How Fast Does Saxton Run?

It might be nice to put that in somewhere. Eat my soup 19:40, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

   It depends on hale's left health speed=HaleSpeed+0.5*(100-HaleHealth*100/HaleHealthMax) HaleSpeed=340
   Read as: speed when hp 100%: 340 50%: 365 10%:385 1%:about 390 (400 is Scout's speed)HeMe3iC 15:16, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

GoompaStomp is not part of this mode

Permanently Broken?

How is the mode permanently broken? Can't someone fix it? THE3STOOGES 05:00, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Almost fixed, we will test it today on Random Fortress server. btw turn "was" back to "is" mod is not dead yet HeMe3iC 12:54, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Triva

So... where do I put it? on Stun, Ghost, or don't put it anywhere? GreenEarth28 20:23, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Cave Johnson

To be clear, Cave Johnson IS in VS Saxton Hale Mode, but only in a special version, an early version of which is seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkNfBbIfGts . It has been updated past this point, but this is on a single server so far. The maker of the Cave Johnson version is planning on releasing it or giving it to Eggman (the creator of the original VS Saxton Hale mode), so we might as well save Cave Johnson stuff for that time. It should also be noted that several versions of VS Saxton Hale mode exist (including TF2 Fight Night which appears on Slag Gaming servers) that have many more/different special characters than the four from the original mode. I saw one with Gabe Newell and Cuddly Heavy. It made very little sense, but was quite well-made. FlaminSarge 14:34, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

Your link is broken.--Magnum Force-Enforcer 15:42, 1 March 2012 (PST)

There's two or three servers running Cave Johnson right now. I can post them here. I do all the current work on VS Saxton Hale mode (at least, the version that's publicly released on AlliedMods). I may or may not add Cave to the main VSH mod rather than keep him in a custom version. Either way, if you want a demonstration I can put the IP's somewhere. FlaminSarge 03:56, 23 March 2012 (PDT)

About that version of VSH with Gabe Newell and Cuddly Heavy, they are part of a VS Saxton Hale Remake, done by SolarFlare of Ozzy Furocity. The remake is closed source and only on OzFur servers. (I know, because I frequent those servers) But anyways, here is a video of the VSH remake. TheIgnorantMedic 04:21, 12 July 2012 (PDT)

I know. -FlaminSarge 23:58, 15 July 2012 (PDT)

That would be cool if you could. If you want put them on my Discussion page. I have never fought Cave and would like to.--Magnum Force-Enforcer 09:46, 4 April 2012 (PDT)

Should we mention mods for VSH?

I know that there are mods for versus Saxton Hale, such as Painis Cupcake, Dic Soupcan, and the Team Fortress 2 announcer. Does anyone think that VSH mods are noteworthy? Flashn00b 02:25, 15 August 2011 (PDT)

If the article can mention "Goomba Stomp," I say that it's notable. If no one disagrees, I will type out some trivia within the hour. Sven 13:18, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

No. There are far too many to mention. Goomba Stomp is only mentioned because it's particularly noteworthy and is used very often. Fyahweather 13:24, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

So I take it that a bit of trivia like "In some variants of this mod/gamemode, additional characters such as the Administrator and Cave Johnson have made appearances" would be out of the question? Sven 13:37, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

That may be okay, but it's already stated that many different servers have different characters. Notice the Demopan being mentioned. Fyahweather 14:20, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

In that case, I feel that a rewrite might be in order. At least the Administrator and Cave Johnson are canon to their respective universes, whilst the Demopan is just a meme, and countless other characters are just random models given playability. Sven 08:46, 24 September 2011 (PDT)

Outdated info

The info on this page is severely outdated. Would anybody mind helping me update everything? (I made the most recent updates to the actual gamemode). -FlaminSarge 23:42, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

Alright, I got a lot of the changes in, except for the actual changelog section. -FlaminSarge 01:09, 24 September 2011 (PDT)

Updated info to version 1.37b, listed the changes in changelog and balancing specifics. --Ed 21:12, 27 November 2011 (PST)

