DEEP

[legacy-Jaspos]

Hey peeps....
I'm pretty desperate to get some help to get the flight model set up to use when designing and testing levels for DEEP.
The basic requirements would be a trigger ( enter the craft ) that would enable the player to enter a flight mode which would resemble helicopter flight . The player would also need to ' exit ' flight mode to return to walk mode . The design would see the setup allow for adding custom crafts and HUD's , so could be a stand alone mod if you don't want to be tied to any particular game mod ie. could work outside of DEEP ( if that's what you would prefer...I would prefer not ...)
The design is still open enough to modify if you would like to contribute ideas .
I'm hoping for someone who would like to join the DEEP team , but would be extremely happy to get the basics working at all , so I can continue developing the game with at least some flight model working .

Please help , even with suggestions on where I should look first if I need to venture into the coders domain...( shudder )...

If your vehicle uses Karma, you should take a look at the KVehicle class and its children. If not, You can change the Physics of your ship and play around with that. Thats a start, as I know how hard is to get a coder nowadays

So then.
The journey continues...

Thanks for the tip.
Looks like I have to jump in the DEEP end then...
I still welcome partners in my project, but I guess it's time to get personal with uscript. Wish me luck !

So little time ... with limited brain matter ...

PS. I'd like to get hold of the UnrealScript.chl file to use with the Context editor as seen in the VTM videos, if anyone can point the way. I didn't see them at the Context site.

So I started looking into Uscript, and happened across the jetpack mutator from http://mep.beyondunreal.com/ .
This little gem is perfect as a base for the flight model I'm wanting to achieve, so I've modified it as best I can to better suit DEEP (altered thrust values and replaced the redeemer staticmesh with a placeholder cockpit), and can now return to focus on the level/gamedesign and asset creation for the demo level.
I still need help to modify the jetpack code. It would take me ages to learn Uscript and I just can't afford the time on something I know someone with experience could do relatively quickly.

I'm on my beggin' knee....
Please take a look at the jetpack code...
I need these functions created/modified.

Variable thrust control.
The ability to detach/attach ( drop/pickup ) the jetpack, to allow walk mode without the attached inventory.
Hover mode.
