[Coding] Balistics/zeroing [WIP]

[DeltaFart]

I hope this gets finished soon, and 3d sights, I havent seen an update on that thread ina bit! Could we get a video of beta ballistics with 3D sights? THat would make some nerds on here cream themselves

[Mosquill]

ok i was talking to mosquill, i he said that nedlands tryed to use CRD to make random damage, so i dont think that will work. but i think we should really make it so the soldiers have 120 health to start and can only be healed up to 100.

And here's the quote.
[quote=""'[R-CON"]nedlands1;651552']I tried that with "ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionDamage CRD_UNIFORM/49/100/0". What happened was the grenade would go off but no damage would be dealt. I imagine that this was a foreign command to the engine so it just ignored it, hence the zero damage. Also, a very good website on continuous random distributions in BF is: MDT - CRD Argument Type[/quote]
So it din't work with detonation.explosionDamage, but it may work with normal damage.

I'm not sure if i'm allowed to do that. There are some rules I have to follow. But maybe I'll make a vid soon if it's fine with Devs.

Another avenue to investigate may be whether or not the damage modifiers for the projectile/destination materials can have a random distribution. There is, as you said, a possibility of it working with conventional damage.

@ Nedlands:
Your alive!
Hows uni going?

I died? No one told me about this ><. Uni is going fine (by my exceptional low standards). I just spent 3.5 hours in a lab today, fiddling with amplifiers and various circuitry which I have no idea about. I guess that was a wasted effort.

Whats the latest Jonny? I don't mean to sound impatient but I don't see any blue on the 1st page.

right now the info is all in excel and notepad, i gave mosquill a excel sheet with all the info, he is tweaking the excel calculator and when it is done he will start to pump out the zero angles and bullet masses for each gun.

Actually the excel part is already done. I already have zero angles and bullet masses.

[nedlands1]

Well you dissapeared from my ballistics thread(s) for a while....

What were you meant to be making with it?

I've got some side projects that I am working on now. We were constructing and calibrating a balance.

cool, so what was your estimate for the time it would take to do all the work for each gun?

[Mosquill]

Last time I made an estimate I said everything should be done in a few days. And that was more then a week ago.

The ballistics are 99% done. Zeroing and 3d sights are WIP but it shouldn't take long. And if you really wanna know, I would say it should be done in a few days.

OMG, great news ! Are we going to have 3D sights to all weapons maybe for the next release ? (plz say yes, plz say yes, plz say yes...)

hey jonny what was your formula for bullet damage again, i would like to see the damage at range for someof the guns.

[zangoo]

jonny i am wondering how to measure k. i am going to then change things and see if it effects it. also do the devs want realistics damage drop off put into the ballistics?
