CTF: CRHook fixes & Improvements (thanks inf1niti!)
- add
k_ctf_hookstylecvar for votable hook options: smooth (default), fast, classic (see below for details) - remove annoying looped grapple sounds for simpler axe swish(throw) and axe hit (anchor) sounds
- improve balance of haste-hook implementation, make grapple speed a factor of haste power
- move rune sounds to a more appropriate channel (jump no longer cancels sounds)
- decouple hook delay from weapon switch/fire (delay subsequent hooks, not RL/LG/ETC)
- fix chain clear bug, improve hook animation smoothness
Note: you need to update your server config! replace k_ctf_cr_hook with k_ctf_hookstyle - add
k_ctf_rune_bounce[1,2,3] cvar for toggling bouncing runes (see below for details)
k_ctf_hookstyle
This lets players decide between three styles of grappling hook.
k_ctf_hookstyle 1: smooth hook (default)
votable with hook_smooth, 51% player vote threshold required
The smooth hook implements some new features to help balance CTF gameplay
- throw speed has been reduced from cr_hook (1200 -> 1050), while still being faster than the classic hook (800)
- player acceleration from the hook pull runs through an easing function, giving the hook an overall "smoother" feel
- implements a fire delay, limiting "hook spam" approach, encouraging more common movement mechanics (bhop)
- the hook throw is cancelable, after a short delay
- adds "cancel time" of 0.5s to initial throw (no spam)
- adds linear accel/decel to hook velocity changes (no immediate speed change)
- adds fire delay to repeated grappled (no spam)
- reduce grapple velocity from 1200 to 1050
k_ctf_hookstyle 2: fast hook
votable with hook_fast, 51% player vote threshold required
the fast hook is closest to the existing cr_hook implementation, but the speed has been reduced based on community feedback
- uses the same speed settings as smooth hook
- no hook pull acceleration/easing, or fire delay
- the hook throw is immediately cancelable
- reduce grapple velocity from 1200 to 1050
k_ctf_hookstyle 3: classic hook
votable with hook_classic, 51% player vote threshold required
the classic hook uses the original 3wave settings
- hook throw speed is slower (800)
- no hook pull acceleration/easing, or fire delay
- a hook throw cannot be canceled until the grapple hits a surface
k_ctf_rune_bounce
This functionality is carried over from PureCTF Pro.
cvar works as follows:
1 = bouncing droprune (spawn).
2 = bouncing tossrune.
3 = both enabled.
