So, I hopped on the Discord Server that Keen has up, out of curiosity.
Text chat is blocked.
No one talks.
AkaMikeB, also known as the grande failure of Warframe, is a VIP.
Wilcoxmongler is the only "dev" around.
The channel is littered with pony and animu avatars.
>>127900171
If the game does not work or I can no longer maintain it, I have little other options. That is not the case yet. If it is, I will announce it right and proper and make the gameworld available on the workshop. Right now I am looking at 108€ monthly paid for a game that is inoperable 50% of any given time.

>>127901190
Yes.
>>127900824
i'm honestly surprised you've kept the server going this long. i'd have said "fuck this shit" a long time ago
>>127900824
>>127901208
Kinda tempted to go in and ask about when the game will be actually playable again and watch the sparks and fedoras fly.

I only mention it because I was planning to post an OP with that fixed.
>>127902007
Pretty much exactly what I'd expect honestly.
I hate how shit the playerbase has become.
This is about the fastest I've gotten anything to go in FtD, although the jets feel like they might be cheating a bit since it isn't water-based propulsion. On the other hand, since I didn't enable jet control in water mode, I can easily turn off the jets and just run with the props for a low speed, precise maneuvering mode.
Not really sure if this design has any practical applications, though.

You can suicide ram on full speed into enemy flagship, jump out and gun down mainframe.
>>127901330
I do that, but I let a day go by and then I decide. I don't want to take away something other people use.
On the other hand, the server alwas does this:
>announce it's new
>people swarm my friends list and the access group
>one or three guys still around after a month
>everyone else fucked off without a word
>le ebin 164 slots serbian
Was the same way last time. I guess I'll decide on the 28th if the server stays or goes. If it goes, it was a nice ~250 bucks experiment that failed. But as they say, don't throw good money after bad money, eh?

GMod, fuckers. It's such a fin game but nobody plays it because their first experience is DarkRP or TTT with 10 year olds.
>>127903924
I just find GMod's aesthetic to be too depressing to be played too often.

Elaborate? There's a large variety of maps and props, don't really understand what you mean.
>>127903891

>>127903891
Corneroids has no code obfuscation. you can just decompile it to C# if you're that desperate.

They're a bunch of air intakes for the custom jets.
Only weapons I see at a glance are the rams.
>>127904973
those are custom jets.
it's basically just three dildos with oversouped custom jets welded together with some wings in between. custom jets trade the metal cost of making engines and engine powered jets, for fuel cost per time.
>>127902727
What did SEToolbox do, exactly?
I can see about whipping together a little program that lets you view the XML data as a collapsible tree graph or something and let you edit the data visually, if that's what you need.

It displayed all entities, allowed to edit them down to the block level, export/import, colours, owners, positions, speeds, damage states, rotations, and displayed weight, block count, distance to players and other shit.
Essentially, it turned the XML into a workable asset overview.
Some functions, like asteroid import, have been depracted because keen killed them, to some degree.

Reverse that gif. Even if the server was on and I had updated spengies, my average internet connection quality is terrible.
Besides, all those mods and not a single sword one.It's not that hard :-)
>>127908627

>>127906672
It was a visual program, so you downloaded the world file from the server then re-uploaded it when finished with management, right? Or do I need to make it something you can run from a console?

Robocrafts max RP amount is being cut down to 999,999,999RP, so that they no longer have people reaching over 2 billion and fucking up the 32bit system.
Goes into effect next week, probably during the patch that will add the new Flak Cannons.
Sucks because I have 1.3 billion RP, and now Ill have to spend some dosh to bring it just under a billion. But fuck, theres nothing to spend money on anyway once you get to the top tier and play megabots for a bit.
They should just let people buy premium, or cosmetics, or colors for retardedly huge sums of RP if they want.

They do patches on thursdays, so next thursday we are apparently getting a new weapon. The picture they posted makes it look like either a massive gun emplacement that will be on all the maps that each team gets, or its a new weapon type to use on your bots.
Im not sure exactly what it is. But god help them if its a weapon you can put on your robot, because it would be fuckign hilarious if they put out an anti-air weapon so ground units dont get shit on so hard by flying units, only to have flying units use it against ground and be even stronger.

They need to remove that stupid animation where your rails get loaded one by one though, it adds a few seconds more to an already long reload time
>>127920187
Oh, also removing of "6 active guns at time" limit. I think they should call it "RAISE OF THE GUNBEDS" or something.
>>127919885
It's still an alpha.
Just some early tests
Has the multiplayer hot fix released or is server still ded?

Aight, server has been update and is currently booting up the game world. Since the update also ruined SESE support, we are doing this with our low-tech fallback service. That means, no manual saves, only autosavves, and a couple other things that mostly affect Keo and me, but not you as players.
Server should, hopefully, be up soon. Also, I had a pretty sit day at work, my back is acting up, and I am exhausted. Soo, no maintenance has been done and the mods for the streets are missing. I'll get that done tomorrow. Soz.
>Reminder
Build Racers. We start with the 14x class. That means, build a racer of your choice of form factor, can be wheeled, sliding or touchless hover. It shoud work in atmosphere and around 1G and be able to make tight turns. 14x means, a maximum of 14 blocks wide and/or long, with 1-2 blocks lenience for extra slim vehicles. When you got that, give the grid a name and message me on steam. I'll try and make them indestructible, so we can race despite clang.That also means, pls no rotor/piston stuff. I would have to make each subgrid indestructible individually...
See ya tomrrow.

