JacoB Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I know for a fact boat syncronization is possible, even with the current core. Why has everyone been lied to for so long saying its absolutely "impossible with current technology"? The only problem is that actors cannot be placed in boats. I don't think anyone gives a crap if the actor is shown in the boat or not, just keep the nametag there. Boat velocity/speed works just like regular vehicles, so why has such a small problem prevented you from adding boats for so long? It makes no sense to me. Boat sync is perfectly possible, just the actors being put in them isn't.. so, erm, what's the big problem? Don't take this post as offensive/rude by the way, I've just made this small discovery and the fact that such a fun and awesome feature - boats - hasn't been added to this core when it perfectly could have, confuses the hell out of me.

Black Dragon Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 mm.. boat races? maybe.. but shooting from boats and such blah blah blah? nah i wouldnt release such a limited feature, that hardly allows even passangers.. so uh no.. ps. whats so great about boats anyways? Link to comment
Blade1941 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 ps. whats so great about boats anyways? I think they're much more fun than cars, but the thing is you can't shot from them. But it whould been fun anyways that they realesed them on 0.5 you don't have to shot each others it's fun to drive anyways but when you can shot from the boats and drive others then it will be very fun Link to comment

Races, Chases, Getting to other islands faster, for weapons, and maybe even a new place where people fight just for the boats. We could have gotten the spaz easily in 0.3 if there were boats lol. Did you also forget about bitchpacking Link to comment
Ransom Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 You make a good point.. I suppose it was decided to focus on other things that worked fully. Some people wouldn't like people suddenly turning into tags only when chasing them down. Link to comment
Si|ent Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Thanks for your concern, albeit rather late There's much more to it than you suggest unfortunately, Kyeman and myself experimented with them for a while during one of his short periods on the team, but rewriting major parts of code, with the impact that would have on the rest of the code, and the testing requirements and stability risks inherant with totally new methods being 'crow-barred' in made it unrealistic to continue with them. Especially once the new core started to take shape. (which of course supports boats fully without need for messy hacks nor rewrites). Link to comment
