UnWheel

I didn't think manual would be mandatory. Never got that impression anyway.

I might of read it wrong then. But either way. Im against manual.

Manual is going to stay optional, in the current form it's just an amusement. Automatic is already redlining when not damaged, at the moment. This is however a balance matter.

Refueling, tyre wear and slipstreaming soon?

Also, about the best lap tracking, can be done sometime later, but it will get crippled if you fail balancing a single car which would get whored.

With that being said. I'm kinda worried about making manual a forced thing. When it comes to racing games or any game that has cars I will always play auto. I drive a manual car in real life as a daily driver. Its one thing to drive in real life but to try and do it in a game it just never works the way it should. The only way it would work somewhat right is to use a full on race seat with a proper racing joystick set. (which shamefully I have).

I didn't have that much problems getting used to manual with it on mouse. Cluctch is what needs legs to work well.

My log is getting filled with a number of things. I've had several crashes, which I don't think I've caught the logs for, but if I do I'll post it here.

Here's some stuff I'm getting spammed with (sorry for the line numbers, vim):

Edit:

That didn't take long, got the crash:

Code: Select all

122872 Log: Unreal Call Stack: UScriptedTexture::Get <- FOpenGLRenderInterface::SetShaderMaterial <- FOpenGLRenderInterface::SetMaterial <- USkeletalMeshInstance::Render <- FDynamicActor::Render <- RenderLevel <- FLevelSceneNode::Render <- FPlayerSceneNode::Render <- UGameEngine::Draw <- USDLViewport::Repaint <- USDLClient::Tick <- ClientTick <- UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop

Looks like it could have something to do with a shader/texture, I wonder if this is related to me running this from OSX (OpenGL).

Also, as you can tell, I got ~122k messages of the UnWheel.UWHUDRally.DrawStuff Accessed None's also.

Thanks for posting.

Yeah, HUD issues are not resloved.

I will give it a try. I'll do my best to put my bias opinion to the side.

[Azarael]

I used Rand(VehicleSkins.Length) for the SkinIndex of forced vehicle skins but it appears that 1-VehicleSkins.Length is expected and not 0-VehicleSkins.Length-1.

Off by one error
I noticed that several cars always showed the default bubbly-like texture.

We keep having to kickvote 1 guy because he isn't clicking ready and that just causes frustration to everyone else having to wait. Can we fix this?

Not to mention you have to decipher who it actually is who isn't clicking ready due to the scoreboard only showing 9 players.
