New Monsterhunt version on server.

[=(V)=RocketJedi]

I have added a new monster hunt version with a new redesigned hud and scoreboard.
Also added multiple fixes and enhancements.
Hope you like it :D

EDIT: ehm, images for some reason are being compressed to forum and are very small.

Please report any issues in this thread.

sexy cant wait to take a look. IS it dependent on 469c patch? WE have some lag complaints with 469c and was thinking of going back to 451

edit: ill take a look at the compression settings

Yes it is dependent on 469c and XC_Engine.
I use some specific functions of XC_Engine to replace code in runtime. I should have fixed all 3 mayor crashes that we had. (Also an issue that NW3 cybots attacked monsters even if they summoned it, so now monsters have cybots :D)
Also we now use XC_Monsterhunt core instead of MH2Gold.

Was this lag issues reported for MH or was in general?

lag was specific after patch update. It specifically happens with high FPS scenarios. I will try to test soon after your recent updates.

Also, font should be readable on big resolutions.
@RocketJedi please test on your big 4K screen.
I could only test on my laptop 2k screen resolution.

I'm only at 2k myself lol im not that fancy

oh i forgot to tell RJ, when you did the patch upgrade for servers, it used to play fine on some MH maps even when there's alot of monsters, but now it crashes the moment it feels like there's any overload/lag.

Though, i need to check now with this new verion to see if it still happens.

If you want to check logs for what maybe causes the crash, check the map (uRh_Purgatorium)

Edit1: ok begin testing,, first thing is that it's not 4 jumps in a row anymore, now it's only 3 ?

Edit2: it used to that monsters that have a ton of HP, have their HP lowered when you kill one of them (my english sux, but let's say we have 5 monsters with 1000 HP , when you kill 1 of them, the other 4 return to their "normal" HP that is 300 ... btw this affects only the maps with monsters that have alot of HP, the other maps are fine because all monsters have their default HP anyway.

Edit3: ok, it seems that the crashing issue is no longer happening, well, atleast from what i've tested until now, will let you know if anything else triggers it.

Ok, now I understand the HP monster issue. Is more obvious on map like MH-CrystalMines.
We set a max health a monster can have, and is not being applied correctly right now. It is but only on monsters that doesnt spawn mid game.

yea pretty much all (havoc_urh) maps have monsters with 2 000 000 HP , but when you kill one of them all the others near it go down to 40 000 HP , so yea those maps are pretty much impossible to do now

[=(V)=RocketJedi]

max health doesn't go to 9999 otherwise game is running great for me so far.

[Cross_Eyed_Noob]

max health doesn't go to 9999 otherwise game is running great for me so far.

in the old MH version, when you kill one of those 40 000 HP ones, the giant ones go down to 40 000 HP too instead of 2 000 000 HP, if they can't go down now those maps are pretty much doomed now, and they're the popular ones on the server lol, everytime i join in i see someone playing maps with monsters that have a ton of HP, so the fix would be to cap all their health to the default that is 40 000, or see what caused them to do the earlier explained.

Edit: ok i'm dumb, thought you were talking about monsters health, i guess you were talking about players health, my bad

Tested the crash from crystalmine and it's indeed fixed thank you!

But when i was trying to do it, i noticed that now all monsters hit pretty hard, and it gives the shaky screen that you get when you get hit by a Titan or monsters with IG, so it's kinda unplayable with that effect, i had to take an invincibilty powerup to get to where i can recreate the crash in crystalmines, otherwise i couldn't see anything from how shaky it is x)

I still want to test the health fix but i dont want to end up throwing up from how dizzy i will get

Great to hear that the crash looks to be fixed.
Will see how I can reduce the shake of damage taken from server.

Edit: Done
New version 003
[Added] Added option to control damage shakeness from server.

Currently Shakeness is capped to 300 of damage.

hmm, it's still pretty intense, maybe i didn't explain it in a good way lul

there used to be the shaky screen effect only when you get hit by big monsters (Titans) /or monsters with weapons that do heavy damage like instagib, but now, all hits from normal monsters do the shaky effect when there should be none.

Also, normal monsters hit pretty hard now too, maybe nerf the damage by like half or maybe more ? lol

so i've gone and tested his claims, so i'll juste try and add info on what i've seen changed

for this first claim, i know what he means, monster used to lose the lock on you when you go through a teleportal, now they're smarter so they can follow you through it lol, but it can lead to a bad time when the starting room is small and you find yourself stuck with a millions monsters in it, so the fix would be to see why they can now still be locked on you even after you go through a teleportal.

Also, the little aliens HP is quite high, they used to get one shot by the red weapon but now they're tanky as hell, and their damage needs to be nerfed by like 25% too.

Maybe you can copy paste the monsters stats from the original map that way you don't get frustrated with changing HP/Damage values all the time ?

Screenshot 2023-08-03 232622.png

for this one, the weapons used to not be there at the start of the fight, but when you kill the monsters they drop them, and the FPS issues began when all of the monsters died and their dropped weapons caused lag, so it's not a new issue now.

And also, in that room in the screenshot, there are 2 types of monsters, one with the IG and the others with freezers (NW3), but the ones with freezers used to be another type of monsters and not those we have now, so i guess you can look why some monsters get replaced by new ones in this new version ? because it can be that these new ones have better stats than old ones so it can lead to the same HP/Damage issue stated above.

idk about this one maybe the guy has dementia or something, but the health kegs are the same as before i'm sure. the only difference now is that they spawn faster which is a good change.
