Jo Man Dragon 0 Posted October 7, 2002 Hey, what do you think about the list of changes in the new patch? I love it, especially the civilian bycicle....lol I hope it will be as good as it sounds... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whisperFFW06 0 Posted October 7, 2002 This sounds awesome, especially for mission editing. It seems that there will be some ability to use files during a mission..... Events programming seems a HUGE improvement. It has incredible possibilities. For all pple complaining about the lack of statistics for players, this could be solved by event programming and file handling. Results could now be saved (I hope so) so that a script could update a web page with statistics. And with the closing dialogs on mission end, we will be able to use the wonderful Kegetys spectator script. I hope I'm not dreaming too much after having read Maruk's post, cause from a mission maker point of view, the possibilities are huge. Whis' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blomstermann 0 Posted October 7, 2002 It sure does sound nice. But we are on #ofpec wonderring what this exactly means: - New: Scripting: Function "private" introduces local variable in the innermost scope. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whisperFFW06 0 Posted October 7, 2002 SK, what I meant by stats was things like : accuracy with M21, preferred weapon, mostly killed by M16/Grenade/etc... AFAIK, there is no prog as precise as this.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 28 Posted October 7, 2002 As the old adage says "Good things come to those who wait" and with Bis that always seems true, I can't wait for it to come out and I've cleaned out space on my ISP server to mirror it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyles 11 Posted October 7, 2002 W00t! This is indeed good news. I really love that they listened to us regarding the tanks. I also appreciate that they even took their time to repair some radio menue items and the like. Thumps up! However, I am a little disappointed that some problems don't seem to be rated as serious issues by the developers. Namely, this would be: Abuse of "lock-on" in muliplayer games (wildly clicking on a very far away area in the hope to catch a target box of a yet non-visible enemy unit), consistance of weapon damage (why is a 5.56 bullet from a G36E more likely to kill than a 5.56 from a M16, and why is a 7.62 not more devastating than a 5.56), missing or swapped .paa icons in the equipment menu (always this annoying mssg for green smoke and strela; g3 and fal were swapped; at4 uses carlgustav image;...), AI improvements (better pathfinding; aviation formations like seen in the resistance preview video; no more mid-air crashs;...) and a slightly more optimized radio command system (i.e. "ALL EXCEPT 2, GO TO.." instead of 1,3,4,5 GO TO..) with a rework of the radio priority so you can issue fire commands and navigation orders without having to wait until a 'enemy spotted' message is done. Furthermore, the long mentioned Ural w/o cover, UAZ w/ PK and MI-17 w/o missiles would have been easy to make but great in effect, because of the new variety. Another few features, which I would have liked to see in the patch was: Option for the tank commander to order gunners where to point the turret (badly needed for the bradley), more MP customizing variables (server-side deactivation of manual fire, ..); a more logic seat management for vehicles (be able to change seats while moving as long as this position could be reached like changing from backseat to gunner in M113 or from commander to gunner in M60, and removing the option to change from positions which could not be reached without exiting the vehicle like from gunner to driver on M1), a little rework of the full auto-mode, which will always trigger 2-5 shots (depending on the real ROF) which makes using this mode less predictable, especially for MGs; and lastly, a bipod feature for machineguns, which would increase accuracy when deployed. Don't get me wrong, the patch WILL be great. I will be looking forward to it, but these "few" things were on my personal list what i would have liked to see. Ah well, maybe with the next patch, if there will be one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
