[SUGGESTION] Vehicles, some improvements that could be made

Before I start with my suggestions, I must say that Tzork and whoever else contributed to the vehicles did an excellent job with them. Its little wonder that the vehicle server is among the most popular for players

But they can still be improved in several ways. One is that the miniguns on the Spider do not rotate like they should. I know this is more of a minor inconvenience, but this is something that players will notice.

The other more important issue is one on the graphics of the vehicles. The textures are still from Nexuiz, and the Nexuiz logo is still even on the helicopter vehicle. This issue can also apply for the walkers and turrets too.

Are there any plans to improve the texture sets and graphics of the vehicles?

Textures where meant to be fixed, yes - tbh i forgot abt it so thanks for the reminder. also anyone feeling they could pitch in and help with this would be more then welcome.

Mini-guns not rotating as they should? hm not sure what you mean, will have a look later today.

While wer at it - we need moar maps too. ons, assault, keyhunt hell even domination could be quite interesting.

tZork, I think Squigger means weapons animation which is not implemented yet.

Once I'm finished with Pipe I'll start making a huge assault map placed inside a twin volcano. I have the layout, so I'll be starting this pretty soon.

No problem Tzork, glad to be of help and narly had it right when I meant that the mini guns on the spider have no rotating weapon animations associated with them.

Can't Wait to see that map Minkovsky, we could definitely use some more vehicle maps. There are only three at the moment. We could use some more maps too for Assault and the other modes.

Verified, and odd since it had this animation since forever i guess i broke something and never noticed. will fix soon.

An enter-vehicle-key would be great

I don't think they're merged with master yet. Are they? If so, how can I place them on the map?

They are in master Minkovsky, merged a few days ago.

Thanks for the info. I'll update my checkout tomorrow, then.

A way to spawn the players in vehicles and disable the weapons on them would be perfect for race maps too... Imagine tearing it up in some Wakizashi's, F-Zero style.

hehehe yes that be fun. tough it'd need some changes to race code too (currently i suspect race wont work with vehicles at all, but should be a fairly easy thing to fix)

Mini-guns animation are now fixed in master and at my test server (also now hit sounds when hit in a vehicle and when hitting a turret)

Awesome, thanks Tzork

So what can be done in improving the graphics and textures of the vehicles, turrets, walkers e.t.c.?

I just realized visblocking that map will be a pain in the arse.
