There Is a Cool server Out there!

[RPG]

Next time you go server-browsing, check out this server:

tropican.no-ip.org:4200

It's got this cool effect that I'm convinced is a bug in BZFS; some of the rain drops (which are bullets) are satationary, some of them move up at a slight pace, some of them go up like their running from fire, and some of them go up so fast that you can only see them in one frame. I thought it was really cool, and had to share it with everyone else.

Hmm... I'll have to check it out, it looks pretty neat.

It's not a bug, just an abuse of the system . BZFS essentially lets you set rain speed and rain speed variation, so you end up with something like "average velocity 100, range 10" so your raindrops fall between 90 and 110 ups. It's possible to set it to have a range which includes both positive and negative numbers (or zero)...like average velocity 5, range 6, means -1 to 11 ups fall rate, so 1/12 of your drops will go up, 1/12 will sit still, and 5/6 will fall at various speeds.

Ye, but how do you explain te fact that they are red superbullets??

[ducatiwannabe]

I think it's /set _rainTexture red_super_bolt.png

[Tropican8]

nope, actually all it is is /set _rainType particle. Also how to I set the 'range' for rainSpeed? The original effect intended (drops going up and down) would be nice to know how to set too
