katipo66 94 Posted July 15, 2012 Just a little something that might make its way into ACE soon. That was really very cool, it would be awesome to have a very light smoulder option so the vehicle continues to smoke long after it's destroyed, it's always a bit off putting when one minute a vehicle is raging with fire and then within seconds it's completely out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted July 15, 2012 Nouber has the best youtube account. Why do the HE round detonations occasionally have different sounds? And what is the nature of the thrown projectiles marked by debug smoke trails? Also, I have a question about ACEX_SM. Nowadays, smoke grenades make strange sounds. Perhaps 2/3 through the duration of the smoke, the grenade itself makes the sound of a single bullet impact. I was playing with Tactical Gamer last night, and half a dozen times I had to calm people down and assure them that we weren't under fire, it was just their smoke. Why on earth do the smoke grenades do this? If it's a realism thing, I'm curious as to what's being modeled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noubernou 77 Posted July 15, 2012 Different caliber of rounds cooking off. The smaller caliber (5.56 & 7.62) need to not have the big cook off explosion effect. The tracers are showing where the cooked projectiles are shooting off too. Probably need to tone that down a bit too (was tweaking it last night). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePredator 0 Posted July 15, 2012 But you are aware that those cooked off projectiles are by far not as dangerous as chambered rounds? Otherwise we would not be allowed to transport up to 50kg without a fire extinguisher in our cars :D And the hull of the wreck will hold off most of the cooked off rounds, since they do not have the energy of penetrating the vehicle. The sounds are nice, but I doubt small arms ammunition will detonate after such a long time. The ignition temperature is rather low taken into account that the vehicle burns with several hundred if not a thousand centigrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GR7 1 Posted July 15, 2012 Is there any guide to preparing ammo for mortars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could your use the 12.7mm API impact FX for the smaller caliber rounds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b00ce 160 Posted July 16, 2012 Don't T-72s pop their lids when they cook off, especially when explosive as that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m1n1d0u 29 Posted July 16, 2012 it's very similar than the Syrian BMP video , also i have a special request , i know when you hit the Ammo sometimes you can have some FX like that : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b00ce 160 Posted July 16, 2012 Does the ammo cooking off inside the tank stay inside and "bounce around" killing the occupants, if the fire didn't already get them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sakowski 1 Posted July 16, 2012 I got a question, I have added a magicbox to my mission however as the magicbox should have everyweapon inside it does not actually have every weapon? It has some AK's and then just equipment, what is the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b00ce 160 Posted July 16, 2012 Sweet Jesus, that's brutal. So if the vehicle that is on fire doesn't have any ammo, does it still have cook offs? And does ammo in the vehicle's cargo cook off too? I got a question, I have added a magicbox to my mission however as the magicbox should have everyweapon inside it does not actually have every weapon? It has some AK's and then just equipment, what is the problem? The Magic box only displays weapons/items/ammo for the units "side". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then how can I get a box full of every weapon for every faction with ACE ones as well, I am pretty sure I saw every ACE Domination having that kind of box with every weapon...

Sandy106 1 Posted July 17, 2012 Are the timers on satchels broken? If I select the 2 minute detonation option they won't go off at all. There's a mission I'm trying to play right now thats completely broken because of that :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b00ce 160 Posted July 17, 2012 You have to set the time and then arm the satchel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noubernou 77 Posted July 17, 2012 Performance for this is disturbingly... good. Had a test last night with 10 people running around blowing up dozens of vehicles at a time and experienced no desync. Since we were destroying more vehicles at once then any normal game would have it seems like it will scale well. Did run into a bug where sometimes sound sources do not get deleted by the engine... That is fun, but it seems like a result of again more than a realistic amount of vehicles exploding at once (read BM-21 truck farm with 50 trucks and their rockets cooking off and flying everywhere!). Also I have implemented the "syria tank blow torch" effect on vehicles that have a commander slot... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
