*sam* Posted Aug 8, 2007, 12:40 am	This is a lucky-bag of bits and pieces: * Fixed the sideways-wheels in the lobby preview for certain vehicles. (Let me know if I have missed any please). * Changed ?event about to start? alert so it?s only sent to squad members who actually have a vehicle in the event * You now get a reduction in stress based on how far you are from the nearest enemy. You must be at least 50m away for this to take effect. * Small amounts of collision damage no longer cause stress. * F7 (which displays race position if you?re in a race) now displays distance to nearest enemy if you?re in a wilderness combat * you can find 'car parts' as salvage from cars you cannot drive back from a wilderness rumble. The amount you get is based on the squad?s mechanic skill * If you exit a game and have AI take control, it will only do so for 30 moves. After that, your cars will resign/surrender. * F9 toggles gangname/username in the ingame list (the list at the top right) * Also, another new chassis is now in-game. Thanks deathangel! It's called the 'sonic'. A Marley-like car...

Oooo neat stuff.  Thanks!  Heh those new chassis are sure interesting.  Anyways, as regards to the AI control...does the "run away" still function?  I don't know if I would want my scouts to surrender if I disconnect and I can't reconnect in the 30 turns.  Just curious if this is global, or for just races.
*JD_Basher* jd.basher@charter.net Posted Aug 8, 2007, 1:06 am	Christmas in August!............NICE additions Sam. Thanks! I like the F9 addition......I feel bad calling someone by their gang name instead of their screen name....... I like being called JD not GEAR!

Seiler Posted Aug 8, 2007, 1:16 am	Yeah, if we get dropped due to a bad connection, I'd hate to think my guys woudn't fight till their last drop of blood at least. Even worse if we were winning and everyone surrendered
*sam* Posted Aug 8, 2007, 1:18 am	Aye, fair enough. I'll change it so it's just for races/deathraces.
Jansan Posted Aug 8, 2007, 1:32 am	The Sonic is probably my favorite-looking compact car (that's the right term, right?) so far. But I'm jonesing for a Mercenary. I like my four door medium-sized cars best.
Hak Posted Aug 8, 2007, 1:42 am	Sweet, these sound like nice additions, close to my heart to :P wasn't expecting the so quickly actually, but thanks sam

Bolt Thrower Posted Dec 5, 2013, 10:50 pm	Question: You keep gaining stress in a battle when nothing is going on, but enemies are near? I was trying to turn my car over and my gang members freaked out. Should I have walked outside of 50m to mellow and then come back? S608883 don't laugh too much. First time in maze and got a little confused. Edit: I mean technically it says I won. Haha. Edit2: Wish I had a barrel of grenades. That would have been fun.

This was added mostly to stop stalemates where everyone was out of ammo with destroyed engines yet no-one could win! One event was left running all night before I closed it.. Bolt Thrower said: I was trying to turn my car over and my gang members freaked out.  Should I have walked outside of 50m to mellow and then come back? Being on foot tends to increase stress, so you need to be careful
Bolt Thrower Posted Dec 6, 2013, 8:30 pm	Ok. Was just curious. If I had walked up the ridge to the top, would stress levels have gone back down if I had gotten about 100 m away. They were not going to get me with cars, so unless they got out and came on foot, they wouldn't have gotten closer.
*The X Man* Posted Dec 6, 2013, 9:39 pm	Anytime you get further away from the enemy, on foot or in a vehicle, your stress level will decrease.
Bolt Thrower Posted Dec 6, 2013, 11:22 pm	Cool, thanks. I'll know next time.
*Boonwolf* Posted Dec 7, 2013, 4:52 am	If you have an empty car and a ped out they some times will vanish when AI cars pass farther than 150M
Bolt Thrower Posted Dec 7, 2013, 5:58 am	Enemy cars vanish or your car vanishes?
*StCrispin* ce.services.mh@gmail.com Posted Dec 7, 2013, 6:22 am	your Peds vanish (they "escape" basically... against your will)
Bolt Thrower Posted Dec 7, 2013, 7:03 am	oh
musashi_san Posted Dec 7, 2013, 2:46 pm	lost a mint a armor v8 hotrod once down south, was in a place the ai could not get to or shoot me, so i got out and started shooting at them to get hg practice, was yellow most of the time which did not concern me, went red when reloading but the minute i was totally out of ammo, before i could get back in the car, ped demoed and i lost the car. just fyi, a lot of factors go into stress...
