[evo] dan 79 Posted April 17, 2013 In theory yes. But, going off VBS2's PhysX there are still some limits and pretty odd AI issues. :) Maybe just skip over the AI? Make it enough just for players to use it and maybe just have the AI steer the carrier, I think it would be worth having the AI issues in order to have a moving ship you could walk/park vehicles on. I am keeping an eye on how much physx is doing, because I have a few ship projects of my own I would like to do, but I won't do them if they have to be static in order to use them properly.

Not seeing what exactly you mean by "parking") is not explicitly mentioned, is that what you meant?

rksl-rock 1300 Posted April 18, 2013 OK Re the ships. They were always from the very start intended to be "player-first" ships. the AI was only ever a nice to have. However #1 - in testing people insisted on putting AI on the ships to add ambiance, man equipment etc so there is a need for them to be AI friendly. They also repeatedly demanded the ability for AI to land and take off on the carriers. They said, "BIS has done it on UTES so why cant you." Unfortunately the aforementioned "people" dont realise what they are seeing on UTES and the accompanying problems of the BIS solution. So I mostly just ignore them. Once I try and explain I get assaulted by a swam of "BUTBUTBUT" noises that it sound like a day at the However #2 - Without actual PhysX enabled ArmA3 and tools we can only speculate. Something that I'd rather not waste my time doing right now. Im too busy. ArmA3 is not VBS2, not all the available VBS2 features can or will be ported to ArmA3 for various reasons. until the game goes 'Gold' I'm not going to commit to any capability or feature unless i can get it to work in ArmA2 first. Anything else about ArmA3's capabilities is probably best discussed in the ArmA3 area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted April 19, 2013 My reply was to [EVO] Dan regarding his own ship ideas. Truthbetold I wouldn't have minded the planned RKSL ships being player only, and who am I to complain if you were to choose to develop and release player-first versions first because they're simpler to put out in a "fully functional" state? As it is, thanks to modders' work over the years it feels like we've seen "naval simulation" in Arma 2 come pretty far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RKSL Studios does not support any unofficial ports of our addons into ArmA3. Guess what kids it doesn't work! And It wont work bug free either! ArmA3 doesn't NOT support all the same features as ArmA2 yet. Nor does it share all the same class names.

I have such a crap internet connection. :( These last weeks have been very productive in terms of RKSL & IAP work. Between us we've managed to bottom most of the bugs on the Typhoon. So much so that I'm relieved to say its at a point I'm comfortable enough saying we'll release it in a couple of weeks. I have a few things left to do, mostly with the weapons pack and I'm waiting on any last minute feedback from the Beta and UKAF guys but I think its finally ready.

Any idea what I've might done wrong? You've done absolutely nothing wrong. Its down the game engine. After patch 1.6(?) came out the bug appeared. It appears to be caused by the game engine assuming there is a turret in the plane and reading not only the pilots weapons but also this "phantom turret" and drawing the magazines twice. Now its really only and issue on the Typhoon because it uses so many proxies. Most of which remain empty nearly all the time, so with this bug the engine then draws this 2nd set of magazines into these empty slots. The way around it is to fill all the empty pylons with the blanking magazines. In the soon to be released v2.6 Typhoon and supporting weapons pack there are updated configs and a 60 round blanking magazine (The v2.6 Typh now uses 57 weapons proxy slots) to get around this problem. You can either wait until the v2.6 is released or manually configure the aircraft in the editor's init line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil_brownie 17 Posted May 13, 2013 (...) After patch 1.6(?) came out the bug appeared. (...) And I assume it still exists, right? I have looked throught the beta patches and did not see any mentions of it. I'm still using 1.60 (for a few reasons, this included), and i'm pretty sure the issue came with 1.62 (though i might be wrong, but at least it isn't in 1.60). Anyway, back OT, will 1.62 be required for the Typhoon (because of features not already in 1.6)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, back OT, will 1.62 be required for the Typhoon (because of features not already in 1.6)? Yes it still exists. As I said its an issue that is only really visible on custom planes since the BIS planes have all their proxies filled. The "fix" is a work around so versions shouldnt matter. And should BIS choose to fix the bug, this work around would not be apparent anyway. As for required version. Currently there is no patch specific requirement. I dont see that changing. Although CO is now required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
