Parachute drop

[mr49017]

I had the server set to drop 1 time per map.   When you land you lose all weapons and are invincible.

Need your parachute and spawn protection settings!

[mr49017]

// Spawn protection
//******************************************************************************
// 0 = disable (default)
// 1 - 120 = protection in seconds
set ex_spawnprot "30"

//******************************************************************************
// Parachute players
//******************************************************************************
// 0 = disabled (default)
// 1 = once for each map
// 2 = roundbased: never parachute in after matchstarts
// 3 = always
set ex_parachutes "1"

// Only attackers parachute (0 = no, 1 = yes) (default 0)
//set ex_parachutes_only_attackers "0"

// Protect parachuters from damage?
// 0 = disabled
// 1 = protected while dropping down and weapons disabled
// 2 = weapons enabled and protected while dropping down until fire or bash button is pressed (default)
set ex_parachutes_protection "1"

// Limit altitude (0 = no limit max = 6000) (default 2000)
// Some maps have a really high sky and not using a limit could mean
// parachuting for 30 seconds or more before landing.
//set ex_parachutes_limit_altitude "800"

Can you post ALL of your spawn protection settings please?

I'm having the same problem.  Here are my settings

//******************************************************************************
// Spawn protection
//******************************************************************************
// 0 = disable (default)
// 1 - 120 = protection in seconds
set ex_spawnprot "30"

// Invisible spawn. Players are invisible while spawnprotected
// 0 = disable (default)
// 1 = enable
set ex_spawnprot_invisible "0"

// disable weapon while spawnprotected
// 0 = disable (default)
// 1 = enable
set ex_spawnprot_noweapon "0"

// force crouch on spawn
// 0 = disable (default)
// 1 = enable
set ex_spawnprot_force_crouch "0"


//******************************************************************************
// Parachute players
//******************************************************************************
// 0 = disabled (default)
// 1 = once for each map
// 2 = roundbased: never parachute in after matchstarts
// 3 = always
set ex_parachutes "1"

// Only attackers parachute (0 = no, 1 = yes) (default 0)
set ex_parachutes_only_attackers "0"

// Protect parachuters from damage?
// 0 = disabled
// 1 = protected while dropping down and weapons disabled
// 2 = weapons enabled and protected while dropping down until fire or bash button is pressed (default)
set ex_parachutes_protection "1"

// Limit altitude (0 = no limit max = 6000) (default 2000)
// Some maps have a really high sky and not using a limit could mean
// parachuting for 30 seconds or more before landing.
set ex_parachutes_limit_altitude "800"

Try changing this

set ex_parachutes_protection "0"

In the meantime, I will work on a better fix

I'd like to ask if there is a combination of settings that would allow to parachute without spawn protection or chute protection??
I can't seem to find a way to do it,it always ends up without weapons.

Thanks

in extreme/_ex_parachute.gsc Line 99

self disableWeapons();

Comment that out Rabbit -- that will give you weapons for all parachute settings except 1

thanks m8,i hade to comment out all the lines with that to have it working,i think it's 3 of them.
I saw the code for protection 1 there and also the part of enable weapons all comment out(i guess you still working on it)  :wink:

I'm happy it works great now and the first spawn is a hell of an air fight on the server hehe

I also got this to work but having 2 problems with it.

1.the parachutes don't disappear once droped.
2.we keep dieing on some maps before reaching the ground.

Working on this bug guys

[4morirabbit]

excellent as always,btw castle and suburban are the ones with most problems,mostly suburban  :wink:

I've same problem with X5 v2.0.
Have you an idea mate?
I'm lost...

[Joker{eXtreme}]

When parachuting --

Spawn Protection (with or without Invisible) are on hold while you come down in the parachute.

Once you hit the ground -- That is what Spawn Protection kicks in

Otherwise the SP counter would count down while your drop in the parachute.

[creeper]

I am having the same problem but i dont have any spawn protection on or parachuting protection on so i had to go back to my other parachute.gsc file because you have no weapon once you hit the ground

p.s. this is for x5 2.0
