Anyone interested?

COOOOLLL!!!!!!! I love that

MattH · « **Reply #2 on:** June 02, 2009, 10:48:41 am »

That looks really neat I'm interested...(duh)

DarkCrusade · « **Reply #3 on:** June 02, 2009, 11:33:05 am »

Screenshots look ugly as hell, don´t zoom them in, a good quality is appreciated

Other from that it looks nice till now, any weapon/gostek previews or just in game?

Taehl · « **Reply #4 on:** June 02, 2009, 12:29:44 pm »

When you use a resolution greater than 1024x768, you can't see such tiny graphics without being zoomed

Anyway, I'm very happy with the DSR-1. I've managed to get it tweaked exactly how I wanted it: It can perform amazingly, but takes equally amazing skill to use. You can get a one-hit-kill with it, but only if you hit them perfectly in the head. Two shots to the torso are also lethal, as are three leg-shots. To balance it out, an average reload time with a 5-round clip ensure that it can't be abused. That plus a great visual style make it exactly what I wanted when I went to replace the Steyr Scout.

MattH · « **Reply #5 on:** June 02, 2009, 12:42:10 pm »

Your gosteks are very nice looking but can you post some un-zoomed pics?

Taehl · « **Reply #6 on:** June 02, 2009, 01:13:49 pm »

Also, the mortar is a lot more useful now (though still a secondary weapon for a reason).

EDIT:

I've /finally/ found something good to do with the chainsaw. While the game forces my electrolaser to do a very high amount of damage, I've balanced it by giving it only a short amount of time to zap before having to do a quick reload. Comes with a flickering arc effect, a decent electricity sound (especially considering the engine limitations around the chainsaw), and even a smoke particle effect coming from the zapped area.

Wb Taehl, good to see you again ^^

Taehl · « **Reply #8 on:** June 02, 2009, 07:00:26 pm »

Hey! Good to see I'm not old and forgotten ^^

I'm gonna go sleep now. I wonder if anyone will figure out what my little project is... I'll try my damnedest to finish it before my new computer parts come in and I get distracted

Taehl you aer back!!!!!!!!!!!
And with so great news for now that mod is going to look even better than LW

homerofgods · « **Reply #10 on:** June 04, 2009, 07:53:54 am »

I wanna swap that gun with my steyr!

Gnoblar · « **Reply #11 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:34:49 am »

I though the DSR-1 gold-plated dragoon barrel was the coolest DSR variant.

I was wrong. I love the DSR and you've done great justice to it. I really like it!

Taehl · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2009, 06:22:20 pm »

Thank you. I've only changed one pixel since I posted those shots, and that's the way it will stay. I hope you like the silenced firing sound I made for it as much as the graphics.

This time around, unlike LandWarrior 2.0, I wanted the weapons to be superb not only in a tactical way, but ALSO in twitch-fest tournament style. It's taken some tweaking, but now I can say that, unlike LW2.0, a 6-person match in DesertWind is fun and balanced (except the sniper rifle, obviously, but even it, with some careful use, can get you half as many kills as, say, someone with a shotgun (which is much better for a fast, tight match)). Those of you who liked my old mod shouldn't fear: I'm still working with the concept of making each weapon ideal for a specific situation, and weak in specific others, so that no one weapon is "best".

Taehl · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:04:48 am »

A teaser made from my latest round of balance playtests (with inane commentary)...

Pff, go figure I would get the background color wrong. Damn.

Taehl · « **Reply #14 on:** June 11, 2009, 10:47:18 am »

Don't take my recent lack of posts for inactivity - I've been too busy working on the mod!*

Looks awesome so far

I WANT IT

demoniac93 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 11, 2009, 11:20:08 am »

The laser\teaser looks epic...Wow finally a weapon that functions similar to the saw.

Taehl · « **Reply #17 on:** June 11, 2009, 11:54:37 am »

The PDEL-7 (the name I've given the electrolaser) actually ended up having a strange and wonderful mechanic: It has more range than the chainsaw, and if it doesn't kill the target (which it can do in an instant), it'll fling them disorientingly around. At the same time, if someone runs at you with the thing, you can actually get /inside/ their zap radius - and they'll be completely helpless as long as you can stay on top of them. So if you're attacked right as you've emptied your magazine, say, you aren't completely screwed - you still have a (difficult!) chance for some righteous ownage.

I've been attempting to hide as many rewards for skillful playing like this as I can.

