Eh I might convert my menu weapons back to PNG if... has 1.4.2 fixed the funky PNG resizing on the kill logs yet?

Whta's wrong with that?

Espadon · « **Reply #21 on:** August 19, 2007, 10:21:59 am »

It didn't look very good in 1.4.1. It looked like a horrible MS Paint next-pixel resampling (not bicubic like Soldat does with BMPs) and also with the plastic-foil effect on the edges...

I don't see any strange things.

that's a fantastic style

looking forward to it.

Oh goodie, I think I'll go back to PNG then.

that should give your mod that extra edge it needs. That combined with your fantastic pixel work, I think it'll be hard to beat that, but we'll try :-)

yeah, it's actually pretty easy to do. It adds to the smoother gameplay. I've made a couple of new guns but I'm waiting for him to polish them up a bit. I can try to imitate his style, but I can't get it just like that. IMO the orange gun has the most detail on it...

BTW Mangled, do you have msn messenger? (whoops, it's called Windows cra... I mean live messenger)

I do... I'll add you.. but I don't use it too often..

Update: slayer made a new gun, we haven't decided what it should be yet. And added some stuff to the pistol (prolly gonna be the deagles)

I'm trying to find some good sounds now, anyone has any suggestions?

Date Posted: 20-08-2007, 13:35:47

ok, we have most of the weapons. There are a couple of surprises as well in the mod. Now I need some people to test the weapons.ini. Those couple of special someones will get all of the interface guns, most sounds and weapons.ini. I'll prolly set up a server to test it against people.

So, people start applying for the beta test, there will be only a few people. If I am satisfied with you, you might be the one!

I dont want beta i want ask: there will be in-game gfx to? pwety pweeessee?

Second gun is a-we-so-me! I must have it!

If you need only weapon mod balance and other things, sure, I can be one of beta tester or if neccessary, more than that.

Espadon · « **Reply #30 on:** August 23, 2007, 11:21:25 am »

Seeing that you guys have menu graphics covered quite well, I dare suggest also putting the same emphasis on the in-game weapons, so that the entire endeavour doesn't end up like the SAC mod.

Will · « **Reply #31 on:** August 24, 2007, 12:09:27 pm »

Yeah we will try to make the ingame graphics really good aswell, like what numgun/Alteisen did in ERA. We'll also put attention to small things like the clips and stuff like that. I just want everything to be of a great quality. Slayer went on a 3 day vacation from vacation and he changed his mind and changed the style of then guns a bit. They'll not be so colorful, and are quite darker now. But I have most of the old versions so there won't be a poblem if people don't like the new ones. We're doing this primarily for ourselves

Right now I'm focused on sounds. I'm getting them from some other games and editing them in audacity. That program really helps for amateurs n sound editing like me.

Yeh, about the weapons.ini, the gameplay will be quite different aswell. We have a variety of weapons really different from soldats original and I reckon it will be great, atleast for singleplayer...

I think thats what makes the mods better than average, I mean look at FMBM's work. Altough I don't like his graphics adn I dunno whats all taht hype about, I still know how much work has been put into that mod and I reckon he did it primarily for himself

ok, here's the new work, check the first post http://forums.soldat.pl/index.php?topic=18997.0 and enjoy

OMGAWD! That looks realy amazing! keep it up

im looking forward for the release.

Espadon · « **Reply #35 on:** August 25, 2007, 10:32:26 am »

The...gun...first one on the bottom row...now that it's recolored...I keep getting a funny feeling that I saw the gun somewhere before... hrm.

Kinda weird how people are going OMGAWSH and the rating's going downhill, eh? $:-\$ Mind you I just boosted it back up.

-Skykanden- · « **Reply #36 on:** August 25, 2007, 04:08:59 pm »

yaaaay!

really nice, i want to see it finished
continue by that way

Will · « **Reply #37 on:** August 31, 2007, 06:20:44 pm »

first one on the bottom row, hmm I kinda based it on this gun but then slayer kinda changed it to look better

Thanks for boosting it up, but I guess some people just have problems with me and thats all. I hoped that I will get more responses, but I guess I'll need to release this mod to get some more concrete criticism instead of just looking great and the rating is poor. Well I don't care about the rating because me and slayer made this for ourselves and are releasing it because we are confident and believe in our (his, mostly, when it comes to graphics) talents.

It doesn't seem like anybody's interested in this mod, but neither the less, I have some updates for you. Some new guns were made, and sounds and graphics edited. One of the most beautiful looking things in this mod so far are the explosions and flames. The gosteks are mostly done and the sparks are there too. This mod was inspired by the likes of ERA, but I think our sparks and explosions turned out to be better because we used the png support. There will be almost no .bmp files in this mod and I' proud to say that weapons.ini balancing is nearing it's completion. There is a question though... Since this is sort of a total conversion, should we make maps. The default roughness and smoothness of this mod just don't really match. If anybody wants to make maps I will gladly provide thebeta release of the mod for testing purposes.

The oly things left now are the weapons-gfx and the tweaking of the gosteks, and maybe making team 2 gosteks.

Some of you may think that I'm just bragging and that this is a shitty mod, but we did our best at making original graphics and finding original sounds so the mods wouldn't get repetitive if we used the same sounds over and over again.

One word: sexy. Goal: finish it.

Espadon · « **Reply #39 on:** August 31, 2007, 09:27:12 pm »

I'm not sure about this, but I do know that PNGs in the interface won't show up if they are not accompanied by their respective BMP files. Confirm this before making the mod "PNG-Only?"
