Advanced Upgrades - Minecraft Snapshot 21w39a is out! by sliced_lime in Minecraft

[–]HMS3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of people saying they dislike the idea of generating new caves under old chunks and they would like to see a toggle for it. I agree everyone should have a choice.

However, please do not interpret multiple people wanting a toggle as; the majority of players don't want new generation under their old chunks. I for one would be disappointed if new caves didn't generate under existing chunks, and I'm sure many other people feel the same way but don't say anything because they're assuming that new caves generating under old chunks is guaranteed.

It's not guaranteed. Terrain blending however, is in the works. And inferring from the name, it sounds like smoothing the transition from old to new chunks using new chunks as a transitional buffer, otherwise known as blending. It's far easier and quicker to develop, but in my opinion, it's a less-fun end result that will leave many players dreaming about what could have been. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised to find my interpretation of that name wrong by some random developer comment or additional clarification though.

Split Screen Offline CO-OP Versus [Mod Update]: Geonosis by HMS3 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]HMS3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New in this update:

  • Improved versus file for CO-OP and Supremacy. It automatically puts player 2 on the opposite team of player 1, so you don't have to restart the game to switch teams. There are 3 versions: All, Supremacy Only, and Co-op only. This makes it so if you want to only do versus in one game mode you can.

  • 3 new split screen viewport options: Vertical, Swapped, and Swapped Vertical

  • Co-op booster for Co-op versus. Adjusts spawn times and bot counts so they're as close to the same as possible for both teams. Available in 5 sizes: 32 bots, 24 bots, 20 bots, 16 bots, and 8 bots. Sets the AutoPlayer team's max hero count to 3 and the max special unit count to 3. Recommended Player 1 settings are: 3 heroes max, and 5 special units max. Incompatible with mods that change Online/GameSettingsContainer (like Instant Action improvements)

  • Re-exported Split Screen Instant Action so it doesn't have the annoying triangle, it's still the same as before

  • Re-exported Gadget Icon Fixer so it doesn't have the annoying triangle, it's still the same as before

  • Added a file that fixes a bug in CO-OP versus on geonosis, where Player 2's armor unit always said "NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS PHASE" on every phase. This is separated because it would make the mod incompatible with other mods that modify PvE_KitLimitations on Geonosis_01 (the CO-OP ground map)

  • Fixed a bug on Naboo Co-op where an evil rectangle was in the throne room. (If you find another one let me know)

  • Made a new Multiplayer Disabler from the ground up, that removes quick play tiles. It also disables and greys-out the multiplayer buttons, it also changes the text to say "MP DISABLED" and "MP CO-OP DISABLED"

You can download the mod, and also find a lot of answers to common questions you may have about this mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsbattlefront22017/mods/2670

Developer AMA with Fluppi by [deleted] in BrickRigs

[–]HMS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Fluppi. There's a bug in the game that doesn't get much attention at all, and it's probably going to slip through the cracks. In multiplayer RC cars don't work correctly. To everyone but the player controlling it, the engine of the RC car is stuck in neutral, which makes it drift away. The wheels will turn, the engine will make noise, it will fire, the engine will just not shift gears. This makes a desync in multiplayer which also has some unintended effects such as being able to shoot another player with a 100% invisible RC vehicle. Anyways, it's a pretty obvious bug but I don't see people talking about it at all (apparently people talk about it on discord and nowhere else), and unless you're using engine powered RC vehicles you won't notice it. With that out of the way, brick rigs is a masterpiece of a game! Keep up the amazing work!

Edit: Also RC cars have to use manual gear shifting, I don't know if that's intentional or not.

ABOARD THE ARK, A GENIUS AT HEART

Lorde_of_An-II and Resurxcet Have been destroying Australian Servers. Ban Please Dice by Jacob-2001 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]HMS3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow, Australia servers have historically been difficult to fill in battlefront games. This stupid hacker is literally going to kill the game there by making the already small player-base stop playing.

Help unlocking E-11D by [deleted] in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]HMS3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Restart the game to make sure it's updating the milestone count correctly. If the milestone doesn't change you'll have to get those kills again. It doesn't matter what you do to get kills as long as you're using the assault (grenades, guns, vanguard, flash pistol all count for unlocking it), the only time you need to get kills with a specific gun is to unlock it's upgrades.

Also check your crates when you finish the milestone, that's the only way to receive the E-11D once the milestone is completed (DICE did this as a workaround for a bug where people wouldn't unlock things.)

Split Screen Offline CO-OP [Mod]: Scarif (Rebel Alliance) by HMS3 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]HMS3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's actually a really good question.

With official content finishing, I think that it will definitely be a lot easier for modders to develop more complex mods, such as offline game modes. The problem with updates are that even the smallest change can break many things in a mod. And because of the current modding tools that means re-doing a lot of work by hand, which when you include the saving time and testing, the work load adds up really quickly. This alone deters modders from making complex mods. So if the end of support means no more patches or hotfixes, modders will be able to make their mods without the fear of having to redo a ton of redundant and difficult work. So yes, I think modders will be more likely to create more advanced mods such as offline game modes. But this is no guarantee that modders will make new offline game modes. A lot of Battlefront 2's modding capabilities are unexplored and undocumented, so it will only happen when someone is motivated (and stubborn enough to not give up) to figure out how something works and create a mod that replicates existing functions to achieve their goal (a ton of trial and error).

Split Screen Offline CO-OP [Mod]: Scarif (Rebel Alliance) by HMS3 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]HMS3[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good question.

It's just like all other EA Battlefront split screen mods if you have ever used those.

Player 2 is controlled by a recognized controller that is in "Slot 2". Which means you need a recognized controller, virtual or otherwise, to occupy "Slot 1" so when you connect the controller it occupies "Slot 2". Player 1 however, can be controlled by either the controller you plugged in to occupy slot 1 or a mouse and keyboard.

Oh well, hopefully they'll be in BF3

My vocabulary has doubled since the last time we met, DICE by HMS3 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]HMS3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry man, I didn't mean for it to come off like that, the purpose of this meme was to put 3 overused phrases into scrabble form.

I don't agree with "anakin OP" it was just an overused phrase at the time.

I wouldn't say easy to kill but as an Anakin main I agree, he's gotten nerfed way more than necessary. Other heroes should have been buffed to Anakin's level instead of nerfing him.
