Which ships and weapons are you using? Which mission are you playing? Which build are you using? What are your command lines? |

I use latest redmenace built 20060109. Bug happens in any mission. My command lines are: exe_filepath = C:\FS2\fs2_open_r-20060109.exe; game_flags = -spec -glow -jpgtga -cache_bitmaps -missile_lighting -orbradar -ballistic_gauge -3dwarp -snd_preload ; active_mod = ; |

Yes, thats true... Especially rearming Torpedos is taking several Minutes, sometimes... But sometimes it's faster... Oh... It happens since a few weeks... ;) |

Well according to the retail tables, it takes 20 seconds to reload a pack of cyclops and 50 seconds to reload a pack of helios. There is a sound syncing issue that i found may cause reloading to take forever. If bombs are the first used weapon in secondaries, then it may take a while longer to reload then normal. I'm currently testing that theory and a possible fix. A workaround for now would be to have bombs in the second and third banks and something that reloads quickly in the first one, like tempests. If you shoot off even 1 tempest before reloading, it should go alot quicker. |

Ok i think i fixed that issue. I will be posting a test build in the recent builds forum shortly. |
|
|
Yeah, it is fixed |

|
How did it break in the first place? I never noticed this problem until a few days ago. |
|
|
Well, what can I say? Shit happens, man :) |

Goober: The first bank to load had its rearm time multiplied by 3 in order to sync up with the loading sound. Its been like this since retail. However, its rare that bombs would be in all 3 slots, especially on bombers where you have a bank of anti-fighter missiles for protection. The top bank is usually the smallest, so you're sacrificing less bombs by putting the anti-fighter missiles first. These missiles are fast loading so the multiplication won't be noticed. However, if you're using a suicide Myrmidon with all 3 banks of Helios and somehow survive, it'll take 150 seconds to reload the top bank and 3 seconds to reload the other two. The bottom two will be loaded as the support ship docks. edit: The fix is to delay loading everything by the length of the initial reloading sound by using snd_get_duration() and then start the loading procedure that way. Reloading the suicide myrmidon will only take about 5 seconds since all of its bombs are loaded in at once. It only takes that long since only one reload is needed for each bank (holds 1/1/2) edited on: 01-17-06 11:42 |
