Ask the [DEV]s a (?) - Part 2

[LiamNL]

Devs, are there still a lot of easter eggs and hidden weapons in the game that nobody has ever found?

[Mineral]

Given all of our files can be read with notepad no we cant hide anything

@Strategos

I don't have a problem with the tactic itself. The problem is that you can serpentine without any loss of speed, which is completely unrealistic. You can also do a sudden 180 degree turn while sprinting without any loss of speed. If you think about it, it's very gamey.

I was just being sarcastic . I hate that zigzagging just as much as anyone else.

Mwaahahahahaha

That's down to mouse sensitivity, I can do 180 turns in ArmA3 as well and that game's engine is supposed to be the realistic one (well, more than BF2's )

[fatalsushi83]

There's a game that solved this in a really clever way (I think it was Far Cry 2) by allowing you to turn left and right only a little at a time when sprinting. It's as though mouse sensitivity was brought down for the x axis. So basically you could run in a circle but it would be a very large circle - doing a u-turn on a dime was impossible. Would something similar be possible in PR?

Any idea when the Germans get some new vehicles to fit with their broomsticks? (Luchs or Fennek)

hey guys its solid again
maybe ppl asked this question alot but i'll ask it again !
i was wondering why the Russian Breacher dont equiped with shotguns

i mean the MEC got Saiga 12k since its made by Russian !

is it going to be added for Russian's too in the future ?

Regards.

[camo]

Because Russia doesn't use that shotgun. According to our MA's they don't use a shotgun at all.

MEC only gets the saiga 12k because it is a fictional force. It probably shouldn't be in the game at all tbh.

Hello [DEV]s,

Where might I find the sound for the dropping of a smoke grenade?

I've gone through all the .zip files and haven't found it yet... missing it somehow.


Thanks.

[fatalsushi83]

Someone other than a dev can probably answer this but when it say "rally point unavailable" does it mean that there are enemies nearby or that the rally point hasn't reloaded yet? Also, how long is the reload time?

Hello [DEV]s,
Where might I find the sound for the dropping of a smoke grenade?

Code: Select all

objects_weapons_client.zip\weapons\handheld\hgr_smoke\sounds

Or you mean collision sounds?

Someone other than a dev can probably answer this but when it say "rally point unavailable" does it mean that there are enemies nearby or that the rally point hasn't reloaded yet? Also, how long is the reload time?

Both.
Nearby radius is 125m for 4km/2km maps, and 50m for 1km.
PR's can be set each 60 seconds, unless your rally point were overruned, then you have to iether reload rally on FOB, or wait 300 seconds.

[AfterDune]

Collision sound effects afaik are stored in 'common_client.zip', somewhere under 'materials' or 'impacts'.

[fatalsushi83]

Thanks. That clears things up.

[LiamNL]

Why aren't there more community made maps actually officially included in the game? Some of them are actually pretty damn good but are doomed to only be used for map pack events and test events.

Code: Select all

objects_weapons_client.zip\weapons\handheld\hgr_smoke\sounds

Not certain whether collision or not, found the sounds you led me to above though, thanks.

Going to have to go on a server to try it out now, thought it was a slightly different sound than the smoke drop, though it might be the exact same.

What I'm looking for is this... You're on a TOW, you throw smoke to hide yourself from infantry (or you get someone to smoke you), and before the smoke begins to dissipate, you hear the sound of a smoke grenade, warning you that your smoke is going to run out. You can use this cue to get another smoke thrown on before you lose your cover.

That warning sound, however, warning you that your smoke is about to run out, I thought was slightly different than the initial smoke sound, but I'm not 100% certain.

I wanted to find that sound to provide it for my team on the PR Tournament, in case some of my team-mates don't know about this (which I've noticed some were not aware).

Going to go test.


Thanks again (you too AfterDune).

Hmmm... Project "Reality", eh?

Love this game, but... why are Logi truck tires made of ice?

Love this game, but... why are Logi truck tires made of ice?

Or, if not made of ice, why do they drive on terrain as though they were?

Great job on removing the ice layer off the infantrymen's boots though, climbing or walking along sloped terrain is now very reasonable... but the trucks... sheesh!


Thanks.
