XVehicles (work online) (VCTF, VMH, Greed, VDOM for UT99)

Wow a9902957, you've REALLY got your brightness setting jacked up!

So, tested an old link in a ReadMe and instead of going to a UT website it redirected to a facebook page... which is how I found the old mapper Dr. Doom. He's the guy that made that Justice League looking map I periodically go on about, and as it happens he made 2 versions of that and I figured one would be ideal for XV as it has massive garages along the sides.

While chatting with him, he recommended another map of his: CTF-FinalFace and I've been tinkering...

Maybe it's just the screenshotting.

My game looks fine but the screenshots look way too dark. That's on v469b, and it happens both with the screenshot tool (Flameshot) and the ingame screenshotting. When I try the screenshotting tool, I can see the game going dark for a split second before the screenshotting tool's overlay/GUI appears.

I tried messing with a bunch of .ini settings but none of them seemed to fix that phenomenon. And I'm on v469b!

Seems it has something to do with whether the game window is the currently focused one.

If you use D3D9 try

Code: Select all

[D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice]
GammaCorrectScreenshots=True

Back in the day I had a really old monitor and it couldn't get that bright, so I tended to lighten my screenshots and add a lot of contrast. Later when I got a better monitor, my old shots looked like his now.

I've a better monitor now, I no longer need to brighten them... though I do sharpen the images just a smidge.

Of course I do not play with such bleach settings.
The point was that HolyWars on the BloodGulch conversion map is a great experience, though.

Considering an XV update of this · viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13191

Vehicles only available once you arrive in the past, plus the dinos work differently than standard monsters do...

...back when I tested Ferali's initial release I noted the dinosaurs largely ignored players in XV, only attacking when they got out.

This way I can test if Buggie's upgrades have changed that.

UPDATE: Nope, Buggie's upgrades are the same... dinos continue to ignore players in XV, unless they get out and get back in or a dino locks onto a player before they get into a Xvehicle.

Even shooting them from a vehicle won't get them to attack you.

Idk if you did anything with the UTjumppads but are you able to add an option to reduce fall damage? Currently I have to do some funky zone tricks to stop a players velocity.

[EvilGrins]

This map is almost ready to go, probably done by tomorrow.

Very amused how often in testing if nothing else is going on that a bot will use the heli to chase birds.

[EvilGrins]

Sorry about the screenshot quality, I goofed, but these could make for good maps to edit for XV; map names in bottom middle of each shot.

[wallabra]

Do you know if there is a way to detect when a bot is about to drive over a tall cliff and stop it?

- Change icon For WalkPathNode and VehicleExit,

I had made one and used it in both XV-Hydro16 and XV-[BBST]-Airport if you remember.
