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

[Buggie]

Yea. Idea, like that. I plan include such class/int file in next XV version.

However name for package and int file which you choose, already taken - I already have vehiclectf.u and vehiclectf.int in my System folder, from some other mod.

Did you manage to fix the bots driving in reverse?

[Buggie]

It is not a bug, it is a feature, added explicit.
High-skilled players too drive backward if need to.

And when the raptor from UT2004 will be released?

[Buggie]

It basically same as heli. However add it not planned yet.

[darkbarrage99]

not sure if this is the appropriate place to share this, but i thought it was pretty cool and that i should share for inspiration.

I was browsing UT2004 mods and came across this "Link Scorpion" mod. Link Scorpions fire Linkgun Beams instead of the green net bomb of the default scorpion, and it feels good and balanced. The Beam Requires good aim, just like the regular Linkgun. You can heal other vehicles with it as well. it also has a bunch of other options available to tinker with, I imagine the author of the mod left it pretty open for experimenting with settings and balance. I feel it could be better suited for a modded hellbender type vehicle, but i still like it.

v61

With the update of XV now we cant change the camera position, the angle of vision of all tanks with the mouse wheel or Delete key on Barbies Monsterhunt Tank World.
I see there are new mutate binds for camera position but why disable mouse wheel? The help menu in top right of screen still show mouse wheel and Delete key for this.

[Buggie]

I forgot update help. For Camera, you need use new keybind "mutate VehicleCamera". You can set it on keys whatever you want. For example mouse wheel or key Delete.
Before it use attempt change weapon for that, now it split, and can be used separate, since sometimes you need select weapon inside vehicle, for later use on exit.
I understand for MH it is not very actual, but for VCTF it is question of life or death.

You can use simple setup for one key, via gui menu (called via say in chat "!xv") or any custom setup via console command "preferences".

[OVH]

With the gui its easy thanks
