Talk:Glacier/GlacialHawk

Congrats! Isn't bad for first run, is it? You make me laugh out loud when I saw your gun debugging graphics. Not open sourced this time, eh? » Nat | Talk » 13:26, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. It's indeed not bad, and might be able surpass Shadow's gun with some good bulletpower tuning alone I suspect. What's so funny about the debugging graphics? It's just a radial graph of how attractive angles look for targeting :). GlacialHawk isn't open source right now, as I don't want to give away my top-secret melee-targeting-dimensions just yet, but it'll probably be open source when I'm ready to make the full release of Glacier. --Rednaxela 13:32, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Really nice work! I've had a bunch of ideas for melee-specific targeting attributes, as well, but only implemented (and usually reverted) a handful of them. I'll be curious to find out some day how yours compare. Also, my ego demands I point out that DiamondHawk 1.0 was still targeting specific opponents (pre-Shadow/Melee Gun), and I've gained at least another 1% APS in Diamond via gun improvements since then. =) When can we expect Glacier? --Voidious 13:44, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I'll give one hint about my melee-specific targeting attributes for now: It's designed specifically for making PIF accurate against the common anti-grav/min-risk bots. Glacier can be expected... after I do a few iterations of GlacialHawk to tweak the bulletpower and other issues on my mind, and then have time experiment with the movement just a little more. My estimate is... 1 to 3 weeks. :) --Rednaxela 14:14, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
