*sam* Posted Sep 14, 2010, 3:55 pm	- you can now permanently disable the downloading of new ‘scenes of evan’ images (you’re offered this option when you click the ‘x’ to close the scenes of evan image) - you can now order a melee attack even while out of range. The attack will only happen, of course, if you come into range during the move. It stops you having to wait until one move *after* coming into range. You’re only shown the option if you’re *reasonably* close: this is to avoid context-menus being filled with useless options if you have a lot of peds in the game. - a couple of other small fixes
*Tinker* Posted Sep 14, 2010, 4:55 pm	nice can't wait to try that melee attack
thepez Posted Sep 15, 2010, 5:13 am	HEEEEEEYA!

lordbam Posted Sep 18, 2010, 1:22 am	I've been waiting for the native linux port for 3 years now....... SAM!!! i started playing this game becouse i was expecting a linux client

SAM!!! i started playing this game becouse i was expecting a linux client OK.. listen.. having recently put Ubuntu on one of my PCs, I'll take another look at it, lordbam.. I think it more-or-less worked, but had a few problems, the last time I did a linux client build.. How's about we make a deal? -- I get a linux client working, and you help me promote it in the Linux community?
lordbam Posted Sep 18, 2010, 2:06 pm	I was being a bit sarcastic. If i really minded playing it with wine i would have quit 3 years ago. A Linux build would however be easier and probably solve some bugs i have.
*sam* Posted Sep 18, 2010, 2:11 pm	Heh, I realised, no worries

Zephyr Posted Sep 20, 2010, 7:29 pm	Been trying to test out that "pre-set for melee attack" feature in the Gateway Ped arena.  Gave a mutie ganger with 123 speed a hammer.  But every time he tries to charge someone with the hammer he gets gunned down before he can close to melee range!  I guess this disproves the "21 foot rule," eh?  reference:  http://www.allbusiness.com/public-administration/national-security-international/942427-1.html

*Dark Tempest* Posted Sep 20, 2010, 8:09 pm	You didn't read the paper did you Longo? A well trained aggresor in the Tueller Drill would increase the distance, not decrease it.

I think there are a few bugs in the melee system. When I used in  S257768, I could not hit enemy peds more than a single time each. There are some other ideas and tweaks for this feature I'd like to suggest - either firing a weapon within melee range at a low-activity opponent should result in an instant "execution" kill, or a knife equipment that does much the same thing - allows you to insta-kill unconcious enemies in melee range.

FireFly Posted Sep 23, 2010, 11:43 am	Executions, walking up to your enemy and putting 1 last bullet in the head... Heck yes, a use for handguns

I'm not entirely sure what I saw, but it LOOKED like the 2nd and 3rd attacks didn't happen at all.There was no "attack firing" kind of message. On the other hand, it was a chaotic battle. It looked like the melee attack was a weapon with only the 'Fire Once' option enabled, though I could be wrong about that.
