0 AceOfSpades Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Same here. Nose dive and then it explodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tigger Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 It seems the issue is with the "fake ground". I don't know if the init files that come with the c185 pbos are in Epochs repository. (In fact I do not understand how the c185 is added at all- the only mention of gnt_c185 is in SQF/dayz_code/config.cpp: requiredAddons[] = {"dayz_equip","dayz_weapons","dayz_sfx","CAMisc3","CABuildingParts","CABuildingParts_Signs","CAStructuresHouse","CAStructuresLand_Ind_Stack_Big","CAStructures_Misc_Powerlines","CAStructures","CABuildings","CABuildings2","Ind_MalyKomin","CAStructures_A_CraneCon","CAStructures_Mil","CAStructures_Nav","CAStructures_Rail","A_Crane_02","A_TVTower","CAStructures_Railway","CAStructuresHouse","CAStructuresHouse_HouseBT","asc_eu_lights","vilas_pl_cars","gnt_c185"}; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tigger Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 The reason why this can work is the C185FInit.sqf which calls C185posFloat.sqf, which creates a "fake" ground a bit underwater on which the floats slide. It is not clear to me if and how I can include these in the dayz_mission... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tigger Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 So, essentially- I would need to modify the gnt_c185.pbo to comment out the part where the fake ground is not created if it is a multiplayer game. But that would mean I need to upload the new bikey somehow to dayz.st and they won't let me do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tigger Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 No insight? I tried to make a "patch" pbo that would run the script that makes the fake floor anyway, but it doesn't seem to work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Aristoi Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I would love to have sea planes, so best of luck with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tigger Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 No luck so far. Even when I replace the client pbos with "fixed" versions, it still nose-dives immediately. Does it matter that the server pbo is not replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BetterDeadThanZed Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 vbawol recommended removing these sea planes from Epoch due to them causing lag issues on the server. See the 1.0.4 rolling change log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tigger Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 We have no issues with lag when they are spawned in, they just don't work. I saw that before and I found it a litle strange since I don't know of any server where the floatplane works. (Although it might be mostly about the h13, which possibly does..)
