I see. Well WAB.

#202

I feel a bit better today so I might nip on for a bit tonight if I have the energy.

#203

Whlst WAB.

#204

I don't know if either of you two remember (or care in the slightest...?) but I mentioned Friday about this HUD extension thingy I had done for Evochron - which puts some useful, real-time stats up in another window (for your second monitor).

I have pretty much finished it for now and was wondering if you guys were interested - whether I should bung it up on the site or not.

You can use it alongside that EvoMetrics - meaning you have a live map and some useful other info all shown on your second monitor.

#205

Frell it. Uploaded the HUD extension, for anyone that is interested. You can get it from here. 

Remember to set your game up as explained to generate this savedata.txt file first (like EvoMetrics), or else it will not work.

Nice little gadget.

You do know that you have the fuel in Evometrics as well right? (Carrier Data Tab)

I noticed that the coordinates in your little program is wrong.
SX and X are correct.
SY and X should be SY and Y.
SZ and X should be SZ and Z.

Strange - I got line definitions as follows:

PilotName
Fuel
Cash
CargoBay1
CargoBay2
CargoBay3
CargoBay4
CargoBay5
PlayerPositionX
PlayerPositionY
PlayerPositionZ
PlayerPositionSX
PlayerPositionSY
PlayerPositionSZ
.... and so on...are these not correct?

EDIT: nevermind, think I fixed it (just forgot to rename labels is all). Re-uploaded.

I did, but that's really the only useful thing shown on it IMO. The weapons, hull etc. seems a little pointless - hence why I added a few things I wanted to see

Agree. Shields are in game and are not that important since you look at them in a fight.

The new version will hopefully have some more features and gadgets in it.

#210

I look forward to seeing this new version - from what I have seen so far it looks like it is going to be really cool!

#211

Any luck killing that carrier yet?

#212

Havent tried again. I get anhilated before I can even get within weapons range.

#213

Could you not just fly in at max speed on inertial and spunk a few fulcrum torpedoes at it as you slide by?

FT's might do the trick but it's a big chance that you get blasted away as well! 

Use lasers to bring the shields down (That way your friendly carriers fire do more
damage as well) and then target weapons and fire way. Circle the ship in inertia just
withing weapons range. When weapons are destroyed you can moon him if you like!!

Take out incoming missiles with guns. If you learn to circle the carrier close enough it's own
hull will be in the way of most missiles aimed at you and will never hit you.

#215

I will give that a go, thanks - but I could not even get in weapons range to fire when I tried before.

Try taking out the escort first. Keep well clear of the carrier so it's missiles and guns
can't reach you. If you try and take out the carrier with an escort chasing you it will
be very hard. At least until you are an awesome super duper great Fighter Pilot and can
handle 10+ reds on your tail and take out a carrier at the same time!

#217

Sound advice. I shall alter my obviously flawed tactics.

How many times do you think I had to rethink my crappy strategies before I became
a decent fighter pilot LOL! I still do after 1000's of flight hours.

Btw, my wife leaves for the States on Thursday so I'll have plenty of time to fly this
weekend. Wohaaaaaa!

Cool! Well it would be good to get all of us on at once for some serious Evochronning  

I did send you a PM yesterday regarding other games (doesn't look like you have read it yet ), so if you are into any of the other stuff we are, you can join us there too I, personally, would like to give Alien Swarm another shot...

Don't forget, the Mumble server is there if you so desire as well.

I'll install Mumble before the weekend and try to find you guy's. Any instructions on how
to log on to your server is appreciated. I normally use TeamSpeak 3 so if it's anything
like that I won't have any problems.

Answered your PM as well now.
