Ballistics or Tracers? - Page 11

VipersGhost · 08-05-2008, 12:02 PM

How are tracers preventing the inclusion of realistic ballistics!??!

I really don't think tracers are all that necessary. Seriously, not all guns even use them and I think the insurgents don't use them at all. Even if we scrap tracers all together, I'm fine with that. Lets just leave them in for the miniguns.

I have just tested smaller tracer sizes and they are small enough that it isnt star wars at all and big enough that you should be able to see them at longer range.

well the 4:3 was just the monitor it was running 1280x1024 iirc. the 2 diffrent range cards were made on 1280x1024 and 1680x1050 and no widescreen fixer.

Could you put up a screenshot? Sounds interesting!

I do think we really need tracers. For the ones who havent got there details up so high its easier to see where they are shot from, or shooting at.

Dude, wheres this server?

Well, on shorter distances, will tracers also suverely drop? If no, keep the tracer bug and get the ballistics in because for longer shots, you have to train and get to know the rifle so tracers dont mean a lot.

urm someone voted on this so I might as well comment or ask have you tried to submit your changes and see if they can go in 0.8 or is it allready too late

1280x1024 = aspect ratio 5:4 not 4:3

Ballistics won't be in 0.8, it's already too late as you said. And I doubt they'll be in 0.85 either.

Now this isnt noticable in pr right now as the bullets are going about 1km/sec constant and have very little gravity but it is still there.

Herro.
