental purposes?

Thanks,

Mike

BTW any other n00bs that want my little matrix of skills, let me know. Sure helped me to lay them out.

I know telefrag works on tv2 because it has happened to me. When you teleport, you will see rings come from the disc and I think that is the telefragging range.

I'm not sure about the telefrag, I'm not even sure what it does. Your matrix of binds and stuff would be useful, I would be interested in them. You should post them on here.

Is that the same as when you die, for no apparent reason, before exiting respawn?

It's the same Idea, but not the same thing. A telefrag is when another player suddenly appears in the same space that you're in already(like in spawning). You can't have two people overlap, so the person who is already there dies. Problem solved, but it still pisses me off. Neo's only difference is that it's intentional and you get points for doing it to somone. It won't give you points for a spawn frag, tho.

I had someone trying to do that to me last night. I pissed him off instead by freezing and cooking his sorry little arse #Fist

It wasn't me last night.. I've been on other, non ville servers to practice.

Yes, BRN you are quite good at freezing people..

Another thing I noticed when I dropped my teleport disc in visual range of an enemy sg. It appeared to just keep shooting my disc. Seems like that might be useful to distract sgs while other players make their moves.

Of the scout skills I like the best, Ring of Shadows is my favorite. I enjoy standing directly in front of an unnattended sg and filling it full of lead.

My matrix is in quattro pro/excel.. Is there a place I can upload it for people to look through?

It doesn't have my binds, because I use dual layered binds. That is, I use the mwheel to change modes. Like when I'm playing soldier, I use mwheelup to remap my mouse keys to fire rockets, bombs and hellfires from the remote. Then I use mwheelup to go back to normal game mode when the remote is gone. I've done something similar with the Scout, changing my mouse keys from grenade mode to teleport mode with mwheelup.

I may not be a superstar in the game, but I'm a darn good programmer.

I ran into another problem yesterday though.. I installed the NeoTF dlls onto my computer so I could practice my binds from home when I couldn't respawn anymore. No amoutn of clicking, button pushing or console commands would allow me to respawn. I changed back to regualr TFC dlls and the problem went away. Anyone know anything about that?

Alright, I talk too much.