>>127938760
I know he plans to replace them, I'll get rid of them eventually.
But the almost zero recoil, good rate of fire and decent damage they do without getting held up with reload speed are too good to pass up at the moment. Maybe I'll put some teeny tiny AA guns on it.

Kromkar here.
I'm about 1/3 of the way done with the Rocinante. It's a lot of heavy armor and interior walls, so it'll be expensive as fuck to build in survival. But, it's as close as I can be to source material, including the "vertical" deck orientation with the nose of the ship being up and the engines being down.
When it's finished I'll publish it to the workshop. After I finish the Roci I plan on building the Canterbury, maybe an Earther Frigate, and I've been tossing the idea of building that fuckhuge mormon generation ship cum battleship.

I make a command ship, I strip off weapons, load on resources and combat repair tentacles, with anti missile defence.
Doesn't require direct input, but assists the fleet greatly, especially early on.

>yfw those flaks will be turrets that act as towers in ASSFAGGOTS>yfw they won't be heavy nor mountable only on top and flyers will ironically wreck ground units even further.

no, your team was full of brick shitters with the attention span of an alzheimer patient and the tactics of a 3yo
never before in robocuc history has it been easier to maim, cripple and shit on air. your entire team has been outskilled. deal with it crybaby.
Building an Ork Gargant megabot. Should I go plasma, or SMG?
I feel like the huge kaboom of plasma blasts firing every which way would fit a gargant better, and be alot more fun.
But SMGs are literally the only thing able to kill flyers, and megabot matches are filled with flyers.
>>127979567
Oh god, there is something definitely wrong with these thrusters.
>>127981094
> should I go with flavor or something that will make my playthrough an enjoyable experience
SMG, obviously. Plus SMG is more dakka.
>>127981106
That length though.
>>127980913
Yeah that's what I did too besides the missile defenses. it's really useful.

in FtD how do i edit a torpedo ballast tank for anti-submarine duty?
>>127984652
If you're looking to take out barely below surface vessels, setting a depth may be appropriate, but for 3-dimensional tracking in water, simply set the ballast tank to 0 boyancy and nil depth.
This will cause your torpedo to sink or float only due to its propulsion.
>>127981267
I really enjoy building a laser focussed on range and using it as a fleet wide anti missile. Saves putting it on everything else.
Excess engine power on a crazy batshit frontal shield is cool too.
Though I think of command ships as kind of a rear bulwark, not something that something that sits way out of the fight.
So that might be a change in preference.
>>127984964
yeah i fiddled with 0 buoyancy and it seems like the propellers move it up and down depending on the depth of the enemy

Hey /vg/, I think this is my first time posting here, so please bear with me.
I wanted to start the construction of a jet/hoverbike. I mean a vihicle that would float above the ground in atmosphere or on stations, but woudn't require to manually compensate for bumps and other changes in the ground height. So basically, like a normal bike, but with thrusters instead of wheel.
Now, I started to work with thruster ofc, and sensors were a natural choice for this work. After creating a test frame with thrusters and a sensor below, I found a problem:
While the sensor did trigger, when the distance to the ground was smaller than 1m, and then increased the override of the thruster, thus increasing the height. The problem was, that I was unable to decrease the override after the sensor wasn't triggered.
After a bit of trying (and failing) I decided that probably using the programmable block would be the way to go. Now, I did a little bit of C++ a few years ago, but I can't say I'm fluent in C#.
So I came up with [pic_related], but it says that the method used for increasing override is wrong.
Also I'm not entirely shure if this would work, as this is my first project with programming in space engineers.
Could any wise anon help me with this?

>>127985782
Falling asleep. Will help you tomorrow morning if not answered yet. Check example scripts for safe way to call methods on objects :
object.GetActionByName(action_name).Apply (object)
Or something like that. Directly calling methods on downcasted objects can work but is iffy and unreliable in my experience.
Also even though it's C# you'll still need parentheses to call functions, unless you just want to reference said function.

That literally does nothing.the expanse is bretty gud so far
I had to cut it down to 6 guns to have enough blocks to fill shit in.
I am disgusted with this pitiful amount of dakka.
I could probably shrink it down a bit and shave off 500 blocks to place 2 more guns.

I'm a Choppy supporter myself, but I do see Dakkas points.
Looks fine anon.
I should redownload and make a repair trukk to hide behind it.
if machines can target and engage each other from several kilometers away why do i need radar and trackers? they have ranges of like 500 meters...
>>127987665
You can always stick an IJN rising sun flag on a min/max ship to piss off the nearby koreans but I guess that's not fun enough.
>>127988195
I believe the dev mentioned they do nothing at the moment.
>>127988356
Yet for some reason, they're still available for use.
It only confuses people, really.
>>127988663
Yeah, though things like the supply pump do mention doing nothing currently.

how about nick actually adds in the shit that isn't in yet before he gets into a cycle of constantly overhauling shit and forcing us to redesign fucking everything ten times over
>>127988865
Dunno man, it's a game where you could really just keep adding and adding and adding.
Still one of the better devs out there, if a bit neurotic.
>>127988865
Well, they already have an outline for how that might work.
Both for detection and antidetection

Spengies wont even be around this time next year. So dont worry about it too much.
How the fug do I build antimissile in From the Depths.
With Ai plugged up to missile warner, I can get lasers to fire at it, but even big lasers on continuous or pulse can barely hit missiles, they only land hits about a third of the time, can maybe stop one.
Anti missile interceptors don't actually track onto missiles, and even if they did, I doubt they'd have the agility to actually hit them.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
Lasers just seem shit atm, need an insanely huge laser to actually take down missiles.
With anti missile interceptors, what gives?
I've got missile warners plugged up to the AI and everything.
