Wire Directional Radios!

[philxyz]

It's something to do with the time taken to execute the code. I know what you mean and I experienced it myself but looking through the code I didn't find anything too obvious... however, it's good enough for me now, and I'm beginning to switch to other projects. I'll make sure the advanced dupe bug is fixed in the next few days so I can move on to SeriousRP for now.

Thanks for letting me know about that issue tuusita, but I think I probably won't fix it (at least not at the moment) because it means I have to recode a lot of things and I'm not sure how else to do it (I pretty much followed my design when implementing it)

The radios are designed to interfere with each other and fire can also interfere with a receiver.

Ah, ok. Good to know, thanks.

Found a bug, though I didn't read the whole post to see if someone else posted it. I was in the Spacebuild 2 gamemode, with the latest SVN on LS2, WM, WME, etc. I spawned an orbital dish transmitter an attached that to an aiming turret. From there, I spawned a large omni and two small omnis. It was all well and good until I spawned the fourth antenna. No matter where I spawned it, once it had the signal, it would not let go of it no matter where the antenna was aimed. The other antennas would not pick up the signal again until the fourth had been deleted. Other than that though, it's been smooth sailing. Thanks for making such an awesome mod!

Ah, good description!

Maybe someone can duplicate the results, I'll put this in the Bug Hunting section in the Original Post.

I re-adjusted the OP so the new usage directions (!) are BEFORE the bug reports :lol:
Also added a Bug I found.

Yes, please do list bugs. These are on my definite to-do list but do not have priority status until a few days time once I've sorted some documents out that I have to deal with now.

Please note that while radiosystems is in the SVN, it was not my decision to put it there and as such I'd appreciate if people could wait until I've finished working on it before they add their code contibutions.

My ultimate plan is to fix these bugs and move it into wire svn (if possible) along with my wire detcord (also in svn extras and has one tiny tiny bug which I also plan to fix).


Most of the radiosystems bugs people are looking at right now appear to be due to processing time rather than code and could be difficult, if not impossible to fix.

I'm I right to understand that your equations are too dependant on execution time? Interesting... *eyebrow*

[philxyz]

they are not supposed to be but until i have a moment to look at the code, i'm not 100pcnt sure.

sorry for no capitals, i have vmware running and it has stolen my shift keys for some reason.

I have got this working good now I've just built my first ComSat (Communications satellite)

[philxyz]

Now you need a set of orbiting satellites xD
