Alternative Tanks Profiles

[fu]

Recently some guys - namely (CA)Koby and SKAcz - have started testing alternative tanks profiles (netpanzer/units/profiles) in gameservers.

This stuff has been probably underrated in the past since most of the FUN comes from here.

Though it's believed that changes occur only in server, I realized that some of these settings have to be the SAME in BOTH client and server to work correctly - expecially the 'speed' entries. That's why I decided to open this thread to allow players to post, share and download alternative "profiles" folders.

Since offering these files for download may end up in a great confusion for unexperienced users, and with the aim to provide players with the SAME files used in the gameservers they're playing (I clearly remember the mess with flag packages), I recommend to adopt a new TAG (numeric) to identify a given 'tanks profiles' folder.

They could be named (p01), (p02), (p03) etc   and advertised in gameserver like this e.g E.U.R.O.P.A (p02) so everybody will know what's running... and use the same 'tanks profiles' in his client.

And since netpanzer 0.8.3 does not install in your system but it's just a folder, it would be no problem to duplicate it and having several netpanzer folders with a different 'units/profiles' in each one.

If you post your alternative folders in this thread, I then promise to put them in website download section.

I provide now in attachment (to SKAcz, when posting check 'Additional options') the first two:

p01 by Koby

p02 by SKAcz (taken from http://strateg.ic.cz/Netpanzer/index.html - sound names corrected)

You guys feel free to update these files or post new ones.

The reason of all this? To select the best alternative tanks profiles and include them in a future release as 'presets' to choose from when starting a gameserver.


 EDIT : New Download Section on website:

Yeah when will be other version I give sure know, for now i think my pack called HK10WeaponsV1 should be done, and need some testing :)  PS. I found that in profiles is also unit called scout its something old ? Also I have question what exactly is defend range ?
Btw. as I wrote on my web (thx for explaining how to attach into forum, i will do next time.) its correct than clients work properly same way like server but info about parameters see bad true ? (I think I did test it just to be 100% I ask.)
And one more thing, I did modify not only parameters but in profiles are also names of wav files (I used my own for reporting units to know which is which, so be aware : or we have to use standard wavs there (easy can be rewrited back for example
SOUNDSELECTED "archer-selected"   back to SOUNDSELECTED "mu-selected") or copy sounds also).

I've corrected sound names (back to standard). Try keep standard names if you post it here.

Development of netpanzer is a complicated story: many developers during years - a messy code and lack of documentation. No surprise some aspects still are undocumented.

Ok I will next time post with original sounds.
But best way for future sounds should be to use for every unit separate wav.
 In finale here can be same wav for more units, but copied moretimes same as different name of file. So if 3 units will share same sound it can be , but in profile of drake will be written drake-selected, of panther panther-selected, of titan-selected what means
  drake-selected_ao.wav,drake-selected_raw.wav,drake-selected_rep.wav, panther-selected_ao.wav,panther-selected_raw.wav,panther-selected_rep.wav,titan-selected_ao.wav,titan-selected_raw.wav,titan-selected_rep.wav
 and now if somebody wish use same sound for all this 3 units, feel free just copy ht-selected_ao.wav,ht-selected_raw.wav,ht-selected_rep.wav  3x and name it as 9 files decsribed above.
 Because then everybody can keep on lokal his favourite sounds for units and it open space for language and other modifications also.
 and it will works with every profile. With one which use same sound for more units and with such which use most various sounds.
One my friend told me that would like have czech sounds another that would like have package with shooting sounds less loud than units report, to easy recognize which units clicking on.
