It's the end for 1.1: Evidence shown! Images Leaked!

Is it just me or does the flame look tiny, pathetic, and harmless?

Doesn't look all that harmless to me.

My guess would be that it's a work in progress, coming, as it is, from the barrel of a rifle...

[GeneralScott]

My guess too. Guess that one was old.

[Asvarox]

Holy crap, that's extremely epic looking flame there. It bruns me out

[amz181]

loving the blue semi-ignited bit

these are getting churned out pretty darn quickly can we have a vid soon?

[Pete]

Whoa, that looks.. hot. ^^

[CreatureofHell]

Please wear protective googles (incredibly stupid glasses) while playing with fire. 

[Haraldx]

Stannum, you did an outstanding job! Who's the man? STANNUM!
EDIT: More pyromaniac epicness




Also, Stannum, is it true things made by Jex will be used? I saw there is a hud, grenade and a marine model and textures made.

[CreatureofHell]

Fire looks beautiful now.

[GeneralScott]

Wow! Really churning the stuff out! Great job!

Is that map... The testing map with the dev white color and the ruler marks on the wall going to be a 1.2 map? CAN it be? It's probably the sickest looking map i've ever seen, as it doesn't even try to be realistic and ends up looking epicly cool.

It's just a small testing map with grid lines so I can measure stuff out.

No idea, not really my department. The build I'm using to test stuff has some outdated stuff. Pretty sure 1.2 has a different hud.


I'm kinda happy about the flamer effect in general now. Still a lot of tweaking to do to fix up some minor stuff. It does look a lot better in motion though.

[GeneralScott]

Then show us some videos!

[wolfbr]

i like the rifle model, but, its not good in fist person view.

please change the weapon position in fist person view.

not the rifle's images.

and please, iron sights please(small zoom only, like mass driver), i like the weapons sights : )

What are you talking about. No weapons zoom in actually. The MD is useless if you zoom in.

[GeneralScott]

I think he's talking about a Call of Doody kind of zoom in.

You know what's funny? In real life nothing zooms in if you aim with iron-sights or not. Iron sights will just ruin the game - it's all about fast paced action not aiming for the head of aliens or something.

I agree. In games like crysis it's cool, I don't think it's necessary in trem.

Would be nice though to have an "over-the-nose-iron-like-view" for goon pounce aiming  ;-)

No, it's not.

What! I use the MD zoom almost all the time , feels much better that way.

[wolfbr]

but, in tremulous its not ruin the game.
crysis are fast place.
in tremulous, the acogs give only some zoom for the weapons(like Mass driver) or lgun in some severs.

my suggestion are simple> zoom + acog, only it, more for fun or support in long range, only it. : )

None of the guns have ACOG sights :/ Besides, I think such mechanical scopes are out of date anyway, Trem is set in the future - think of digital camera like scopes:
* Built into the gun
* Pressing a button gives you 1x, 2x, 4x etc. zoom.
* There is a cross in the middle of the screen to indicate the center, in this case it would be iron sight replacement.
* As it's near future, futuristic stuff like night vision and other filters can be added on the camera/screen.

[wolfbr]

but, for fun factor, yes, i like acogs, like BF2142. some new models have acogs(rifle,prifle,mdriver)
yes, you talk about cameras, but, you need to se the camera to aim, like iron sights .

[GeneralScott]

Tremulous isn't Crysis. Scopes would be useless because by the time you look down the scope you'd be dead, plus it would be a FAIL in a dance. Maybe the MD and rifle should get scopes. Rifle gets red dot and MD gets real scope.

Do you even know what is an ACOG?
Rifle and Prifle has reflex sights, and Mdriver seems to have some kind of futuristic high optic sniper scope.
ACOG looks like this, it is attachable to any weapon which has it's necessary rail.

And about the cameras - Meh, I was just feeling futuristic. I'm just saying scopes and such stuff is somehow old for the year in which Tremulous is (which I suppose is somewhere about 2100).

Indeed, it's quite interesting, as the rifle and prifle (or was it lasgun?) have this empty reflex sight, ussually reflex sights are smaller without anything in the middle for weapons with big spread (like shotguns), while assault rifles and others get stuff like red-dot sights and Eo-tech sights. If you don't know how some of the sights look like, just google it.

[wolfbr]

in tremulous, if you play a human, you are not all the time dancing with monsters, sometimes you get away, providing support to other players.
in these situations, the zoom help(like Md zoom, it is also useful for killing little monsters).
its more for fun factor, you only use if you want(like MD zoom).

maybe the aliens can use zoom, it would be more useful for spying on humans, rs.

[Kunari]

The reflex  sights on the massdriver/rifle really looks out of place in tremulous, I recommend putting cool iron sights in place of reflex sites.

I hope those flame textures are legal to use

[Stannum]

I hope those flame textures are legal to use

I made them myself.

oh wow that is quite some skill.
