[MOD] highway_altcontrol v1.04[2013-12-05] - variant tscwol

Jokin · Post by **Jokin** » Thu, 28. Nov 13, 03:38

Greetings,

highway_altcontrol (v1.04)[2013-12-05]:
An alternative control inside the highways and superhighways.

The control is no longer based on jumping lanes in lane. Now you can move freely in the X and Y axis.
You can accelerate and decelerate with controls.
Although you can control the speed, the maximum speed can reach only the closer you are to the center of the highway. I mean, just attain the maximum speed you have the throttle at 100% and you are in the middle.
If chases with the inner wall of the highway you will slow until you take off. As you enter through the side, drops you right on the edge and if you stay there too long you made out again, because you are slowing down.
Also you can leave the highway completely braking or using WASD keys.

Variants
highway_altcontrol_tsc (v1.02)[2013-12-05]:
(total speed control)
Full control over speed, necesari no longer be in the center for maximum speed.
Maximum speed 80%. To reach 100% speed you have to use the boost.
The duration of the boost is twice in highways and superhighways.
highway_altcontrol_nim (v1.02)[2013-12-05]:
(no inertial movement)
No longer has control inertial movement in the X and Y axis. More accurate.
highway_altcontrol_tscnim (v1.02)[2013-12-05]: The version 1.01 doesn't work but the version 1.02 yes.
(total speed control and no inertial movement)
Mix highway_altcontrol_tsc and highway_altcontrol_nim.
highway_altcontrol_tscnimewb (v1.01)[2013-12-05]:
(total speed control, no inertial movement and exit without braking)
The same as highway_altcontrol_tscnim but without the need for braking to exit.

Update 2013-12-05:
Now with 1 more variant
highway_altcontrol_tscwol (v1.00)[2013-12-04]:
(total speed control and with original lanes)
The lanes are back, but now you can control the speed like highway_altcontrol_tsc.

Updated versions:
Exit with WASD keys. -> (1.04), (nim 1.02), (tsc 1.02), (tscnim 1.02), (tscnimewb 1.01)

Hmm, good effort at doing something new with the highway controls.

Unfortunately for me, it's even more "mini-game'ish" than the original highway mini-games what with trying to keep my ship in the center lane to avoid it being thrown out of the highways altogether.

That's not to say that there won't be people that love this alternate, I'm sure there will be many that do enjoy this alternate method of using the highways.

Thanks

Jokin i really like what u did there.

Already downloaded and implemented it

Is it possible to:

add a second version where ":

As you enter through the side, drops you right on the edge and if you stay there too long you made out again, because you are slowing down.

", won´t happen.

Cause i often do my trades or setting new shipcommands during my time in a highway.
And if i have the menu open i can´t use the controls an will drop out.

Lets say if the controls are not used for time "x" your ship will be sent to a corner of the highway and keep there until you use them again.

would be perfect in my chase^^

exept this prob; works like a cham
+1

as far as i understand it, when you enter you're set on the edge lanes, and edge lanes are decelarating lanes
the only thing you have to do is to get to the middle lane
is it not ?

@kuplo
Try the variant "tsc" or "tscnim".

@)(\-FI3ING-HIR5CH-/)(
It's not just what you want but try the variant "nim" or "tscnim".

@seedee
I think the problem )(\-FI3ING-HIR5CH-/)( is that inertia makes it difficult to stay in the same position if you are not controlling the ship. So I made the variant "nim".

Thank you for the variants, I really enjoy the tscnim variant, it is very much to my liking.

The only thing I seem to need to remember is that I can't break out of the highways just by steering out of them but must reduce my throttle to get out, if I could just steer out of the yellow highways without reducing throttle this would be the perfect local highways for me.

This is how I thought the highways would originally function a couple years back when they were first mentioned - I like it.

Pulling it down.

I'm using the tscnimewb mod and I think it may have ruined my game

How do you ENTER a highway? I get to the highway tube and try and go in and it immediately bounces me out. I've tried going full speed at a perpendicular angle and it just shoots me right through the highway.

If I remove the mod my savegame won't load anymore

any help on getting IN a highway?

Sorry,

Please, make a list of all the mods you are using.

What kind of controllers uses? pad, mouse, keyboar, joystick, pedals...

If you enter through the gate highways. What happens?

edit:

If you want to remove a mod from a savegame:
1 - Go: C:\Users\[you]\Documents\Egosoft\X Rebirth\[numbers]\save
2 - Open the savegame with the notepad (backup first).
3 - Looking at the first lines this line: <patch extension="jbv01d" version="100" name="highway_altcontrol_tscnimewb"/>
4 - Delete the entire line and save de file.

Well, tscnim variant was broken. I did not realize. Now it works.

Take this opportunity to add a new variant that had requested me in Nexus.
tscwol: The return of the lanes but can control the speed as in tsc.

In addition I have also added the function exit the highway with WASD (or equivalent) to all variants (minus tscwol). Not perfect but it works well.

edit:
I also fixed a small problem with escape angles.
This time it is true that the duration of the boost is twice in tscnimewb.
