Another reason why I think it makes more sense to directly discharge the ob as soon as the enemy is out of sight is that, if you know a thing or 2 about physics and such you would know that such huge targetable laser which can dispensate so much heat in so little time would use HUGE amounts of power. One could reason that the capacitors/generators in the ob would get (way) too hot to stay charged. Or that the energy stored in the capacitors would leak, specially since the laser will probably require low voltage, high current. This will generate loads and loads of heat, meaning that it would not be practical with our current knowledge on the subject.

Fair reasoning, of course this will make ob rushes a lot easier.

Not really, only more predicable about when the OB will fire. As in the old situation you had probably about 50% chance the ob was charged or discharged. If it was discharged, then the rush would be exactly the same as it is with this fix. If it was charged, then the OB would fire 1 shot faster then it should do, and that *COULD* change the course of the rush.
Problem is that that behaviour is not predicable for either teams, so as NOD you can't count on it firing directly and as GDI you can't count on it firing "late".
This can be good and bad for both sides, so for that reason I would choose the more logical way, which is, always discharge if there is no enemy in sight.

Many. I don't like randomness in games at all. Admittedly it's probably the most important reason for me to not play some games. (Doesn't go only for computer games, same goes for board/card games for example). If I lose then at least I want it to be my own fault, not because of some silly bug making the ob kill me instantly.

The changelog is rather inaccurate right now, but that function used to create a render target texture for shader developers to use in advanced effects. It's done by a different function now.

Lag issues gonna be fixed too? For example, sometimes, you will see GDI guys 'lag up the field' on the map field, while they are in the AGT for example. Kill em, and they disappear, and the body falls, where they actually where.

Happens on Islands too, if you snipe across the map from the strip, towards the first island from the GDI base.

I don't think that's something we can fix easily without significantly affecting the renegade netcode.

Ahh that sounds great. It would be awesome if it stops every single cheat for renegade, so things like BIATCH (for servers) and RR (for servers & players) won't be needed.

No, you're confused by another plugin that Spoony asked for, for his league, and that was coded by Reborn. This plugin - which will not be implemented in TT AFIK - aims to solve the "injustice" that you don't get points for destroying a vehicle when the driver of said vehicle jumps out in the last moment because the vehicle becomes neutral.

IF the vehicle ISN'T neutral, what does the obelisk think about it?

If a server runs this plugin, which has been openly released, then the base defences will shoot the vehicle for the 3-5 seconds that it's not neutral after the passenger left it. But it has nothing to do with TT, which doesn't include this plugin.

We actually have a different fix for the same problem that does not cause the base defense problem.

As for the RG and RR not working bits. The patch will remove RG so yes it will stop it from working. And the patch will probably not work side by side with RR (although not intentionally). Theres just a bunch of things that will probably conflict.

Although given that Yrr/Neku/TimeFX has handed you the source code, I assume the patcher will check to see if you had RR installed, and behave accordingly when installing the patch... Smile

As for RR no longer working, TT is designed to be a "super" patch, gathering all of the previously seperate improvement efforts under one banner, so all of the RR fixes will be in TT anyway.

Does it still make the vehicle keep the team or does it just award points even though the vehicle is neutral?

Well, RR also had some more "dubious" fixes which some people might like and some certainly will dislike, so therefore RR won't be directly included in TT. Also, in TT we rewrote a lot of hacks to proper functions. This probably causes RR to not work on TT, which could be fixed, if Yrr would be around and change/update/merge RR.
