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

[Barbie]

Code: Select all

    SetPropertyText("P", A.GetPropertyText("Passengers"));
    Log("Passenger[0]:" @ P);

Sadly Get-/SetPropertyText cannot handle arrays. Are there vehicles that allow more than one passenger?

[Buggie]

It can be up to 8 passengers, but there no such vehicles.
And I not see any reason for appear it in future.
In ut2004 there almost not exists such vehicles. Only Leviathan (5) which not really used.
Hellbender allow 3 seats also.

Weapon lockers don't work very well with weapon mods like Nali Weapons 3.

Here are some issues that happen with NW3, and probably other weapon mods:

• The weapon lockers don't restock the default weapon ammo count. If you try, it'll just keep the same ammo count you already had. It'll only do that for weapons you don't have yet.
• Infinite ammo can be acquired by dropping a weapon, then restocking on a locker; no need to pick the weapon back up. This probably has to do with it giving the same weapon again, which is replaced by the weapon mod, and then adds Weapon's AmmoCount again.
• Worst of all, repetitive Bot behaviour – they walk back and forth to the weapon locker, probably expecting the default weapon classes, but since they get the modded weapons instead, they keep trying again, thinking they didn't get the default weapons that the locker "promised".

This is probably not high priority, since mod intercompatibility is usually hard to do anyway. But I'll post it here so at least it's recorded.

Some notes about VCTF maps:

1. If area near flag is too open, attacker vehicle be blown up before actually reach flag.

2. If area near flag it too close, attackers not able get out on vehicle before be blown up.

3. If player need travel long for reach flag it is boring and make useless play if no free vehicle near.

4. Must be at least 3 ways for reach flag base.

5. Ways to bases must be wide enough.

6. Using very long straight corridors make vehicle good target for chasing team.

Good example of maps:

• CTF-XV-BL00DBATH-V6
• CTF-XV-Veniis-Rezq-Fix-1
• CTF-XV-HaLfpiPe~
• CTF-XV-FacingAss-MiA-Rev-XI
• CTF-XV-No_Name_Yet_B2

Bump!

Leaving here the heads-up that the Unreal Archive now has an exclusive category for XVehicles maps. It can detect AS-XV-, CTF-XV-, DM-XV- DOM-XV- and MH-XV- maps. With all the maps that are springing up as of late, it would be a good idea to store them here.

Yeah, that's good - only one there though so the rest need to be uploaded

A pedantic note - CTFM-XV and MH-XVehicles also need to be detected.

It would be of value if the XVehicles mod itself were on UA.

A wider point is that very little that is posted on this forum (maps, mods, mutators, etc) seems to end up on UA - even the latest versions of MH aren't there.

[Neon_Knight]

But... but... but... I've mentioned that MH-XV is detected!

[OjitroC]

I was thinking more of the prefix of MH-XVehicles- as opposed to MHXV- but I suppose detection is based more on packages (or the presence of various XVehicles in a map) than on map prefix?

[Neon_Knight]

It's based on map prefix, but the list I've uploaded has lots of MH-XV-

And, honestly, it's better that way. Too many characters in a map name is never a good idea.

Unreal Archive targeted only to final versions (stated in rules). My conversion never be final. I can popup with new version in anytime. So it never be object of Unreal Archive.

EvilGrins has 3 maps with the 'MH-XVehicles-' prefix - they'll work with the original XVehicles or with Buggie's updates (though they won't have the XVehiclesMH mutator that Buggie's MH XVehicles maps do they'll still be playable of course).

[EvilGrins]

EvilGrins has 3 maps with the 'MH-XVehicles-' prefix

That's mainly as there was no prefix at the time, this was before Buggie started upgrading it, and it didn't occur to me back then to simply opt for XV.

Yeah, I realise that. I was merely drawing attention to the need to check for that map prefix as well so that they are included in UA's XVehicles map category.

[Gustavo6046]

Can we expect CTF4 support any time soon?

What type of support?

XV already can be mapped to CTF4, it's just a matter of finding the right maps.
