i did measure it with the depth hud's speedometer, you guys should try too.

depth hud's speedo is off by like 25%.

or the wire speedo is off by 25%, you never know.

Yeah, depth hud assumes 1 unit = 1 inch, when 1 unit actually = 0.75 inches.
The wire speedometer converts correctly.

Ha, i can manage 68mph, but i have to brake hard for corners and my acceleration isn't fantastic.

As to sever location. I really don't think my rig would take it, least of all my ancient internet connection that maxes out at 2 mb/s.

I know its a bit much to ask, but is anyone else in a better position to be able to host?

[QUOTE=Azur;30500561]Yeah, depth hud assumes 1 unit = 1 inch, when 1 unit actually = 0.75 inches.

no 1 unit is 1 inch. unless you're talking about how to keep things correctly scaled to the fov when mapping. all objects work with the 1 unit = 0.75 inch. but when measuring distances and stuff within source games 1 unit is 1 inch.

also, you're blowing smoke when you're saying wire speedometer converts anything correctly. it doesn't convert anything, it just measures.

[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]

if you would just work of the scale that the fov and player view work with then everyone would be 1.2 meters tall... i don't know about you but i can't see everyone in hl2 being midgets...

But neither kilometers nor miles are standard units in source, so it has to convert between them and source units. Am I wrong?

It looks like a hotrod conversion from an old-school ford. I really like it.

[QUOTE=kp3;30502143]But neither kilometers nor miles are standard units in source, so it has to convert between them and source units. Am I wrong?[/QUOTE]

yeah of course it does that conversion, (kind of obvious...) but what i meant was that it doesn't convert the units to 0.75 or anything. all it does is do 1 unit ~0.000025 km or ~0.000016 miles.

First try building something in a really long time.
Might look a lot better with another material. Suggestions?
I know the wheels stick out a bit.

At least replace the wheel hubs(or w/e that thing is called) with 2 holoclipped tubes...lol.

it's wire that is off sometimes. winston and I tested by sprinting next to the vehicle and comparing wire vs depthhud. player sprints at exactly 30mph, and the wire speedo was reading something like 23, while depthhud was at 30.

Depth hud is wrong, wire is not.

reminds me of an M422 mighty mite, the whole "half-atv half 4x4" lookin' thing. Cool though.

[Falcqn]

Player sprint speed is 500 u/sec which is 37.879 MPH.
If you don't account for 1 unit = 0.75 inches you incorrectly calculate it to be 28.409 MPH.
I'm going to guess that Depth Hud rounds the value somewhere to make it come to 30 instead of 28, but either way it is wrong as it doesn't multiply your speed by 4/3 to convert from units to inches (1 unit = 3/4 inches so 1 inch = 4/3 units).

Fucking automerge :argh:

@name 
@outputs Units MPH
@persist E:entity

if(first())
{
    E = owner()
    runOnTick(1)
}

Units = E:vel():length()
Inches = Units * (4/3)          # 1 unit = 0.75 inches so 1 inch = 1 and a third units
MPH = 3600 * Inches / 63360     # 3600 seconds in an hour, 63360 inches in a mile

See for yourself.

[RedReaper]

Tested the jeep. Some things do correspond with depth hud. I have no idea. I'm fairly sure reverse doesn't
