ok how are you meant to climb ontop of tanks, im pretty sure you cant without first hopping onto a hummer then onto the tank turret...

are you going to raise the jump height or stick a mini ladder on them or lower teh tank height or something?

i havnt tried that since vanilla but im still pretty shure you cant jump onto them.

You can jump up from the front.

ANOTHER QUICK NOTE:
does shooting at the ammo piles of certain maps (like qwai and sunset) still crash the server? heheh.. just happened on our brazilian server Click21

Is fixed.

'[R-DEV wrote:eggman']no the choppers now need a warm up period, matched to the sound and turret rotation (still tweaking that).

actually most vehicles will be getting a tweak to require that you warm them up a bit (instead of jumping in and racing off).

let me guess we now have to de ice/ de mist the HMMWV's now??

'[R-DEV wrote:eggman']Yeah I think it is a great change. Minor detail point that adds a LOT of immersion (or at least avoid disrupting it with magically walking through the front of a moving tank).

Am glad that we're starting to get to some nice little details and a bit o' polish.

Sounds promising - but if someone exits a moving tank (exit point is ontop of the tank)- the tank will kill him and the driver will get a teamkill, wont he? :S

actually no, you ride along on the top lol. And if you ump off when the vehicle is moving we've added some damage code so that you will be at very low health.

So unless you want to be a big target on top of a tank, or jump off to a probable death.. you'll need to think about how / when you exit vehicles hehe.

All ground vehicles will cause you damage if you jump out of then while moving in v0.5.

imagins the new wave of tank surfing in PR vids

oh and the new way to get from an APC at a carrier if it is full just hop onto the top.

alright, you need a crewman or pilot kit to enter vehicles and choppers. what if your squadleader is in a tank or attack helo, can you spawn on him?

Post by **dbzao** » 2007-01-13 23:47

You can ENTER all vehicles. But with the incorrect kit you wont be able to OPERATE it.

'[R-PUB wrote:Garabaldi']Not for ground vehicles, anyway.

Maybe you're thinking of 2142?

Jets have afterburners. Dunno if they'd work right with ground vehicles, but I'd guess so.

Well the thing is that Squad Leaders will really want to use the Officer kit. Which means they can't operate any advanced vehicles.

They can choose NOT to use the Officer kit and grab a crewman or pilot kit, but they will not be able to set rally points.

What I hope we'll evolve to is where guys tend to specalise in helicopters, tanks or APCs or the like. They might also be squad leaders, but wouldn't need / want the pilot or crewman kits because they have no intent of dismounting and joining the fray / setting rally points.

Ideally those guys who begin to "specialise" will be attempting to keep vehicles alive for the entire duration of a round.

And by specialise I also mean that could be just for a single round or .. for some folks .. every time they play.

rally points? like SLs can throw down a spawn point somewhere? or

okay, I see now. I completely missed that post. someone should compile an unofficial changelog like for .4

Post by **eggman** » 2007-01-14 02:26

we should be compiling an official one in advance of the release.
