Ok, my oppinion:

The interface weapons:
 i think they are the same (colours)
 9 needs be shorter
 Can you remake the pistols?
-
Gosteks: really nice!!!
Sparks-gfx: The best i seen in my life
Packs: needs better shadding and colours

 General: Really nice, good job

You can make it better, eh?

[mozzer]

Good, bullets are like 10 times too dark and gosteks are a bit dark. Also the ingame weapons are too light compared to the interface. But i love the packs and interface.

- What am I supposed to do when all the weapons are black...but I am going to try and give them a shine like Shivorken told me too.
- I'll shorten it.
- A remake of the Bauer pistols is/was on my list after Dairy's post.

- I must agree that the explosions do look awesome
- I was going for a simple design but I'll see what I can do.

Good, bullets are like 10 times too dark and gosteks are a bit dark. Also the in game weapons are too light compared to the interface. But i love the packs and interface.

The bullets have a light and dark part so they should be visible on most maps. The reason they might be hard to see is that they're only 1px in height. As for the gosteks a remake on them would me tons of work. First I'd have to make them darker and after that I'd have to make the blood darker. I made the in game weapons lighter because I want them to be easier to see. You like the packs and  Skykanden doesn't.


Now that I'm finally done all the parts of the mod except the sounds it leaves lots of time for improving the gfx. I do have some sounds recorded but I won't be able to get so many in the beta as it's hard to get good quality of them. I will have to wait until the fullversion comes. That leaves me to improving stuff.

To do list:
Bauer Pistol/Pistols - full remake
Shotgun - fixes
TAC Launcher - maybe
Packs - maybe
XM214 - to be shortened

[Freedom]

I've play beta.
It looks really awesome!

Gosteks - awesome
Sparks-gfx - really nice!
Packs - tht what say Sky - needs better shadding and colours

Guns:

Pistols&pistol needs full remake (sorry, but it sucks)
LAW comes out weapons menu

And imo it looks very, very good.

*yummy*
waiting for beta 2 or full

[-Skykanden-]

Blackdevil, you gave me a bad notice yesterday;
Freedom... you need to wait, he can't have the sounds now, he needs the full game...
Well, good luck! And if  you want the 3rd remake of the knife i will make it (i think the remake its really nice)

[PaFel]

You made perfectly unbalanced weapons blackdev

You must work on that more; they shoot too far.

Aslo need sfx (if done).

[Offtopic]
PaFel, yes, we have a lot of elite-modders... Webstie?

But when you say the packsneed better shading, does that really matter, its not like when you are in game you look at them and go: "Ohh, these packs are pretty, i will use them!" or "Ewww these packs have sh1t shading, i wont use it!"

The pistols will have a full makeover.
As for the law sticking out. There's not much I can do about it as the game handles the back.bmp poor. I could make it smaller but I think it's fine if you're not too picky.

Blackdevil, you gave me a bad notice yesterday;

I do not understand your first sentence.

Sure. Send me the knife when I'm on MSN.

Haha. It wasn't ment to balanced. I wanted slaughter(more of a realistic style) and all the guns deliver that. Fast bullet speed and kills in just a few shots. Though I made it fast just before I uploaded the beta

I do have some sfx(vestkit, predator, berserker, #1, #2, #3, #4, LAW, Pistol) but I didn't want to release it without the rest. Though It would've been smart to include the powerups sounds(they're awesome).

But when you say the packsneed better shading, does that really matter, its not like when you are in game you look at them and go: "Ohh, these packs are pretty, i will use them!" or "Ewww these packs have sh1t shading, i wont use it!"

That's one of the problems. Crysis use a simple HUD and I wanted to make the packs similar.

[-Skykanden-]

Yesterday in msn you said to me that the sfx will be done when you have the game, so, we need time....

[blackdevil0742]

Ah yes .yes.
Technically I could record them. BUT it's hard. First I have to get the gun(some of them require lots of stuff before I can get them), then not get killed and lastly go to a place where there is no background noise(damned jungle sounds and the Voice when something has changed on the battlefield.)

The best thing is to just wait until I get the full version and can record them without problems.

[Freedom]

if you're not too picky

No, it's OK

I still can't wait for full

[blackdevil0742]

I won't be able to give you any updates probably until Friday next week as I'm not at home right now.

Though. I might have a something great waiting to be shown for you

I will also change all of the bullets to .png and use alpha on them.

[-Skykanden-]

Uh... i want to know what are you doing...

you can't tell us?

[Lord Frunkamunch]

The individual frames of the explosions look okay, but when played together you can tell they need a bit of work. They don't seem to flow together that well, and it looks pretty bad ingame when one frame is just a cut-n-paste of the last frame with minor differences. Get a few more frames and have them run together more smoothly, though, and you'll have a nice explosion.

It's a secret for now

My explosions are made in photoshop with layers. I kept the same image size as the original. This restriction made the explosions smaller because they use a glow/transparency effect. This led it to more frames that had to be transparent at the end unlike the original ones because they kinda grew fast. (At first the explosions are meant to expand/grow and afterwards they're suppose to give some effects as if the explosion grew sideways).

I'll have to look at them when I get back.

Hey mod maker .. :-)

This is verry nice, but when comes the new version? The Crysis demo is out on gamershell.com and more sites.
And you can now make the sounds right? And people, Crysis the real game is soooooooooooo nice .... DAMN
You must upgrade your PC!!

[blackdevil0742]

I know that the demo is out and it's killing me. I'm not at home until Friday ;(
As soon as I get home I'll do lots of work.

[str1ker]

I know, I'm new, but I've been making a Crysis interface (registered).

anyway, regarding the sound, open up the sounds.pak file with Winzip so you can get the raw Maximum Strength, Speed, this that or the other sounds.

as for weapons, in the Demo, with SandBox 2, you can play the individual weapons sounds.  Then you can record them, however it seems some sounds may not be there, so don't be surprised if you cant get the sound for the minigun for example.

as for the mod so far, it looks really nice.  look forward to seeing the result.

one other thing though, set the weapon's capacity to just their magazine size, because the whole 41 rounds, or 31 rounds, the 1 is only because they include the bullet still in the chamber.  If you empty out all your bullets and reload, then you'll get the regular 30 or 40 rounds.  also, make the weapons less powerful.  after all, everyone is wearing a nanosuit...

may i suggest, that berserker is Maximum strength, and the icon be a fist, like in the game.  predator should be Cloak Engaged, with the cloak icon, and vest should be maximum armour, with the shield icon, like in the game.

Also, if you want, I can make the interface for this mod.  only if you want.

[blackdevil0742]

Hm I did not know that the music.pak had the voice sounds. I did read that you could un zipp the music files though. But if the weapon sounds can be extracted too then it's pointless to record them after all the game comes the 16th Nov and there was some sort of sound "bug" when recording very loud sounds(made them sound all fucked up). I have allready used the nanovoice for those pickups and I used the icons you mentioned . There should be an attachment at the second page.

Anyhow I'll check the demo's folder for sounds. I was going to record several the up coming week but I'll just wait for the full game.

You're right about the ammo thing. I used those numbers because the first thing I did was to reload to get that bullet when I got a weapon in the MP beta
As for the weapons.ini I will change it.

I do already have a registered interface but if you want I can take yours too. The more the better
