Wilderness NPC Gangs, advance warning

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I'm just about to patch in a change to the wilderness events, so that NPC gangs may, sometimes, spawn a couple of extra cars later on during an event. This should primarily happen during all those 'race through the wilderness without fighting' courier missions. Just to let you know.. I set it to happen at quite a low level initially, so please let me know your comments when you experience it.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Sep 6, 2007, 9:07 pm

G.G. Barfowski Death Comes Puking Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 127 Joined: Jul 24, 2007 I just had a bandit spawn in the middle of a match, but it was in the fifth or sixth turn. I was trying to run away, but I couldn't have made it more than 150m from the bandits chasing me. Also, the mid-game spawned bandits don't have any ghost car on CTRL+G or a mouseclick. ......................... vet combatL1 deathrceL1 wv Posted Sep 7, 2007, 12:44 am

Scraggly Bumbleclot Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 33 Joined: Jul 21, 2007 Well, I just had a car spawn during my scout. Before I get to that, Darkwind crashed. I assume the car spawn is somehow related to the Darkwind crash. So I log back in, join my event, and now theres a Chomper sitting sideways on the road directly in front of me, within approximately 60M of my moray traveling roughly 50mph. I like the idea, but to spawn out of nowhere and that close on the road directly in my path? Do they have some sort of new cloaking technology? I would assume that as reinforcements they would come in from a much greater distance, at least in the range of 200m. Anyhow, I don't know if either of these occurences are bugs, but I figured I'd post them here. ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 7, 2007, 2:55 am

G.G. Barfowski Death Comes Puking Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 127 Joined: Jul 24, 2007 I also had the client crash like Scrag, and had a new spawn on the map when I logged back in, but I also had a spawn appear on a different map with no problems so it's not crashing each time. I think this spawning system is a little screwy, it sounds like its supposed to be sort of rare, but in the last six scouts I've gone on, I've had three bandit/escort cars show up halfway through the party. The most recent one spawned 55m away from me, and caused another crash (S6294). ......................... vet combatL1 deathrceL1 wv Posted Sep 7, 2007, 4:22 am Last edited Sep 7, 2007, 5:24 am by G.G.

Kelaparan Hungry Hyenas Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 288 Joined: May 22, 2007 Hmm yeah well so far i'm 1 for 1 with the spawning. 2 turns in, about 100m away and a car spawns about 70m ahead of me. The scout skill seems largely useless these days. You get ambushed all the time, and when you don't, cars cut you off successfully from out of nowhere. Reading the others posts, seems like the spawn rate is way higher than intended. Does our scout skill impact this spawn rate? EDIT: interesting, it spawned twice on me. oh and crashed me everytime it did it. It didn't on the road to elms map though. ......................... vet Posted Sep 7, 2007, 5:31 am Last edited Sep 7, 2007, 5:54 am by Kelaparan

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 Happened to me too on my phoenix travel squad, it spawned a Desert Flame really close to me (~30m on highway to hell, but luckily it was facing the wrong way so I was able to just zoom past it) I also noticed 2 client bugs with this: The right click/escape context menu doesn't take the newly spawned vehicle into account and says "escape" as soon as you're 350m from the vehicles you originally encountered, however clicking it will result in making the vehicle surrender. The distance via F7 on the newly spawned car is always 200m. I'm not a big fan of this idea because if it's truly random then it could lead to some unwinnable encounters for example if you get a bad scout roll against a strong gang and end up with a 2v8 or so and then get 2-3 more spawns it'd be... difficult... to survive However if the original spawn is reduced by the amount of vehicles that will spawn later on in the encounter and the new vehicles spawn in logical places so you can use terrain to have your "back against the wall" then it's probably ok. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Sep 7, 2007, 7:42 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 When you look purely at the number of cars (not combat rating), and you're heavily outnumbered, I'd say your own cars must have been very high CR? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Sep 8, 2007, 11:52 am
