I'm hoping it was to make future downloads smaller...

Today's update did this to the Carrier GL Rig. I'm using a custom RVMAT that worked completely fine before today, all it changes is the diffuse and ambient levels.

 

Carrier GL Rigs are also broken on stable, RVMATs aren't loaded:

So this is regarding stable branch, but i haven't seen any related dev updates since 1.72 hit stable.

 

The centurion still behaves really weirdly, even with EMCON forced active:

  1. it refuses to engage radar contacts
  2. shuts off its radar after a while
  3. uses its visual sensor to lock once target is ~2km from it
  4. it turns on its radar after it's started to acquire a lock; you get a lock warning even though there's no radar detected.
  5. then fires one missile after another with very little time between both

The problem with 5 is that by the time you've dealt with one missile, 1 or 2 more are on the way. It seems a bit unrealistic too, IRL a SAM probably wouldn't waste so many missiles on a single target. Additionally, depending on guidance systems, not sure if the system can lock a target if it's still guiding the last missile.

THis is exactly the behavior you exspect from an Anti Aircraft missile battery. Even much older systems could fore multiple missiles on one target. Multi Missile strike is even an otion for 80's aircraft, the russians always liked it and even made an automated mutiple launch option availabe for all plattforms. When the PK (probability of Kill) of a missile is low it is quite logical to counter that with more missiles. Another workaround in russian missile tactics was the ripple fire mode of a Radar and a IR seeker missile of the same rocket booster setup (R-27R and R-27T)

Any news on that Apex SP campaign overhaul? I've just bought Apex and it is just as bad as they say. I think this could be much more enjoyable if it was converted to proper SP setup (or at least given a few bots...).

I thought they already made changes so you can play in Single Player. I didn't find any issues when playing in SP mode.

I thought the plan was to make it "really" single player. The current "single player multiplayer" version lack the ability to save, and even more importantly, you cannot pause them since the action will not stop in multiplayer. Good luck answering that phone call (or a call of nature) :)

Exactly. I couldn't see any option to play with AI teammates, either, which is the biggest problem when playing solo. It's not terrible right now, just bad. You sometimes have to abuse the respawn mechanic, especially during the later missions, when you'd have much better chances with a squad (the short periods where you're supported by Raider One are much more manageable just because there are friendly AIs around).

 Theres no way the current state is what they offered up -if it is im taking my ball and going home. Anyone with 5 minutes could add the level of SP if not more than the state it is in now -that would be a spit in the face of the singlePlayer fanbase. Not too to hard to notice around the forums and elsewhere that the SP fanbase is none too happy and feel neglected. Im pretty sure BI get this and will offer up something more worthwhile for us.

Yeah, it's especially sad since the actual missions are pretty decent if you ignore the mechanics. The second to last one is actually downright awesome even despite them, though you do have to play your cards exactly right and be very careful if you want to get through it completely solo and without dying even once. The third one is a complete nightmare, on the other hand.

Personally I think the best option without them making it an entirely new mode with SP saving and whatnot, would be to leave it as is, add grouped AI to fill the empty slots, and make BI's new revive system grouped AI compatible. It was hinted at when revive was first announced that it might be AI friendly someday. Still holding out hope they'll add that feature. It would add a lot of flexibility for official COOP/MP game modes, making them work with lone wolves, without having to have separate versions of every mission/mode.

 

AI compatible revive I feel like is the missing key here. And the best part is, it's possible with the revive BIS created: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=922953518

I'm getting an error when trying to track the 155mm scorcher shell with a custom bullet trace script.

Script works fine on stable.

18:12:18   Error position: <: shell.p3d,1780212: <no shape>,"1"] cal>
18:12:18   Error :: Type Number, expected switch

 

Anyone else?

Seems like Eden eventhandlers are sometimes not executed when the Editor is directly opened via the startup paramter.

This illogically triggers both terrainnew and missionnew events (which are triggered when you open the editor) although it should logically trigger missionload event instead of missionnew since the mission is loaded, not new...

EDIT:
Oops, was a bit triggerhappy, it actually does execute missionload and missionew and terrainnew, in that order.
Still a bit illogical to have missionew triggered in this situation though..

Edited by h -
premature resulting

It's kinda weird. The following works fine in all cases:

 

    class EventHandlers
    {
        class ENH
        {
            onTerrainNew = "['init'] call BIS_fnc_3DENStatusBar; 'ONLOAD' call Enh_fnc_3denRadio_toggleRadio; [] spawn Enh_fnc_sessionTimer; [false] call Enh_fnc_showFPS";
            onMissionPreviewEnd = "'ONLOAD' call Enh_fnc_3denRadio_toggleRadio; [] spawn Enh_fnc_sessionTimer; [false] call Enh_fnc_showFPS";
        };
    };

 

However, if I now want to check the Eden Eventhandlers via config viewer it looks like this:

I am probably missing something very obvious...

Well that explains the "expected switch" message then.

Ditched the old BIS fnc and changed it to addMissionEventHandler, working fine now.

I think that's just the configviewer doing weird things, you can see it in your gif, when you double click the Cfg3DEN -> Eventhandlers open the viewer for some reason jumps to some empty class eventhandlers way down in the list.

Scroll back up to Cfg3DEN and the handlers are there, at least that way it is for me on current dev.. :shrug:

It is always possible that something is wrong somewhere..
Latest eden enhanced works fine for me, no missing things on status bar or anything, tried dozens of times and everything works just fine :shrug:

Not saying the ticket is not valid, eden is quite fickle (on the modding side) so most likely mileage varies.
