Post #81
this thread is fairly slow, perhaps it would be better not under entities?
also, could tiberium in groups of 3 become one entity? (to help fight lag)
-
-
Perhaps you remember he history before asking for this?
I belive we all said a nice "NO!".
-
No,i dont, now please spread knowledge before hate.
-
Tiberium is a scripted entity, scripted entities is where it goes.
-
I think i have an idea on how to reduce lag, i can make Tiberium crystals "retire", so that if they can't grow another crystal within lets say 2 minutes it stops trying to grow completely, however it does get a boost to the maximum amount of Tiberium it can hold (Lets say 1000), what do you guys think?
-
Do it, anything to improve upon its function.
-
that's what lynix did too for the biggest part, that's the fact why i don't like the lynix version... (for a big part)
jack's idea did sound pretty too, when 3 crystals are near eachother they form 1 larger crystal, making 3 entities to 1 (lets say, a field of 60 crystals, when they all change from 3 to 1 entitie/crystal you only have 20 left)
-
But wouldn't they need to constantly check to tell if they can form a larger crystal, causing more lag?
Given there's a solution to it, that's not such a bad idea. It would let a field spread more with less entities and bring back the neat look in TS of larger crystals towards the center of the field.
Wait, what? As I recall it just stopped growing past the set amount, there wasn't anything else to it.
-
If i would to merge 3 crystals into 1 (Still drawing a total of 3 crystals) i would still have to preform the same checks every think, the lag would be just about the same (Might lag a tiny bit less due to source also updating the entities) but it would require me to completely recode the Tiberium crystals.
-
oh when i meant it shouldent be under entities, i meant this thread should be under lua releases, not lua releases\scripted entities
-
Tiberium is a scripted entity. This is exactly where it should be.
-
I agree, and kialtia, how goes progress on different missile types? Maybe a factory ent to make it?
-
I am currently working on a factory.
-
I just committed the factory, currently it is using a SBEP prop but my modeler is working on a new model that should be completed soon, the factory only spawns a single prop as example, tell me what you guys think about it so far.
-
More updates released to the Factory, this will be the last update for a week orso, i am going on a vacation, cya guys then.
-
See ya, does the factory still use an SBEP model? I dont have SBEP.
-
No, i included the new model, the collisions are fucked up atm however, if anyone knows how to fix it refer to this thread : http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=931142
-
I'll fix that eventually. Worst case scenario i'll make it completelty flat.
Also, warrior is going to be AFK for about a week.

Why isnt tortoise svn working for me? Doesnt it work for vista?
I mean, I installed it correctly and all but when I open the context menu I see nothing that has to do with tortoise svn :P
-
It works fine in vista, just remember to restart your computer before you go trying to use Trotoise =p.
The option should be "svn checkout".
-
My factory only can make a tiberium harvester (medium) does everyone else have that too? (just wanna know so i know if something failed or just because it isn't done yet)
-
About the script checks that cause lag, isn't it possible to add a little delay in there so it doesn't check 10 times a sec but only 1 time a sec?
-
I'm using svn, and the addon isn't wroking, it's giving errors constantly during a game or when I spawn a tib.
-
What error? ctrl+v
-
The factory is not done, i only added the harvester to test it with.
Edited:
Also, i am only temoarly online, i am still away from home for another ~3 days.
-
I'm a bit curious.
You only required RD2 for this right? Not Life Support 2?
-
Life Support 2 is not needed.

Timer Error: autorun/server/sv_wtiberium.lua:117: attempt to call global 'DamageInfo' (a table value)
entities/wtib_tiberium_base/init.lua:94: attempt to call global 'DamageInfo' (a table value)
Are the two errors. The first one keeps going on and on the whole game session. The second only happens when I spawn tib.
-
I think the latest update broke a huge chunk of addons, including this.
-
I am back from vacation so i'll check out what is wrong.
-
Works fine for me.
-
Well, I reinstalled it 3 times so far, still keep getting that so, just get the orginal?
-
What original, also do this in your console and give me the results :
Code:lua_run print(DamageInfo())
-
> print(DamageInfo())...
:1: attempt to call global 'DamageInfo' (a table value)
-
Whoeps, i mean this :
lua_run print(DamageInfo)
And also post this result :
lua_run PrintTable(DamageInfo)
Also, i've updated the factory again.
-
> PrintTable(DamageInfo)...
FallMultiplier = 100
FallModeVarName = sm_falldamage_mode
MaxFallScale = 1300
MinFallVelocity = 1800
-
Well that shouldn't happen, or you've got an older version of GMod (Pirated?) or you've got an addon that is fucking shit up.
-
No no no, I bought GMod, I would never even think of ever stealing a game, what addons would you think would mess with it?
-
I have no idea, post your addon list.
-
I got an error when using the tib power plant. and I am using the latest revision.
Code:entities/wtib_powergen_medium/init.lua:67: attempt to call method 'GetTypeString' (a nil value)
