Hey, I'm kevinispwn.

I've been playing roamer for about a year now, and I've yet to reach out to find a mentor. This has generated some pretty bad habits/ thought processes, and I'm ready to rid myself of them. I'm on a mid open CEVO team this season, and I'd really appreciate if someone would be willing to go over demos from scrims/ matches once or twice a week.

Thanks a bunch!

Always run your videos by someone before making them public... Because there was not a single funny moment in this video. Not to crush your dreams or anything, just spend more time on your content and Try differentiating yourself from other people's content. Anyone can go on a garbage map and spam voice chat.

Also don't post them here.

It's okay during stalemates, but the amount of damage from rocket jumping isn't typically worth the tradeoff from what I've experienced.

Edit: also, you should ideally have a health buff so the black box won't typically help you health-wise.

If you can't consistently stay alive it, it's not useful to cap it.

I have found that capping your framerate at anything less than 3+2x (x being your monitor hz) will cause some stuttering effects. If you can't reliably get that fps, it's not worth capping.

that vod is the cringiest thing i've seen on the internet. don't watch it, don't make the same mistake i did.

edit: to answer your question, it was enough to where it was a bit much

That's really odd. Are you in a situation like sirkiddo said?

If so, you'll need to disable that sort of thing.

Welcome to tftv!

Do you have auto reload off? To me it sounds like you have it off and are only getting problems when you are pressing R to reload. Under advanced options, you can check the auto-reload box, and that should fix your issue. There are no downsides to auto reload, and it's pretty typical to have it on.

Best of luck. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me either in this thread, via pm, or whatever.

It's not all that bad. It's more of a hobyist's tool than a super-serious programming language. Some friends and I have made some pretty neat stuff on it, including a multiplayer rpg with a 12-20 hour playtime. I "coded" (technically marked up) a sound engine and made all the music. The people who did the actual multiplayer/ gameplay stuff have moved on to bigger and better languages, but I think it was a great start for all of us.

Try using the back port on your computer, typically much better (especially if you have other stuff like usb devices plugged into the front one). If that doesn't work, you can always get a really cheap USB sound card that will be more than enough to run your microphone through.

In all seriousness, he's really good. Incredible for his age. If he was a bit smarter with his play, he could go far. Totally worth mentoring.

Give him some time. He's probably pretty busy. If not, he doesn't want to. It's not like he's obligated to post videos for you.

From what I heard there's a fair amount of work that will have to be done before he's able to upload anything.

It's not so much about ping (though you should notice a slight decrease when switching) as it is about packet loss, especially if you're sharing a connection with someone. Typically, wired devices have priority over wifi devices as well.

That said, the change isn't always worth it for some people (like in your situation, apparently).
