Engine v.119, Scripts v.262, Gladiator Arena & other stuff

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 There's a few goodies in here: 1. A new racetrack (Gateway Whirlwind) - thanks viKKing! 2. An extra low-gear boost for the buggy and dustup 3. Extra field-training boost in all pvp combats, similar to how it works in town attacks 4. The new 'creature combat' gladiator events*, as discussed elsewhere: when you lose a wilderness combat to slavers, mutants and sometimes high-level 'norm' pirates, they sell your characters to the Firelight arena rather than letting them walk home. You will need to gain enough 'arena fame' (500 points is the initial amount, may need tweaking) in order to win your freedom. Gladiator combats will be pre-scheduled on a weekly basis in Firelight. Here's the new racetrack, it's our shortest track to-date: * Naturally, the FL arena gathers the nastiest and most mutated creatures available for your entertainment. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 1, 2009, 8:01 am Last edited Oct 1, 2009, 8:08 am by *sam*

The events should start to schedule after we have a few characters taken hostage by the arena. Quote: can we sell out own people to the arena? There's no need, you can actually enter any character into these events, even if they're not hostages/gladiators. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 1, 2009, 11:00 am

Just register them into a gladiator event, in the events diary. There aren't any there yet... .. maybe I should create a test event for you? - if so, give me a date/time. I'm busy with other stuff this afternoon so won't be able to watch it though, but it would be good to test everything works etc. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 1, 2009, 11:33 am Last edited Oct 1, 2009, 11:35 am by *sam*

Are they labelled as such  any where ? Yes, there's a distinction. It's in their gang description. There's currently two slaver gangs (Firelight Manhunters and Butane), and several Mutant gangs. Incidentally, slavers and mutants tend to be more likely to attack demoralised cars, more likely to switch targets to people who are hurting them, and have a number of other combat behaviours. I have some 'per gang flavour' stuff like that already implemented, but it's quite subtle I guess... ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 1, 2009, 12:30 pm Last edited Oct 1, 2009, 12:32 pm by *sam*

ISHOULDCOCO COCO and the BURPERS Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,440 Joined: Jul 5, 2007 Cool , thank you. If anyone submits any new ped models, ...........hint hint Slavers ( in my head ) would be dressed in long flowing dirty rags and have good camo. Mutants have to have a pale green tinge to their skin ( sick looking complection - not a Celtic fan on Cup final ) COCO ......................... vet wv Posted Oct 1, 2009, 12:42 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Quote: If anyone submits any new ped models Yeah, I'd love to add more ped models, they're more complex than vehicles to make however since they have hand-built animations. Quote: Mutants have to have a pale green tinge to their skin Rahn actually worked on a rather nice set of mutant descriptions some months ago, which I think are rather cool.. see below (I hope Rahn doesn't mind me posting them here). Something I *could* do short-term is take regular models and modify the size of their heads etc. ----------------- Animaniacs: These poor souls are some of the most pitiful, and dangerous, mutants around. Their name comes from both their physical and mental conditions. Physically, they look much like a mad science project gone horribly awry. Once normal human body parts have mutated into what can only be called animal features. Pig snouts, rabbit ears, tails, fur, scales, and claws are but a few examples their wild genes have manifested. Mentally, they are every bit of the maniacs their name claims. Jigsaw Puzzles: As their name indicates, these mutants appear to have been put together from many different pieces. Multiple body parts are the hallmark of this type of mutations, ranging from an extra finger or toe to multiple arms, hands, and eyes. These mutations are not always in working order either. Mummies: The harsh solar radiation has mutated these individuals into walking, talking Mummies. Their skin has drawn taut around their skeletons, revealing every bone in great detail. The dark baked skin color only adds to their resemblance to their ancient namesakes. Pussbags: Oozing sores cover the bodies of these mutants. The constant pain, not to mention the smell, these creatures endure has affected the mental state of most of them. Psicotics: While outwardly appearing to be normal humans, these mutants possess psionic powers. Most also suffer from many mental instabilities, and often outright madness. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 1, 2009, 2:26 pm

Ooooh, I must have missed this one! I've been begging for that for some time! Sam said: Yeah, I'd love to add more ped models, they're more complex than vehicles to make however since they have hand-built animations. As an alternative any chance for custom ped skins then? Would not require any changing of the models, and I know peds have skins just like cars. Or if server stuff is an issue (ie keeping track of them all, uploads, etc) have a Ped Re-skin Contest where a few the best ones get added in as new peds. People can simply edit the ped skin files locally and make screengrabs of the good ones. ......................... vet combatL1 wv1,0,0 Posted Oct 1, 2009, 3:23 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 FF has it correct. Works for all weaps, but at an accuracy penalty unless the weap is a pistol. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Oct 2, 2009, 7:08 am

4saken The 4saken Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,282 Joined: Jan 1, 2008 Is this penalty variable? It should be. For instance, SMGs should get less penalty than rifles, since they are more for close combat. This is awesome! Now I can finally go pedding around in confidence.

FireFly Anarcho-Pumpkin Privateers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 5,468 Joined: Mar 3, 2008 is there some kind of speed loss with the penalties, or is it just a accuarcy thing?
