Number of races?

raddick — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:12:37 GMT

Hi, I have a number of custom roles that I have defined for the Gotham sim... and find that the soundsets are specific to each role definition. So it appears that if I wanted to have someone be a male human (and get male soundsets) vs a female human, I have to define two similar roles. This means that we are limited to 12 total roles (because of dialog box limitations)?

Is it possible to define male or female (or other gender(!) ) in addition to role?

Thanks

How to communicate with the region server

The ML region server provides a way to tell a script about some sim settings. This is e.g. useful for weapon which want to test if the region is ML-enabled, or need more information on the combat settings. The communication channel for this is -399422. The only possible request is the string "info?", which will result in an answer string on the same channel. In a script you would poll the data by Code:llRegionSay(-399422, "info?"); The answer will be something ...

How do you calculate weapon arc?

woolyfsh — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 17:45:08 GMT

According to the METALIFE Develoers guide part 1: MetaLife also automatically calculates valid attack arcs, so you are free to specify sensors with 360 degrees for your weapons. The higher the specified core range of a weapon, the smaller is the opening angle chosen by the meter (that means, a spear can attack from a larger distance, but not at a 90 degree opening angle like a sword, but at a much smaller angle) OK fine, but since the delay on my weapons is triggered by a hit detection, ...

Weapon Damage tables

woolyfsh — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:00:56 GMT

I am looking to try and set up a baseline damage table for us when creating weapons. The aim here is to try and start with consistent figures for damage/speed/stamina combination to establish base weapon patterns. What do i mean by this? Well by setting a "baseline" for a variety of sword types, it would allow a little consistency in weapons behavior as seen by the users. But as a baseline, we can deviate from it for special attacks or for nuances of the particular weapon. By having ...

Question on weapon range

woolyfsh — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 22:14:20 GMT

I am just trying to refine my melee weapons tables. The sensor range on melee weapons is indicated as 1.5+range with the max being 5.5. Well the range I use, should that be the length of the weapon or the total range, persons reach plus weapon length? If I do the later then most weapons will be close to 5.5m. The former makes more sense. For example: The average person has a reach of 1.5 meters with their bare hand. So I could calculate the following: Pocket Knife (<0.1m): 1.5 + 0 ...

Suggestion for Website

Growler — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:07:46 GMT

There didn't seem to be a place to lodge suggestions for the website rather than ML itself - so here goes any-hows.

As a new user of ML - it would be a boon to be able to locate Weapons that are compatible / enhanced for ML. Until such time as ML is as widespread as GM, DCS, CCS, etc., I am having a hard time tracking down the weapon I want - a ML Enhanced Katana. I'm guessing that in the meantime any old GM Katana will have to do.

Look at not reporting correctly?

raddick — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 23:10:13 GMT

If I choose male and then say /1ml look at me, I get this: [14:55] ML 1.16: Gender/race: female, defense experience: 162 I get this same answer no matter what kind of character presets I put in the server. Is look at wrong, or the role not loading correctly? Is there a way for me to send this 'look at' message to the meter and trap the answer by script? Thanks!

"Practice" mode

raddick — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:21:50 GMT

There doesnt appear to be a Practice or Arena mode with this meter. If not, I would love to have that! It would be nice to configure a short timeout in that mode, 5, 10, maybe 15 seconds.

We are using ML in the City of Rust as the combat meter, in conjunction with a custom meter I have written which supports a Capture The Flag game. It would be handy to have a short 'stun' time rather than having to aid someone every time they go down.

A fellow in the GM forum asked if GM had the ability to notify a user's weapons that the user had been capped, so the weapon could auto-sheath. I think the idea that the meter might announce events on a common channel might be useful for that type of application, as well as if a sim owner wanted to track stats in their sim, like who has the most caps, hit accuracy, etc. This could be an optional function enabled by the server... as it does add additional messages that the meter must broadcast. ...
