Parachute-Z

Description
Magenta's Parachute-Z with more features added by myself.

A parachute entity. Can be disabled, limited to admins, or require an entity pickup.

Multiple styles of parachute models are included:
  • Battlefield 2
  • Battlefield 3/4
  • Battlefield 2142
  • Resistance & Liberation
  • Frontlines: Fuel of War
  • Just Cause
  • GTA IV

How To Use
  • Spawn a parachute from the entity menu.
  • When falling you will hear a sound when you can parachute.
  • Press your Forward or Back keys to change your forward movement speed.
  • Press your Use key to flare the parachute for slowed decent close to the ground.
  • Press your Crouch + Walk keys simultaneously to detach the chute early.

You can find the easy-to-use VGUI panel under Q>Options>V92>Parachute-Z.

same is happening with me too, with NPC Voice Chat and Climbable Rope

It shouldn't be doing any of that as it does not modify the physics of weapons or the global timers in any way. At best the old boogeyman of ViewCalc plays badly with other mods that modify the way the player camera behaves.

I don't know what arc9 is, but if it has any kind of view bob or sway stuff, try turning that off and see if it still happens. I thought I added a toggle to the viewcalc stuff in here specifically to make it compatible with things like that, but I genuinely can't remember since I'm barely at my PC these days.

I was planning on doing some routine tweaks and maintenance when I get time. If you can find out anything more specific that will definitely assist me in making a patch.

Okay this addon is weird af, so with all of my addons enabled, if I have the parachute enabled, the game works fine, however, whenever I disable the parachute in-game, as in the options setting, for some reason, when using arc9 weapons and shooting an npc at a distance, bullets seem to go right through them... BUT THEN, the moment I enable the addon, the npc gets hit with all of the bullets, it's like time was frozen or something, I know it's probably another addon causing this issue, maybe, but I'm just bewildered that it even happens in the first place, hence my angry comment 4 hours ago, since this addon has cause issues back in 2023 related to the health and armor regen addons. Also when disabled in-game NPC Health Bar breaks so yeah...

Apologies for the comment earlier, again I'm just bewildered things like that even happen, and I give ya credit for actually responding fast, so yea my apologies 😭

@elliot

So what would you have me re-write? Your comments has a lot of words and says absolutely nothing.

If you have genuine criticisms or ideas, I'm always open to suggestions. Just telling me to re-write a 15 year old add-on and not providing ANY feedback is lame behavior.

Please just rewrite this whole addon Idk why it just feels like breaking stuff but it does

At some point they made it so +walk was no longer bound by default to the left alt key. Bind it to a key and it will work.

for some reason when i crouch and walk it wont work

@buckethead

Because the +use key isn't what activates the parachute, it's the +jump key.

(let me preface this by saying I'm not the brightest.) I'm trying to use the parachute, but when I jump out off a building and press my e key it doesn't work?
