Engine v.71, Scripts v.137

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,784 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 The main thing in this patch are the new weapons we were discussing.. but also some other bits: * Chat box disappearing during looting is hopefully fixed, although I was unable to reproduce the problem. What confuses me is that Scrag said he could still type text, even though the text entry box was invisible. * Single-shot rockets made more powerful and lower bulk * Anti-personnel/anti-armour differentials. I have only modified a few weapons to start with: Car Cannon is now extra powerful vs armour and weaker against personnel; Car Rifle is slightly better against soft items than armour/hard components, flamethrowers are much weaker against hard items and stronger against soft items * RGM can now reload during a combat * Alerts when a weapon is out of ammo * A few other minor bugfixes The new weapons are: Rocket Booster - not recommended to mount anywhere except on the rear. Will cause some (limited) flame damage to an opponent. It's basically a flamethrower with huge recoil and not much damage effect. Nitro Booster - this is unique in that it is allowed in races and timetrials (since it's not really a weapon). The mount location has no effect. Frequently damages your engine when used. Flechette Gun - deadly versus soft targets, ineffective against hard targets Reinforced Ram - does *not* take damage before the armour Smoke Gun - fires a smoke grenade using a ballistic trajectory Paint Gun - fires a paint grenade using a ballistic trajectory Gatling Gun - double fires every turn Heavy Gatling Gun - double fires every turn Vehicular Shotgun - mostly effective versus soft targets. Good accuracy close, bad at range. Heavy Car Rifle Medium Machine Gun ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Sep 9, 2007, 11:02 pm Last edited Sep 9, 2007, 11:13 pm by *sam*

Can we get skills used and recoil levels etc listed ALso lots of Spirits . Mercs , Voyager and Mooses are in use but still cannot find comparative info about toughness handling and speed. Even Aloca's Uber chassis page does not have this info. Gah , users always want some thing...... COCO ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 10, 2007, 12:11 am

*Ayjona* Edgerunners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 515 Joined: Dec 6, 2006 Wonderful update. A content-addon like this would probably merit an pay-for-expansion in a normal MMO Though this will make things harder. I was just learning to use the weapons that are already available. Very confusing. Perhaps I should try that new WoW game everyone is talking about. I hear there are no options at all there. Sounds very simple, and relaxing... Any word on the annoying mac bugs, Sam? (IMs not showing up in events, /emote and the other slash commands not working at all, å, ä, and ö not working.) ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Sep 10, 2007, 12:12 pm

*JD_Basher* Gearjammers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,728 Joined: Feb 11, 2007 This addition may make the gunnery and Hvy gunnery weapons more capable than they have been. It may also make the use of split (Different weapons) weapons more feasible, not twins (Dual Weapons) as have been used. ......................... vet marshal wv cont Posted Sep 10, 2007, 12:12 pm

At best, Sweden holds my body (but rarely my mind) 8 months out of 12. At worst, I spend half my year in Cape Town (and all across the world)... So yes, Swedish enough to require the need of a, ä and ö occasionally, but that's about as far as it goes Men du borde väl veta allt om att vara någon form av svensk, eller, jeansberg? *casts the bait, and waits for the fish to bite* ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Sep 10, 2007, 1:08 pm

What confuses me is that Scrag said he could still type text, even though the text entry box was invisible. heh what we normally do when the looting chat screen disappears, is to hit "t" and start typing blind and let people know you can't see the chat.  The chat is available, its just that you can't see it.  That's probably what scraggs meant. ......................... vet wv elmsautumn northernsummer e2g Posted Sep 10, 2007, 4:30 pm

*Ayjona* Edgerunners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 515 Joined: Dec 6, 2006 Sam, the out of ammo alert is great. But do you think you could add a text string in the weapon tooltip window that shows how many turns are left until the reload is completed (if we are supposed to know, but it stands to reason skilled gunners would be able to predict how much longer it will take to reload a gun. Otherwise, a simple "Reloading" would serve to at least show us the weapon is being reloaded)? Might sound redundant, but I've found myself wondering, sometimes, if I indeed clicked reload in the contextual meny, or if I might have missed it. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Sep 10, 2007, 7:42 pm Last edited Sep 10, 2007, 7:43 pm by Ayjona
