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

Sorry, v1.4 is on hold while I play Elite Dangerous Horizons

I can provide his co-ordinates and list of enemies. Everyone attack him then he'll rage quit and return to his rightful place.

I miss my binoculars
Sometimes i grab a crewman for them. But I never share them with regular infantry. that would be a sin!

Any hope of their return?

I have not heard a single discussion on binos in the team since we removed them. I doubt thats going to change

Is the Forward outpost/Hideout programmation calculating the Z factor with the overrunning system?

Is the Forward outpost/Hideout programmation calculating the Z factor with the overrunning system?

Yes it does, since in BF2, X and Z are the horizontal axis, with Y being the vertical one

[W.Darwin]

OH come on!

Ggnnhhh%%?!|?"?$TG

ok..

This is so true.

X= Length
Y= Height
Z= Depth

Always been like that


Although, i'll assume Y factor is taken in consideration.

:kek:


Also rhino, are you going to answer my PM anytime? or ehh.. The rule with me is to keep it minimum

Be honest, who is the sexiest Dev?(picture evidence required)

[Mineral]

Probably not Camo.

Hello devs.

Sorry if it's a taboo or controversial subject, but it is currently very difficult to live with the cheaters

Would not be possible to implement a tool that takes screen screen shots of the players directly to the server in order to catch cheaters?

For example, the admin sends a command that takes a player suspected of print and send to the server. This print could only be seen after the end of the match, to prevent anyone take advantage of it.

Or better yet, take screen shots automatically and randomly players during the game and send it to the server. High resolution is not required.

Thx!

(using Google Translate)

Sadly this is not possible Punkbuster offered a function like that, but it often turned out to just give complete black screenshots. The best way to catch hackers is using the demo analyzer and a lot of players are going after any probable cause to catch them. This is the best we have (still better anti-cheat than ARMA )

Dont lie! We had discussions to remove even more binos

[quote="W.Darwin""]Is the Forward outpost/Hideout programmation calculating the Y factor with the overrunning system?[/quote]

Right now it considers all three dimensions. Will change in future tho to make calculating easier. It will exclude players in flying assets tho, so a check for vertical distance is not really needed.

Probably not Camo.

He has to be good for something

Are you going to make optimalization when there are 100 players on serer ?

I mean,I have 40 FPS when there are 30 players,but 70 and higher gives me big drops

Make sure you are not on Fallujah.



But devs,

Have you guys ever thought about ditching PR and not doing any updates anymore? (Past or present)

Devs are grown from community membors. If they won't do updates, someone else will pick work.

Happy birthday ctrifle, though march 12 is still official dev birthday.

[Valmont]

Quick question for the Devs:

Is it posible to set the viewdistance on a per vehicle basis instead of using the maps default setting?

What about rendering of assets distance on a per vehicle basis?

I am asking because I am evaluating giving CAS vehicles longer viewdistances but lower assets rendering distance so it compensates the performance loss from having a longer viewdistance.

My final objective is to have planes and helis that can see the ground even from high altitude (like in Real LIfe) but rendering less objects (not rendering trees or basically any other asset that is not big vehicles like tanks and APCs or really huge buildings).

PS: What leads me to believe this is posible is the way Night/Heat vision works on vehicles giving them different viewdistances and amount of rendering assets than the regular view/map config has.

Alright, enough hiding, where's the April Fools' joke? I searched the entire forums.

You are the joke. #rekt

Have there been any other years without an April Fools joke, or is this the first one?
