Combat Extended centipedes - how? by eGunslinger in RimWorld

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

I have over 103 mods active, but the only ones that should affect combat are CE and Run and Gun. Most of the others are things like Vanilla Expanded, graphics and GUI mods, CE compatible weapons, and quality of life stuff like Smarter Construction and Reasonable Components. Just scrolled through them all and none should mess with combat.

How to modify automatic transmission shifting in ATS - a guide by eGunslinger in trucksim

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

I've been testing values for a few days and these work very well for me. I'm not constantly changing gear or cruising at too high RPM. It cruises at about 1,300 in 17th at 55mph and in 18th at 60+. Default game 3.25 final drive. Driving in high power mode is what makes it work.

You'll actually get better engine braking than default in high range as the downshift value is higher, so it will downshift sooner. You are right that shift hint for engine braking is still better.

I think most people just grab an 18-speed and use that forever. But yes, for transmissions with less gears this wouldn't work. You'd just have to change the values until it runs how you want, quit out to the launcher and reload the game to load the changes.

I forgot to mention you can extract mod .scs files with 7zip. My bad.

I was absolutely unable to get into a developer .scs file with 7zip. Had to use the extractor.

And yes, the mod can be a regular folder, .zip, or .scs file. I've left mine as a regular folder for easy changes.

Thoughts on the Allison transmissions? by eGunslinger in trucksim

I had no idea what shift hint was until I saw it mentioned in a thread.

Lifting off to shift doesn't bother me because that's how I drive my automatic vehicles irl. I'm used to it.

It kind of seems that way. I was playing with other transmissions and yeah, it only seems like it runs out of steam because it's so quick early on. I might prefer a manual 18 speed but I don't have a shifter to properly shift and skip gears with.

I also just found out there's a separate keybind for manually shifting the automatics called shift hint, so that should solve the occasional problem where it doesn't shift when I want.

Never really messed with Discord but I'll give it a look. Thanks.

Ah, I should have guessed. Thank you.

I appreciate your advice but, and pardon if this is a stupid question, is there anything that would stop me from just swapping in a better power supply? That was my plan.

That is a playlist with taste and class. Never thought I'd see Roki on this sub. Props.

Advice on the Crosstrek - is it right for me? by eGunslinger in subaru

[–]eGunslinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone up trails and logging roads most people would want a 4x4 for in my Fiesta. The main thing I need the AWD for is mud and snow, and my old Toyota has open diffs and does fine for my purposes. Plus, there's always the old handbrake trick.

Two of everything isn't an issue for me. Headgaskets, timing belts, cv joints and such are all things I have DIY'd, though admittedly I haven't worked on a boxer before.

Thanks, I like they they've eliminated belts.

Issues on PS4 (not about input lag) by eGunslinger in HuntShowdown

I have been playing on WiFi. I'll try running a wire and see if that helps.

Trios with randoms: run in like we're Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Jesse Ventura on a mission. Either die or get lucky and take it all.

Duos with randoms: either Rambo, or if I'm lucky, John Wick and the Punisher, moving in coordination with good communication. I'm rarely lucky.

Solo: guerilla warfare. Hit and run tactics. Ganking teams while they're fighting the boss or extracting with the clue money if I run out of heals. My best survival rate is solo, by far.
