Im a CS 1337 t0 <span id='postcolor'>

Sorry for posting Off-topic, but my CS (Half-Life in generl) is broken.

Whenever I try to go on multiplayer with a mod and join a server, The Half-Life Window goes small, so i can see the buttom and top side of my right desktop. Then, the Half-Life exe disspears from my start Bar.

And myy MOUSE freezes. (and HL, too)

And the only way to get out is to Ctrl+Alt+del and End Task on HL.

Soryy fort he off topic post, but I wanna be a "l337 CS h@x0r d00d" toooooooo!  <span id='postcolor'>

first it isnt l33t 0r l337 its 1337 f0r Leet

H@X0R

d00d

Actually its just stupid

How do you plan to work the targeting for the artillery Evis? I hope you can make it as realistic as possible, but I doubt it with the way OFP works. Keep up the good work though, I cant wait for you to get O2.

[Eviscerator 0]

thats the main problem, im going to have to think about it, at the minute the only way i can see it working is if the player is commander and there is something like an oh-58(or a spotter) overhead the battlezone spotting enemy, then you tell the ai gunner to attack, but im not sure whether that would work, and i dont think the ai on its own would attack, im going to have to thnk about it with a good .cpper though

[dkraver 1]

For targetting wouldnt it be a idea to make something like when you do the "v" to look at iron sight. But on the arty thing you will get two gauges one saying compas direction in degress not in letters. And the other saying distance combined with angle, so as and example it would say angle 20 degress distance 5000meters and so on. That way you will still have to use the map for leading it and have to use more than one shot to get to your target.

Wow looks nice eviscerator. Keep it up.

By the way have you heard about getting oxygen from BI?

[Miles 0]

is it possible to make dynamic "iron sights" which tell you the degree your aiming and stuff like that? I dont think it is as there is no evidnce in game accept for zooming in.

[Eviscerator 0]

they just have to edit my account here and then i think i get it

[Eviscerator 0]

this is what i have so far, it works for ai at distances of 1.5km as youll see in the screenshot(you need to save the jpg and zoom in to see properly):

I like this idea, if it could be implemented. If not, the next best thing would be using a forward observer of some sort.

[slowyconection 0]

im pretty late 2 aal this but hek...

this arty 1 would be realy cool

u can hit everythin in (filll this space, i dunno)

WoW!

awe3some keep the project goin

[Airdude2 0]

EVIS, i tried my initial tests on firing artillery as a grenade.

my cnclution is that it is pretty bloody hard to get it working well.

i can make it lob ok, but then the A.I won't use it, i can make it like youres but the ai only seems to target something with LINE OF SIGHT.

i've tried everything to make it lob properly, from increasing air resistance, to increasing simulating a missile and giving it extremely low thrust time and extremely high thrust.

for some reason i cannot seem to make the shells delay enough of lob enough.

any expert cpp coders out there???

[Airdude2 0]

ok i got artillery the best i can without oxegen and i'm not sure if that will make it any better. the big problem seems to be the ballistics. the computer will only attack units wit a line of sight, and there seems to be little advantage to anything more than a slight increase in angle, the target would need to be miles away.

i do have the shell falling and you can see it and hear the whistle just before you die.

i've given it a slight disruption to account for chaos theory when the shell is fired.

i think thats where i'll leave it, until oxegen is fully released.

then i might finnish it and maybe see if i can get some wille pete's (white phosphorus (luminescent simulations don't seem to be very compatible)) happenin.
