D.I.P.R.I.P. is Now Available

For those who don't know WTF it is:

D.I.P.R.I.P. is a Half-Life 2 multiplayer total conversion. Gameplay is based on vehicle combat in various post-war environments. Vehicles use multiple weapon mounts which are activated by finding weapons scattered around the battle grounds. Planned game types are deathmatch, teamdeathmatch and capture the flag. There will also be a possibility to enable players to upgrade their vehicles' weapons and subsystems through the use of a 'money for damage' system. Action takes place in varied post-war sceneries. Key places in the post-war world are areas rich in uncontaminated water and fueal. Most of the terrain has been left in a mechanically unchanged state. Abandoned city centers, hipermarkets, refineries, country food storages, old military bases and other such places are the scenery of raging battles.

It's nice for a demo, but I want something more than the usual deathmatch. Hopefully, they'll incorporate the fighting into some other gameplay (escort, ...).
 
So much fun, reminds me A LOT of Twisted Metal: Black which ain't a bad thing. The slow respond time on vehicles is really annoying though making it hard to pick up weapons and items and navigating through narrow spaces.
 
ya i know loke, hopefully they fix that in the next patch. i kept crashing and there is a bug where i crashed fast enough and got stuck.
 
Badass game, loads of fun. As loke said there is kinda a slight lag when you steer, but once you get a feel for it, you don't really notice it, least I didn't.
 
I had some fun with it yesterday. The steering lag was a bit annoying and so were fps drops I experienced on my PC, but apart from that the mod seems pretty polished and is fun :D Driving physics are better than Valve's default ones.
 
Damn fun mod.

I'll agree on the turning though, could be a bit tighter.
 
They fix the turning delay and this mod will be awesome.
 
This is really fun!

I'm ALMOST used to the handling, too. The best thing is definitely driving straight at someone while ripping into them with a chain gun and finishing them off by ramming right into them. The explosion and the car parts fly around you as you pass through; truly fun. :)
 
Poor vehicle code as in every other Source based mod.Vehicle response time sucks regardless of my ping.
I don't why mod teams even bother working on car based mods when this engine does very poorly when it comes to vehicles.Good concept and all but i would pick another engine if i were them.

They have worked in our mod very well for two years now, I think you just need to try it out for a few minutes and get used to it thats all. Don't compare the driving with any other racing game, cause that would be just ignorant.

What other racing games?
I'd check my grammar first before accusing someone of ignorance.
I did try out the mod for more then a few minutes.
There's nothing wrong with it besides the fact that it doesn't work online like it was intended to.
Valve's vehicle code is broken.It was buggy in GoldSrc as well as this engine.While it may work in a single player mod, it's nothing but a pain in the ass coding it for online play.Ask any developer that worked on a vehicle based mod and he will tell you the same thing.
 
TwwIX, I meant racing games in general, nothing on source :)
Sorry if I offended you <3

I agree with you that Source isn't build for vehicles, but it's still possible and it can work pretty good I think (at least I think we did an ok job with it on off limits).
 
I can't play this game without inducing a headache. The FOV is just weird.

I can imagine people with motion sickness having problems playing this, due to the FOV change upon accelerating.
 
Just played it, it is a bit weird to play (motion sickness, really need to fix that), also the steering is very hard and I bumped into buildings / walls more then actually driving the vehicle. Also a minimap might be nice to see where the action it, it's hard to find the enemy at times. Maybe an indicator that shows vehicles in your sight? Like 100m 150m with a circle around it or something..? I dunno. It's a pretty cool mod I have to say for a 1st release.
