Title: Tired of zombies?
Post by: gedazz on July 28, 2008, 03:51:42 pm
Okay, I've seen enough Soldat mod teasers (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=24592.0) and (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=24644.0) previews (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=27152.0) to make a teaser of my own upcoming mod.

First (http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9206/teaser1ks1.png)

I won't tell much about it, because you can understand a lot from the image.
And sorry for possible grammar mistakes...and those bullet holes.

If this gets some positive responses, I'll make more.

Very nice flyer except for the bullet holes. 

I think that banner would be about 10 times more effort to make than the mod itself... but at least it'll encourage people to download :P

Intersting, the image caught my atention, but is this just a grenade luancher that shoots twice as fast as a normal one? It sounds pretty simple. And i agree with Hair|Trigger lol. ;)
Title: Re: Tired of zombies? (warning - large image)
Post by: Krack on August 01, 2008, 07:59:23 am
Twice as fast? I don't know about the but it says on the flier...

'two grenades at (o)nce'

Awesome drawings.

So it's basically a weapons.ini mod with one character changed? In-fookin-credible.

Okay, no more paper with bullet holes:

(this time it's dirty teared paper. Also that's a guy holding a zombie's head)

lol, weapons mod i guess?

No.
lets just hope the rest of them mod will be good and not just the teasers :p
I'm starting to think that the "teaser" was a pretty bad idea...
Awesome drawings.
Thanks :)

Actually I think your M79 drawing was better.  But still awesome nonetheless,  just stop it with the damaged paper! ;l

Have you started doing the actual mod yet?:P

Post by: -Zombie- on August 01, 2008, 07:54:03 pm
Man, you got a cool style of art, I give you 10 points.

But wait a minute, is this a Barret that just fires spas ammo? Be a bit more creative. Nice picture though, really original how your sort of advertising it. ;)

Yes. And I'm abouty 50% done. All I need is to balance the weapons, finish weapons interface and make some maps for the mod.
just stop it with the damaged paper! ;l
Alright, alright.
But wait a minute, is this a Barret that just fires spas ammo?
Basically, yes. Although it works a little bit different, because Barrett with Spas ammo would be way too powerful. It has some drawbacks. Also, this is more like an old hunting rifle with a scope.

The damaged paper is fine but you need to add more dirty effects. Blood. Stains. Make it look like there was a zombie encounter right beside it.

Post by: Magus86 on August 02, 2008, 03:48:17 pm
Hmm... Sniper rifle that shoots shotgun ammo...? That's retarded and pointless. The whole point of having a sniper rifle is precision and accuracy, not spraying a cloud of metal shinyfoo...

Nice flyer, but a bad idea... and enough of the zombie crap already. Yes, to answer the question posed in your thread title, I AM tired of zombies, now knock it off.

If I were someone else coming in to this conversation, I'd say something along the lines of "You stop picking on Lord Frunkamunch; he could totally kick your ass in air hockey."

See, satirically it makes sense. After all, assuming you don't play air hockey, it's logical to assume that someone who plays it a lot would beat you, and you wouldn't really care because it's not really your thing. This situation is similar. Most of my past mods were rips and shrinks (which take a small amount of time to make) and were abandoned because I deemed them unworthy of what little time I had already invested in them. Gedazz, on the other hand, is perfectly fine with making a poster for every weapon he makes. So it's not really a fair comparison.

But I'm not another person. So I'll just say this: You're an asshat.
(http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/8/2/t_wheem_e73c671.jpg) (http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/8/2/f_wheem_e73c671.jpg&srv=img33)



Baseless and near-unprovoked flaming aside, I think you should actually post an actual sample of whatever it is you're making, as this seems to have prompted little more than brown nosing. Than again, I can see that the hype itself is basically an experiment. So whatever.

Also, I could totally kick your ass at air hockey.
Title: Re: Tired of zombies? (warning - large image)
Post by: Espadon on August 02, 2008, 08:40:15 pm
Eh I agree that Gedazz is pushing it in the fact that he's just posting posters without any substantial pictures of the actual weapons...
Title: Re: Tired of zombies? (warning - large image)
Post by: Magus86 on August 02, 2008, 10:06:17 pm
No, Forum Troll, I will not "GTFO." I'll say what I want. WTF is this? Seriously, get off your fucking pedestal and stop acting like your shit doesn't stink, you elitist forum snob. I like how anybody else can say his or her opinion, but the second I say anything, whether it's derogatory or not, I get insta-flamed by Espadon. And then Boots, his butt-buddy, comes along and tells me to fuck off for no reason. No, Boots, YOU fuck off. I didn't say anything to you or Espadon. I answered a fuckin question that the person who started this thread asked. I'm allowed to answer if I want to.

That's because there are no weapon images for the interface. I'm taking a different approach to the weapons interface. It's going to be similar to what I did with Soldat Pit (http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=24698.0), but more drastic.

That was a rhetorical question and either you knew that or you're borderline retarded. Don't get all butthurt because you got called out on being a dick.

Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Magus86 on August 03, 2008, 12:16:03 pm
I'm not "getting all butthurt." I'm sick of every time I fuckin post something, Espadon comes along and tries to criticize and bitch about everything I say. Enough with the flaming already. Grow the fuck up.

