2.4lame 14:20h 13.12.2006
This is a little update before the actual new beta which should be out in a few days.
It's just so I can get my balancing of the new values right. So this will not last long!
Download:
2.4Lame updated
Unzip the .u file into ut2004\deathball\system
Only install this over 2.4k.
2.4lame Changes:
-Backspin shots are harder now, which makes the hardest shot in the game at about 216km/h max
-Backspin aiming improved. A hard backspin shot now goes almost exactly to your crosshair.
-Topspin shots do not accelerate so fast anymore: at about 203 max
[edit]
the menuscreen still says 2.4kickit, ignore that :P

I like the bug where you can't pick it up. The ball always bounces off you.

look, the ONLY thing that has been done to k is a change of some shotpower and banana values.
posted by 01:45:07h 15.12.2006
Don't you think that if the ball is moving faster the game is more likely to miss a state change?
Don't get me wrong. I have no idea if this version is more buggy or not. As you say, nothing fundamental has changed

the new top spin speed is great.
but now the back spin is ridiculous.
instead of favoriting the top spin shots, players are gonna switch to back spin.
why not MAKE THEM EQUAL?
fs! or as equal in speed as you possibly can without ruining it further.
one shot shouldn't be THAT much better or faster than the other like it was in k and now l.
it should come down to which type of shot you want to make with these spins, a roller/bouncer or a floater/hanger.
not which has the best speed and is most likely unsavable within a certain distance.

What, Deathball?
I would imagine that was intended, what with this site being for deathball etc
