Topic: New D3 Anarchy Level: -Dronsky-

[(LL)Atan]

-Dronsky-
a brand new 4 player D3 Anarchy DogFight level.
Dronsky contains a minimal weapon layout with some very little modifications in blue laser and rocket speed.
This makes that new level a little more fun, it's a little D1 like so I hope.
Blue laser, concussions, frags, one smart and few mortars are inserted.
You like pure dogfights without all that mighty weapons inside? So give that little level a chance.
You'll find it running at descentforum server soon.

Hmm... I certainly will have to look for that!

"Modifcation" as in slowing down? 

[(LL)Atan]

The speed of the rockets and laser is increased. Ship is PyroGL only.
We saw nothing go slow down during our fights. We played with 4 players several times and nothing bad happened.
So I can't get your meaning, did you run into serious trouble during the fight?
Maybe some online problems as usual, who knows, but I didn't recognized them today.

Had a chance to jump in last night... Looks good!  Small level, means you don't have to go looking all over the level trying to find your opponent.  With few people online, levels like this one are a good choice.

No no, I posted that before I playing it. Lasers and rockets in D1/2 move slower, so I figured "like Descent" meant slowing them down. I see now that they are sped up, and I quite like the effect.

Matthew,
as I was playing D1, later D2 and then switched to D3 I had a 'feeling' that these D3 weapons are less speedy than inside the former versions.
You may right, possible they are really faster as D1/D2. So where comes my 'feeling' from?
Seems that this is related due the dimensions of D3 rooms/areas.
Every time I shoot a laser or missile inside a 'standard' D3 mission, it's (for me only?) that I have to wait a week until the weapon impacts.
Useless to say that my opponent is far far away the point I thought to hit him.
That's why I increased the speed to own my 'old D1' feeling again. Weapons are fast enough inside this level so they really may hit now.
I thought that this would be an 'goodie' for the players and gameplay. The speed fits to that level now, so I believe. I did a similar job inside my level Blown Starship.

As for the Dronsky level, there is one thing to know about:
If you don't have installed Mercenary your D3 will possible crash if you leave the game. This is because the mission gam contains an BP Entry.
It's a known D3 fault (1.4) that this will happen and not a mission problem. Thx for attention.

Ah Blowns tarship was yours too. I liked the weapon mods there, too.
