Modification Help / How to make a car with Support_EngineSounds have only one gear?

« Last post by mrwallace888 on April 24, 2024, 12:52:58 PM »

For some reason if I give a vehicle an ES_gearCount of "1", it doesn't work correctly, even when I do the gear pitches and gear speeds. I was trying to do an electric car or something with only one gear and any less than 2 gears seems to make it function incorrectly.

Code: [Select]

//gear count, will not work if you do not get the count right for ES_gearSpeeds and ES_gearPitches
ES_GearCount = 1;
// in seconds how long it takes to go from REV of last gear to REV Of new gear
ES_GearPitchDelay = 0.3;
//can only shift gears every 0.3 seconds
ES_gearShiftDelay = 0.1; // SECONDS
//gear speeds in TU (1:2 in terms of studs)
ES_GearSpeeds = "0";
//gear pitches, PITCH_START PITCH_PEAK
ES_gearPitches = "0 1.0";
//max pitch the vehicle can ever make
ES_maxPitch = 1.0;

the forum costs pennies to host a month according to him (as it is self hosted) so fortunately (or unfortunately) its unlikely to suddenly disappear

i think badspot somehow is still profiting off the forum via ads so its not gonna go down unless it starts losing money

last i heard the forums are entirely self hosted by badspot, and the site doesn't accept file large file uploads (2MB max).
it's probably cheap enough that a single game sale can likely fund the server expenses for another couple of months. especially now that activity is at a minimum.

probably nothing lucrative but if its generating at least some amount of profit its worth keeping up, nothing really happens on here anymore

i mean, there are thousands of bots scouring the forums at any given time, but im not too sure on how ad revenue is accrued through smf

Most Online Today: 630. Most Online Ever: 1945 (March 20, 2024, 02:05:52 PM)

it makes me wonder if he's found a money glitch

*This will also mark our first ever two-in-a-row no post days
And with 4 no post days, that also marks the most in a single month so far.

So breaking the combo to bring this up.

Also, if the forum goes 30 days without any posts does it officially close?
