Lol, you must have assumed my sarcasm was true. Everything is NOT stock. Why would flood hold weapons with two spartan hands? Every weapon will be reanimated, shaders redone, new bipeds and stuff.

I knew you were joking Gamma, I just wanted to end this conversation about using Open Sauce and not, we all know he is not, now lets get back on topic!

Your post hardly seemed like you knew I was joking. As for Open Sauce, there's still a possibility of it being used, if there isn't enough tagspace.

So are you doing whatever itas called to re animate melee attacks, and do like instead of weapon melees to tentacles

All animations are being redone, except grenade throwing is being removed.

a) Because I suck at making throw-grenade animations
b) Because Lone said so :P

On a side note, how do flood even reload weapons with just one hand?

lol tentacles pop out from the hand and put a clip in rofl

Short Explanation: Same as a normal person.

Long Explanation: Flood retain knowledge on how to use things. Vehicle, weapons e.t.c. I.e, they will most likely have retained the knowledge of how to reload a weapon. Just keeping it easy for you .

Still keeping the flood feel in it though, they cannot hold a weapon straight, and are very clumsy: but they know how to do it.

Sht i forgot that i have to rig another flood model, nother reason to post screenshots

Screenies? Dude pimpin

Erm you didn't answer the question correctly... I mean how would you reload a weapon when you have 1 hand missing?

You won't.

So I won't be doing the animation for reload?

No, we'll get cArray to do it.

Yes. Unload work from Gamma and make cArray do it.

haha. Laughing so hard at that.

BTW Lone, finally got to work on that fog you wanted. Trying to find/make the sprite.

umm just a thought why not just like have the flood like throw the weapon down and you can go melee from there until you find another gun? just a thought however

Keep it simple and have your flood not break off any arms.
Breaking off your arms causes you to be unable to use your weapons. Durr.

I think someone mis-understood my psot.

You will reload as normal, since you will have both arms to begin with.

It can't be a standard, clean reload animation that I normally do. Should I make the left arm more floppy, and weaker?

What he means is that the flood always have one limb thats either unable to be used or really heavy, cuz except for melee they're always draggin it around. They hold the guns with one hand. How exactly do they reload?

Did I understand correctly Gamma?

Ok then, finish out the 60 mag assault rifle, then your empty, and you must find another weapon.

yes.

I'd suggest you use a Battery Weapon then!!!! =] that way No reload for you....I'm smart

Just have it reload normally. sheesh

Why do I have a feeling that this reload:

won't work for flood...?

Because its using different fp arms

/done

why dont u make the gun pull down when reloading like when u dual wield human weps?

u mean like in h2 and h3; when u duel wield a pistol or smg (etc.) and you reload, the weapon goes down your screen until you cant see it. waits a bit, then pops up with a full clip in the gun?

if that's what u mean, then: THIS

Yeah... no. That's just laziness. Even though Gamma is lazy and would do that, cArray isn't.

There's no style to that :C

I stand corrected.

there's absolutely nothing to pulling it out of the screen and bringing it back in, bungie didn't do their best on that, there are games which have dual wielded reload anims, but nooo bungie didnt lol

owai thats not the point, we're not gonna dual wield at all, flood doesnt do that, plus of h1's incapabilitie

anyhow... dunno X3

the dual weilding was the example, i never said that there was going to be dual weps in ur campaign =P

well if u want the flood to have a good reload, it can be to formal or else the flood is a very intelligent one with absolute control over his own arms & can reload like he did b4 he got infected! (lol jks, but i would like to see a good flood reload animation )

What I find here is people with perfectly good ideas but they are getting blatantly ignored as pesky little kids, and it takes half a page for the people making the content to understand.

Everyone on the team has a different opinion to the ideas put forward by the community, and to change something withuout hearing every argument would be irresponsible. And yes, I'll take the fault to this, but to be quite honest, I'm trying to make this mod as canonical as possible, not to mention somewhere along the lines of my original idea aswell, I don't have the time to look over every idea as thouroughly as I want to, and in this case, I usually dismiss the idea.

Is this a fault on my part? Of course, but I'd like to see you look over the communities each and every idea while trying to work non-stop. I should technically be modelling stuff for the campaign right now, but I'm taking a step aside to address a fairly good observation, and to let the community know that we will try and add each of their ideas, but yes, if we over-look some, and come back later and think, "Yeah, actually, with further elaboration it is a good idea" then we apologise, but, as I mentioned before, we don't have the time to look over every idea, run it through with the team and finally set on a decision. Half the time all the team isn't on anyway, as we all live in different time zones.
