since Armagan saw fit to assign a single byte of memory to that value, it caps out at 63 and instead of 64 it starts over at 1.

63 for a single byte? Why not 255, like in PacMan?

Still, I never new this, I gotta try that sometime.

This is ****in' awesome! Thanks, Armagan and the team. I'm pretty sure no one was hoping for that.
For the last few years, people couldn't even make a post saying "i wantz mulitpleir nao plz k thks lol!!!11!" without being reminded that multiplayer is impossible to implement.

Kick ass. Oh, this is such great news, I must spread them.

Edit: why is this not at the top of the forumboards, where it says "News"? Don't people care?

Seff 说:

Archery as it is now is very realistic - there is no aiming device on a bow, so the reticule is merely a device to compensate for the fact that one cannot aim along the arrow in third person view. Learning to judge distance versus power and trajectory is the art of archery.

While I am happy with the targeting reticule we have right now, it would've been better if the player could use it to aim in 3rd person mode - right now it is largely pointing in the wrong direction. Shooting a person in the head from 3 meters away in 3rd person mode grants enemy with an arrow in the chest.

Amagic 说:

4- Why do arrows spawn below the targeting reticle (w/e it's called)?

点击展开...

It's called a GLITCH. It only shows in 3rd person view; if you use the first person view you actually hit what you aim at.

I've been *****ing about it since .800, but to no success. Try shooting people in 3rd person in .751, you'll feel the difference.

I am surprised no one has pointed out yet: shooting arrows / bolts, as well as throwing things is GLITCHED in any version since and including .800, but only in 3rd person mode.

Very easy to check: aim at something, then press R. Then press R again. Watch the targeting reticule bounce.

Another way to check: when in town / village, pick an object close to you (for example, select a particular brick in a wall). Aim in 3rd person and shoot. Now try aiming in 1st person and shoot. Did you hit it?

If anyone knows of a fix (I don't), please direct.

Here's another review you can add, from www.ag.ru.
http://www.ag.ru/reviews/mount_and_blade, in Russian. The score given the game is 77/100, rated by the website as "Not Bad". The review is mostly positive, mentioning the lack of a final goal as the main downside. If you really need, I will translate a few quotes, but I figured English-language reviews would be sufficient.

Mostly unknown in the western countries, AG.RU (Absolute Games) is one of the biggest PC game websites in the world (today almost 14000 games in its database, and a little over 4000 reviews). I have been a fan of the site for almost 6 years because of their appreciation for smaller projects, being unaffected by the hype of European and American magazines, and rather strict reviews (in 2008, so far they published 225 game reviews; out of them 2 have received scores over 90). The site is the reason I found M&B three years ago.

Thank you so much! I haven't even tried it yet, but I know it's awesome! I'm here since .751.

(thread stats over last nine hours: average 2000 views an hour, 4 pages of posts an hour. Righteously popular!)

I checked local Best Buy (nothing yet), GameStop (also nothing, it is not even in the release binder), and A Fred Meyer's (long shot, and nothing).
Where I live I don't really have a lot of choice: we don't have Fry's, Circuit City, and Target is built but not open yet.
Please post if you find it in a store.

What an accomplishment.

I made a thread on this 100,000 posts ago.

点击展开...

Do you mean you made a thread on 900000 posts or you actually made a 1 millionth post 100000 posts ago somehow?

Oh, and how long ago was 100000 posts ago? My guess is 3-4 months.

Great. How are we going to find the One?

I was going to be the One, but I think I was asleep during 1000000th post and missed it.
Interesting how this is so close to the 1.0 version release.

.751, the last version in which you could actually aim with a bow, crossbow, etc. in 3rd person.

Yeah, Xendar arena kicked ass!

Thank you for the explanation, WilliamBerne. You made it very clear how it works (at least how you believe it works). What I still don't understand is WHY it works like that.

Scorch: I am concerned because when I played M&B for the very first time, I played as an archer in third person, and I have a lot of good memories about that time. I thought it would be cool to relive them in the all-new and shiny M&B.

Thank you for the link, I will get straight to scripting!

