Stannum made this vid obviously, and the choopers are amazing :O :D
thoughts?
Notice the new particle effect for the mass driver, and as for the goon choppers, you can just see them when stan evolves into a good (obviously theyre not finished. Apart from that all other choppers are shown.
EDIT: soz if this is wrong section, i only just noticed i posted it in general...
-
Nice. Only one thing missing there. When alien hit human, then blood will splash. But when hit buildable (good example is medi), then nothing. Would be nice some sparks there :-) While rushing it can be very effective.
-
i like the claws as much as i dislike the scoped rifle.
-
That's no rifle.
-
That's no rifle.
that's exactly my problem with it :-)
it seems like a sniper rifle, however, in a futuristic universe, there should be no place for anything like that. MD is a MASSive energy weapon. therefore, it should be massive, and energetic. what we see is a sniper rifle.
-
The fov makes it look a lot slimmer/longer than it really is. All q3 based games have this unless they render the weapon in a different fov. Viewed in a more ideal fov (60-70) it looks a lot better.
-
Wow! Very nicely done, good job to all the devs looks like 1.2 is coming along nicely. ;)

The MD(as well as all other guns in Tremulous) were anchored further back in the view so that you wouldn't notice that there are no hands. You can tell because the Blaster is so close it's almost as if you're holding it up to your ear.
-
i already realised that the MD is virtually like almost one and a half meters long :-)
no offence, i just whined about the look of the weapon, what has nothing to do with rendering restrictions or anything technical. i just don'T like the feeling that at a sci+fi game there is a gun that is very similar to present day guns.
-
Will you release the models when they are done or will you wait for 1.2 to release them?
-
Great work. New models and assets for 1.2 are definitely a great benefit. This gives me more of the AVP aliens vibe. :)

I suggest waiting until 1.2 unless you want a bunch of ingrates slapping their name on them and throwing them into use immediately.

The Marauder zap attack is totally awesome! Gogo Stannum!

My pants = Creamed

My pants = Creamed
Lol! ;D
lava> I know, it look absaloutely tasty!
Im not sure if its just my inexperience. But do the adv attacks always go faster?
-
Wow, amazing! I love it.

These are official 1.2 models
-
That MD getting some new noises? It just doesn't sound right, not powerful enough.
-
I agree, nothing really sounds so "massive" about the mass driver :p
-
Great work! Can't wait until the textures are finished, and (hopefully) the scope is shown in action.
-
Well if it had a real mass driver sound it would probably deafen your entire team if you fired it.

It would also probably decimate the entire building.
-
Actually, since it's meant to be fired using magnets (I think) firing the weapon should be quite quiet.
-
New MD pics, its a textured and coloured model, and i think that those complaints about the MD not looking sci-fi enough should dissapear now. The texturing makes alot of difference.

The mass driver is a particle weapon, right? Toss the clip. Model a battery!
-
Texture looks great, definitely eliminates the sci fi complaints from me :)
-
A portable particle accelerator which causes minor nuclear reactions at the point of impact.
-
I may have said this before, but why is the Mass Driver an energy weapon in Tremulous? That doesn't make sense!
-
Because it needs energy to accelerate particles? I guess it depends how you define particle, cuz I think it is meant to use subatomic particles.
-
Tremulous is not a scientific simulation, it's a computergame. In computergames, Rocket Launchers can shoot bunnies, without the need for scientific backing.
In other words: Stop whining.

for those who didnt see...
and wouldnt it be a good idea to have a sticky called "Tremulous 1.2 collected information" or something along those lines, and have the future models and things that will be included in 1.2 or future releases..?
Mooses site is really good, but not alot of people know about it... So maybe a sticky?
-
I guess people will starting whining about the colour brown soon!
[PS]Love how the skin is coming along, perfectly in line with the rest of the artwork.
-
It looks heavy.
-
Wow nice work a large improvement over the current mas driver. One question is there scoping animation?
-
I wasn't whining, I was simply saying that the name doesn't fit with what the weapon actually does.
PS. I'd prefer in it green, please!

It's a real card... I found it google imagining mass driver. ;)
-
I may have said this before, but why is the Mass Driver an energy weapon in Tremulous? That doesn't make sense!
In a way it is both:
It needs a mass as the payload and it uses (electrical) energy to accelerate the particles/mass.
-
The Tremulous mass-driver could just collect dust from the air, compact it, then fire it with electromagnets powered by an atomic battery.

Who said Mooseberry found it? (Stannum told me about it on IRC, I posted :P)
I pay for the site, that's why there are no ads :)
We have a topic here, it isn't stickied, correct.
-
Fix your quotes. And no, I didn't find that photo first. It's his site too. ;) (actually a tiny bit more considering he owns it.) :D
-
just wondering what would happen if i stood in front of a real mass driver when it was going off
-
It definitely looks much better now with proper texturing, it looks pretty great actually.
I'm glad we're starting to get some visible updates for Trem 1.2, and it should stop some whining now that we can see that something is going on.
-
much better, the texture added the weight of it.
just leave the scopes now, and it's superfine... imho.
-
It's too bad one half of the skin is mirrored...
-
Not enough room on the vwep uvs to mirror the text correctly.

Aha, so that's the reason you run into mirrored skins all the time in Quake3-games.
Meh, that sucks!
