LandWarrior 3.0!

[Henito Kisou]

Get off Antialiasing option. One way and common is work.

Game play = [(lim x->infinity  (x^2)/(x-1)]/10

your new glock looks LOADS better than your previous =]

keep it up!

[Taehl]

Glad you enjoy the mod ^_^

As per suggestions, I've gone and made overbright guns (and parts) darker, less matte, and have slight color variation to help remove the 'fresh-out-of-the-box' and 'on a showroom table' look (as well as "the guns are all grey" (but don't get me wrong, they /are/ still grey. Just less completely grey)).

So you guys wouldn't like any more balancing to gameplay to be done? Even the GM-94 is okay?

Oh, and if anyone wants a suggestion of what they'd rather have instead of the bomb, feel free. The fact bots can't use it right bugs me. But, then again, it /is/ bizarrely satisfying to use it. But even so. Perhaps a small mortar?

GM is really great, the sounds are amazing!

I don't like one thing of TRG-22, have the same sound of the Ruger 77 of the real game and the Benelli Nova is really similar :/

[Taehl]

Actually, I didn't use any of Soldat's original weapon sounds. Are they similar? I just grabbed and remixed things in my library that sounded good to me.

Oh, and BTW, the healthbar fading to transparent idea doesn't work (apparently ranny morda is just drawn on top of regular morda) so that won't be an option. Sorry.

[Espadon]

What you could do is not have the green blot on top of morda, but have ranny-morda have a red blot; it would be the opposite of what you were thinking (transparent to red), this time, a red blot appears above all wounded figure, marking them for easy kills.

[Taehl]

Uh, I was wanting the /opposite/ of that, to give an /advantage/ to wounded players. Yes? I mean, it would be nice to have a little bonus in the stealth department if you're gonna die in one hit.

[-Skykanden-]

Well but the game play is really nice and i love play with it, the sounds are really amazing, and the gosteks more

Good thinking, I wasn't aware that was your intention when I read about it at first.

I was honestly suprised how well balanced the gm-94 was. The extremely sharp arc and prefire delay take away any advantage that having three shots would have. It is still incredibly useful though. If you want to consider any weapon for rebalancing, consider the USAS. I can just plow through enemies with it.

the bomb... Yeah, a small mortar would work.

[Taehl]

Actually, the limited range of the GM-94 was inspired by the fact that the gun was designed for urban, short-range encounters (hence, it fires HE rounds instead of Frag rounds).

Anyway, I've been looking up mortars. This is about the only decent thing I could find, but meh. I was thinking: Since secondary weapon 4 (LAW / SMAW) requires you to be crouched or prone, wouldn't it be a better thing to change into a mortar, and move the SMAW to the bomb's slot (since you can fire a SMAW whilst standing)? But then again, a SMAW and a mortar would be rather boringly similar.

So I'm thinking, perhaps it would be best to replace the SMAW with a mortar (since you can't limit the angle of fire, you could use a mortar just like the SMAW), though I wish I could find a more modern mortar. And I still end up with the question of what to do with the bomb.

[Espadon]

Did that for another mod of mine; an interesting thing to note would be that if you set the velocity to a low figure (forcing the player to arc the shot like a real mortar) the missile is often bugged and does no damage, even on a direct hit (not sure if I had to set the damage to an extremely high figure to circumvent though). If you make the velocity a bit higher, then most people would use it as a direct shot weapon. You decide though, that's just my experience. =\ Perhaps they fixed the low-velocity missile bug in 1.4.1.

[mxyzptlk]

Isn't the GM like a mortar anyway? Do we really need another arced explosive?
Another idea for 'Saw...

Like that healing gun? http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=14244.0

[T-Bone]

i actually just found one, possibly two problems that just showed up on the mod for me. It could be me being stupid, but I'm not sure. 

First:  When you throw the M79 (GM-94), it disappears.  You can still get it off the ground, but it is completely invisible till then. I think this is probably an error with me installing the mod, but still.

Second: I noticed when you throw the force x2, that they turn into normal deagles in mid air. Yet again i bet this is my fault, but if it isn't i thought it should be addressed.

Yeah, a healing gun would work.

[Espadon]

T-Bone, I haven't D/L'd LandWarrior yet but it sounds to me like some files are missing or were inadvertantly neglected...

Check if the graphics "m79.bmp" and "m79-2.bmp" are empty. If they are, copy "M79-clip.bmp" and "M79-clip-2.bmp" into them.

As for your Force pistols, the graphics for n-desertegle and n-deserteagle-2 must have been neglected; you can copy deserteagle and deserteagle-2 into them for now.

[Taehl]

mxyzptlk:
No, I've figured out how to make the 'nade launcher and the mortar work /very/ differently. The launcher is a short-range support weapon (for thinning the enemy ranks and firing over hills), and the mortar will be a long-range (max range of 1.5 screens) suppression weapon (force the enemy to move to cover or attack before they're ready).

espadon & mxyzptlk:
If you read a little further in that thread, you would have seen what I had to say about that idea:

Just keep in mind that friendly fire must be on, and that bots don't understand the idea very well... My mod used to have a healing tool, but my bots always tended to promptly blow my face off with a shotgun after I'd healed them (they think you're hurting them, so they retaliate).

T-Bone:
GM-94 and Forces ground-image both fixed - thanks for finding those, I hadn't noticed!

espadon (again):
Yea, I just figured it out before you said that. Thanks for the help, though!



In other news, the mortar is surprisingly fun. The SMAW will be replaced. Don't fret, though, I won't stop you from using the mortar like a rocket launcher, however... Let's just say it'll be even more effective if used like a mortar... 

So... Anyone know of a modern, good-looking mortar?

[Espadon]

Okay, thought this mod was actually Online-capability oriented (not like mine lol).

Not much about mortars though, they're pretty much all metal tubes.
I like this one: Looks like a US M252 81mm mortar:

[Taehl]

Online capability? Heh, if online is fun, that's a great bonus. This mod, first and foremost, is for me, and I don't have a connection capable of online play 

That M252 looks quite nice, but it's served by five people... Anything out there which only one or two people can operate?
