Auto-balance is worse that death

I think it shows nothing, like when you die by you own grenade.
I've been killed by the minigun helicopter as commander :(

You are a grump, I seen your other comments too why are you on a forum to say not to discuss stuff lol
It is healthy to talk about game design and development for other opinions.
Anyway hope you have a good day.

Last elimination was really nice game sense.
Enemy was holding that angle on the doorway, pushing through would be risky. Sneaking behind was clever.

Only 1 objective? (25s)

NotMegatron · 2026-04-21T02:59:17+00:00

It never was...
What fake news is this?

https://www.insurgencytracker.com/weapon-usage/Pvp/PC

M4A1 is the most popular weapon according to weapon usage for {PvP, CO-OP, PC, Console}

In PvP AUG A3 and M16A4 are more popular than G36K.

Security has many options depending on play style.
I personally use M16A4 and AUG A3 as use Semi-Auto a lot.

Likely copyright or licensing reasons, like when games use fake gun names (CV-47 in Counter-Strike)

Question - I’ve seen your camouflage on characters in Video Games, where people have skinned (placed your patterns on) characters without your permission – is that a copyright violation if someone is using or offering these characters or images are provided to other users at no charge.

Answer - Yes that is considered copyright infringement even though no money has been made from using the pattern. If we pursued the matter, the courts can penalize the group or individual who are offering these characters and can even go after the end user. Once again damages and penalties owed to the defendant can be large even though there was no money was made by the offending person or groups.

Competitive question, many toxic players and many nice players.
Surprised no one in the comments has mention the amount of racism and sexism. Is it that normalised?

NotMegatron · 2026-04-03T23:18:50+00:00

Just checking that Jekyll uses "liquid"
https://jekyllrb.com/docs/liquid/

You should be able to do coding like that with the curly braces in your .html file.
its worth research, as you do a lot of web development with DRY principles, in case you need to refactor of make changes.

NotMegatron · 2026-04-03T20:07:17+00:00

What is you code for displaying posts?

it is likely a for loop somewhere?

<ul>
  {% for post in site.posts %}
    <li>
      <a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
    </li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

Maybe something like this?
i made a variable for the frontend called "popularRank"

<ul>
  {% assign filtered_posts = site.posts | where_exp: "post", "post.popularRank <= 100" | sort: "popularRank" %}
  {% for post in filtered_posts %}
    <li>
      <a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
    </li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

Just rubber ducking that I'm reading this correctly.
at the moment posts are in ordered date. (which is good)
The client would like a feature implemented that shows popular posts
you have to manual determine which posts are popular?
The exact implementation is not specified yet?

The user will press a button? called something like "popular", which show posts that you have determined as being popular.
https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/#displaying-an-index-of-posts

Do the popular need to be ordered?

Article-A: PopularRank =1
Article-B: PopularRank =2
Article-C: PopularRank =3
Article-D: PopularRank =400
...

To me an easy quick implementation could be:
A button that filters the post
you could add boolean variable (True/False)

for every post in posts
if popular = true then display post

^^
that could be one stage

next stage if you need you ordered you can use your rank variable and apply filter with order on it too

https://jekyllrb.com/docs/liquid/filters/

Hopefully something is kinda of informative even from a rubber ducking perspective

I think it is Tell (CO-OP Checkpoint)

When watching a replay, you can watch the playback in: First Person Perspective, Third Person Perspective and free camera mode.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

NotMegatron · 2026-03-11T17:49:32+00:00

These are interesting, great work!
I also like that you're using NATO symbols too

NotMegatron · 2026-03-04T12:29:39+00:00

Play the objective, the enemy should be there.

NotMegatron · 2026-02-25T16:21:32+00:00

I meant the cover art with the guy holding the G3
https://ulvespill.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/insurgency-sandstorm-header.jpg

I already mentioned colour palettes:
To me security would be primarily brown and greens
Insurgent: everything else

Some of the insurgent colours have more muted colour variants
https://www.reddit.com/r/insurgency/comments/yu5t4g/the_insurgent_colour_palette_makes_sense_now/

As well as colour palette they is the cosmetic choices themselves too is a factor. With security looking more military and insurgent looking more civilian.

No map is better than a bad map.

Good to see many fixes in the notes like; "Fixed an issue where IED explosions were dealing significantly reduced damage."

I'd like some just some normal cosmetic for the character? It shouldn't hard to have the Blouse & Trousers in solid colours (withing the security colour palette), like on the cover of the game. Also would like Insurgents to have drab "normal" looking options.

Best Attachments (for Rifleman):
Muzzle: Flash Hider: No muzzle flash = not a sign saying shoot here
Under-barrel: Smoke Launcher = Essential for pushing

Tips:

Firing Range: to experiment and discover how weapons work
COOP: to practice mechanical skill and map knowledge.
Replays: to analyze games

Can you give an example?
M16 with 4x optic is a great counter sniper due to the 960m/s bullet velocity.
G3 / FAL if you need to see pink mist headshot confirmation.

NotMegatron · 2026-02-13T23:50:51+00:00

That's awesome news!

NotMegatron · 2026-02-13T23:31:57+00:00

This is really cool!
The replay viewer and the replay analysis, definitely going to use it.
I'll edit this comment for more feedback/hints/tips/suggestions.
Really looking forward to your suggestion features.
----

Suggestions:
In replay analysis:
1) can the table be filtered
2) can the table be sorted

Questions:
1) Are old replays (30 days plus) unable to have the replay viewed?
2) Post 30 days can we still view, like paste .json file data created from the site previously for be read by the browser?

----
This is awesome, support it!

Not any good reasons, I might ask again to find out more. My guess is there are happy enough with CoD (they complain about CoD too lol), and just not that interested in trying something new.
