Wind affected projectiles!

[spawncaptain]

Doc.Pock;1804050']Well its just the thing of turning wind towards the ground and add the right speed so that the bullets gravitational acceleration is aroumd 9.81. I dont know how you do the deflection but i suppose every tick the bullet gets x percent of windspeed in winddirection right?

YOU ARE GENIUS POCK, JA!

Actually it's a bit of a secret about how it's done now Also these bullets I was firing are probably nowhere near PR physics. I'm going to record a new video from PR and post here

If ye has tracer and normal round drop working properly, ye shalt be revered as a god and receive a virgin goat for sacrifice on every second Tuesday for the rest of your life, precluding us running out of virgin goats.

Thanks... I guess?
I've made my projectile use current PR physics and it drops much less. The weapon in previous video used 700 m/s muzzle velocity and in this new video it uses M4 velocity (884 m/s) so this is what shooting M4 would be like. Since you don't usually engage at 800m or so, implementing this wouldn't make any sense at all without other changes made to projectile physics.

Thats awesome but I do have a question. To my understanding the tracer round is somewhat bugged (as in its dropping faster than it should). Would the wind actually make the tracer unpredictable or is my memory shit?

[Moszeusz6Pl]

Did this affect bullets to move for example to west, or to the left?

I wasn't aware of that, but I can make the non-tracer have same physics like tracer rounds

I thought it was quite obvious that they move in a compass direction (north only ATM), you can see that in the video

Wtf are you guys about tracers not having bullet drop? FH2 has tracer rounds with bullet drops, so does Project Normandy currently ??:

[Rhino]

Haven't read this thread or been able to watch the videos so forgive me if its mentioned somewhere but how is this done? Is it though Python code or some other external coding system or have you been able to do it with BF2's code?

The problem is tracers have a different trajectory to normal rounds, for some unknown reason that hasn't been able to be worked out or countered. In PR we don't have much of a bullet drop so its hardly noticeable but give a much bigger bullet drop, and its very, very noticeable the difference.

That's my understanding of it anyways I haven't dealt with ballistics at all its just going off what I've been told, and can remember

BF2 code Actually this is not real wind, it's a force that pulls all projectiles in one direction which will be possible to configure within map files.

I'll test and see if tracers really affect the projectiles but I doubt so.


EDIT: Yes they do! But there is a workaround for that. I've just deleted the whole tracer code bit from the projectile and it wasn't affected by wind or gravity at all. However, when I added it back but set everything (except for tracerInterval) to 0, the tracer wasn't visible but the bullet was affected

What about this animation of crawling?

Nice work! I think it should be used in PR too.

Hehehe Thanks!
I've taken a bit of code from FH2, added more code and now you have prone animations different for all crawling directions Also should be possible to do when standing.

The master has spoken

EDIT: I've done some more testing. I've set tracerInterval to 3 and two rounds have different physics than the third one. This is really strange. Still, if tracerInterval is set to 1, it has the same physics as the one with visible tracer.

That's nice!

dodek96_pl, you have so many interesting works in BF2. New animations, scripting etc. Great models! Are you modeler too?

No, I usually use models from other mods. I can only do the "mesh-hacking", that is editing existing meshes to have parts from other meshes.



Thanks to Antol22, I've came up with an idea on how to make the wind change its direction or strenght It doesn't work yet, but I'll post a video as soon as it will start working

[Alek-say]

No problem And i am Antol. So well did not you call me Anton like other players in PR

Anton? Something from Russian names.

So, I suppose that normal ballistics in PR is possible. And the directions of the wind will be random or permanent?

By the way, this animation of crawling with SVD is awesome!

[dodek96_pl]

The wind direction will have a forecast. That means after x period of time, it will change in strenght and direction. The only problem is that it doesn't work ATM. I'm trying to find out why
