Hellfire SPMA Cannon

[HellDragon-HK]

• SOUND RELATED

  • [ ] Incoming scream seems to be always heard if close to camera shell in UT3 even if it's a very short distance from Hellfire position (I can see my name above the SPMA in the distance), I'm not hearing the scream in UT2004 unless the shot is distant
  • [ ] Letting the camera shell impact instead of deploying it in UT2004 doesn't appear to have sound, in UT3 it can clearly be heard exploding
  • [ ] Main cannon fire explosion (ground impact) sounds slightly different between 2 games
  • [X] ~Main cannon firing sound for distant shots is not UT3...might should be left as is as UT3 doesn't really change to sound like it's in the distance (note this driving aspect only and I think the distant fire sound can be heard in UT3 when bots are firing from a distance).....UT3 has the exact same sound file but uses it differently maybe? Doesn't matter I guess~
  • [X] UT3 has slightly different and more subtle cannon turning sound than UT2004 currently has

• VISUAL EFFECTS RELATED

  • [ ] Camera size has been made smaller but the explosion visual is still large
  • [X] The camera shell is HUGE on UT2004 but on UT3 is actually fairly small by the look of it, on UT3 looks about the size of someone's head, on 2004 looks like the size of someone's chest

Multiple sets of death messages in UT3 for different phases of artillery, only 1 in UT2004 apparently

[UTDmgType_SPMACameraCrush] DeathString="o was crushed whenk's camera fell from the sky!" MaleSuicide="The sky is falling... on YOU!" FemaleSuicide="The sky is falling... on YOU!"

[UTDmgType_SPMAShell] DeathString="o was crushed whenk's Hellfire scored a direct hit!" MaleSuicide="o was killed by an artillery strike." FemaleSuicide="o was killed by an artillery strike."

[UTDmgType_SPMASmallShell] DeathString="k rained ono's parade." MaleSuicide="o was killed by an artillery strike." FemaleSuicide="o was killed by an artillery strike."

EDIT - UT2004 OnslaughtBP.int overrides the message in the DamType code

In the DamTypeArtilleryShell DeathString="%k rained on %o's parade." MaleSuicide="%o was killed by an artillery strike." FemaleSuicide="%o was killed by an artillery strike."

In the OnslaughtBP.int [DamTypeArtilleryShell] DeathString="%k rained on %o's parade." FemaleSuicide="%o managed to kill herself with her own Artillery." MaleSuicide="%o managed to kill himself with his own Artillery."

I don't really get the very first point, can you elaborate on it?

As for the DamageType messages, that means that the camera needs to use its own DamageType.

If you mean the sound, the scream always occurs if the shot lands near the camera shell no matter the distance, in UT2004 the scream only occurs if it's a distant shot.....I don't know SPMA has enough issues right now to worry about, it works well enough for the moment

Yea, just wanted that point to be clarified, now I get what you meant there.