Christian Brutal Sniper

The Christian Brutal Sniper looks very different from what he does in KelThuzud's videos. I think we should add a picture of him to the gallery. We already have Saxton Hale and the others, why not add CBS to the mix?--Magnum Force-Enforcer 17:31, 28 February 2012 (PST)

It wouldn't hurt to take some proper images in HLMV, really. I might just do that.--Fiskie ^{Talk :: Contribs} 17:44, 28 February 2012 (PST)

If you don't feel like doin' it I'll gladly do it. I play VS SH quite often and can get a quick pic of CBS. What about pictures of each "bosses" first person view too?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Magnum Force-Enforcer (talk) • (contribs)

I can do it inside HLMV so the pictures are clean. It's better this way rather that using an in-game screenshot, as it's much cleaner. example --Fiskie ^{Talk :: Contribs} 17:58, 28 February 2012 (PST)

Ok good idea.--Magnum Force-Enforcer 12:17, 29 February 2012 (PST)

The CBS skin is the "Biohazard Sniper" skin by Felthorn. It's used in one of KelThuzadMadness's videos for the CBS. The one subtitled "Origins", I believe. -FlaminSarge 23:54, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

External reference for HHH Jr., Vagineer and CBS?

I think we should explain those in a different page/section rather than link to knowyourmeme. I highly disagree with KYM being used as a general source/reference, and having our own page/section about those characters would be for the best. —BobMathrotus 12:27, 3 July 2012 (PDT)

Why is the voice of Saxton Hale not listed here?

Hello! I'm the guy who voices Saxton Hale for this mod, and I'd like it if it was mentioned in this article somewhere. I'd like to be credited as "Dreux Ferrano Jr." if that is okay. Druox 10:00, 3 September 2012 (PDT)

I'll wait for FlaminSarge's answer that is right or wrong. I never trust anybody without source. Hinaomi (talk) - (contributions) 10:14, 3 September 2012 (PDT)

a source? What would you need to see? I can see if I can get it for you. You can ask the mod creator if you want. Druox 13:21, 3 September 2012 (PDT)

Indeed he is. -FlaminSarge 18:04, 4 September 2012 (PDT)

Wrong formula for the calculus of health

"Health is calculated as [(760+n)×n]^1.04, where n is the initial number of players on the enemy team. When n<5, n increments by 2"

That's not true. Let's call "number of player on the red (enemy) team "np"". The n in the formula it's not np, it's np+1. And if np<5, n it's not np+2, it remains np+1. As a consequence of this, the table below is incorrect. (if you put a random n from the table in that formula, you get a different number of hp.)

(Another minor "error" it's the approximation of the exponent, that leads to a 0,15% error in the number of hp. It should be around 1,04014 instead of 1,04, but that's not important!) -Brakko 12:49, 11 December 2012 (PST)

I'm sure you've already looked at this, but http://pastebin.com/NnSuQDG2. The formula counts the number of players that aren't Hale as N, and if that's less than 5, then adds 2 to N. Then it sets Hale's max health to the nearest integer of [(760+N)*(N-1)]^(1.04). It's a dumb formula and I don't even know why it exists, but it does, and the RoundFloat is to clear up any approximation error. -FlaminSarge 01:53, 22 December 2012 (PST)

It's not what I thought, but now the formula and the explanation of it are correct. The table it's already correct, it was wrong with the previous formula. Thanks!-Brakko 09:25, 24 December 2012 (PST)

Telefrag

Teleporting into Saxton Hale deals 9001 (exactly that) damage compared to normal 1000. I think it should be mentioned on the page. --Nik1895 20:55, 9 February 2013 (PST)

New Hale? Captain Kinky

Hello! I recently played on a VSH server and found a new boss named Captain Kinky, who just seems to be a reskin of the original Hale. However, I don't know if he can be put in VS Saxton Hale Mode or in Freak Fortress 2.

Any other witnesses? --000marioshi000 (talk) 09:52, 3 June 2013 (PDT)

It's not official, it's the equivalent of any other custom boss for Freak Fortress 2 (we're not listing THOSE here either). I don't plan on supporting the boss, either, so he's won't be 'official'. He's also lacking in the 'class' department. I mean, c'mon. -FlaminSarge (talk) 18:57, 4 June 2013 (PDT)
