Jinef 2 Posted September 9, 2003 That sounds like a very good solution, as you can siphon fuel from one car to other Fuel is not such a huge issue in OFP as the vehicles in OFP carry enough to send a rocket to the moon anyway. But ammunition is vital. Also you would only get the refuel option if you were close to it in another vehicle, which happens far less regularly than standing next to a vehicle. Thanks for listening Goldmember, i love game makers and addons makers (or shall we consider you an artist with those explosions?) who actually listen to the feedback people give them.

goldmember 0 Posted September 9, 2003 Fuel is not such a huge issue in OFP as the vehicles in OFP carry enough to send a rocket to the moon anyway. But ammunition is vital. Also you would only get the refuel option if you were close to it in another vehicle, which happens far less regularly than standing next to a vehicle. I tested ''transportfuel" version it works fine. In the next version I fix it. ------------------------------------------ I have problems when and how to activate longsmoke effect. Firstly, basic OFP smoke - after vehicle destroyed - wide and short in size. If I put longsmoke effect - which is tall and not as wide - into this, won't look nice. Secondly, basic OFP smoke sometimes not black rather brown&grey. Unfurtunately I don't know what determines the color of that smoke. This also spoils black longsmoke effect. Not to mention that black smoke will last longer than brown&grey.To reduce this inconveniences I decided to not start longsmoke immediately after destruction instead delayed 30-50 seconds. During this time basic OFP smoke is fading enough to not "disturb" my smoke. And effect are connected to two events. Only starts if vehicle burning already or secondary ammoexplosion can activate it. Because of this you won't see longsmoke allways. During tonight I upload a betaversion you can see how it works till now. IF everybody has another Idea I listen it or just tell me you not care about myproblem and I launch that longsmoke right after vehicle destroyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goldmember 0 Posted September 9, 2003 I upload BETA verison. Zip contains one file - GMR.pbo - just replace old one with this. In pbo there is a file called exp_init.sqs where you should change values ( smoking time, burning time, etc.). Firstly test it on tanks and apc's. link to: GMR_exploMODv1.42BETA.zip http://au.briefcase.yahoo.com/ id: a_goldmember password: faszkalap GMR_exploMOD directory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeyCat 131 Posted September 10, 2003 Just tried the new beta and really like the taller smoke columns! This mod adds so much to the "feeling" that now since it works in MP I can't play without it  One minor thing.... In version 1.31 you added this feature: - crew of disabled tank -if tank can not fire or move- leave the vehicle It's a great idea but I really think the crew should only leave the vehicle if they can not fire their guns and not jump out in the middle of the battle if you just blow one track. Thanks for your hard work! /Christer (a.k.a KeyCat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted September 10, 2003 One minor thing.... In version 1.31 you added this feature: - crew of disabled tank -if tank can not fire or move- leave the vehicle It's a great idea but I really think the crew should only leave the vehicle if they can not fire their guns (or out of ammo) and not jump out in the middle of the battle if you just blow one track. I'm not sure what you're suggesting. I would expect the crew to stay in until both firing and movement are totally damaged. However, if a tank can move but no longer fire, I would like to see the tank retreat, as the tank no longer serves a purpose other than (questionably) protecting the crew in retreat.

KeyCat 131 Posted September 10, 2003 As it is now (since ver 1.31) the tank crew leaves a tank if they can't fire or if they can't move and you can use that to your advantage in a unrealistic way, i.e fire one LAW that disables a track and wait until the crew jumps out and kill them with your handguns - major threath eliminated! In a real situation I belive the crew would stay in the tank even if it was imobilized since it gives them more protection and the tank is still somewhat usefull since it can fire it's gun. So what I'm suggesting is that they should only leave the tank when it's not usefull (i.e can't fire) Would be nice to have them retreating if gun is damaged (or out of ammo) but I think it will be hard for GM to solve that in the explomod since he never knows where they should go when retreating, probably better to leave this to the mission designer. /Christer (a.k.a KeyCat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, I agree. You mean the GMR mod makes them jump out when the gun still works? Cowards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goldmember 0 Posted September 10, 2003 OK, I agree. You mean the GMR mod makes them jump out when the gun still works? Cowards! Don't panik! I make this feature optional in next version. BTW you have to noticed when tank is disabled 8 or 9 times from 10 the reason is "can not fire" and the rest is "can not move" only. So it is not a tragedy.

KeyCat 131 Posted September 10, 2003 Maybe also a random probabilty to decide if they should abandon the vehicle or not if they can't fire. Sometimes not knowing if a tank is a threath or not just adds to the suspension IMHO. Just an idea  /Christer (a.k.a KeyCat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

killswitch 19 Posted September 10, 2003 Detail from exp_init.sqschange Crewescape value ANy problem? Excellent! One problem, though. That value is not present in the exp_init (or any other script) in GMR.pbo of the 1.42 beta.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
victorious 0 Posted September 10, 2003 Hey G.M., have you included the option of a blast wave yet? And also the sound of rocks falling to the ground after the explosion will be very nice also, such as the sound you here when you throw a grenade in fdf mod. just a few suggestions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeyCat 131 Posted September 11, 2003 Thanks for the update Goldmember! Just tested it briefly but I still see tank crews abandoning their tanks like cowards despite the setting Crewescape=0 in the exp_init.sqs? If I replace everything in the "hit_tank.sqs" file with only one line containing the exit command everything works OK and they stay in their tanks as they should (IMHO)... Will do some more testing later tonight. /Christer (a.k.a KeyCat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gollum1 0 Posted September 12, 2003 I would like non-burning (just BIS-smoking) objects to give off a little light. I would think that any vehicle that has been hit by an RPG and exploded would burn at least a little? Oh, and...for conclusive proof..."there´s no smoke without fire" Just a request.

Gollum1 0 Posted September 12, 2003 What I´m saying is, destroyed vehicles (except the ones with burn script) are basically invisible at night. That can´t be realistic. I hope you add a little more light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
