Crysis Mod (BETA 2 RELEASED 19/11)[wip]

[Freedom]

Agree with Skykanden.
Resize was good for law and chainsaw, but other weps looks a bit weird :/

EDIT:

After 30 minutes play on this Beta II i can say... WOW!
New SFX pwnz!!

[blackdevil0742]

It's because of the missing outline right? I had done several versions where it is present but I used a lazy method so it didn't come out verywell. That's why I have this one without a fix for it. But I'll work on it.

I'm glad you like the sfx Freedom. If I only find a way to do the explosions then I'll be able to finish this

[Dairy]

Well, my opinions.

-The guns are too plain, all looks the same, plain grey - looks weird.
-Some are misplaced, looks they are between two slots.
-Pistols are still without nice pistol shape.
-Cursor is nice but I guess it will be pretty hard to play with.

[Espadon]

*agrees with Dairy*

Like...they're very grey and flat. Not like military matte-flat but just totally flat. And why didn't you use alpha-t for your bullets like you did for your explosions?

Hey man, I'm making some final touches on my interfaces, and I'll upload them soon.

BTW, you're not really to say, but I can't help but feel a bit guilty asking this.  I can post this interface on other soldat sites right?  You don't mind do you?

EDIT:

Here they are, the final Interface files.

@Dairy:
- This will probably be thing I fix before the final release.
- This is because I haven't scaled the size of the images after the re size so they have the original size. This will of course be fixed.
- The pistol is really giving me a hard time here
- Any ideas for the cursor then? I could make several types.

@Espadon: I used alpha transparency on the bullets except the bow i think. But it isn't visible in game for some reason. You can open them in PS and see for yourself.

@str1ker: Of course you're allowed to post your interfaces on other sites, they're yours. I'm the one that must thank you for letting me use them(credit goes to you of course) i my mod.

[Dairy]

Well I dont have any idea of cursor, its the cursor from CRISIS game I have nothing about to say but honestly I dont think its an ideal cursor. Maybe Im wrong , it was just my opinion.

That's the link to the other forum post with my interface, in case you want to download it by itself.

OK I tried something ;/
Maybe I went a little overboard

[-Skykanden-]

Woha. better.
I like that new shadding.
Continue and you will have a awesome mod :]

[Espadon]

Now they look embossed. O_o

And, uh, BD, man, really no use in using alpha-T bullets if all they're good at is to be opened in PS. You must be doing something wrong if you can't see them in-game.

[blackdevil0742]

I will remake the weapons once again ;X
This time I will start off with them being much darker and i will use a smaller brush.

I do not think i did anything wrong with the bullets. I used exactly the same method when doing the fire, explosions and smoke. Maybe PS couldn't save a gradient with transparency >.>
Anyway I just "fixed" them. They do look much better now and I went for the bright yellow for them.

Date Posted: November 25, 2007, 09:13:25 amOK I tried doing the weapons again.

[-Skykanden-]

Better!
Why you don't dobullets with alpha? More Big

[Espadon]

Whoa whoa whoa, since when did shading = antialiasing?

To be frank, it's like a bizarre attempt at Slayer DZ's blackglow style. Eh, the actual shading's slightly better, but don't go overboard with the Gaussian blur or whatever you're using there.

[blackdevil0742]

They have alpha transparency. I do not use bullet trails and they're small because I do not want them to look like lasers.

I do not remember how Slayer's looks like but I'm not trying to do anything similar. I just can't bother doing the outline so I let photoshop do it for me. I use the Dodge- and Brun Tool for doing the stuff.

Ow well back to square one again.

Hey man.  I notice the explosions aren't so great, so here are some you should take a look at:

Alpha Explosion
Explosion 1
Explosion 5

Or this I found elseware:


I'll find more.  Try them out, they're pretty cool.  BTW, the last one, the picture one, I found on another site, and you'll have to split the frames yourself.  The last is probably my favourite.  However, my favourite one that is actually for Soldat is Alpha Explosion.

[-Skykanden-]

What?! What do  you say? Those explosions are awesome, man you are crazy

BD: i don't like that the gauss have outlined the laser pointer

[blackdevil0742]

@str1ker: I'd rather not use others work and I don't know if I can make explosions like that.

New version of the weaps. And the outline is gone on the laser sky

[-Skykanden-]

Uhmmm Wrose
I thik you are combining too many effects, the past version was better...

[gedazz]

I'll just interrupt for a moment...
Resizing pixel art images is a really bad idea. When you make an image smaller you lose many pixels so the image gets distorted. You should have thought about the size of the images before you made them.
Here's what I suggest. Keep the images in their original size, or redo the weapons, just a little smaller. You had to think before doing.