WilliamBerne 说:

yes, i think it is a feature, of course not that important or impressive, but practical.

ok here is my explanation:
(WilliamBerne's drawing)

点击展开...

Thanks for your time making the illustration, but it is incorrect: on your drawing the green dotted line and the red dotted line would be parallel (will not intersect, but will just go straight). The arrow would always fly down the red line, even if you aim with the green one (third person).

WilliamBerne 说:

i'm a 3rd person shooter, i like this feature because it gives me a little acceptable difficulty and makes fun.

点击展开...

Why, I should add more such "features" for WilliamBerne here! How about no more experience gaining? Merchants that take your money, but do not trade the goods? Immortal enemies? Randomly disappearing saved games?
Things like those are called bugs or glitches, not features.

EasyCo506 说:

I don't care if it is a feature, it's annoying. Why is it not the same way in first person if it's a feature?

Good point.

fran27 说:

ive aways just adjusted my aim, use that bottom of the reticle as the guide instead of the middle.

Espressokuppi 说:

Hmm... If the targeting reticle is lowered a bit in 3rd person view, then it would almost point to the characters head all the time. You couldn't aim the enemy well, because your head could be blocking the view!

Reticle is well placed in 3rd person mode IMO. Just use 1st person when you shoot arrows. Also, eventually you will learn how high to aim in 3rd person mode too (after shooting several hundred arrows). Practice makes perfect.

点击展开...

It would point to the character's head? Oh, man! How did we ever play M&B before .800 came out?
Seriously, the reticle never pointed at the player's head, it was above.

"Practice makes perfect". No, developers and beta testers make a perfect game with no ****ing bugs in it.

Anyway, I could ***** all day long, and it would not make the game better. Does anyone know what language the game is written in? What engine? What files do I need to decompile? I took a look around and was thoroughly confused, I did not see any kinds of classes / methods / functions / procedures / whatever related to what I'm trying to do here.

Thank you.

WilliamBerne 说:

i don't think this is a bug.
i like this real 3d aiming thing.

点击展开...

If it is not a bug, what is it? A feature? The fact that you cannot aim properly in the third person is not a bug?

I liked version .751 much better in that aspect, back then you could hit your targets, and it did not have this "feature".

rageshrub 说:

i think the problem is the in 3rd person the reticule is not adjusted and so arrows are actually heading a bit kiwer the reticule itself in 3rd person

点击展开...

Yes, that is about right.

Awesomness! Congratulations you guys! You'll do a good job, I think.



... So, uh, Ingolifs will not be admin? That's good.
I mean, bad, of course.
Something.

Thanks for all the fast bugfixes, Armagan, awesome!

Yeah, I thought something was wrong with animations. Too fast, too jerky.

Fixed issue:
When I first tried the new version, I saw that all those shiny water shaders disappeared and were replaced by that "flowing carpet" from .751 (the way the water looked like back then). I tried reinstalling with no effect. I ended up deleting the M&B folder entirely and that fixed the problem on next install. Apparently, because I had .751 still installed on my computer, .89x installed itself over it and used the old water effects. Anyway, problem solved, in case someone got the same thing.


NOT a fixed issue:
The archery/throwing targeting reticle in third person is about one foot higher than where it should be. In first person, however, it is perfectly fine. It's easy enough to see for yourself: aim an arrow or a bolt at that trainer guy in Zendar with his stupid ponytail (or the slave trader punk or someone), aim in third person carefully at the head and...  he will get an accurate hit in the chest.
Didn't I already have a picture of it somewheres?

The archery/crossbow/throwing targeting reticle in 800, 801 and 802 while using third-person mode is not working; the game uses the one from first-person mode instead. Here are some pictures. I start off by aiming at something in 1st person:

Then, WITHOUT moving the mouse, I switch to third-person:

Now I am suddenly aiming higher than the middle. To demonstrate it even further, I press the ~ (tilde) to rotate the camera around.

I am still aiming at the center, just like in the 1st person view. It shouldn't be hard to fix I think. But right now it's a little annoying.

I know, I know, it's from 802, but it's still there.

BTW: does anyone know how to quote a post from another thread?
