First patch I've seen since i quit that has actually had a lot of thought put into it.
Pro's:
-No zone crap all through the main menu and stuff
-Nice work using the r_sun_fx_position, it is a very nice finish
-love the prestige selector (something i'm eager to peek at the code for haha)
-all in cfg!!! well done!
Con's:
-The loading bars are unnecessary for cfg but i realise that you put them in to replicate 1.11, so nice job on the re-make but it would get annoying, maybe decrease the "wait" time on the loading bars.
-Not sure if you noticed but in your host menu it says "Eng Game" instead of "En
d Game"
-The video was recorded in split-screen, is this just to save time from a data-transfer or does the patch have lag issues? If there is lag online then id focus on sorting that out quickly as that was the one thing everyone complained to me about with other patches back in the day, to this day i actual don't know why mine never gets Out of Memory but i'm glad it doesn't haha
Other:
-I'm curious about the "crouch then UP to open menu" as far as i remember there is no way to "check for" in cfg. the only method i can think of is making circle run 2 commands, 1) crouch as normal and 2) vstr a simple command that is toggled to execute 2 different outputs, 1 that resets it when the menu closes (and i'm assuming forces you to stand again) and the other would then bind dpad_up to open the menu, and then unbind it when the menu closes and you stand up.
Its patches like this that i love because they make me question how it was done and leave me eager to peek at the code and develop my own knowledge through others as, i'm not going to lie, i suck at art and anything creative, so a major issue in most of my patches was the lack of creativity and the reason why i mostly stayed away from zone editing. Thanks for making this as its re-sparked my interest in MW2 after over a year of losing interest. Keep up the good work mate, my advice is listen to the community and remember KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) with all your updates and patches, with that and a few original ideas i'm sure your patch will be a huge success, the menu base already looks the part, now you just need to fine tune the codes and add some original ones if you haven't already
The crouch then press up is kind of not necessary. You were right. This is the best configuration patch I've come across. The flaws are taking the gun away when loading the menu. It would be ok if we had godmode. We do not have such thing on MW2. And the bugs I noticed were unlocking, ranking up, etc, and loading the game back to a chrome look, with no gun. A little buggy, and some unnecessary things in here, but they've come a long way haven't they? Lol. Have a good one Jono, and life might happen, but this shit is a hobby. It'll never get old.
