Highest priority for 2.1 is anything the Reborn team needs
Next up comes anything other big mods (ra2ven, fist of fate, new hope) want.
Then comes anything else that general people want.

But if you have ideas for 2.1 that I havent already said "no" to in the past, feel free to post them here (especially if they are easy)

Hydraulics for the vehicles?

lol don't think it's as crazy as it sounds I've done it before but they weren't controllable. Would that be possible? Very Happy If so I'd play Renegade EVERY DAY again...

I'm curious to see if these can be made with scripts.dll...

-Is it possible to have different scopes for different guns? (ex. pistol has 2x scope, sniper rifle has 15x scope, auto rilfe has 5x scope etc.)
-Would it be possible to drive a vehicle and shoot the gun that you have in your hand at the same time?
-Is it possible to make remote-controlled rockets?
-Is it possible to change the position of your health from the default?
-Is it possible to have a weapon's secondary mode to have you throw the weapon and have it turn into a sentry gun?
-(last question)Is it possible to make the ammo monitor go down when you have less ammo? (ex. out of 100 bullets, when you have 50 left 1/2 of the meter is filled in)

w00t?

Im really curious about a gambling script for a map im working on right now.

What it would be is the player presses E to access the Slot machine, and you have given odds that will either take your 50 credits or give you a win, according to what its set at for the odds.

different scopes for different guns, no.
drive and shoot your gun at the same time, no
remote controled rockets, no
Changing the position of your health is probobly doable but it would take a lot of effort (essentially it would be the same as re-doing the HUD completly)
Vehicle Hydraulics, no
Maknig it so you throw the weapon, no
Changing the ammo meater, no

As for the slot machine, basicly, what it would be is a scropt that takes 2 credit amounts, one is the "cost", the other is the "win". It will also take a percentage value.
When it is poked, it will check to see if the player has the "cost" amount.
If so, it will remove that many credits from their credit count.
Then it will randomly pick a percentage.
If the percentage is below the passed in value, it will give the "win" amount.

This is why the W3D engine is a piece of shit.

Well, I think it's fine taking in the fact that they just released what they could before EA could stop them. Very Happy

Renegade will take over the world!

PS: EA was being sued (sp?) by their own employees the last time I checked. :rolleyes:

It's not the fault of the engine, its the fault of our limited access to its functions. If we had the source code, all would be possible.

But is it possible to write a script that can increase a vehicles speed by 50% on right click (secondary fire) to give like a Nitrous Oxide affect for a few seconds Razz

If so you could start a "NFSU: W3D Edition".. lolz would be basic but would work

"Renardin6"

Doubt that would work.

I tried that back in the day before the custom scripts.dll was created (back when WS was still around and Greg Hjelstrom was very much active on the renegade boards) to get them to release the sorce code to the scripts.dll and it didnt work.

Online petitions have a very low rate of sucess unfortunatly.

There are many reasons why EA wouldnt release the code, some of the big ones are:
1.There is code (Miles Sound System, BINK video, Gamespy etc) that EA doesnt own and cant release
2.releasing the code would mean that you could build it without the Safedisk copy protection (yes it has been cracked but thats beside the point)
3.there are things in the code that EA doesnt want public (e.g. secret algorithims or whatever). Also things that would be bad for EA if they went public (private internal EA info in comments for example or stuff in comments that would reflect badly on EA if it was made public)
4.EA is still using parts of the code (e.g. Battle For Middle Earth is aparently still using the core WW3D rendering engine code, same as what Renegade and Generals uses)
5.Cost to find the code (on a backup tape or wherever else it is), check it over, prepare it, write a sutable licence etc etc etc.

And there are more reasons I would guess but I cant think of them right now Smile