That was one of the few times he had the right, though.
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Magus86 on August 03, 2008, 04:12:28 pm
Okay, so I suppose twating about the zombies was unnecessary, but seriously... a sniper rifle that shoots buckshot? Am I the only one who sees why that doesn't make sense? Besides, I complimented his flyer. I don't quite see how that makes me a dick, but whatever...
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: gedazz on August 04, 2008, 02:05:18 am
a sniper rifle that shoots buckshot?
No no, I put it in a wrong way. Blame my little knowledge of weapons. Okay, it's not a sniper rifle, it's a hunting rifle with a scope. Does it make sense now?
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Hair|Trigger on August 04, 2008, 02:41:06 am
It's fucking soldat...

Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Magus86 on August 04, 2008, 10:17:33 am
not really. it doesn't really matter what kind of rifle you call it. all rifles are meant for some degree of accuracy. the name comes from the grooves inside the barrel that make the bullet spin as it goes thru the barrel. It's called rifling, and it makes the gun more accurate.

Go ahead and do what you want with your mod. I'm just saying it doesn't really make sense. To me, that matters, but apparently it doesn't to everybody, and that's fine.
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: gedazz on August 04, 2008, 02:13:24 pm
Blame my little knowledge of weapons
and English.
Thanks for explaining what 'rifle' is (really, I actually didn't know what that word exactly means).
Then I suppose, it should be called a shotgun. Right?
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Magus86 on August 04, 2008, 03:32:51 pm
yes, that is correct... and while they do have bolt action shotguns, they don't usually put a scope on a shotgun because shotguns are only effective from a short distance... that is due to the fact that buckshot(the ammo most used in shotguns) is made up of many little metal balls that explode in in a cone shape. The farther the BBs go, the larger the area of effect, and the less damage done because the bbs will lose velocity, and fewer will hit your target.

Post by: Boots on August 05, 2008, 12:58:32 am
feck off magus you fecking homo. Jesus fecking christ. Seriously though, NOW ONE GIVES A FLYING feck. IT'S A SOLDAT MOD. Yeah, what ever? It's made for zombies? Use your fecking imagination you fecking 'tard. If you can't face the fact that this is a game, and thats all it is,  then gtfo this forum. Heck, you'd probaly write a five fecking page essay if I decided to go make a sex mod, with crazy things like a penis. You'd probaly correct me for making the penis to big.


Yeah, I went offtopic, sue me. I don't really care.


Magus, just go die, or lay of the "smart" posts. Because no one, at all wants to bother to read your bullshinyfoo.
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: gedazz on August 05, 2008, 02:46:17 am
Boots, relax. I'm actually grateful to Magus, because he taught me something about weapons. I've never really knew that when a barrel has grooves it should be called a rifle. I thought you can call a rifle any weapon you want. Anyway, keep the arguing away from this topic, please.
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Magus86 on August 05, 2008, 02:57:31 am
Holy hell... Somebody forgot to take his medication...

Well, Gedazz, that's what I'm here for, but very few seem to have noticed while the rest just camp outside my door with flamethrowers. To learn much more than I could ever tell you about guns, take a look at http://www.world.guns.ru/main-e.htm. It's a great site full of info including weight, length, caliber, rate of fire, mag capacity, history, and pictures of almost any gun made in the last century. It's a great reference for making mods.
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Hair|Trigger on August 05, 2008, 03:09:02 am
Wtf?  shotgun sniper rifle was a great idea..

I dont care if it doesnt make it a "rifle" exactly but..
Use your fecking imagination you fecking 'tard.

Damn, stop getting so butt-hurt over this.

All I got from your first post in this thread was: "Retarded, pointless, shinyfoo" and "I AM tired of zombies." You were asking for it :P.

Gedazz has pointed out that this is more than a gun-shooting-buckshot mod. You're standing on shaky ground there.

Edit:

It appears I am slightly too late. Didn't skim through the second page until now... Well, Boots did any bit of flaming anyone was dying to do, so I'll just leave it be ::), thought I have a hunch that this mod isn't going to follow real-life exactly... and I must say, you did tell Boots to "No, Boots, YOU feck off." You were asking for it there too.

I love the poster. It was a good "hook" to get people interested. It worked on me :)

Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Magus86 on August 05, 2008, 10:04:59 am
Um... I stopped complaining about anything on the first damn page. Then I explained what a rifle is, and that somehow makes it okay for Boots to say whatever he wants?

Somebody told me to feck off first, so I told him to feck off back... but I'm the one, and apparently the only one, who's done something wrong in this case... what the feck ever.

I'm getting flamed for HELPING somebody, for feck's sake. What kind of bullshit is that?
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?

I was trying to keep the arguing away, but helping somebody is apparently bad.

So Gedazz, how's the mod going? Got any screenshots to show us yet?
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Lord Frunkamunch on August 11, 2008, 03:13:50 pm
It's not a graphical mod, and screenshots of a text document aren't that interesting.
Title: Re: Tired of zombies?
Post by: Magus86 on August 11, 2008, 04:30:45 pm
so the in-game graphics won't be changed at all? What about the gostesks or the interfaces?

Yes, only 4 classes/weapons, but this way it is easier to balance the mod.

The mod includes modified weapons interface, weapons-gfx, sounds and some maps (not new maps, but modified ones).

It has that too. It has 'class based weapons.ini' and some graphical changes. Actually the 'class based weapons.ini' is the core of the mod. Basically this is Soldat Pit for zombie matches.
