thanks for the replies guys...

1st to address MoeDe: this is more reactionary to the E6.cfg which was developed by part of the e5 community and is being touted as the next config to be used in a new league, which has resulted in the split of clans to the acceptance of the config. I accept that probably most of the stuff doesnt need to be changed, so thats why i am trying to see what peoples opinions are on the new suggestions.

I'm trying to stay true to excessive as possible and what some of the community would want to see with the progression of this great mod. I'm sorry you dont see this as being excessive anymore, but I feel it might be needed, just like bro cfg evolved to plus,nh and other configs

yo wonkey you joker

the guys that agree with moede, to my understanding that some of you actually helped in the creation of the e6 config, but it depends on which points you agree with him, so I can not comment on your decision to agree with him... but I will take it as people wanting to keep e5 config and not confuse it. It is a hard time of transition, and we all see change as moving in different ways.

hi mow, thanks for your interest in this as i know you have experience of development of a config... I have actually tested settings on a server (see seth's post), mostly they are tweaks on the original settings and I do realise the difference it makes.

although I have not had much experience in pants, I have played sod/e/e+/bro for years, mostly in e+ but I have stayed away from community life as it has always been volitile. The point of this new development is to move forward and not back, and i dont mean any disrespect but e3 would defeat the purpose (I know you meant it as a joke)

The development will continue, if the community accepts the end product it is up to them, but the more input I get from everyone the better.

sorry, the problem arised when the e6 config was to have its own league, i dont mind people playing the e6 config, and good luck to them, but it left the rest of us disapointed (for different reasons)

e6 was developed and is said to reward people with aim and skill, so I am trying to develop this as a compromise... it will reward aim and skill (hopefully) without the disadvantages. I can see why e6 is becoming popular, but to me it seems like it is an excessive3r.cfg (hopefully most people will understand that)

to me there are lots of problems with the e5 config, even if people dont admit it, i'm sure they feel the same too, but i won't stop playing it, and i'm sure everyone will continue to enjoy it.

this is a project where i want to have something that rewards aim and skill with fluid movement.

if people want to use this config when it is finished as part of a league, then i will be happy, but if not, its fine its just something I want to raise awareness for because the e6 league seems to be seperating the e5 community.

main problems i see are:
nade spam
bfg not rewarding air/accurate shots but splash damage shots
virtually useless rail
mg strength

points that i want to push forward:
speed with gauntlet (to make it more usable)
medium speed and power rail (again to make it more useful)
initial bfg hit strength (to reward the air bfg shots)

I understand that switch-time is a problem, but aim and skill should be enough to compensate that, especially for clans with good tactics

mow, sorry i dont understand your last comment in the brackets

sup reno my london friend I am trying to keep this config as the fast paced game that we expect in e5, the accuracy with mg over distance is a component that needs discussion

mg less acc over distance advantage- less camp with mg, really only useful in middle distance shooting
mg more acc over distance advantage- to compensate the loss of rapid fire rail and usable at any distance

what do people think? and what are the other advantages, and what would be more acceptable?

mow... i will try my best with the tweaks to get it right and i appreciate your offer, but i'm doing this for the community. i think there are others that are more deserving of the money.

explosive, i'm sorry that i did not completely explain myself, i am willing to change the switch time to restrain the abuse, but i want to keep it as fluid as possible, but i hope you don't expect to see baseq3 switch times.

even if this does turn out to be a useless project, at least I will know that i have tried to take in the community's expectations and try to deliver an end product that is useable
