Half Ff?

<div class="IPBDescription">friendly fire ..</div>I was just playin ns, and for some reason, the server had friendly fire on, but you could only shoot your own buildings, not your own players. so of course we get this **obscenity** who went around destroying all our buildings. I'm sure this is a server setting but I think it's fairly pointless to even have it at all, either have full FF so you can tk the **obscenity** whos destroying your base, or none at all.
anyways, it was very frusterating and **obscenity** off everyone on our team, i think some kind of PLAYER vote needs to be put in, just like the "boot the commander".
i know this is all the admins fault for putting those settings, atleast i think? cause this has never happened before but IT REALLY **obscenity** ME OFF

The self killing buildings has been fixed for the next server release, when it will come out "When it is done" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

With true FF on, you hurt only your fellow players (not buildings I think).

they should be able to kill their buildings with ff on...because if they can't kill the buildings they'll just kill the players so there is no point in being able to kill the ppl and not the buildings.

thats just my $.02

FF on buildings has a point tho
You have to be a bit more conservative with the hmg around your own base when that skulk slips by and hides behind the structures.

A simple voting system to kick players would fix the problem, no?

friendly fire was not on. it was off, but that setting has a bug coz people can still destroy their own buildings. we've had so many stories like yours. i'm sure the programmer is working on fixing it.

I played a game today and the admin told me it was on tournament mode (after a few WTF's etc.)
I only realised when a LMG'er skipped past my offence chambers and my team mate came to aid me and jumped between the marine and the chambers and died from their fire...
FF is fine in tourney mode, but I think being hurt by your own buildings is harsh. The buildings dont fire at friendly players btw, just that if they happen to be firing and someone gets in the way you get hurt.
Anyway, the main "problem" I had with tournament mode is what seemed to be extremely weak offence chambers. I'd got like 6 of them built with 2 defence chambers and a single LMG'er skipped past and put a couple bullets into them, seriously not even a full clip, then when I looked at the off chamber health 3 of them were on red. I couldn't figure it out at first then I realised what caused it, the same thing that killed my team mate earlier. I believe the offence turrets damage each other when firing, don't know if this is intended, but it certainly makes offence chambers really difficult to maintain for aliens and easy to take out for marines. (You could just run past several times and watch a group of them die)

I ain't sure if tournament mode is official either for this version, so I guess it may not be finished, but otherwise consider this as a little "bug" report. Unless of course it was intended, in which case...meh!

yea I was playing a server and there was some guy who didnt like the commander so he decided to set there and FF the commanders chair so we would loose and we could just start over... BLEH

I do however LOVE FF ON! you can go as a skulk and run into a group of players and watch and they try adn shoot you killing there own teammates or run through the turrets and watch them blow away teammates! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
