Planetside Dev Tracker

I noticed this when I was online yesterday as well. I don't know what changed that caused this to break again, but I already made a note to look into this. Thanks for the report.

Edit: I should also say that the main issue I noticed with it was I got a huge FPS drop from it. Close range will still give you blinding like effects in some cases (usually a slow coast into a turret like this). It is part of the constraints with the tools I am working with. Namely wanting a pilot to see explosions in third person view but not first person.

Thanks! I think I noticed and fixed that one :-)

That is the intention of those points. If/when that will be made available is another question.

That is already on an internal construction objects idea list. We have been slowly making the objects that are on that list and releasing them. If/when it will be done, I don't know though.

From the sound of this, additional sockets will likely only make it harder to place modules, and not fix the issue you want addressed here. I am going to leave the module sockets alone for now, as making bases harder to build bases is not the goal here. If we are given reproducible steps to get modules underground, then we/I can look at what can be done to stop it.

I'll get those two addressed today too. If I notice others I'll get them too.

More points have been added that will force the bunker to be on the ground and not be a ravine bridge/ceiling.

I did not address the skyshield module, thank you for bring that up. Assuming I can fix this with sockets (I think I can) it will be done today though!

I updated the sockets that check for valid terrain yesterday for the bunker, pill box, VP gen, infantry tower, silo and garage. You should no longer be able to get floating construction objects, like the bunker here, when this is patched out.

I took a quick look at this. Like /u/sixoo bellow, I didn't get the same "black wall" you show in the video. The hard part about this is that everything you are showing here in this clip are the exact same particles but in different settings. All I have control over is what is actually drawn in the settings (eg. add this particle if settings are high or better, don't have this particle if settings are low, etc). The discrepancies here are all code side issues. I can see about getting a shelved alternate version of smoke (for grenades) in the game (as I would like to get it in anyway) and that might solve the "black wall" issue. The tracer not aligning on high and lower settings though, as far as I know, is entirely code.

Edit: Sixoo rocks for figuring out this is a Graphics Quality setting issue. I can see i...

Auto-turrets do not have a DarkLight.

The file shaql found isn't hooked up to anything.

It's just an idea we were kicking around that there could be a variant turret with a darklight on it, that would probably do less damage or have some other drawback.

Not supposed to.

I'm guessing you saw the entry I added to the deployable cost map. That was a test and it actually doesn't do anything.

The direct damage removal was an intended change, but it looks like some of the fields on the Harasser version were missed.

Me too. I remember watching the one episode where Airwolf got shot down and I was devastated.

The flight model is working as intended. Yes it is different, yes it is slow, yes there is no leaving hover mode. But this doesn't mean it is the final flight model or speed, so please give feedback. It is intended to feel more helicopter like and make more use of the vertical thruster compared to other aircraft.

Resistance to small arms was set incorrectly. That is fixed internally. I think that was the only egregiously incorrect resist. So if the feeling is it is too weak in against other weapons, then provide feedback about those weapon types specifically.

Edit: Clarification.

We've made some adjustments based on that feedback but it has mostly influenced our long term goals with the Valkyrie. The main thing is we really want to give it an awesome and unique mechanic beyond some new guns and rumble seats. Unfortunately something like that wouldn't make it in time for our targeted launch.

A lot of that feedback was also the same as some of the ideas we had planned for a Galaxy update. It might make sense to give the Valkyrie something unique and then give the Galaxy something else to further differentiate the two aircraft. When the Valkyrie is live and in the hands of players for awhile, we might have a better idea and more feedback on what those should be.

Vulcan (as well as some other tank balance concerns) is something we've been discussing, but we don't have any details on what might change to share yet.
