Lots of 1.2 sex from stannum

Progress of 1.2 is publicly viewable on the dev server.

Visible damage on death, gibs/blood is something I'm working on yes.

Cool. Really cool, in fact.

On the topic of weapon position. It's all very subjective. In truth I'd rather change it too, but at a high fov it all really looks pretty bad. What I'd ideally want is that the engine uses a different fov (70) to render the weapons, but this is not that easy to do.

I allways wanted that for Nexuiz (where FOV is configurable). A high FOV let you play better, but that ackward view of the weapon kept on bugging me so I left it default.

@stannum

any chance of seeing that demo? 

@fisher

i havent been around for so long, so i havent had a chance to be cynical. But surely seeing visible progress being made, and when you look at the doc, most of the things on the list have been done.

I guess I've been around a fair while so when I see that they quote "progress" it's fairly meaningless to me since about this time last year they quoted that they'd made it to a point where they were waiting on some maps to be finished for the release of 1.2.  Back then most of the inherent bugs logged in bugzilla were sorted out and there was only minor stuff left. I can't get access to the dev server where I'm from because at last check it was either empty or ping limited.

I'm not at all implying that it won't be good to finally see the release of 1.2, I'm just over the excitement, it'll happen if and when it will happen. But a word of advice don't hold your breath.
