Engine v.66 Scripts v.129

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 The big thing in this patch are the specialist skills. I got them all implemented. Phew. There's also some others weapons-related changes: 1. I have tweaked the Car Cannon and ATG to make them different. The Car Cannon now causes more direct damage and less splash, while the ATG is the opposite: less direct damage and more splash 2. Weapon reload times are now variable, and are affected by: type of weapon, weapon skill of gunner, speed ability of gunner, and presence of the new ?Rapid Reloading? specialism. The base reloading times for weapons are: MGs 8 secs; flame throwers 6 secs; missile launchers rocket launchers car cannons tank guns and atgs: 12 secs; all others (including HMGs) are 10 secs. Here's a summary of the specialist skills that we have in-game right now: Machine Guns Increased accuracy with MGs and HMGs, and ability to unjam them Mine Layer Ability to deploy mines and spikes at high speed with less inherited velocity Heavy Weapons Increased accuracy with Cannons, Tank Guns, Anti Tank Guns, and ability to unjam them Flamethrowers Increased damage with flamethrowers, and ability to unjam them Laserfire Increased battery efficiency while firing with lasers and heavy lasers Ballistic Prediction Increased accuracy with mortars and grenade launchers, and ability to unjam them Rocketeer Increased accuracy with all types of rockets and missiles, and ability to unjam them Moving Targets Skilled at hitting moving targets Sniper Skilled at long rang fire Rapid Reloading Capable of speedy reloading Courage Under Fire Better able to shoot accurately while taking damage Engine Tuning Ability to squeeze a little extra acceleration from an engine Jury Rigging Highly skilled at getting a broken engine running Jumpstart Quick off the line and highly skilled at acceleration during the first 2 seconds of a race Field First Aid Ability to staunch the bleeding of any nearby characters, during a combat Rapidshot Ability to occasionally make 2 shots in one move, while using a weapon on autofire Defensive Driver Ability to make your vehicle hard to shoot while its moving at speed Offensive Driver Increased collision damage to your opponents Salvager Skilled at salvaging parts from a car whose engine cannot be fixed Negotiator Ability to negotiate truces with NPC pirate gangs, sometimes Reload In Motion Ability to reload a weapon while driving Deathracer Ability to fire at full accuracy while driving ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 10, 2007, 7:24 pm

*Speedealer* Fish Heads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 922 Joined: Dec 11, 2006 I would be so much less of a pain if I could actually play DW right now could you identify which ones go with which skill? I figured out most, but I bet others will have Qs too. Also, I get the wilderness mechanic skills, but how do you use engine tuning skill? Does the mech have to be in the car or are all races affected in that town where the mech is? ( assuming this is a mech skill of course...) ......................... marshal vet combat1 race1 northernsummer combatL1 Posted Aug 10, 2007, 7:50 pm

Kelaparan Hungry Hyenas Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 288 Joined: May 22, 2007 Oooo those last two "reload in motion" and "deathracer" are good additions. Now its feasible to have single driver scout cars that can stay in a fight longer (dustup comes to mind!) Sam, would you be adverse to changing some of these names for flavor? Not a priority right now of course, and something we enlist the aid of members for suggestions. For example, the skill "deathracer" sounds much nicer than just "machine guns" (yeah, machine guns is much more intuitive and you know exactly what the skill does, but lacks panache ) I'm just a sucker for all the names of the Perks in the Fallout series As regards to the Car Cannon and ATG, I would have thought the opposite since you'd use an ATG to penetrate armor? Anyways, the differentiation is nice and appreciated - time for some tests! so skills are active now? I think you'd made seiler's week, he's never going to stop using his laser boat now ......................... vet Posted Aug 10, 2007, 8:20 pm

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 No prob. Jag. You need to reach 50 points in a skill to chose a specialization. It doesn't cost money. As far as I know, you can chose a new spec. every 50 skill points, meaning a character with 100 skill points can have 2 specialization. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Aug 11, 2007, 3:40 pm

ATG = more penetration => less blast Car Canon = more blast how can it be an rocket got more pentrasion then shell? rocket got there blast and shells got almost nothing Hmm I thought both these weapons are shell based.  I thought anti tank guns were just cannons designated specifically for penetrating armored targets. Anyways, right now the variety between the weapons is nice, though I feel that the ATG is not as preferable to the CC, since the ATG is very splashy.  In some respects and RL would serve better than ATG i think (lighter, less bulky, more spare ammo).  Has its uses (pedestrian killing ), but I think i'm the only one who even uses them.  Anyone else using them? ......................... vet Posted Aug 19, 2007, 11:13 pm Last edited Aug 19, 2007, 11:18 pm by Kelaparan
