COOOOOOOMBO BREAKA!

random emp gen i modeled, it be set somewhere that can be easily taken but aslo attacked, and fires maybe 1 or 2 burts per game(when a player activates it it spins and opens charges and impulses, so its aweapon, but a cehile(i dunno how it would work but it should shouldnt it?)

... get it into your think skull, I called him a retard when he started to cry about the crit, not before. So the CRIT I gave him before WAS CRIT.

I don't even know who you are, you some random dik so shut up. I aint replying to another POINTLESS post...

EDIT:

And geard, I really like that :) (Sorry about not spelling your name right haha) .

Bourrin wasn't even crying... He's French, so your long rows of English are sometimes hard for him to read, that's all he was saying... He didn't even insult you, he said you could probably make that Splazer model better than him... Jeez.

On my side, i do not need help from someone who added me on xfire asking for shadering then deleted me . Considering the fact i accepted this work. And i'm inough clever to care hunter's advices, even if he's kinda insultant

Oh boo hoo, shut up. Damn, you sound like the kid here.

"Oh mommy, he called me an idiot" *Starts crying".
That's what I see in your posts Lol.

What matters is the advice and crit I give in the posts, not the insults. So if people don't like it then don't read my posts, why's it even matter about a little word, damn, baby.

I don't even insult bad... seriously, go to modacity and search "Hunter", but find the posts which are afew years ago. Look for replies from Tweek, then cry...

Seriously, no one cares your past and whatever happened to you. But grunts is right when sayin biggest part of people wont pay attention to what u say if Its said like this. Now please argue on some private chat or just GTFO, in simple terms. Its 2 am here, good night ppl

Funny thing is, I tryed the "being nice" approach a while back. No change in the responses tbqh.
I don't care if people listen, if they want to improve the object, then they will listen. But I don't care otherwise.

Stop with the Drama.

I like the EMP Geared.

Shut the fux up guys. You definitely do not know when to drop a pointless argument. Dennis is gonna go rampant when he sees your combo.

I'm rampant =)

As a person that plays the game, I like the weapon, I like the flip out screen, and the expanding whatchamacallit thingy. Maybe give the animation some personality, like the left hand removes gum from the mc's mouth and sticks it to the side of the weapon - when it's readied, when it's put away, have him remove the gum and put it back in his mouth (approximate the mouth location).

The weapon itself looks good to me, a non-modeler - and I would use the weapon as is, not examining it for flaws or workmanship. But, when workmanship is outstanding, I do appreciate the work put into it.

I am sure some of you could model a precise, exact to scale 77 pacer, it doesn't mean people would drive it more than the hog or want to in game solely because it's a perfect non-boring model, but because it's a crappy car all the way around and is only crappy when compared the the quality of a Jaguars design, or the BMW's engine performance.

If you think comparison crit is always helpful, tell your girlfriend she looks good compared to Roseanne Bar, and see the reaction you get.

constructive: it looks like a human equivalent to the fuel rod, and I would use it in a map, and play with it in game. If it was real, well, I'm only part redneck, and so I wouldn't buy it - but I would definitely fire it at a 77 pacer.

"Grammer" is spelled with an A not an E.

OK then you asked...


There happy?


No it was because I didn't feel like getting murdered by what's-his-face anonymous.



Exactly.




Crit stands for criticism. In short it could mean being mean to people. However most people like "good" crit. Like "I think this could use blah blah blah".



Actually from my point of view it appears that you are the one acting child-ish.
Also...
never-mind.
Is it really that hard to take about 10 seconds to run back over you post with a spell checker?

-Skidrow

I advise you to use more than one rotation axis with your animations at all times. It really does liven things up.

It is also better to never have an animation take place with strictly an up and down motion like you have here. It would be more interesting for the offscreen position of the "frame gun" node to be offset a bit to the right, and with more rotation on every axis. Subtlety is a godsend though, be careful not to over do it.

As for the hand movement, less is more. It would look better for the hand to sort of come in from below rather than swing all the way across the screen like that.


