Miscellaneous changes

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I just patched in these server-side changes: * Ballistic weapons suffer a substantial accuracy loss if they are being fired from a vehicle moving above 15mph. * The effect of smoke and paint clouds on firing accuracy has been increased * I have added a new downforce component to the vehicle physics. This is defined per-chassis (depending on its wings and spoilers), and is proportional to speed. It should make the more sporty vehicles corner better and handle better on bumpy surfaces, with a slight loss of acceleration at high speeds. * A little downforce: royal eaton, buccaneer, vampire, mcfly, Moray, symphony, stormer * Medium downforce: cougar, bullet * A lot of downforce: DeVille, mckenzie * No downforce: all other vehicles ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 25, 2007, 1:09 pm Last edited May 25, 2007, 1:10 pm by *sam*

They're now being scheduled around the clock rather than biased towards Western Europe and USA times. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 25, 2007, 2:56 pm Last edited May 25, 2007, 2:57 pm by *sam*

I spent some time ironing out the NPC wilderness driving the other day, and it seemed ok..  ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 25, 2007, 10:19 pm

Seiler Pestilence Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers Posts: 946 Joined: Apr 29, 2007 I've seen them break 60 on the road in a vamp, but once they make a dramatic turn or go off road, they seem to revert to 31 mph top speed., which affects the chase more than anything (it usually means my fire oil and spikes disappear before the bad guys get there...) as the melee speeds nevr get very high anyway. Maybe I should get another convoy out right now... Seiler ......................... vet deathrceL1 wv Posted May 25, 2007, 10:27 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Yes, offroad they do limit their speeds. It's dangerous without real intelligence to arbitrarily floor the accelerator, there could be lumps and bumps etc. I guess I could have them check the terrain ahead and actually decide what speed is safe.. .. in fact, that's a good idea ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 25, 2007, 10:38 pm Last edited May 25, 2007, 10:38 pm by *sam*

*Speedealer* Fish Heads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 922 Joined: Dec 11, 2006 confirmed. they're maxed at 31 still. Also, they seem to be starting at 0mph too. careful when you touch that code ......................... marshal vet combat1 race1 northernsummer combatL1 Posted May 25, 2007, 11:59 pm

*Toecutter* Toecutters Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 945 Joined: Oct 31, 2006 but when "realisticly" is an encounter gonna start at 0 mph...i mean aren't we (or they) travelling along when they're jumped? 0 mph might solve a few npc ai probs but it creates a whole lot of player problems ......................... marshal vet race1 elmsautumn wv Posted May 26, 2007, 1:55 am

*Speedealer* Fish Heads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 922 Joined: Dec 11, 2006 agreed. slows the combat down dramatically. maybe split the speed difference or open up the distance between opposing forces a bit. ......................... marshal vet combat1 race1 northernsummer combatL1 Posted May 26, 2007, 2:04 am
