Scripts v.194, Gentlemen, start your engines!

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 * Fixes the messed-up arena combat scoreboard bug * Adds voice alerts when an event you?re in is about to start (thanks to JD Basher, our voice talent!), plus some commentator-style dialogue in certain situations. If these are popular we can add more of them ;-) * Also adds an audio alert when you receive an IM * The AI ?bumblebee dance? at the start of wilderness events is improved (hopefully). * The AI pathfinding code is now live again; yesterday?s bug appears to be fixed (we still had two end-of-event crashes during the night, due to something related.. I?m keeping a close eye on it). ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jun 5, 2008, 4:13 pm

*Zothen* Knights Templar Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 841 Joined: Jun 11, 2007 Thanks Sam, nice features and hope you can sleep better, now that youve found the crash-bug. I like the new features very much, but the IM-sound is very, very awful. Also thanks to JD - nice vocals and your voice fits nicely into the setting. But where is the Directors Cut? I mean, I hoped for something like "Get your ass over here - your event is starting!" Come on, Sam, we want the Directors Cut or a least a special version! Its a question of immersion! ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Jun 5, 2008, 7:40 pm Last edited Jun 5, 2008, 7:41 pm by Zothen

Come on, Sam, we want the Directors Cut or a least a special version! Its a question of immersion! Yeah, he has a good voice for it. Originally the idea was for taskmasterpeace to do some too, and to run it like a two-guy commentary, referring to each other by name etc. But task has gone AWOL. There's plenty of room for new comments from JD though, the more we get in the less quickly they'll get boring.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jun 5, 2008, 9:46 pm

Parapsycho DW eSports Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Subscribers Posts: 644 Joined: May 23, 2006 Cool! 2 questions: 1. Can we replace the IM.ogg file with one of our choosing? 2. Is there any way for a player to turn off the commentary? Maybe there could be a 'commentary volume' control. Edit: If you need someone for the 2-man commentaries, I'd be more than happy to help. ......................... vet wv paintladder Posted Jun 5, 2008, 9:52 pm Last edited Jun 5, 2008, 9:54 pm by ParaPsycho

No, because Darkwind expects encrypted ogg files. If you can find any free ones that are better than what I put in, let me know and I can replace it. Quote: 2.

Not at the moment, but it makes good sense, of course. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jun 5, 2008, 9:55 pm

*JD_Basher* Gearjammers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,728 Joined: Feb 11, 2007 Thanks for the positive response on the Voice-overs/alerts. I'd be happy to supply more "Directors cut" commentary for specific actions in racing events. Not sure the scouting events need commentary though. Hope to hear from more players too. Thanks again!

Valiance The Vanguards Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,180 Joined: Jan 15, 2008 Interested in hearing what we've got. I think it would be great to get some regional variety as well: Irish, French, Italian, British, New England, Canadian, Aussie... ......................... vet combat1 wv ped1 northernsummer sssc deathrce1 Posted Jun 5, 2008, 10:58 pm Last edited Jun 5, 2008, 10:59 pm by Valiance

Bear in mind that it will almost assuredly want folk to turn off my consarned voice! ......................... vet Posted Jun 5, 2008, 11:23 pm

If you can find any free ones that are better than what I put in, let me know and I can replace it. And what about offering a solution to players to customize those sounds? An alternate checkbox that would lead the engine to search in an other directory with none encrypted files? Not sure how difficult this is to integrate though. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jun 6, 2008, 7:38 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Sigh... there were 4 during the night in fact alo. But it happened at precisely the same place in each, and the extra logging I put in yesterday narrows it down nicely so it should be ok to fix.. looking into it now. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jun 6, 2008, 10:24 am

*Zothen* Knights Templar Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 841 Joined: Jun 11, 2007 Sam, the bumblebee dance problem has become much better. Sometimes they still do a turn but its not 2-3 circles like before. What really bothers me about the new AI stuff is the fact that they slow down their cars when they get closer to an enemy. As mentioned somewhere else it leads to a "Sitting Duck" problem, cos they sometimes stop right in front of you (speed down to maybe 3-11mph). Once they are slowed down that much they are easy prey for us. I know that you tried to counter the "mindless full speed rushs" but once they are between their enemies they cant do anything without speed (turn, move out of LOS, get own LOS, etc.) PS: I got used to the IM sound know! Guess my aestetic nerves got killed, so its fine for me now! =) ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Jun 7, 2008, 12:26 pm Last edited Jun 7, 2008, 12:27 pm by Zothen

Lord Foul .-^-HellRazors-^. Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Rules Council Posts: 3,543 Joined: Jan 12, 2008 Good job with the AI regrouping Sam. There were 4 cars left in a recent scout and 2 were taking fire from me, the 2 taking fire fell back to their buddies and regrouped to turn and face me as 4 instead of 2. It made me expose my cars as I thought they were trying to escape, which helped the NPC cars get off more shots and do more damage to my cars. ......................... vet race1 deathrce1 wv zom circuit1 pvp1 northernsummer community circuit3 paintball55,203,125 Posted Jun 7, 2008, 10:48 pm
