yes you did get a frag for it, as a matter of fact i remember when they had quake deathmatch inside gameworks(bigass arcade) one time, and all i did was rocket all the n00bs and telefrag like a cheap whore =)

Telefraged?

You Quake dudes (Q3 is a killer DM game and I play it also) miss all the fun "Telefraging" other opponents using the TRANSLOCATOR in Unreal Tournament.

For those who are in the "WTF?" mode:

The "Tranz" is a device that shoots a spinning disc on Primary Fire, about 50 to 100 feet horizontally, and/or 30 feet (3 levels) vertically. Once the disc lands, an antenna pops up. When Secondary Fire is pressed it "Teleports" the player to the position that the disc is located. Excellent device!

Those who master the Tranz can move about like a spook, appearing, and disappearing in different spots at will. It also increases your speed to get from one area of a map to another. If you leave a disc in the enemy's camp (CTF), run back to your base and score, you can instantly Teleport back to the enemy base.

The Tranz is also a very effective weapon by "Telefraging" anyone in your path. As you approach an opponent, shoot the disc (lob the disc) towards the opponent, then Teleport at the exact moment when the disc is in very close proximity of your victim. Whooosh! You teleport to that spot, kill your opponent, and add another frag to your total.

UT has the same problem getting "Telefraged" by either simultaneously respawning in the same spawn area with someone else, or by standing in a spawning area when someone respawns. It happens, it sucks, and the funny thing is that whoever survives the simultaneous respawn gets a frag for it!

BTW- Newbee with MOHAA (just got it last night) with three stupid questions:

1) I'm certain that there is a console in this game, what key activates the console window?

2) Does the console allow multiple functions for raw key bindings on press and release of the key?

3) Is there a script that enables joystick support? The control menu doesn't do it, and I was successful enabling the joystick in RTCW by adding a script. (I use 3 controls-Mouse, Keyboard, and Joystick)

Thanks in advance to those who can help me out.

The console is activated (as far as I can tell) by hitting ~, but I think you need to enable Developers mode first. They explain it on the main page of this site.

Three of us were playing SP COOP last night and a forth joined into spectator mode. He never joined the game at any point, but he killed all three of us.
In the upper right (death updates) I noticed that I'd been "telefragged" by the spectator.

What the hell is that? I can be killed by a spectator? Is that one of those cheats you fellas have been talking about?

Shortly after, the admin booted him thanks to my report.
Thanks.

I'm not a newbie bro, I'd just never seen that before. I'm new to this board since AA.net went down and that's about it.

I've seen some crazy stuff at spawn points before, namely the 1.0 DoD beta where everyone spawned in the air on the Omaha level and you'd be stuck. But, I'd never thought that someone might kill you via spawning into the map. Thanks for the tip.
Come to think about it, I do remember being close to the spawn and seeing my teammate go down due to the "telefrag" and not me.
Thanks for the tip.

Telefrags was introduced in the old Quake 1 (or maybe Doom? dunno) and continued throughout quake 2, 3 - other games adopted this I think so maybe that's why you're being called a newbie http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/wink.gif, since quake was released in 1996 heh.. Seems like 2015 should remove some code from their engine or rewrite it - I don't expect to see teleports in MOHAA.. LOL http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif

Really? Telefrags that long ago?
Back in the DoD 1.0 days, we just called these sorts of things, "spawn bugs" so I haven't heard that term come up before. We had guys spawning in the middle of the air over the Omaha beach level and you'd get stuck spawning into someone. But you never actually died because of it unless some punk was Tking us intentially just to release himself.

I was weary about this one because the guy never did get into the game and I'd read about people getting shot by "invisible spectators". Not sure if there is any truth to that one yet.

Just to add one more thing...
I can't see why anyone would go through all the trouble just to cheat in SP COOP when it's difficult enough to find a descent SP COOP server. The last few nights, I've seen no more than 15 listed in Gamespy.
