make RD like in mw2 hardcore TDM, so u dont need 100 clips to kill some1

[fkh]

nice idea, gonna fail anyways.

much kudos if u make it and it works , and GET USED..

3 months ago ive been in a server where a guy was making his mod, shootable nades (in the air yes!), if there was a weapon on the ground and u shoot on it, it moved away, ingame map maker, CS score menu and go on... it was very nice, but none uses it now.

[Mr. Postman]

Maybe his advertising wasn't enough. I've been active in SoF2 for the past three months and I'm sure I haven't heard of this. Or seen it.

Besides you have to give the server a chance. It's not up anymore which is a shame.

But we'll see how it works out. We're busy creating a basic Alpha at the moment, if this fails horribly we atleast know how we stand.


Footage soon!

I haven't seen it or heard of it either.. So guess it was about the advertising like you said Mr.Postman.

[Foxdie]

i dunno how i feel about the ability to shoot nades away and potentially stoping them in mid air could be very good or very lame at the same time buuuuuttt...... this is full so it doesnt matter

[Mr. Postman]

Haha that idea probably won't get in anyways.

[Luigiz]

Haha that idea probably won't get in anyways.

Good. That sounds too weird. And way too realistic for a game like Sof

ah the sky is the limit

[Foxdie]

1 question would this also work on demo unedited?

[Mr. Postman]

We tried 'downgrading' the 1.00 SDK for Demo, however this failed as the structures for both games are completely different. We got far though, but then got some stuff about incompatible pointers for the spawnpoints, and decided to quit.

[Foxdie]

well if you wanna take up that cause again i know all of demo and shifty would appreciate it there are some things shifty wants 2 add 2 demo that he cant currently do

[Mr. Postman]

I'm not entirely sure it's possible after all. But I'll look into it when I get more spare time on my hands.

[Foxdie]

haha well thx for any effort you put into it at all

i do this allllllll the time haha even tho i know it doesnt work

[Luigiz]

Any news from this?

[Mr. Postman]

We're currently busy designing the UI, among with deciding which class gets what.. Vega, from Demobase, has decided to help us with UI samples.

You can also judge with idea you like best, and, if none, you can always make your own creations.

My idea was to bring a hud more a like the army colours.

Like the camouflage as a frame around the progress bars.

Heres another example (again a 5m draw..)



XP would be set by filling the circles with a green gradient, until you reach another level.

Health bar above with green colour when full, yellow on the middle and red when low.

Armor bar is currently with the attention stripe, but i'm still looking for a steel nice looking feel.

And below is the info on which level you are...

It's basically a all-in-one picture, to keep your viewing range more clear without many things to cut down your sight.

And of course i can make these things look transparent, maybe with a glassy look.

Like i said...this is only some raw examples i'm making.

It's never the final product, cause i need the current size of the default hud images to start working on my final project.


I've made another example, this time taking some more time of another type of hud, based on the transparent camouflage.

So here it is:

Health & Armor + XP [ALL EMPTY]


Health & Armor Full + XP Level 1


Health & Armor Full + Half XP


Health & Armor + Full XP



I divided XP in 5 stages, in which each stage shows the player how much XP is required to pass to another level.


I didn't find yet a good looking feel for the steel...so i added the stripes again. All images have a transparent background...

This is the way it looks over a black background:


Please comment

Well you have some different opinions.

All of those i made with GIMP, which idk well to work with.

Here's a sample on photoshop.

If you like the model, i'll continue to develop the bars, etc.



It will look transparent on the game.

We both (Vega and me) had ideas for weapons, I'll post that as well:

Already had this worked out so I'll post it again. Do note these are VERY basic guidelines, we can change everything later. Suggestions please!

