Im having the same kinda problems with a similar vehicle and the same weapon actually, all this scripting and such is far beyond me... .... Is there any chance that I could send the .pbo and stuff to someone and they could work it out for me? it would help me a great deal....

[Sa8Gecko]

Fugitive:
Let's see:
- Hater_Kint is still helping FischKopp
- UNN is helping Swift88 with the double turret scripts
- PsyWarrior is MIA, and anyway he couldn't have helped you
- me, I'm almost finished with Messiah, so I guess I'm the candidate number one

There's a 'little' problem: if you're doing the same weapon system Messiah did, that is the MILAN
missile, the scripts will end up being the same as Messiah's ones, as I would be the same person
who have written Messiah's and will write yours.
The problem is: who owns what ? That is: will Messiah agree on the fact I would practically copy
the files I wrote for him for your own addon ? Because there's the implicit agreement between
me and Messiah that I would not have discovered his addons.
This because the scripts I did for Messiah are not MCAR standard ones (the main ones of them,
at least).

Please, note well, I'm not saying nobody will help you: quite the contrary. But, if the missile is
the same MILAN, I'd like that you, Fugitive, and Messiah could exchange opinions about this
(maybe using PM).
If both of you can't come to an agreement, I can try to (and will) write your (Fugitive's) scripts
in a different manner, using a different approach.
Of course you, Fugitive, can PM me about what you have exactly in mind to mod: maybe yours
is a different project, so I'll have no obstacles put between me and helping you.

So, once you and Messiah have exchanged opinions and come to an agreement of sort, I can
start working on your system, Fugitive. It won't take long: I guess less than a week once
started.

[fugitive]

Alright, well that seems quite fair. I will talk to Messiah and see what kind of agreement we can come to with this.
Thanks.

You're more than welcome to use the same values as my MILAN... even though the addons is mine, Sa8Gecko did the scripting and as far as i'm concerned he can use the same scripts (with tag changes and ammo names changed of course to prevent conflicts)

By the way, you did get the net action problem solved and I was just curious what method did you use after all the huge hasle...?

It was the problem with the UKF_crew_mcar function
And surprisingly I think that script was written by me ;D ;D ;D

[messiah]

it was a missing < or > i think... always the smallest of things ;D

[h-]

Actually, it was a missing
=
;D ;D

But the smallest things indeed

[messiah]

oh yeah... sorry, it already had the >< thingy...

;D

shows how much i still dont understand how it works

[pathy]

While the discussion of permissions is going on i ought to add myself into this now, i am also making a similar vehicle which i want to use the Milan AT weapon.

If Messy and Fugy are Ok with me using a copy of that script with changed class names, then that would be great.

[pathy]

Guys?

[Sa8Gecko]

I'm ready, as I just finished with Fugitive (a part some small
details): wauiting permission from Messiah to use the same
stuff as his model. If this should not come, I can come up
with something different, only it should take a little longer.

[pathy]

Well i guess i shouldnt have seemed to have been in such a rush, im still making the addon! I was just looking for permission while the issue was being debated, itll probably be 2 or 3 weeks before i get to a stage where scripting becomes overwhelmingly relevant.

Sorry for any confusion.

[messiah]

sorry guys, missed this..

Sure, use the same values as our MILAN... like i said before, all the scripting side etc is MCar's work and as far as i'm concerned still their intelectual property to use as they see fit...

[pathy]

Cheers Messy

[h-]

their intelectual property

Well, that rules me out then...
