if (Speed X 5) > DistanceToTarget then ShowProxSignal
basically have it do all the math for you, and then show a little indicator that your good to go.
still dont think its the best thing, but i understand why it could be very useful to you.
Nice thought. I considered such a thing. However, due tot he variable speeds, and heading configurations, it seems to be better that I have a hard number to work with, and reference to.
Thanks By The way

Unfortunately for who claims cheating, this mod received green light from the Enforcement Zone and Developement Zone - or at least so I was told.
Jay, great work on that. Can't wait to use it. ;-)

i will release a version of mine with this in.
mind if i change the label "speed x5" to "drop distance"
hmm, i may be able to make a little patcher program (slightly more risky since i don't know what kind of changes cortui does)
perhaps a rainy day activity when on holiday if i don't get time to do it when at home tonight + tomorrow.

yeah, I tried that, I have more like a 40-50% hit rate doing that. probably my reflexes or something

Hmmm, I intentionally left it speed x 5 because teh entire concept is something that needs to be learned. Drop distance gives the newbie an unfair advantage, without really knowing what the hell he is doing.
However, if you are going to just do this for yourself, by all means go for it. I am just concerned that it screws trhe learning curve up.Last edited by jaybird39 on Thu Jun 14, 2007 1:20 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Well I disagree strongly with their green light. This takes out a large skill component of the game and imo is cheating. It's a small mod, but where do you honestly draw the line? Next thing you know it will be an aimbot, "but it only helps those who can't aim? So being weedman is also cheating?" You can use the same dumbass arguements to counter the nay sayers in that scenario as well, because it's the same thing - an exploit.
Now I will go complain to my senator, oh wait I have no voice anymore. Yay.
if it calculated your own speed, took direction into account, and then flashed and blinked: DROP DROP DROP, yeah, it would be cheating.
this way - it's so basic that i don't understand WTF is all the fuss about. it's much smaller change than fixing mini3 so that they don't blind you when you fire them...

I really don't see what the hooplah is all about.
Now if this thing called Aleph drops on bombers, THAT would be cheating. Instead jay's tool is just that, a tool. And like any tool, it can be of use if used properly, but if you aren't careful, you're likely to smash the hell out of your own thumb.
