Is it reversed?

I collided with any enemy online and got the message "Wilbus has collided in you". Shouldn't it be the *other* pilots name there?

I got the same thing last night and thought it abit odd that I'd collided with myself, talented but odd.

Probley not, Now there tattle telling on you, ----- Is this saying whos fault it is? --------- Both rammer and ramme get same message? or both get told they rammed?

All this will do is start up more bs between players. It was bad enough when you had to assume you were rammed. I can see it now on ch200, oh and the pm's now should be great to deal with.

The ch200 whiners just got a boost from this message being implicated. It might as well say: system (name here) has just rammed your arse, let the whines begin.

Change all of them now..... you just got bombed by..... you just got a proxie kill from...... Trees just killed your arse...... Trees just flipped you over..... your tiger rounds just bounced off that m3...... so on so on...... you just missed all the hangers your bombing sucks...... funny stuff :0

Both sides get same message wilbus. It just uses private channel from your FE hence it is echoed back.

Won't the message just tell the person who got rammed that he got rammed without giving him damage?

I mean if the ram happened only in the opposite F.E. then you'd just get a message 'player x rammed you' and you see him go poof, right?

Correct Siaf:

But do to the current sceam, the person who collided also gets an echo of that message, just like if you typed on private channel.

Ok... so both get message that they collided with them selves but only the one who rammed on his FE gets dammage like normal?

Willbus, due to the fact I needed new host message to handle it correctly, but couldn't put that message in in this test version , view it like this.

You just collided with another guy. He didn't collide.

You then sent a message to him that Wilbus has collided with you via private message.

Note: you would also see that message you just typed echoed in the buffer.

Thats why you saw the message that you collided, under final system you would only see the message if someone else detected a collision with you.

what happens if the player is pinged once by someone else then collides with you.

do you still get the collision message?

"do" != "due"

Sorry, just see too many people making this mistake.

So, no whining on 200 then. The message states who initiated the ram and whos FEs fault it is, and the inocent fly away, right?

Could lead to lag whinnig though

Ok sounds good, thanks for explaining

hubsonfire · « **Reply #13 on:** August 31, 2005, 09:41:22 PM »

HT, will those who are rammed still get the credit for the kill, or is the collision now like crashing or being killed by ack (meaning in some scenarios, you die without another player getting credit on the buffer)?

TimRas · « **Reply #14 on:** September 01, 2005, 12:00:29 AM »

I think that the only difference is this new collision message. Scoring etc. remains the same. The purpose is that now you'll see also those rams you "win".
