Helicopter Texture

[tZork]

Nothing to apologize for, just pointing out that the current one would be a poor in-game experience. I already fixed the landing gear, and tackled the problems with guns/rotors having the same alignment as the main model, so unless you are going to do that too, dont change the body. If you do decide to work on the body, theres a few more things you could do, for example some of the 'ridges' between the cockpit glass are preddy odd shaped. anyways, the main thing now seem to be a decent cockpit model for first person view.

Once these are out im going to put one on each roof of destructabletectctf, and I think 2 in venueons aswell. Maybe another building/temple for each side of venue ons aswell.

Vehicles == aswsomeness.

My friends and I have a ton of fun with spidy bot on venue
Another map I like alot is test16. It's like an urban doomscape w/ turrets and vehicles

Tzork: is it possible to spawn the racer on a map, and does it have a 1st person?
I remeber spawning it in the race map, but that was with a cheat command.

[Yoda almighty]

tundramagi: how do you get to test16? I have never been able to find it. (or where is the DL link for it)

[tundramagi]

It's in spiderbot.pk3

Don't worry, it doesn't work anymore, nor does opentest: the spiderbots don't spawn anymore (just like how they don't spawn on evadproject anymore).

The helicopter probably won't spawn on destructabletestctf either: vehicle spawning is broken: it only works on some maps and not others.

[tZork]

Sure they do, they are disabled by default tough, maybe thats your issue. you need to compile with -DVEHICLES_ENABLED (or uncomment first line in vehicles/vehicles.h)

[tundramagi]

TZork: I have that uncommented. I've had that uncommented for the last 3 months, I just checked and it's uncommented now.
Also spidervehichles do spawn in other maps.
vehicle_spiderbot _DOES_ appear in venueons12 and in test maps I make with the spiderbot (box maps).

vehicle_spiderbot _DOES NOT_ appear in destructabletestctf6, opentest, nor does it appear in test16, when it _SHOULD_

Bugged.

Also, for some reason, on opentest the "generator" that used to be inback of the turrets now spawns at map origin.

Please believe me. Or load them yourself.

I have 2 prayers:
Dear God: please allow these to spawn on my maps.

and

Please allow Yellow Robot to make awsome 1st person view.
When I want 3rd person I press q (my 3rd person view bind)

And a question: does red star republic need vehicles?

[tZork]

random spawning suggests its a map problem not a code problem. perhaps the maps where it dont work use the old classnames. current classname (entity name) is "vehicle_spiderbot". in early development they used different names, and for a while i retained compatibility with those awkward names, but that's gone since the old names were confusing and should die.

Refuses to spawn. Used to spawn 4 months ago (or 5?)

They spawn on test maps I made yesterday.
