you have to go to http://fortress-forever.com to go to the site. there seems to be some dns problem, maybe their host accidentally dropped the www in the adress idk. the video can be accessed in the dev journals (right upper corner)

IF you say sour apple I will stab you in the jaw. Come outside I'll be the one stabbing jaws.

o_yoshura · 03-04-2006, 04:06 PM

Amazing

Leak more please

o_qui · 03-04-2006, 04:21 PM

Nice, although kinda hard to tell much from it. Hope theres more little clips like that in the future.

Clip of the week tbh!

o_lillbrorsan · 03-04-2006, 04:47 PM

Hehe, that video was so cool, first FF video i get to see *sniff*

o_mescalito · 03-04-2006, 05:18 PM

N ii ii ii ii i ii ice!

o_qbaler · 03-04-2006, 07:12 PM

that was some sexy shit.. I also loved the weapon animations.. good show ol chap.. good show!

P.S: thank you whoever drugged schtoofa to get this

o_sobe green · 03-04-2006, 07:52 PM

Will the detpack bounce off of things like that or will it stick to the first thing it hits? I kind of like the bounce effect myself. It might come in handy for some tight corner detpack planting.

I'm glad the speed is going to be lower. It looked great but I was worried at first about having pipes fly way past their target. Absolutely love how the pipes bounce. Finally the demo is going to be one bad bad man. He already is of course but with some pipe physics he'll be a beast.

o_legacy · 03-04-2006, 07:56 PM

Im just imagining a demo dropping a detpack in mid air and a sniper shooting it into enemy territory

o_balls · 03-04-2006, 08:20 PM

nice little sneak preview. Dont think its anyones place to make any complaints about it, we should cherish it! (Does seem a bit fast tho ;p)

Q:In the video, the demoman presses the red button on the pipelauncher and the detpack drops, so the pipelauncher have to be in use to drop a detpack?

that red button press is actually unrelated to the detpack, so no!

Mulchman MM · 03-04-2006, 09:46 PM

The detpack is just a physics object so once you drop it it will bounce off shit and such until it comes to a rest.

o_sobe green · 03-04-2006, 10:05 PM

Is the whole "can't move while setting the detpack" thing staying in too? Can you set one in midair?

o_skanky butterpuss · 03-04-2006, 10:47 PM

i think i just soiled my slacks...

My guess is yes, otherwise it would make detpack too powerfull.

o_sobe green · 03-04-2006, 11:20 PM

I figure that was the answer too. Would be pretty neat to plant one in midair though. A five second detpack falling from the sky would certainly put brown stains in my pants.

Mulchman MM · 03-04-2006, 11:23 PM

Ha, yeah you get locked in place when you start setting a detpack (and you've also got to be on the "ground" to start setting one).

o_skanky butterpuss · 03-05-2006, 12:06 AM

to all the devs: Thank you.

keep up the fantastic work

**mervaka** · 03-05-2006, 12:18 AM

so with some careful timing work between a couple of demos, one demo could volley the other's detpack across the map using a pipe trap?
