LandWarrior 2.0 has been released!

[Shivorken]

The tar-21 i showed is no higher than you tar (i think) and its not scaled larger. The barrel is just 1 pixel thick, its the black out line around it that makes it look better =]

As for your sniper, put a little silver into the barrel rather than just white so it looks more metallic - not like a sterile plastic tube.

I also recommend giving your Mk. 48 a heat shield. Makes it that much more sexier =D

Taehl take all the time of the world, if you are going to make a mod, make it good because i think you can do it better

[Taehl]

Shiv: Actually, yours is two or three pixels taller and three or four wider. Anybody can look at the two and see how much difference that makes

Aright, tell me how you feel about the guns being changed like such:


Yes? No?

[-Skykanden-]

perfect now in all the others.

you want a team 2 gostek? i can make one for you

[Taehl]

Depends on what you'd make. I'd ask that it is fully color-compatible, and that it's not overly fictitious. If you can come up with a good, mostly-realistic gostek, I'd be very happy to have it.

What's your AIM/MSN/whatever?

[-Skykanden-]

ok i will do it

Sky, I don't see you on MSN...

Okay, good news and bad. Look at the new teaser in the first post. Nice, eh? Notice how the weapons are aligned with the names? Yea, I love it too.

But it brings with it a bug:
[obsolete picture removed]

The scoreboard icons are split in half.


Community call. Should I keep the weapons aligned so you can actually click on a weapon and get the one you want, or is it not worth sacrificing the scoreboard?

[PapaSurf]

haha, i used to use that EXACT same trick in some of my mods.  In a mod like this though, I think it's better to have the guns aligned correctly in the score board.  If they are a bit off in the weapons selection screen, it's okay.

Looks good, keep up the solid work.

[Taehl]

I've officially slept only once in the last four days - let's celebrate by updating the teaser image in the first post!

Does anyone else have a say about whether I should have it misaligned in scoreboard or weapons menu?

[xtishereb]

Ideally, neither should be misaligned, but you'll be seeing the interface images more often in the kill console, so make that aligned properly. If you want, you can mess with the font.ini file so that the images line up correctly, though I have no experience with this. I suspect it involves changing the console and small console font sizes.

[Taehl]

Really? That sounds ideal. I'll go ask about it in the help section.

Oh, and the teaser now shows off all the weapons 

[xtishereb]

The scout looks like it needs a longer barrel, compared to the other weapons.
The USAS-12 shouldn't have any black between the magazine and the reciever. I think you're trying to make it look like a drum mag, since it seems you're trying to make it stand out, but you can do that by exaggerating the shading on the top. Also, the sight is too high. Compared to the other weapons, it is also too blocky. On the front, try removing some of the corner pixels of the outline and see if that smooths it out.
The TRG-22 is incredibly awesome. Really, it looks perfect.

[Thrax]

Wow, cant wait for this mod. Im excited.

[Taehl]

You know, I just realized that now Soldat supports png images... Know what that means?!? I get to use alpha-shading!!

First post now has images of new effects that use this wonderful effect - a lasersight to replace the old dotted white line, better blood, and really nice precipitation! The new explosion effect also uses it, to a lesser extent.

Date Posted: June 12, 2007, 01:44:30 PMAdded a few more pics to the first post. I've been making special hairstyles for the normal gostek. Yes, you lose Mr. T Style and Punk. But the new ones are much better, imho 

Some special things to note about the beret and headset style:
- It's always the right color, no matter what hair color you choose.
- The antenna and mic lead appear outside your helmet, if you're wearing one. This applies to both helmets, is seen by everyone, and needs no special setting up.

(Mods - sorry if this counts as a double-post, but I thought that posting again was prudent so people could be notified of new the pics via the "new" icon.)

[wolfbr]

nice,the blood and rain is cool

[mxyzptlk]

How did you get the dot over the head to change color with damage?

[Taehl]

It seems that it's hard-coded for morda to fade to ranny morda in direct proportion to your health.

Therefore, if you have a green dot above morda, and a red dot above ranny morda, it'll start out green, fade to orange, and eventually become red as you're hurt. This applies to every player (everyone has their own indicator).

My mod offers morda with and without the indicator, so you can choose to have it or not.

Oh, and I decided that the explosions weren't good enough for me. New explosion screenie. Now I'm happy with it

First mod supported health status system - Zombie Hunter Extreme by O.R.I.O.N. btw. Later I maked small addonpack, but is deleted and I lost files on my HD, so anyone have old version post it. Also later I remake this idea a bit better.
Also I like how you improved guns, gosteks and weapons description idea, so this can be 4/5 mod, when released.

[GluLm]

Your mod looks very promising. I wish you good luck with this one, I'm sure it will turn out great eventually.
Must say you're quite skilled with graphic mod. :)

[Taehl]

Thanks. I'm still learning as I go, though, hence I've redrawn the weapons twice and created the explosion effect twice.

I'm still working on the mod, btw. I'm just adding the last little bits of sound and tiny little graphics (like muzzle flashes based on caliber of the round fired), adding the last details to the gostek, and doing some small weapon-balance tweaks. Prolly the biggest announcement for now is that there's no more purple bullets, and the ugly shotgun projectile that used to be 3 pixels (black, red, yellow) is now on par with the other effects.
