1.4 to 1.3.1 style Bullet mod
« on: April 28, 2007, 10:54:33 pm »
Well, being an Aussie, my local servers havn't updated to 1.4 yet. I've played 1.4 a little, and the one thing that bothers me is the new bullets. It really throws me off: it looks to arcade-style, to big and draws too much attention. 

So in my spare time waiting for GameArena to get up and running, I put together a 1.3.1 bullet mod. The classic style bullets.

With no offence to the great MM, who did exellent work otherwise.

Enjoy!

Oh, and with the new Mod changer that has come standard with soldat, this should be easy to change between the new and old.

Awww... yeah I was about to post that too. :)
The new bullet trails are just... bleah.

I hope MM will fix those back to the fine 1.3.1 bullets.

As for now: STICKY PLEASE.

Yes, he forgot to mention this:

In order to get it to work, you have to DELETE the PNG files from your Weapon-gfx folder.

You should make these .png format too.

I was thinking of doing this mod as soon as I saw the new bullets but it seems I've been beaten to it.  :P

it looks to arcade-style, to big and draws too much attention. 
They dont look in arcade-style, just more dynamic/expresive than old/low visible/ugly/static.
Not too big and easier to see or evade
Bullets must take player's attention because playability, evade, accuracy, weapon-control support.
Also I like too new bullets.

thank you. this is a big help. I honestly think it should be stickied because this is utterly crucial to avoid battles that look like they're fought with lazers.

I agree with most here...the bulletstyles for 1.4 are a bit too fuzzy for my taste, and sorta lack the effect that they are being shot out of a gun in relative size to the soldat. I mean in some cases the bullets being shot (and their trails) leave bigger paths then the heads of the soldat who are firing the weapon...how is that in anyway logical?

- Modified bullet graphics for better visibility (files use PNG, but extension is BMP for mod compatibility)
Nothing to say more, old bullets are for masochist, I liked old, but new are more dynamic so battles are more attractive or comfortable.
