Thanks, at first I thought it would be a hell to get the turret to look like the mausturm, but it was quite easy to be honest.

Edited:

I'm probably also going to make the Jagdpanzer E-100 using the chassis, and a Maus using the turret

I found out how to get some efficient fin going with a bit of help from another person, so I made a turbine and strapped it to a car. Was pretty fast, did the 0-60 MP/h in about 2.2 seconds.

I mean, who hasn't tried doing this before. just thought it was fun.

I saw you looking at my rockmen

Whats the joke about Field of view?

[Balto-the-Wolf-Dog]

Fin only submarine. Ballast works by changing weight to achieve neutral buoyancy and back. All depth is controlled with fin, propulsion is fin and ACF engine.

I did the bodywork and control, Iwancoppa handled the propulsion, neutral buoyancy, and pseudosonar.

Something to do with Zeos I think

I think Karbine started giving Zeos shit about his really low FoV during some argument, and more people joined in and eventually made Zeos rq.

[One Ear Ninja]

Oh yes, I remember that. Basically, Zeos posted some theories on how lowering your FOV enables your monitor enables your monitor to act as a window. Karbine started making fun of him by drawing pictures of people flying through monitors. The joke just stuck from there.

[Calamity]

I made some kinda BVR12 engine. Banks have 15 degrees in between just like VR engines, and they also have their opposite site banks which is like a Boxer engine:

Also the boxer configuration makes it fully balanced, which is awesome.

That was hilarious. Too bad zeos took it so seriously.

[MrWhite]

It's really sad that, once you all saw him taking it seriously, you kept going. He was a fairly big name, and he contributed quite a bit before that. Now he never comes around anymore.

Zeos was the only person who could paralyze a server with collisions lag and nobody gave a fuck. And Tricky's was boss. I miss contests, and decent servers, and having our own section, and not having so many rage drama blowouts. Soooooo many things we need to bring back. Like space ships, and omnitanks, and engine powered cranes. _{Though I don't miss having mods breathing down our necks banning everyone.}

Yes that's your jet pack. But the majority of the picture is my helicopter, so I claim copyright.

For christ's sake stop replaying messages along with all images. Most of us have a scroll wheel in a mouse.

And Karbine, since your APC was too realistic I felt that is my duty to bring order in this thread.

It looks awsome, tough severely undergunned.

Anyone got ideas on how I could make an E2 that handles the Gear on ACF engine? Was thinking about auto-changing according to speed/increase and decreasing from input but I dunno how to check the gear.

[Sir Lulzalot]

It's rough and untested, but try this on for size. I may improve it later when I have time.

@name Automatic ACF Transmission
@inputs RPM ClutchIn
@outputs Gear ClutchOut
@persist PBLow PBHigh Gears
@trigger RPM Clutch

if(first()){PBLow=<low end of engine's power band>,PBHigh=<high end of engine's power band>,Gears=<number of gears in your transmission>,Gear=0}

if(!ClutchIn){
    if(RPM>PBHigh){Gear++}else{Gear=Gear}
    if(RPM<PBLow){Gear--}else{Gear=Gear}
    ClutchOut=0}
else{Gear=Gear,ClutchOut=1}

if(Gear<0){Gear=0}
    elseif(Gear>Gears){Gear=Gears}
else{Gear=Gear}

Edit: Saw and fixed a misnamed variable.

Ah, thanks for the help, I was trying to change gears based on speed, not on the engine RPM!

There's really not any way to ask this question without sounding stupid, but exactly what happens when you put an if statement inside an if statement?

The branched if-statement will only return if the root is true.

if (On)   {
    if (A)  { B = 1 }
}

B is equal to 1 if A is true, but only if On is also true.

Looking at his code, if input ClutchIn isn't being pressed, the gearing is increased/decreased.

You never want to change your gears based on your speed, the point of a multi-gear transmission is to keep the engine within it's power band (the range of RPM where the engine is the most efficient and outputs the most power) without limiting speed and torque to undesirable values.

For instance, in the first gear of a transmission, the engine spins the most times to produce one turn of the driving wheels, the result is a low-speed output with lots of torque, good for getting a vehicle moving, but not for moving quickly. As you increase your speed in while in gear one, the engine will approach the upper end of its power band and its redline zone. To keep the engine in its power band and keep it from redlining, you shift into second gear, in which the engine spins fewer times per rotation of the drive wheels, the result is the engine RPM falling back to the lower end of its power band (because it doesn't need to spin as many times to move the car at the same speed), and a gearing that allows you to go faster, but isn't as good as first for getting the vehicle moving or other jobs which require a lot of torque. The same applies each time you shift up a gear.


EDIT: Also, upon further inspection (as in, actually testing it in game), I've found that my code doesn't work. I'll rewrite it and get it going some time over the weekend.

I realized that as I was away for 2-3 weeks, most of the servers I used to go on are either shut down or are just dead with 0 players on at all times. Did anything happen to the building community while I was away?
