The Dolphin Diving Fix.....

[snakedude24]

Any idea how long the delay will be?

I was thinking one second is way too long in a firefight, maybe a half second would work.

Would love to get dev feedback.

If anyone has a random suggestion for DD penalties, please post 'em.

Once again, thanks Tripwire - and I think as a community we all wuv you and give you a big big hug.

Another reason you guys keep me playing Red Orchestra - you actually give a sh1t about your customers.

I'm going to go get my last kicks watching people dolphin dive

There is no delay. You can go to ironsights as soon as you land, rather than going to ironsights in the air.

 

[snakedude24]

Alright, sweet! Sounds very fair, and thank you for the quick response.

 

[Mr._Kong]

I will miss it...

 

[Jhaxavier]

it's gonna be fixed?! Thank God!

Huzzahs for Tripwire! You guys are the best!

 

[Zell]

Toss the player and make a dolphin sound... that's brilliant.

Let's just wait 'till we actually see it fixed before we start jumping up and down. The problem was never going to ironsights in the air, it was that the ironsights came up immediately when someone hit the ground.

The problem was that you could start the iron sight animation while in the air, that had just the right timing so that the instant you hit the ground you would already have iron sights completely up and could shoot.

Now, when you are diving you will not be able to start 'brining up iron sights' animation until you have finished the 'diving' animation. You were basically doing two animations at once, and now you can't.

i would just prefer to see an animation of the gun being jolted as you hit the ground and then a quick recovery, instead of only being able to bring the irons up after ye land..

no.

Dive off of a tower.

The Animation comes up while you fall.

In most cases people diving arn't jumping off something high enough that lets them bring up the sights. Although I have seen someone jump off a small cliff and kill me with his iron sights as he impersonated superman, but jumping from the tower is suicide!

What I am saying is that it's not the iron sights being called up after landing, that is fine, it's iron sights being call up while in the air.

THAT is the "dolphin diving"

Hey now.... Im just happy its not as bad as BF2 man... where you could dive and shoot in mid air.... unlike diving in RO brining up sights in air.... and not being able to shoot until you hit the ground is fine as is for me..... doesnt bother me one bit....


what would be cool though... would be if you IS in mid air and you hit the ground.... your gun and arms should bend down to the ground and then come up..... there should be some motion there....

zero

There is no delay. You can go to ironsights as soon as you land, rather than going to ironsights in the air.

If you consider that you just had to balance your landing and the rifle is in less convinient position compared to standing, the IS should be a litlle bit slower to be realistic.

 

[Heler]

Anyone here with a rifle would find this hilarious.

Just try diving unto pavement, unevenground, rubble, what have ya, and try getting an accurate shot the instant you hit the ground.

:/

0 after hitting the ground but it will be nice to have a BIG sway wich is stabilizing in ~ 1 sec.

I've got an idea, how about everyone stop speculating and actually TRY the new functionality before griping about it I know its a novel concept ...

 

[Floyd]

Gee, Ramm.
You party pooper.
Thats no fun
