Hey,

Umm, [CommVehicleClass] ViewDist is broken. It doesn't set the camera beyond something like 400 meters. Cam spawns way too close to the ground.

Isnt there settings to control the minViewDist and maxViewDist ? Maybe if you bump up those values it might resolve your problem?

PS: Good to hear from ya space. You doin some ZE mod updates?

Woohooo! SPACE!!!! <3

Also i use this:

Yeah pal, so very few good games have been released in recent years - so, I'm trying... Focusing only on team vs team strat this time.
It's now massively improved over previous version - new stuff - better balances - hundreds of bugs gone - it flows now...

Btw, I'd be realy happy If someone would help and turn a couple maps to MPI.

Yeah, I tried those but they didn't help - the cam spawns very low, ignoring the viewDist value completely. Actually it spawns at like 200 meters, not 400 as I said above.

Welcome back, spAce.

Yay, I look forward to helping with it

Also, the point was that I OMITED the "ViewDist" entry, allowing it to default to the last used value, to prevent that "snapping". Though I honestly don't remmeber it that worked

Glad to hear you're focusing on improving the fluidity of team strat, I wasnt really able to get into the team strat on the original ZE because it didnt flow that greatly on the ESF (sp?) v ESF matches due to stale mating (which was also a problem I had with earlier VSRs when I tried to make Scions easier to play in early game but at the expense of some of the endgame warriors' power, leading to some rather bad stalemating).

Website looks nice, is it done with some kind of CMS like Wordpress?

Hmm... how come the soundtrack is dated 23rd December 2018?

Story question, still using Mineral/Mining Drills instead of pools?

That the same space?
Nevermind. Just saw his post.

In 0.7 ESAF didn't have any real game ending tech. The stalemating was a major issue - easily the most reported problem.

The difference of ISDF and Scion kind of suggested that races were not designed for team strats. Your redesign is spot on.

It's wordpress, yeah. Suprisingly easy/quick to put up a site like that - times have changed.

Hey man.

Dunno what you mean. Can't see any date anywhere.

Yes, still using element drills that have branches (like tree roots) that go hundreds of meters deep.

If it doesn't get patched, maybe we could introduce some DLL magic that would spawn the cam at lets say 420 meters ?

Great to see you again spAce!

Always loved your projects.

I'd love to, unfortunately the DLL doesn't have control over that part of the game :3

It's in the metadata of Forerunner's .ogg. The others don't have any.

Nielk and I were pondering this last night; what is Zephyr's backstory and does it fit in with / branch off from any part of the existing BZ story?

what's happening with infinity, space?
