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

Amazing video, I love watching how the thing was drawn from less than a scrach.

It's also really nice looking concept... of a gun. For ckit I like more of an iPad approach, but well...

Also, as im math nerd I'd like to inform you that the video is probably ~9 times faster than the drawing took (assuming there were no breaks). In addition you just wasted at least few seconds of your life trying to read that useless information

[Haraldx]

Stannum, I just love how some of your concept arts come out!

[techhead]

I like the ckit.
<nitpick>The bit where the sphere meets the rest kinda wiggs me out, but I know it's just concept art and it do that in the 3D model.</nitpick>

[Firstinaction]

Yea it's very nice ckit.  The concept looks very well done in such a short time.  Nice job.

[Haraldx]

IT'S CONSTRUCTING, NAKED ONES!!!





It looks very good to be honest! But 1 thing... Stannum, you sure there aren't too many polygons?

[Nux]

It looks like the same amount of polys as the rest of the stuff he's made. I'm sure it's not a problem more than increasing the poly limit in the code and the game running slightly worse on older computers.

Nice looking ckit! Keep up the good work, Stannum.

Actually, reminds me more of a Flak cannon than of a peaceful construction device, but awesome.

I do believe the texture will make you change your mind.

yes, as I suggested, it would be interesting if this model was also the builders blaster(yes, blaster and construction kit in one "gun", a button change the function, like that red button in the gun).

---------
hum, blaster with charges-When it fully charges, it automatically fires and does splash damage(good to kill/support vs small aliens)

He was just saying it looks like a flak cannon (from Unreal Tournament series I do believe) not saying it should be a flak cannon. Now go back to True Comb... actually nevermind, you post random ideas in there too...

The buttons on the back should be represented by a texture at the very least.

[Stannum]

Very true.

Current tricout is 3208 which is way to high. But the model is unoptimzed and has a lot of unnecessary detail for the ingame model. I use a higher detail model for baking ambient occlusion stuff and create a model with less detail (unseen faces deleted, etc) for the first person model.

For max tri cout I use 1500 for the weapon. The hands are +- 750 each.

I recorded the whole modeling process but camtasia decided to bug out so I lost the entire recording. Very pissed off at that >: (

Yea I dont think its a problem with the poly count...   

If he got this stuff in, he can get that Ckit in...

Nice work...

i dont talk about frak cannon, i talk about mega man default gun XD or unreal's(not unreal tornament) blaster(Dispersion Pistol).

like a simple luci cannon, Holding the trigger allows energy to build up, letting the player fire more powerful blasts, depending on the amount of time the trigger was held. When it fully charges, it automatically fires and does splash damage.

makes sense for me, blaster and ckit uses the same energy, but, this new models the ckit like more a gun with extra stuff(yes, i like the new model).

You're concerned about them using the same energy? Please, before you suggest anything else, think about the impact it would have on gameplay. Tremulous is more gameplay-oriented than being about scientific accuracy- this is a game where a brown spider about the size of a small dog can bite you on the head without having to jump.

[F50]

I prefer the ckit white and black, as opposed to red.

lol, agre, but, about the brown spider, I think the fangs stretch, like aliens(avp) small head into their mouths : ).

I think it would not affect the gameplay much, the difference that this shot would be useful for accurate shots, and make sense for a "big gun"(ckit model and new blaster model), in short, humans would not be very powerful with this change, dodge makes humans much more powerfull ; ).

aliens need something new, like alien who flies(no, not like korxs tremx)

[Pazuzu]

You're giving the builder a miniaturized version of the most powerful weapon in the game, for free.
I think that would affect gameplay a bit.

[wolfbr]

in unreal, blaster = basic gun, like tremulous.
the full change do not have much firepower like the lucis, lol, maybe, some less at mdriver

More DPS than blaster, less than rifle. It takes an idiot to A) suggest that the builder get a free luci, AND B) assume that someone's suggesting that. What I got from his post (because I took half a second to process the slightly broken English) is a suggestion that the ckit function both as the ckit but also as the blaster, allowing builders to defend themselves without switching weapons. The "blaster" part would be modified to be a charge weapon with a small splash. There wasn't any implication about damage, only function.

[Haraldx]

WolfBr, just... You didn't even understand a word I said and now you are posting even more random ideas... Just quit it... Oh, and on TrueCombat you were owned by fake Coroner, it wasn't him.

[Qrntz]

Exactly. Reminds me of UT2004 flak the most, compared to previous versions. Didn't yet play III.

What lol, where have the green melee vaporiser and the piston gone? There are blasters in Gunreal, but that's a mod and they are pretty mighty.

you fully understand, but, the charge have some more damage(and some splash, good to kill small aliens).
changed shots or normal shots = same damage per second, so it would be useful in some situations, but not replace the rapid fire : )

[Haraldx]

Demon Core has come up with it's new portable construction kit model - Constructoid BX-685a1. The new portable construction kit should replace all older versions, now with more buttons and less broken and unusable touch screen interface. Building turrets and other defence mechanisms has never been so easy! Note: This is just an alpha1 model, you can pre-order the Constructoid BX-685 complete for a half-price now - only 100 credits, if you are a part of military personell you can get it for free.

[CorSair]

Looks sweet. Now we need only chrome finishing, adjust screen and fix some buttons.

[Pazuzu]

Niiiice.

[Qrntz]

Er, won't it make demons fly out of one's nasal passages?

Demon Core != nasal demons. Good.
