Never used it, is it useful in CS, do many people use it in public servers?

I think its alright but the camera needs to be locked so people can't give away others position once dead.

 

[Mr Lee]

what he said

 

[Perplex]

well, camera's are never locked on pubs, although I think they should for that very reason.

They're permitted in all leagues, so I really don't see the problem with it

Which is a bummer because me and Erebus were playing against one team that had three people in one room, so they knew where we were all the time which isn't very good since half of CS is about creeping around

 

[Perplex]

Aye

That reminds me...Been playign CS for quite a while now, but never actually played on "match" settings. I know the chasecams are locked, but does it also mean that you can't free-cam?

I should hope so

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah it means you cant free cam.
Also i dont think you should do locked cam in public servers, they are meant to be fun and a good place to practise against a variety of players. Its fun watching a enemy creep up on your teamm8s and knife em. I have only come across one occasion of people using rw in public servers, and it did not ruin the game, just made it more challenging.

RW is a good thing, because my mobile bills are starting to get a bit steep, I can tell you...

allegedly

RW is a good thing unless it's abused by lamers... it's nice to chat in real time to your clan mates while playing cs...

The funniest thing though, is how most people don't say a word. The guys I play with are pretty good mates both online and off, the couple I haven't met/go out with regularly I speak to on the phone pretty often, and they are a sociable bunch. Hence our RW sessions usually consist of pisstaking and laughing rather than any serious tactical comment eg "nice fucking skillz falling off that roof Daz" (we get to use that one alot ).

However, it seems that whenever I've invited other people onto an RW session, they go absolutely quiet, and nothing can convince them to utter any more than the odd cough. And yet as SOON as you get back to IRC/whatever, they are immediately chatty again.

well stu, after hearing my voice (psycho knife-waving cockney cunt I believe was the last description) and markys voice (nutter face-stabbing mancunian accent if I recall correctly) do you blame them mate? I reckon you're the only one that sounds vaguely normal

 

[*Kornholio*]

LOL !!!!! Yeah, that is SO true We generally talk a load of crap together too, which makes it a more sociable game, and loads more fun

humm

i have rw and i cant use it at the same time as cs. i think this is 'cos it uses the audio port ( ??? ) that cs needs to play gun sounds and stuff. is there any way of setting it so i can play two sets of sounds at once? i either play cs and cant use rw, or creep around with people chatterin at me, but die cos i cant hear peeps run up behind me

set RW to use "directsound recording"....not "wav recording"

which soundcard are you using?

 

[old.Jimmy]

ok

thanks, i think its a soundblaster something-or-other, not so sure to be honest.

 

[Meatballs]

I rarely speak on RogerWilco cos my family walk in on me and start asking questions and then I gotta explain to them what I'm doing and I cant bear to say in front of them 'Cover the basement! Cover the basement!' or summat equally lame

 

[old.frankie]

funny

RW is good yeah

and no, chasecan shouldnbt be locked on public servers, pubs are for praccying, and getting stuck behinf ya camping teammate for like 3 mins aint fun...

 

[Vroomparrot]

I think having the locked chasecam would be a good idea on puplic servers - I think I've only come across one that did that. The one thing that annoys me about using RW is when someone chooses the wrong time to either ask what I'm doing (we have a permanent RW server), or someone in the same game screams "thats absolute bollox I'ad him" just as someone on the opposing side comes round the corner - it's completely offputting.

 

[old.Xer]

i think locked chasecam should be locked on publics.CS needs an ingame-game for when your dead,tetris anyone?

ne 1 know ne rw servers?

 

[*Kornholio*]

rw servers ???

 

[old.Jimmy]

rw

Roger Wilco, dont think it has servers just channels

 

[Embattle]

Thought RW was a peer to peer type program.

yes, but you can get dedicated nix or win32 servers, that allow multiple channels. kind of an audio version of IRC.

You can download the server version of Roger Wilco and run your own. Dunno how it affects your connection tho'.

Well if you have dual ISDN/ADSL/Cable then np.

 

[Perplex]

why bother. run the linux version on a box somewhere and 'hey presto'...permanent RW server for you/mates/clan etc
