SH5 information friday

THE_MASK · 09-04-09, 09:28 PM

Microsoft has a patch every second tuesday of the month where they release patches on that day . I think we need a SH5 devs day for the devs to release information to the community as well . Lets say every second and fourth friday of the month .

I prefer the dev's ( I only say that because I can't remember their names right off the top of my head) little snippets they provide every now and then.
I feel like a crack addict thats only getting little bits at a time, then I shall overdose when I get a copy

They care, But the real queston here is Why don't you play something else in the meantime and give it and them alittle time so they can finnish the game.

I'm trying really hard to get back into SH4, but it just makes me think about 5 more.

hello Maerean_m,

you are in the devs team right ? i have a question for you (sorry ,becuase the question is out of topic)

is it possible to have a ruler that will show ALWAYS the EXACT distance as long we extend the ruler line? like the one that is inside the MissionEditor ( the ruler is very tricky as it is ...meaning that when it shows 0.3m is in fact 0.25 m ---why ?)
and also....can we have in-game the tool that watch officer had to get the distance ? (insteed of 'asking' him to get the distance with his 'eagle' eye ? )

thank you

That was a design decision. Not even the map I use nowadays, when I'm driving, is that accurate, so you can imagine how it was back then. I believe you really couldn't do a measurement that was that precise.

Also, do consider that you move the mouse a pixel at a time and that at any zoom level, the error is at least as big the pixel's size in meters.

But I'll pass your question to the design team.

i think that the navigator officer was plotting on his maps and if he wanted to draw a line ,for example , 1380m ....sure he could do that . (i can do it on paper...why not he also ? )
also it would be really nice to have this tool that watch officer had !
anyway , thank you for listening .... really apreciated

True, I wouldn't like to plot to the meter, but what Makman is saying is that even if the values are rounded, they should be rounded down, not up and down. If you round up to the first decimal, 0.1 should show mean 0.1 to 0.19999, not 0.05 to 0.149999...
I remember playing a game (not sure which) that made a small ruller appear as you drew a line. The ruler would become more and more visible and you'd read the length of the line on the ruler as you would normaly do in real life (no magic numbers on the cursor). Using real rulers and having to take the map scale into account would surely be nice for realism nuts. I'd better stop here because the navigation issues always tend to raise spirits

I'll post my tool thoughts on the proper thread.
