I am sure it be bad.
But you can always fix it. Open XManata.ini and add record for each desired model with need params.
Any models not in list use config 0.
You can specify up to 1023 records.


Usually good params found by try and check or by real-time edit via editactor if you know what and where. If not - Set options, look in test map, edit config, repeat.

I use test map on which I place 32 mantas, and above 32 PlayerStart. I enter as spec, add 32 bots and immediately freeze game (playersonly binded on key). So I can fly around and make some notes what can be done. I make sshots above on this map.

Initially I make meshes to Steelboxes and try move it in editor for figure initial params. This can be used too if not afraid set a lot meshes and textures by hands and know what and where.

Automatically merged

Also, I think, it is main reason why 2k4 is used only few models. It need be placed into vehicle. In many different vehicles. In many different positions. Also they need move.
Skeletal animations little simplified task, but only if models near same. For example NaliCow is very different from players. So there goes some hacks.

Looks like I don't need to add that model to the XManta.ini.

All models based on defaults models, or acts same, must be ok.

Also, what is that with health bar on your sshot? It must be green with small blue line (for jump) (not work when spectate on net). Not this mess.

It is always such for you?

No, don't worry about that - it appears fine in-game - it seems to be when I take a screenshot in 469c with EXUOpenGL - I think it's OK with D3D9. I get other odd effects now in 469c when taking screenshots sometines but probably down to the renderer.

That is a neat poster!

I feel like the logo could be better. The X could be made more prominent, to stand out on its own. I should work on that myself.

That is better, all models tried so far do conform to standard ones in seating, though that right hand position isn't exactly on the steering grips. But still good.

It gets a little silly when the player/bot has a shield belt:

Showing the seated position is representational, as the shield shows exactly where the player is in the vehicle. Which is okay, similar effect noticable with the other vehicles as well.

If anyone experience lags when water zone produce splashes - please provide video about it.
If it is too laggy for record video you can make screeshots with enabled FPS counter (command timedemo 1 in console). One in idle, second on biggest lag.
You can also turn additional info, via command stat fps global hardware, before record video or take sshots.

Useful commands:
loaded - all weapons.
allammo - 999 ammo for every weapon.

Maps CTF-XV-Bania-v824 or CTF-XV-Towers-of-Power-v1 greatly fit for this.

It can be look like that:
