This is mostly to stop you from hiding a single character in a rabbithole as an insurance policy against your side surrendering. I have also changed the effect of Zerk so it only removes stress tests if you?re actually in a vehicle.

And I can see why no one uses the 1800's British firing line anymore.
Jansan Posted May 15, 2008, 6:27 pm	Two more questions at the moment Re: Peds in the Wilderness: 1) Do enemy pedestrians ever fight back, or have they not been trained to yet? I've only seen them run so far. Haven't even seen them take pot-shots while escaping. 2) When do you think we'll be able to reload weapons via webpage? Thanks!

We are currently building up AI pathing data in all combat events, which will be important to their navigation. Quote: 2) When do you think we'll be able to reload weapons via webpage? I'll implement that now.

*Longo* Posted May 17, 2008, 2:07 am	Reload Weapons via webpage? Lost me here.
Jansan Posted Jun 2, 2008, 4:38 pm	Is idling stress even necessary anymore now that we can get out of our cars (and the NPCs do as well)? I can pretty much eliminate it as-is by throwing the handbrake on and keeping speed up.
*viKKing* Posted Jun 2, 2008, 4:52 pm	It was mainly aimed to remove vehicles stuck in holes or on their roof: unable to move and to fight. I still think it is needed. But the bug you are pointing should be solved.
