Title: bomb craters
Post by: titanic3 on February 19, 2007, 02:29:32 PM
when we drop bombs in AH, from the air, it look like the crater is a hole in the earth. but when we use a gv and drive through it, we go on top of it like it's just a normal landscape. why don't we make it so that when u drive thru it, u fall it like a hill.

If I understand it correctly, It would require a very large and complicated overhaul of the code for land, much like the argument going against submarines and the way water is coded now.

I think these surfaces are pretty much 2-D planes... and resemble wire-frame graphics.  The contact model sometimes results in planes flying underground, or flipping ground vehicles.

Such a change is more appropriate for a next generation game.... and probably one meant for high-speed connections only.  So long as the game supports much narrower throughputs, you are constrained on adding things like changeable terrain..... in this case you get a simple graphic that overlays the existing terrain.

If they did it in the old days "WARBIRDS" then they can do it here. In the Warbirds day U could crater a runway.

For AH, not a good idea to crater the runway. Too easy to do. In reality, back in WW2 the reasons were obvious.