All in all, I love it. Boogey Man is actually a threat now

Nice, tweaking up the good old boogies. But, haven't they always been a threat, i numbers?

Taehl · « **Reply #19 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:00:20 pm »

Hmm... The MP7 seems... Not quite perfect to me. Any ideas what it needs?

DarkCrusade · « **Reply #20 on:** June 11, 2009, 02:42:37 pm »

The grip could be better if you do it like on this MP7 version: ClickMe
Also: check the screen, there are these little metalthingys that I dont know how to call that helps to aim better. It would make your MP7 look much more realistic

Taehl · « **Reply #21 on:** June 11, 2009, 11:23:47 pm »

Ironsights? A reflex (or "red-dot") sight? Perhaps, but thanks to the extended clip, I can't make it any taller without starting to overlap the next weapon... Well, I could squish the weapon down, perhaps... I dunno, do you think it's worth it? (see attached)

DarkCrusade · « **Reply #22 on:** June 12, 2009, 01:16:26 am »

This looks better in my opinion, from what I see you should go with that

I am by the way very angry for the Nova and I wont forgive you

Taehl · « **Reply #23 on:** June 12, 2009, 07:41:10 am »

Do we have any fans of Fallkniven?

DarkCrusade · « **Reply #24 on:** June 12, 2009, 08:13:10 am »

Yes, me, try to give the blade a little blue color (no yellow

)

Taehl · « **Reply #25 on:** June 18, 2009, 03:42:30 pm »

I've totally been working on the mod, instead of, say, obsessing over Mirror's Edge. Further improvement continues, I assure you all.

I was considering having one of the teams wearing a military-style exoskeleton as one of the gosteks, as seen in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games or those currently in development in real life. Tell me what you think of the attached image. Two things to note about it: 1) The green color is the player's selected colors. 2) It's far from finished, as it lacks any shading.

MattH · « **Reply #26 on:** June 18, 2009, 04:04:20 pm »

Gosteks look good but that green color is Horrible could you pick another color?

demoniac93 · « **Reply #27 on:** June 18, 2009, 04:37:31 pm »

Try sand brown or a real dark gray on that gostek. Maybe it doesn't lack that much shading rather than the right color.

Taehl · « **Reply #28 on:** June 18, 2009, 04:45:40 pm »

I used the green for visibility, but as you wish. *shrug* This is using the standard "Gray" color of the color picker.

Darker, a lot darker, just don't let it look black.

Taehl · « **Reply #30 on:** June 18, 2009, 05:29:34 pm »

You can pick your own color when you play it, but some people might want to be able to play with bright colors and/or white, so I won't be darkening it very much (with the exception of shading). What I'm mainly concerned about is the shape and style of the machine. I was trying for a kind of "frame with a large backpack" design (even if most of the pack is hidden by the arms). You know, if something looks wrong, a strap is out of place, and so forth.

Also, a nice trick I pulled, is that the frame on the foot uses the player color, whereas stopa.bmp can't normally take your color into consideration.

DarkCrusade · « **Reply #31 on:** June 19, 2009, 04:12:36 pm »

Well, I can´t see a backpack on the gostek, try to make it bigger. Some parts of the exoskeleton are standing out, add 1 pixel on the backside of the gostek-gfx to make the skeleton more visable. Gostek lacks of shading till now, but you already mentioned that

Taehl · « **Reply #32 on:** June 20, 2009, 02:56:23 pm »

I'm almost happy with the exoskeleton now. Once I shade this, I think I'll be done with it. It even has its own unique body armor (in form of armor plates attached to the frame).

(This particular soldat has a helmet, and a dull red/grey color scheme. He's also holding his arms in the air so you can see his klata better.)

DarkCrusade · « **Reply #33 on:** June 20, 2009, 04:12:17 pm »

He is perfect, that is all to say

If I understood you right you make a very realistic postmilitary mod. As cyborgs are a technology in which much money is going to be invested you could think about making

A) A technician (casual clothes)
B) A prototype cyborg (plump)
C) An optimized cyborg (like in Terminator)

demoniac93 · « **Reply #34 on:** June 20, 2009, 05:31:08 pm »

Wow, that REALLY looks like a skeleton, but don't shade it too much, would ruin the plate style ;/

Taehl · « **Reply #35 on:** June 25, 2009, 01:53:46 pm »

Guess what? You're all lucky. The server I normally use to distribute test versions to my team of awesome testers is giving me server errors... So I'll make an open beta.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
