Exploding vehicles now create puddles of flaming oil, depending on how much fuel they have onboard (cargo+fueltank) NPCs now look further for cliff-edges to avoid on certain maps.. specifically, Gates of Sarsfield and The Pits ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 6, 2010, 2:34 pm

Serephe Collision Force Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,496 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 Ideally, vehicles catching fire should start off with a fairly small fire, which would increase with intensity depending on what the vehicle contains. Flamethrowers would be a bit of an exception though, since they kind of SHOOT FIRE. But really, there needs to be a way to set people to the task of (attempting) putting the fire out -- and fire resistant suits for peds -- else you'll just have unstoppable fires and lots of explosions. Which I'm not against. Basically one of the main reasons for pushing for the changes in fire/explosion was to have it "make sense" to the player. No arbitrarily random explosions, and no hey the raging inferno of death suddenly disappeared for no reason other than random chance. ......................... vet wv paintladder ww0,3,0 Posted May 6, 2010, 4:40 pm Last edited May 6, 2010, 4:42 pm by Serephe

*goat starer* Special Circumstances Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Contributors Posts: 10,908 Joined: Oct 29, 2007 in war some things go boom... HMS Hood... instant KABLOOOIE some things burn for hours and never explode ... The Bismark... hours of floating and burning There is no good modelling of this except keeping it pretty random. Sometimes your car should just go bang when a shot hits your magazine... sometimes not. the only bit it needs is the assignment of characters to fight the fire and use of bulk to store extinguishers. This would reduce but not remove the randomness and chaos that is fires. ......................... vet wv zom pvp4 cont community deathrceL1 marshal pvp3 pvp2 Posted May 6, 2010, 4:54 pm Last edited May 6, 2010, 4:56 pm by goat starer

Then maybe the car in a firey inferno should just burn for the rest of the match, like you described there, but the fire shouldn't just "Go away" when it's that intense. And yes... extinguishers are a given... ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted May 6, 2010, 4:56 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Yeah I know, I know... it's actually the way I implemented the flame/smoke particle emitters that forced me down this road. Currently the server tells the clients "ok, start up a flame emitter at this point on the vehicle and burn it for 4 turns" .. this needs to be changed so that the server can give updates.. "hey, emitter #6 needs to be extended for another turn" etc.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 6, 2010, 5:21 pm

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 ^^ But can you just clarify how the fires will work when it comes to "Blazing inferno", what is the chance of the fire dying at that point? I know we don't want everyone blowing up everywhere, but even if there is no explosion, a raging inferno burns for a good while without anything around to stop it. Also, something I've been wondering for a while... does gunfire affect a fire, because they seem to die earlier when I shoot out the engines...? ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted May 6, 2010, 5:36 pm

I'm changing it so an explosion will only happen when a car is already burning moderately or worse, and will only go out when its burning mildly. So in answer to your question, the chance will be (at the next patch) zero. FireFly said: Also, something I've been wondering for a while... does gunfire affect a fire, because they seem to die earlier when I shoot out the engines...? It can do, yes.. insofar as it might cause a secondary fire which adds to the strength of the existing fire. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 6, 2010, 5:39 pm

In other words, if you see the message representing a medium/heavy fire, that car is pretty much toast unless you finish the event quickly? *sam* said: FireFly said: Also, something I've been wondering for a while... does gunfire affect a fire, because they seem to die earlier when I shoot out the engines...? It can do, yes.. insofar as it might cause a secondary fire which adds to the strength of the existing fire. As a side note, an easy way to do the firefighting thing would be to simply put the pedestrian outside the car, right click the car, and have a "Fight Fire" option turn up, its not complicated, but should do the job... Without extinguishers or anything like that thou, it would be pretty futile  ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted May 6, 2010, 5:42 pm Last edited May 6, 2010, 5:43 pm by FireFly
