Tremulous 1.1 mod: GPP-1.1 "ProTrem" mara test (CPM Promode Physics)
4Just a quick show-off demonstrating several things. And yes that is a bot I'm fighting.
One of the most "fun" fights in my opinion for the mod is marauder versus luci because -
1. You can't get too close. The bots aim ahead to compensate their projectile speed, although they do have "reaction time."
2. If you come speeding down past a wall, they can guess your position and by the time you appear around the corner, chances are is that they're gonna feed your face with a full blast of energy.
3. The marauder's modified abilities in this mod is that the claw and the zap actually have negative knockback which "pulls" them, so if you jump over them and land a few hits you can disorientate the human a bit. Then again, you can't get too close.
4. The bot for luci occasionally switches between secondary and primary, the secondary acts like GPP secondary (not 1.1 spammy) but the primary has 2.5 second charge (1.1 was 2 secs, gpp was 3 secs) with the projectile speed depending on charge.
5. Since they aim ahead, they often randomly get air kills against dragoons due to their size. Marauder is the best for 1v1-ing luci because it's like a glass cannon with excellent mobility, one average hit can cripple you but the dragoon's too big for its meaty health point pool. If you can think fast, Marauder's one of the best classes in a mod like this.
6. They chase you if you attempt to run and hide, although if you know what you're doing you should be alright.
Btw, a 10-second loop has been made of this video: http://coub.com/view/10bm3
Also if you're wondering why it turns so quickly in comparison to the Cuboid mod (which I also ported cpma physics for) is because the strafe/air control functions are merely multiplied by the class modifier (in this case the marauder's "4")