------------------------------

Scout:
Primary weapon: SIG551 (being the scope an upgrade, I think we can disable it on default).
Secondary weapon: Micro UZI (being the second Micro UZI an upgrade, I think we can get the dual weapon code from the SP SDK).
Pistol: US SOCOM (Dual on upgrade)
Gadget: Default is flashbang.
Armor rating: 75%
Speed: 125%


Soldier:
Primary weapon: AK47 (the 'knife' thing on the end being an upgrade, along with extra ammo. Fuck the scope on this thing, makes it unrealistic).
Secondary weapon: M590.
Pistol: US SOCOM (Dual on upgrade)
Gadget: Default is SMOH.
Armor rating: 100%
Speed: 100%

Heavy:
Primary weapon: M60 with increased accuracy (otherwise this would be useless. Upgrades include bigger clips, more ammo and increased accuracy).
Secondary weapon: USAS12 with increased accuary, making this one very deadly.
Pistol: Silver Talon with increased accuracy, no option for dual on this one (upgrades include bigger clips and more ammo)
Gadget: MDN11 (a SMOH with more damage and bigger range, again, very deadly).
Armor rating: 150%
Speed: 50%

Demoman:
Primary weapon: RPG7 (one direct bullet hit is certainly not a kill, maybe a few HP left). Upgrades are more ammo.
Secondary weapon: MM1 (ideal for spraying, again, a direct hit is not a kill. Just a pretty big hit). Upgrades are wider range and more ammo.
Pistol: Silver Talon with increased accuracy, no option for dual. (upgrades include bigger clips and more ammo)
Gadget: F1 Nade with detonater (aka, C4/sticky nade). Upgrades are more damage/wider blast range.
Armor rating: 125%
Speed: 75%

Sniper:
Primary weapon: MSG90A1. (more damage/more ammo/softer sound being the upgrade)
Secondary weapon: M3A1 with increased accuracy (more ammo is the upgrade)
Pistol: US SOCOM with Silencer (more ammo/increased accuracy being the upgrade).
Gadget: Mine (L2A2)
Armor rating: 110%
Speed: 90%
(Maybe rip proune from SP SDK? So you can totally lay on the ground with sniper).

Medic:
Primary weapon: MP5 (Silencer being upgrade/more ammo/increased accuracy as well).
Secondary weapon: Health bag (the ones you also find on the ground, 10 HP per second, upgrade being faster healing).
Gadget: Paddles (to resurrect fallen members, this takes 5 seconds, upgrade being faster resurrect).
Armor rating: 90%
Speed: 110%

Each class should have more weapon options...

Having the default sof2 weapons seems too basic.

Like for an example:

Scout
Alternative Primary: M4 (M203 is an upgrade, and launches smoke nades)
Alternative Secondary: MAC-10 (More ammo, less accuraccy, silencer upgrades, etc)
Alternative gadget: Smoke nade

Soldier
AP: M16A4 (with scope or laser upgrade (scope x3))
AS: M1014 (more accuracy, more kickback, less ammo)
AG: Fire nade

Heavy
In this class, there should be an option to mount (to make the aim more steady at the ground level).
AP: M240 (less accuracy more ammo)
AS: AA-12 (less accuracy, more ammo)
AG: M67

Demoman
AP: OG-7V (or AT4-HS)
AS: XM25 (less ammo, more accuracy)
AG: Semtex (with detonator)

Sniper
AP: Barret M99 (less accuracy with 25x scope ans silencer as an upgrade)
AS: MP9 (silencer upgrade)
AG: ALSG101 (Sting grenade, like the one we find in swat 4 game)

Medic
AP: XM8 (with silencer)
AG: Pack of 3 syringes to resurrect teammates (upgradable to 5, 8 and 10 units)


I just throwed some ideas...

At least not to make this mod like all others...iin which this seems promissing

I took some of the weapons ideas from this web: http://world.guns.ru/main-e.htm

Comments are welcome!

[Brighty]

i liked teh last bar its totally new to sof and its cool.

OHYEA SILVER TALON GOLD STYLE FTW

yea guns look cool overall.

nice job

[Luigiz]

I prefer the normal health- and armorbars to these. And can't see a reason to change it. I would just add somewhere XP progress , which could be in % too.

[Mr. Postman]

I think I'm adding switches to toggle normal armor/heath bars, XP in image or text, shown in scoreboard yes or no, etc. Also I'm planning on getting an ingame HUD editor, so you can 'move around' the stuff to your preferences.
