XVehicles (Network play) (VCTF, VMH for UT99)

[EvilGrins]

Bit of a learning curve with those:

· Despite being in the air, there's a kinda Tokyo Drift aspect as they sorta slide to the sides when they turn.
· Getting the hang of aiming that way is gonna be tricky.
· Moving side to side and up and down is only slightly hampered by where my keyboard controls for those are.

Got exact 1000 of this in server's log today just after game start (XVehiclesV13):

Sometimes when entering and leaving a vehicle, it makes your inventory weapons unusable AND unselectable (unchangeable?). The current workaround requires dropping the bugged weapon and picking it up again.

If the current weapon is undroppable like the Translocator, you'll have to enter the vehicle again to be able to scroll between weapons, then leave again, because you can't change the selected weapon in this bugged state.

@Barbie Instead of 'sort --unique' you can just use the command 'uniq'!

Unknown0C for Heli control.

This can happen with foreign keyboards. For instance, the backslash and pipe are their own key in Brazilian keyboards like mine. Thus, binding to backslash requires, if I recall correctly, UnknownC8 (rather than Unknown0C.. hex values I guess? )

CTF-XV-Hydro16-v1

Sektor might kill me because of the pathing, but I've been doing XV related edits to CTF-Hydro16. I also did some changes in the level geometry, to make the level more cozy for vehicles.

I also added a few extra items (not just the Fix Gun) because in the original map the bots weren't interested in exploring the crevices of the map a lot, and I wanted to make use of those to place vehicles, so I'd need to give bots an excuse to "wander into" a vehicle's corner.

I even had to redo one of the sniper areas because it had disappeared at some point... for some reason... and obviously I had to fix that. Overall quite a bit of work.

This is not the final version, I hope it works fine.

Qm hash on IPFS is QmaG9Y44hcJGymQmq9iRZnsuMAX6xCYhKXSJUcmyRPhjZJ.

Requires X-Vehicles at least v13.

[Buggie]

Problems with weapons usually caused by aggressive mods. On Normal UT no any problem with that.
For map better make separate topic. With screens.

[Gustavo6046]

Oh, okay. Oops!

Also, v1 is already outdated. I'll go make a topic.

I not really how can this happen. Code guarded in "if" check for None.
Possible recursive call PassengerLeave.

Also for lost inventory bug I need exactly steps for reproduce, because currently can not narrow bug.

[Old UT Veteran]

A variant of the siege/onslaught gametype would also work nicely since we have functional vehicles. Instead of items + fortifications, we can use vehicles to 'destroy' the enemy base.

[OjitroC]

If I set the vehicles/factories to no team (that is to 255), I get this log error

Code: Select all

CybotHelicoFactory2 (Function XVehicles.VehicleFactory.Timer:01AB) Accessed array 'TeamOverlays' out of bounds (255/4)

That doesn't affect what happens in-game as the vehicles have no team assigned.

This setting in the XVehicles.ini doesn't seem to work

Code: Select all

[XVehicles.DriverWeapon]
UseStandardCrosshair=True

I set that to True as I was hoping to get rid of the red dot in the CybotHelico's crosshair as it obscures small ground targets (single pawns).

[Buggie]

Just use team 0-3 with disabled team lock. 255 not allowed here.

Red dot can not disable. And this setting moved and not work anymore.

[OjitroC]

Any plans to improve the alignment of the red dot and the centre of the crosshair for off-line play with the CybotHelico? Firing downwards from certain angles can be inaccurate (projectiles may go to the centre of the crosshair rather than the red dot or vice versa and it's a matter of trial and error to determine which is the case in any given situation) as they are sometimes not aligned.

[Buggie]

In fact I already fix that for next release. So wait when I able upload it.

[papercoffee]

@papercoffee: Remember years ago when I released NW3, that you thought it would be cool to be able to guide the cybot helis?
Well, not 100% the same, but see above.

Very close indeed

[Buggie]

v15

- fix throw too far small things on bump.
- fix use teams out of range on factories.
- more precise red aim mark.
- more precies calculate gun rotation.

[EvilGrins]

I like that you brought back the ability to run over players on other teams to make them into roadkill in v14.
