I Miss Turboz

Be nice to put it in options to give people a choice. I would prefer manual.

 

It used to be an option.

 

Not in the past 7 years it wasn't. And I have an Empires 1.0 distro and it isn't an option in that, so I'm not sure I believe you.

Seriously, keyboard gear shifting sucks. It's at least just about tolerable on a controller but it's dumb as fuck using a keyboard. I mean, theoretically if the jeep was the ONLY vehicle to have this, then you could possibly bind up/down shifting to mouse 1/2 given you don't fire, but I don't know how practical that is. But I'm also not sure how I'd feel about the jeep being the only vehicle with it. I also think that despite people going "omg I'd use that" or whatever, the amount of people who might actually use it are probably countable on one hand.

 

The solution is an MMO mouse. Real men bind everything they need to their 38 possible buttons.

 

It wasn't originally part of it. It was implemented and then taken out 2 rc's later saying that it wasn't worth the trouble or something like it.

 

Mouse wheel for shifting.

Also what would it take for turbo to officially be added?

 

A lot of people want to use that as an argument, but as someone who does a lot of jeep driving, I really don't know what you're talking about. Having gear control might allow a faster climb up hills (though somehow changing the point at which the gears change automatically could accomplish the same thing). But I really don't know what you're referring to when you claim it would allow you to pull off more fancing things. This isn't RL, there is no clutch pedal. I don't see any situation in which having a manual gear change would increase your capability in a jeep besides hill-climbing, which we can also probably emulate with the auto-box.

Me getting laid.

So no, turbo will never be official.

 

Shit, I mean... look at that face... if trixster can't get laid... he must have some serious hygiene/social issues. We are doomed.

 

Auto shifting is delicate.

From what I have deduced...
When engine shifts the axel ratio goes up and the gear ratio goes down.
This gives more speed but, less power.
If auto shift rpm is set higher you get more torque but, it takes longer to speed up.

 

That... is a candles question.

 

On my phone so I can't check. But I think you also need to remove the auto shift values from the script.

On a side note- if you duplicate all the steering stuff and put boost in front of them. Then you can set the steering while using turbo.

 

Just need to make the first gear ratio or 2 lower and add a 6th gear to start making a bit of a difference (currently only has 5 gears)

 

You can go as low as 2.5 for first gear(and my jeeps do go that low) I wouldn't go lower then that because it becomes too difficult to climb hills from stop on them.
