Ripping code ...

Zico,

#define LIMIT_HOMERS	1
#define HOMER_MAX_FPS	30
#define HOMER_MIN_DELAY (1000 / HOMER_MAX_FPS)

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//	Set object *objp's orientation to (or towards if I'm ambitious) its velocity.
void homing_missile_turn_towards_velocity(object *objp, vms_vector *norm_vel)
{
	vms_vector	new_fvec;

#ifdef LIMIT_HOMERS
	static time_t   last_time = -1;
	static int nFrames = 1;
	time_t this_time, delta_time;
	fix frame_time;
	int fps;
	if (last_time == -1) {
		last_time = clock ();
		frame_time = FrameTime;
	} else {
		nFrames++;
		this_time = clock ();
		delta_time = this_time - last_time;
		if (delta_time < HOMER_MIN_DELAY) {
			return;
		} else {
			fps = (1000 + delta_time / 2) / delta_time;
			frame_time = fps ? (f1_0 + fps / 2) / fps : f1_0;
			//                     frame_time /= nFrames;
			nFrames = 0;
			last_time = this_time;
		}
	}
#else
	fix frame_time = FrameTime;
#endif

Sure, D2X-XL is GPL, but if you rip code from D2X-XL, you still ought to have at least the decency to give due credit to the author.

I wonder how much other stuff you took from D2X-XL w/o dropping a single word about it.

Shouldn't this be taken to PMs?

I believe this has already been addressed elsewhere.

oh come on.

Posting here was unnecessary if it's already been addressed on the DXX forum.

If you have a real beef, bring in a couple of others to moderate a discourse.

thanks Bakdraft.

If you look at the post dates, you will notice that I posted on dxx-rebirth after having posted here, because it had come to my mind that that would be a better place. You can delete my post(s) here if you want to.

why are you complaining about zico using code that came from the original D2x, and claiming it as your own?

Diedel · Post by **Diedel** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 1:59 pm

It doesn't come from the original D2X, It is definitely my code; but it can be that it stems from a time when I was still contributing to the main D2X project. If that is so, zico couldn't know that. I also wouldn't complain about someone using my code, I'd only complain if I wouldn't be given due credit for it.

Why waste code space with comments, eh?

How the heck did you know ... ?

That code limits homing missile turn rate handling to 30 fps.

Whoops, you missed it, I was joking on \"given due credit for it.\" (I can read code as fast as you.)

I don't think I missed it. I was joking back. My half sentence finishes "... about my ugly commenting habits?"

(A feeble attempt of making fun of myself ...

)

Tsk. You guys here just never understand me ...

Heres a novel idea: If you have a dispute with someone, save it for PM or IM. We don't care about your little melodrama.

By the way, if you're going to accuse someone of stealing something, atleast get it right.

I was under the impression the new turn rate is 40 fps, not 30 fps. However, I'm fine with 60 FPS. I have a bigger problem with fact that the homing missiles in D2 don't lock onto the target in the reticle and instead home in on the targets using some other protocol. IN anarchy I believe it's the first target in the players list instead of the one in your reticle, for robots I think it's something similar, not necessarily the closest robot and rarely the one you're trying to target.

It was always so that the missile does not necessarily target the object closest to your reticle.

No problem about crossposting, copy/paste is easy:

a) this code comes from D2X: http://cvs.icculus.org/cvs/d2x/main/las ... 10&r2=1.11

b) however it's not working correctly/ is broken so do not have any fear it'll be removed soon.

c) the license of your engine is NOT GPL and DOES allow you to keep the source for yourself

d) if you want to spread up such things, please do it private

e) closed