Hope I helped.

Well, this was a placeholder to see how does it looks, but making this, i found a tip for fingers animations (just to deploy em faster)
The origins looks THAT big in game
(see fail here : http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/102069527-4.jpg )
But for the final anims (i'm going to change the model, texture are too lowres and theres still some small unwrapping fails)
1- make some origins more h3-reachish, aiming kinda down, and trying to make as you cant see its not "like it should be in HPC system"
2- Well, let's explain : Entering of the weapons rotated on the right side, and coming kinda like a golf swig, if you see what i mean, then making the left hand and its thumb running along splaser side to open the screenthing (here, sound edit and [clac]) the frame gun follows a bit the hand's move to make it natural, than opening left hand, move it a bit on left side, moving up the frame gun, the left hand goes handeling the left handle, then make it move a bit down like if its heavy (people wont notice most of the weight is supported by right hand and shoulder, so the last move was useless)

I think i misspelled somecrap thar, sorry. I will edit the model, and try to make it better (i mean, sending to geared) and i'll make new textures.

I'll try to texture hunter's nade launcher btw, to get some training.

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about in the second half of your sentence, but the first part is a no-no.

Never copy Halo 2/3/Reach origins since their reticle is down lower and the actual weapon WILL fire there.

In Halo 1, the reticle is in the center of the screen and it WILL fire there. Though, it is possible to change that (although it doesn't always work right), just go with Halo 1 and make it point towards the center. Make sure your Camera's FOV in Max is set to 70, and you should be fine.

nvm

HHAHAA...

oh, frick, you realized your stupid mistake. Damn it. Bah, here's the picture I was going to show anyway: http://static.computergames.ro/cg/assassin/images3/halo2/halo2-256.jpg

If i make it pointing toward the center, it will look like the fail i posted, and what i meant, was making the origins lower, because on the one i already done hides half part of the screen, and trying to make it look natural, even when firing.

It won't look like 'fail' if you make it point at the center.

Just keep experimenting around with it until it looks good. You CAN do it.

Skid is such a troll.

@hunter

How do you want me to unwrap the model with THIS



idk what happened, but i redownloaded the file and it was still here.

just replace it with something of your own. I just scaled the Cylinder4 on the X axis until it intersected with the front sight. Of course that means that I have overlapping poly's, but like I give a crap.

Not true,

Why would anyone unwrap a subdivided model? Thats just a stupid waste of time. How about modeling a low poly, based off of the high poly, then unwrapping the lowpoly.

Texture creation issues, i need the highpoly model, its much better
I already started to make the lowpoly. Its not so hard with max10, funnyest part will be full unwrapping.

I just downloaded it and opened it and it was fine for me. I will upload the obj later on when I have some time.

I actually like the origin you posted in game. It makes the entire weapon look huge. I don't recommend doing a halo reach style origin, purely because it wont be aiming at the center properly.

However, the spartan laser is a charging weapon. If I recall, there is a specific animation that plays during the charging part of the firing sequence. If you pull it off correctly, you could have the origin aiming wherever you want, (as if the soldier had the weapon at ease) and then aim for the center during the charging animation, and still get away with it.

charging enter animation will show him raising the gun, correct?

The current Spartan Laser tags out now-a-days (Sandtrap's and CAD/CMT's) don't use enter animations/charging animations in the style of the Plasma Pistol.

They simply 'charge up' and then activate the fire-1 animation, so if you want it to go the way ICEE says you're going to have to do some experimenting.

use plasma pistol, replace models and anims, replace damage and HUD, delete primary trigger and make the secondary trigger into primary.

will that work?

No, because it'll be charging at the same rate as the Plasma Pistol, and the player can also charge it up and just stay like that, waiting for someone to come by where-in they can then fire instantly.

Oh, that's right. Would probably have to edit that stuff too :P

This is the best i can do...

from this view the scope and the barrel,trigger are nice but the rest is boxy but nice job :D

the scope and barrel are cylindery.
