Drones Rewrite для Garry's Mod
Meet Drones Rewrite! We are developing it from scratch since August 2015. It is completely new, last, biggest and best part of Drones which contains a lot of new drones, options, weapons and etc.
You dont need any previous Drones addons for this to work.
A: Go to Entities tab and find there drone upgrades, spawn any and touch the drone with it
A: "I" Key
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
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
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
A: Go to Entities->Drones Rewrite Ammo and spawn ammo that you needed. After that place your ammo
box on top of your drone
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.
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
A: You can't undeploy it, because it is one use 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
A: Go to Q->Options->Drones Rewrite->Keys
A: Currently that is not possible. We will add this feature in the next updates
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
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
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)
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 Softworks and Obsidian Entertainment.
- 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.
