Vehicle Bug

About 50% of the time when I order a vehicle and hop in it, I don't have vehicle crosshairs, nor can I fire the weapons (Yes, I checked that all of them were mapped correctly in the V-screen).

Exiting and re-entering doesn't help, but dying and entering usually does. That being said, I'd prefer not having to die to enter a vehicle.

Has this been noted anywhere else?

 

nope...

 

Cool....

Any potential fixes? I never when the vehicle will work or not, and when it doesn't I usually end up just costing the team a couple thou in res.

 

If you cant reproduce it, its best to give a lot of information, or make screenshots of when it happens or anything, like what kind of tank it was, did you make it or did the comm drop it, anything that could help Krenzo locate the bug.

 

Hmm, this is a very rare one indeed. More info! We demand it.

 

Try recording a nice, long demo. Someone who remembers the demo commands, please post.

 

I have a bug where sometimes when you enter a vehicle, you can't do anything, nor get out. you can only ¬kill yourself.

 

I had this bug happen to me the other day on mvalley.
But it only happened once.

 

It's usually a problem with controls not getting setup correctly. I've reprogrammed it in 1.08.

 

thank you god!

can you also fix it so that the custom tank setting work?

 

Can you be more specific?

 

i have a problem (i think the one he's talking about) where once i make a custom layout i can never change it.

i can edit it, but the edits never stick unless i rename it and my custom tank list got so long i had to reset the cfg to default.

 

^ what he said although I didn't know about the renaming thing.

 

You build a customized tank using a scheme, and the next time you go into the build menu, that scheme is already selected. However, more often than not the scheme doesn't work (due to lack of technology or a map change) and you build yourself a default tank. Or it works and tells you that you can't build a vehicle without an engine / armor.

 

Ok, so make that scheme not selected by default if it has stuff that can't be built?

 

The scheme usually isn't even saved, so you need to set everything up from scratch.

 

That's a good idea. Because the schemes are loaded succesfully when you select them from the drop-down list.

 

I had this problem on emp_money some time ago where, when I would shoot whilst my tank was tilted uphill (Brenodi medium, Plasma MG and Missile Salvo) and I shot the MG, my tank would fully overheat half of the time, even if there was no other tank near to plasma me out. Any possibility of the self-damage absorbing the plasma MG ammo in an uphill fashion?
