« on: August 09, 2017, 11:30:08 am »
Drones in harbor role-play i was looking through the workshop and found this drone what i think will be nice for harbor. ill put a link to them under this.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=429126576

 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=669642096

the top link adds simple drones and the other link adds more drones command stations and improvements that can be added to them.

basic controls.

 Controls
E - enter/out drone;
W S - forward and back;
A D - turn left and right;
Space - up;
Ctrl - down;
TAB - third person;
Mouse 1 - fill your foes with lead
Zoom Key (def T) - zoom or night-vision

i try to answer any questions here

Q: How to add AI to a drone?
A: Go to Entities tab and find there drone upgrades, spawn any and touch the drone with it

Q: How can i go to a Thirdperson mode?
A: "I" Key

Q: How can i use more weapons that installed on my drone?
A: To change weapons on the drone you currently controlling you need to scroll your mouse wheel to
select a weapon and then press LMB to apply that weapon

Q: How do i make it so the drones don't attack each other/My friends?
A: Add your drones to friend settings in Options->Drones Settings->AI->Show Friends Setting.
By default all the drones you spawned are considered as enemy

Q: How to use winch/refueller/pick up things with Cargo Drone?
A: You need to hover RIGHT ABOVE your prop/entity/drone you want to pick up.
I suggest using Thirdperson mode ('I' key). Also, you can't pick up or refuel a drone from a mile distance

Q: How can i give ammo to drones?
A: Go to Entities->Drones Rewrite Ammo and spawn ammo that you needed. After that place your ammo
box on top of your drone

Q: I can't use drones, my screen goes black when i try to control them. What can i do?
A: You should check your addons, especially if you have >20 of them.
There are plenty of confilcting ones that can break the render of drone screen.

Q: I cant fly far away from myself. What can i do?
A: Use "Controller" or "Control station", you can find them in Drones Rewrite Tools
Also you can just add module Signal booster or check "No signal" option in Q->Options->Drones Rewrite->Server

Q: How to undeploy Ball Turret?
A: You can't undeploy it, because it is one use drone.

Q: How to refuel drone?
A: Go to Q->Entities->Drones Rewrite Tools and spawn an entity called "Gas Station"
Grab pump and put it on the drone. After drone's refueling move drone away
Also you can refuel other drones with GPRO Assistant Drone

Q: How to change keyboard settings?
A: Go to Q->Options->Drones Rewrite->Keys

Q: How can i make drones fight rebels/cleiners etc...
A: Currently that is not possible. We will add this feature in the next updates

Q: When I am trying to get drone's controls it says "[Drones] You can't drive this drone!"
A: It means that drone is destroyed or you're not the owner of that drone or drone has AI installed
Repair the drone or hack it if you're not owner or remove all AI modules

Q: Meloons?
A: SWIIIBORG!!!!



Why Drones Rewrite is better than Drones 1 and Drones 2 both?
In Drones Rewrite there are
Balanced damage
Balanced flying system
Huge list of weapons
Huge list of drones
A lot of options to customize your drones
Nice key binding system
Console with 40+ commands
Nice controller
No annoying fuel (Drones are fueled after spawning)
AI
Walker drones, submarines, big ship drone, spiders, nukes, etc
Help window
Nice Gift Box

Controlling
There are 4 ways to control drones:
You press use key (E) while looking at drone and
standing afront of it
You spawn Controller
(Q->Entities->Drones Rewrite Tools->Controller)
and press use key (E) on this and after
the menu has been approached you type
drone's ID and press Control *****
You spawn Console and use it's commands
For example:
> printlist
-- Found drones --
ARTL213
G211
> select G211
Selected G211
> control -sel
You take Remote Controller weapon
(Q->Weapons->Drones Rewrite Tools
->Remote Controller) and press right mouse button
until you find any drone. Also you can look at
the drone you want to control and press right
mouse button, remote controller will take
it's controls, but there is a limit of distance
that is 8000 units that allows you to get controls
just by looking at the drone.
Also you can control drone's keys by clicking
Reload key (Default: R)

Hacking
When you type hack DRONE in console it will give you a lot of symbols and words which length is depending on hacking difficulty. You need to choose one of these words, just type it carefully. You have 4 attempts, if you fail you'll need to wait some time to try again. If you chose incorrect word console will say you how much letters are right. For example: word BREED, password TRIED. There will be 3 correct letters: R, E and D. Remember that DIERT will give you 0 correct letters although it has every letter from TRIED. All letters must be on their places.

For more info you can google "Fallout hacking guide" or something like that, our hacking system is ALMOST the same. Credit for it goes to Bethesda Soft works and Obsidian Entertainment.

Known bugs
When in multiplayer you fly on drone far from yourself almost all sounds disappear. This is because of Source and we probably cant fix that.
When you are controlling drone from an isolated place like admin room all effects and other stuff can disappear. That is also because of Source.
AI is kinda stupid
