true, but the can not move errors would only occur when they're built, not afterwards, right?

Or perhaps don't make them units, and just fixed turrets.

spring tries to move them off the factory yardmap.

Can buildings load units in Spring?

Nemo · Post by **Nemo** » 26 Jan 2006, 02:12

I think so, but that's from a rough memory of some fancy factories that Zwzgs made a while ago.

Why can't they just be turrets?

That would be a quick fix, just make each sort of weapon buildable by the relevant engineer as a fixed bunker. The drawback is that the weapon can't be destroyed independently of the bunker, i.e. by air attacks...

Nono...have the the gun position build the turret inside itself. That should do the trick.

Can buildings be built inside yardmaps?

Can you make the yardmap hollow or three-sided or somethin? Or have it kinda off to one side and build the gun somewhere else? Can collision spheres be seperate from yardmaps?

If you make the yardmap have more openings, then there's no point in building a bunker, since the gun inside will get shot before the bunker.

You can build turrets on top of buildings. KuroTA does this a fair bit, if I remember correctly.

I was sayin you could keep the collision spheres like they are, but have the gun built by an invisible yardmap that's off to one side, or somethin. I have this incredible ignorance of the coding of Spring, but a mindset that keeps me shoving dumb ideas towards you. Sorry for the stupidity.

Ummmm, OK then.

Bad news, I tried out the targetcategory stuff with less than stellar results.

Tank v tank works ok, but anything vs infantry is totally buggy.

Anything new?

FLOZi · Post by **FLOZi** » 03 Feb 2006, 00:11

Spiked gave me the aircraft, I need to do some tweaking of other things and a re-upload. Bit burnt out at the minute what with being back at uni and excessive BF2 playing.

Hurrah. more AATA to play ^^

Looking forward to the new version.

is this mod out already ?

Das Bruce · Post by **Das Bruce** » 05 Feb 2006, 02:05

Internal beta'ing last I recall

Felix the Cat · Post by **Felix the Cat** » 27 Feb 2006, 20:47

I don't have the latest version. Or maybe I do. I really have no idea.

May I suggest that the version number change along with each version of the mod? There's like 3 or 4 "AATA v0.9"s out there, and I haven't a clue which one is the latest.

Let's just rename the latest one "AATA Beta 0.10" and go up from there. Makes it a lot easier for the testers.

b1.7

It is still AATA 0.9 as really we (ok. I) am still in the process of porting it to Spring, making minimal gameplay changes. Once everything is working reasonably well and bugfree I will release the final 0.9 while working on AATA 1.0 with a big balance overhaul and probably other nifty stuff.

Perhaps AATA 1.0 can be renamed to AAS 0.1? Unless Absolute Annihilation already uses that acronym.

The big comp is fixed now, so I can do testing and that again

>_<

Let me know if you have any drudge work that needs doing (ie, rote messing with values, resizing, ect) and I'll be glad to help.

My problem is that I don't have any true skills - no modeling, texturing, or scripting skill here.
