Parallel parking remains an issue!

[Buggie]

"Parallel parking"?

"Parallel parking"?

Kind of a running gag for vehicles in games...

Spoiler

...the 1st pic on that.

But that specific area of the map up there looks like a parking slot.

You use bots in game mode which they not support, on map which not support vehicles, or moreover bots. OFC they will do strange things.

For bots acts properly, Game mode must be tuned for use bots, same as map. You can't drop vehicles on map and expect good action bots on it.

For example, for VCTF, I usually spent day for convert map to playable state for humans, and at least day for make bots play on it good.
I very doubt if this map tuned for use by bots with vehicles in MH.

Added poll. Please choice your answer.

Found a weird little quirk!

If for some reason you're playing with Instagibs and you get into XV and then get out, you no longer have any weapons.

Almost as though the vehicle ate the instagib.

Weird, right?

[Buggie]

No such problem for me:

Same as before:


You need be more specific and add exact steps for reproduce.
Possible this come from very specific version of Instagib mutator, which you use.
Or other mutator affect it.

[EvilGrins]

I was using the default instagib mutator that came with ut99.

[Buggie]

Me too. And not able reproduce it. You need provide more info. Exact steps for reproduce issue. Clean setup with minimal set of others stuff.

For 1 thing, it was on these maps:
https://unreal-games.livejournal.com/196094.html

Was also running mutators Oldskool, Pinata, Xbots, & of course the instagib.

Pinata was set to drop power ups, NOT weapons... as under instagib there's really only 1 weapon and it's bad to lose it.

Oh, I was playing in Spectator Mode watching bots play under Team Deathmatch, 16 bots to 4 teams.

Try disable all mods, one-by-one, until issue not gone, for find which one cause this. I run now only bots for spec on CTF-XV-SummerVillages - they still exit with weapons.

For fast enter to vehicle without delay, you need set `Crouch` and `Enter to vehicle` to same key. You can do this in UI, called by say in chat `!xv`.

`Crouch` allow you hold button, but work with delay.
`Enter to vehicle` allow you enter to vehicle without delay, but not allow you hold button. It work once, when you press. if you continue hold button, it not work like `Crouch`.

When you set both for same key, you take best from both worlds, and this allow you very fast enter to vehicle, without delay.

Also `Enter to vehicle` pick *closest* vehicle to you, when `Crouch` enter to *some* vehicle near.

In fact vehicle periodically search crouch players near, and pick up them on board, if this possible. When `Enter to vehicle` search closest vehicle and try enter here.

On an unrelated note · viewtopic.php?p=18002 · I found the SUPER BOTS of the Golden Reavers mutator can drive the Xvehicles.

[Buggie]

Nothing unexpected, since it just usual bot with little changed properties.
