Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
Based off geti's code, you can just change ZeroG.lua in BW.rte/Maps to get better Zero Grav for every one who change their DeltaTime to this: Code: function Create(self) x = self; end
function Destroy(self)
end
function Update(self) --Any actor inside this will get his vertical velocity reduced from the scenes gravity or something. Zero gravity is what it does anyways. for actor in MovableMan.Actors do if (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 48) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 48) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 49) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 49) then actor.Vel.Y = actor.Vel.Y - (SceneMan.GlobalAcc.Y * TimerMan.DeltaTimeMS) --NOTE, that typo is an accident so watch when youre using this variable. It has a C where a B is due. --actor.Vel.Y = actor.Vel.Y - SceneMan.Scene.GlobalAcceleration.Y end end --Same for items for item in MovableMan.Items do if (item.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 48) and (item.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 48) and (item.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 49) and (item.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 49) then --item.Vel.Y = item.Vel.Y - SceneMan.Scene.GlobalAcceleration.Y item.Vel.Y = item.Vel.Y - (SceneMan.GlobalAcc.Y * TimerMan.DeltaTimeMS) end end end

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
This is an awesome mod well worth the wait, i love the blind fire mechanic you've gone for, same with the vortex grenade and the rail rifle is possibly the greatest sniper ever

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
I did that already. The problem is that it's still fps based. If the fps is below 60 you will slowly fall down in the module. To make it work always we'd need an fps variable. Actually, I'll just make my own fps counter.

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
It doesn't work, how did you guys reach the 0.06667 value?

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
Its deltatime in seconds. Also, mail should've written TimerMan.DeltaTimeSecs. Which is 0.016667.

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
Typical fantastic quality we've come to expect from you, Numgun! I love it. Ignore these killjoys in the last page or so.
A few things though:
I love the description boxes in the buyer menu, but it gets difficult to remember which grenades to what. I would either 1. Be more specific on naming 2. Make the sprites more specialized; like the toxic grenade which is green and the clear health kit grenade, more like those.
I do like the final product merc, he looks like a really heavy and cool coalition trooper. But I also kinda miss the big awesome dude from the mod making pictures, even if he does look like the old AAL marine. Maybe multiple mercenary types?
I am nitpicking here; that's because as a whole the mod is impeccable. I think the sprites are highly detailed and interesting.
All in all; I love choice; this mod adds a ton of fantastic and unique weapons. I run a browncoat around with the dearmaster and wilma (or whatever that pistol is) and play Firefly ;p.
I'm going to go and battle the mercs against AAL and see who wins, haha!

Heh, this is not nitpicking, this is proper critism on valid things like the names on the bombs. I will change those and see if I can improve the sprites on some of them to make them look like what they do. As for the old ugly, ugly merc, no, I'm not gonna do that. For one he was ugly. He was too big that he couldnt move well in average bunkers. And then the way he was made has its flaws. When you make an actor that is viewed more from the front than the side, his climbing, crawling and all other limbpath related things are messed up. As for multiple mercenary types, the only thing I'd do is a juggernaut merc. He'd be really fat and covered with very thick armor. But I dont have time nor proper motivation to work on that, so maybe further in the future. As for AAL, I played it yesterday and compared this mod with it and I got a whole new bunch of ideas and found some bugs in it. I'm intended to supercharge the faction in terms of firepower and agility. And also add some Lua scripting to aid a couple things like killing units that have the regen system.

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
Why do the shells still not spin? This is the official release, is it not? Anyway, I think the mercenary actor would be great as a heavy coalition unit for the vanilla content.

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
about -1 difficulty, it involves leaving out the orienttovel variable from the code.

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
I left that out to reduce lag. They were initially MOSR, but soon I realized it was no good since especially on the minigun, it would spew enourmous amounts of MOSR really fast. I didnt feel like making 4 frames for every 6 shell in the mod because it just doesnt matter to me at all that they spin or not. Also I was right about not letting FZ beta test.

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
Man, dreadnoughts used to be a ♥♥♥♥♥ to kill with vanilla weapons... Now, throw in the Deermaster 9k and you get a dreadnought in 20 pieces.
In that case, then why the hell does it take 5-10 shots to kill the pathetic little turret AFTER you have already taken its armor off? Who made that thing?

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
Okay, this is really weird in a good way. I used the telekinesis master that just releases with the particle accelerator field. Looked cool, lots of lights and crap going everywhere. But now the fields don't go away. Its just the ones I used telekinesis on. It's....kinda cool now. I can experiment with it now. Oh, and do NOT use the unitec clorox cleaner with it. MEGA TERRAIN RAPE.
And FZ, I think you are viewed as(and myself sometimes I suppose)...a bit of an annoyance. You're like that annoying kid in the classroom who says obnoxious stuff without helping it. And won't shut up about it. Kinda. I dunno.
Also, all these awesome lua things have got me thinking.....anyone heard of Psi-Ops?
edit: I dunno if this has anything to do with it, but the glow disappears. Is what controls the glow connected to the lifetime or somesuch?

Re: ***Ballistic Weapons: Mercenaries!***
this mod's sprites are ugly the main actor is boring (which could be fixed with some sort of Lua gimmick) and the guns are oversized.
there's my two cents. i still like it, playing it as i type this, it just needs some ♥♥♥♥ fixed up.
