Preliminary Physics Tweaks Posted

[Red Devil]

Go get the new build, duder.

"the devs are working on an update that have improved physics"


And the Visual targeting fix?

[Red Devil]

First things first.  All things are connected.  Gosh, I'm starting to sound like Master Po.  "Grasshoppa!  Again!  Again!"

The cost of your smooth scout was my broken Scavs... 

I fixed the ScavengerH problem.  When I added support for AssaultHover, I changed HoverCraft to use strafe-to-steer for class_id CLASS_ID_VEHICLE (normally used by tracked and walker types).  However, ScavengerH and ConstructionRig both used that type even when overriding it with hover physics.  I set those types to class_id CLASS_ID_CRAFT when using hover physics, and that should make them work again.

Seriously, though, RD's right in that any further ODF experimentation should be held until Ken finishes whatever he's doing. 

Thing is, I'm not sure what I did. 

I noticed the same thing, it feels a LOT smoother now.  If we could get a little more control while in the air it'd feel JUST like BZ1.

I still dont understand why not take someone from the vet community, who knows what he's doing to help beta test and suggest & test in private

Are you volunteering?   

Ken, I don't know what happened either.  I was backing halfway up the hill behind the CCA Recycler in "Three Beacons" when I realized how smooth it felt.  Something is different but it's not really in your face...

Whatever it is I like it... 

And thanks for fixing 'my' Scavs, the whole BZC mod depends on them.

as long as its in the community's best intrest I dont mind.

though I must say I think appel will fit more for this job as he always shows more motivation to fix things than I, he's also more imaginitve and probably even more helpful than me.

The thing I notice about the Scouts/hovercraft is that they have less drag now.

PF, I think another release will be coming soon.  Mostly compiler switches and technical things like that going on now.

"Vets" had a chance to participate in the past. They blew it.

Let's not dig up the past...  please.

Vets can participate now by trying the beta and giving their feedback here, instead of sticking to their own boards badmouthing the beta as not having vets participating...  this IS the time for them to participate, although they need to do it in a dispassionate and non-personal way.

And do it here.

Not there.

Here.

Space is on the beta team, don't know if he realizes it though.

[looks down and scuffs the dirt with his foot]

I'm a...vet.  Been playing BZ since before BZ first came out.

[APCs r evil]

Well you meet the time requirement. What about the skill requirement though? 

[General BlackDragon]

[OvermindDL1]

Ditto.
