The final number on the particles upgrade is still being worked out (waiting on more feedback from Iffy and the CMT testers). Right now, there's well over 512 more particles that can be rendered.

And I was wrong, the max rendered objects is 256. And, at first glance, increasing it doesn't appear to be much of a hurdle. Not promising an upgrade will be in 3.1 though.

Ah okay, because for me to really take advantage of terrain and topography visually, it takes a lot of scenery. Appreciation will be awarded if this happens:)

Excellent! I am excited to see his work with that many particles, as well as being able to do it on my own!

We have colliding particle already. You specify it in the point_physics tag.

hey i was wondering, would it be possible in the future for there to portal off a section of your bsp to take advantage of low gravity in that specific area, would be quite helpful for the space station map that i'm planning

Just create a trigger volume to cover the area, then write a script to lower the gravity while in that area.

yea but it becomes an issue when you have a circular area but thanks for the help

that would effect everything, not just the objects in that zone.

i had an idea for the reticle bloom but it seems kinda hard work... E.G. Reach AR reticle, make the outer circles move but the inner crosshair a wpui. that way it can still change color(only the crosshair) and move at the same time.

more or less yeah... but at least that's something, right?

"Why can't I run this?"

Maybe it's because you didn't install it?

More info,please.

OS v3.1 Trailer video

Extended videos are linked at the end, so be sure to watch the whole thing (hey, it's less than two minutes!)

Announcement post for v3.1

Looks awesome.

I guess we'll see Project K11 soon?

Project K11 is Killa's test map. You'll see it merged most likely with our CMT content, but as far as I'm aware he has no intention of releasing it.

Quote from Killa:

That loadout menu looks great!

Question. Will max BSP polies per screen be increased anytime soon, and out of curiosity, what is the max now?

my only question is are the loadouts an included feature, would be nice to have instead of having to script them in, and if they are a feature, will they sync?

The BSP polies were maxed by CV way back.

The loadouts is part of the way you can script in UI widget tags, CMT will be releasing our loadout tags and scripts when we are ready after B30.

are there updates on vehicle physics? like strafing with the banshee or other flying vehicles.

You should be able to do something with enterable bipeds for that. That's what I plan to do to finally get the sparrowhawk working.

WAITWHAT?!?!?!

sooo...

A scorpion you can aim with while strafing too perhaps!
Now THAT is something I have been waiting to see in CE, and I assume it is the same concept as what you guys are talking about.

they are only talking about flying vehicles, do you mean like being able to drive and have the turret pointed sideways like in halo 2?

could the boardable bipeds thing be taken further to create assassinations? <intrigued>

I'm actually writing a script for that.

Yes! thank you! i've been working on a stealth mission for a while now and it would be so cool to have an elite patrolling around, unsuspecting, and you sneak up behind him and assasinate him like a boss!

That was my end goal. I included biped seat entering in this build, but actual support for assassinations will come later.

can opensauce add/edit global directional lights? I have a neat idea if it can :)

All that assassinations are boarding seats on a biped. If you look at the people who enable hunter assassinations in reach, it's identical to the wraith boarding.

i saw that, and it was cool, but will these new ce assassinations be like reach/h4 ones, where you just hold melee and break their neck, or will they be like you have to board the elite (climb on his shoulders) and press melee?

Unfortunately the melee key can't be tied to any actions other then damage effects. You will be asked to hit the enter key for an assassination. And as far as I know, no new animations will be included. It'll be up you (the developer), to come up with them yourselves for now. CV may later include them, but for only assassinations.

Actually, you can unbind melee and rebind it to anything else via a script.

seeing the biped can get on another biped, can we for example, carry a team mate who has the flag, and use our weapon to defend the flag carrier?

oh good, seperate keys for assassinations. that way we can choose to just do a classic "love tap" or a full-on assassination. good going! and i dont mind making animations for it, it's just that i suck at animating, but perhaps someone could help me with it.



and carrying a teammate with the flag would be epic. the piggy-back of victory, we should call it.

It should be able to work both ways.

When he said enter key for the assassinations did he mean the use key (default key for use is "E" if I remember) because a while back if I remember Tails made a script for it and binded it to the use key.
