Eh, what's this MultiReclaim thingy?

[Argh]

In CA, there's a section like this:

Code: Select all

[RECLAIM]
{
multiReclaim=1;
reclaimMethod=0;
transportGround=1;	//0 = all ground units cannot be transported, 1 = all ground units can be transported (mass and size restrictions still apply). Defaults to 1.
transportHover=1;	//0 = all hover units cannot be transported, 1 = all hover units can be transported (mass and size restrictions still apply). Defaults to 0.
transportShip=0;	//0 = all naval units cannot be transported, 1 = all naval units can be transported (mass and size restrictions still apply). Defaults to 0.
transportAir=1;	//0 = all air units cannot be transported, 1 = all air units can be transported (mass and size restrictions still apply). Defaults to 0.
}

There's nothing about this in FishEye, though. So, is this dependent on LUA? Meh, it all looks useful to me...

What does the transport stuff have to do with reclaim?

[Argh]

I dunno, it's all in their MODRULES.TDF, and yet it doesn't look like it's in Spring, ah well.

[trepan]

CA's current modrules.tdf:
http://trepan.bzflag.bz/noshow/ca-modrules-ex.tdf

[Argh]

Ok, but do those things have any meaning outside of CA? I was trying to check that stuff for this version...

[trepan]

No, we've decided to start customizing the spring engine
so that it is optimized for CA. You'll start seeing a lot more
'CA-only' tags in such config files as modrules.tdf, armor.txt,
gamedata/defs.lua, etc...

P.S. For those who don't know sarcasm, this is it.
Ask a stupid question (and yes, such things do exist),
and get a stupid answer

[trepan]

The [DISTANCE] and [EXPERIENCE] sections only exist in SVN code.
The transport tags are not in the [RECLAIM] section, that's probably
something that you should have noted.

[Argh]

<shrugs> that is how it is in ca-r548.sdd, which I have sitting on my desktop. I didn't claim it made any sense

[smoth]

multi reclaim is cool, who added that?

[Argh]

Oh, and don't forget the rest of this. There are quite a few new things in ModRules, one of those areas of Spring I thought had been virtually abandoned due to LUA:

Code: Select all

[RECLAIM]
{
  multiReclaim=1;  // defaults to 0
  reclaimMethod=0; // defaults to 1
}

[TRANSPORTABILITY]
{
  transportGround=1; // defaults to 1
  transportHover=1;  // defaults to 0
  transportShip=0;   // defaults to 0
  transportAir=0;    // defaults to 0
}

[DISTANCE] 
{
builderUse2D=0;
}

[EXPERIENCE] 
{
powerScale=1.0;
healthScale=0.7;
reloadScale=0.4;
}

[FIREATDEAD]
{
fireAtKilled=0;
fireAtCrashing=0;
}

I would like to know what powerScale does... and is reloadScale's default really that low? I need to look at that code and get a feel for how the scaling actually works...

[Forboding Angel]

what does multireclaim do?

[AF]

Allow multiple conbots to reclaim a corpse at ocne for extra speed?

Read trepan's post! The thing he linked has comments which answer those questions...

MultiReclaim has been in ages, it was from the same patch with gradual reclaim IIRC.

[EXPERIENCE]
{
  // these are all used in the following form:
  //   value = defValue * (1 + (scale * (exp / (exp + 1))))

  powerScale=1.0;   // defaults to 1.0
  healthScale=0.0;  // defaults to 0.7
  reloadScale=0.5;  // defaults to 0.4
}

That tells us nothing as far as I can see. Can you see something I can't?

[tombom]

duh i can't read either
sorry
