1.3 Public Beta 2 bugs

[Angstromicus]

I believe the annoying physics bug where being instnatly damaged by kickvelocity still exists.

I have two units to example this:

Demon Scout:
2500 Health - Heavy Armor
Same Size as a regular scout.

Dragoon Cobra Tank:
35000 Health - Heavy Armor
15 Percent smaller than a regular scout.

Both vehicles when hit by a kick velocity of 70 (edit: radius is 35), and damaged by- direct hit: 120,  explosion- 72 (radius is 40).

Unrelated to the original issue but you're using the full geometry of a scout for a 'ghost' shield effect?  That's a LOT of polys...

Switching servers seemed to stop working in 1.2. It was fine in 1.1 using the /newserver [NAME] command, i always used to then...but now....

As for that shell merge thing, on mine ive only so far seen, well, heared the music merge, no images as of yet :s

As for those problems, you know what todo, dont use Scrap Valley

I agree the first thing to sort is the visual lag (the lead target behind thingy in other words)

Scavs...just...dont go there


Wow, that was a pointless post...sorry, bored...

OH! For some reason my login screen decided to mute (music not SFX) dunno why...mayb gameprefs? Though i edited nothing todo with shells or anything...wierd how the button sounds work and the music stops...Its fine on all other screens.

[GSH]

If it's a "major" bug, then perhaps explaining it a bit better might help. All I see is a bunch of random numbers.

[General BlackDragon]

i like the kickvelocity doing damage, makes things more realistic!

[ScarleTomato]

If your having trouble with missing sounds raven, chech how many channels are set in the sound options. For some reason my install set them both to 1.

What exactly does kickVelocity do?

[Angstromicus]

Awww man... I didn't explain it good...

Okay! Here we go again.

Kick velocity seems to do damage on its own, instead of the velocity at which you hit something doing damage.

The instant kick velocity is applied to a moveable object (it has to be relatively high), it takes damage. This should be a known bug from 1.3pb1.

If you didn't understand that, I'll be a bit more creative.

Imagine you are driving a car, (a heavily armored car), and a bomb explodes, hurling your car at 50 mph towards a wall of solid titanium (or diamond/kevlar/something really hard). The wall is 200 meters from the car. The instant your car moves towards that wall, it takes damage as if it hit the wall at 500 mph before it even touches it (meaning it takes MASSIVE damage). But, the car dosen't stop, it keeps flying towards the wall.

[General BlackDragon]

umm...it works good like it is, tone down the kick velocity lol.

[Angstromicus]

Bah... Such limitations!

[General BlackDragon]

oh yah, and get on msn sometime! lol

[Raven]

I figured it out anyway Scarletomato, i made the version on "false" so it doesnt show, and the music then stopped wotking. It worked on original as i left it, but after changing that for my mod, it stopped. And i doubt moving the radar will do much to sound :p so thats it.

AV while playing an MPI Game on MPIHilo.

I guess I'm the only one that got the AV, as the game's still going on.

Was us ISDF vs Scion was in a Chain Scout engaging them near their base.
