I took off the arms. Notice the "NO ARM!" notification above the bot's head.

I'll see what I can do about the Stand Paths. Maybe I could make them more like the Coalition Heavy's?

Also, I'll check out those sprites after school.

Oh yea, I thought you erm...Took them down for..Er...fun ? Oh well, my bad for not noticing the obvious reason.

I made a turbine jetpack, as if anyone cares. If you want it I also have sounds.

if you could tell me the problem your having with the arms maybe i could fix them
i haven't checked out of this project I'm in it till the end


awesome FZ thanks post a link here pls

Here it is, I got all the sounds from the same 10-second sound clip, using audacity. A bit like I made the firesounds. See, I work hard. If you need any firesounds, Zalo, I got a whole list of them lined up.

when ever you get out of school today Zalo here's a quick arm sample i made
i only changed the shoulder pad as The Decaying Soldat suggested
http://files.filefront.com/13719177
the bottom right image is the newest and the top left is the old

ok this is another shoulder test http://files.filefront.com/13719899
left side is with sovietcommando's shoulder and the right is with it edited to show more of the blue ring... personally i like the right side


ooh and FZ you didn't send any sounds with your jet pack

Oh soz, send them 2moz.

I asked Manticore to clean up any sprites Zalo needs fixed. Thought maybe we could use some new blood working on this. I haven't heard from him yet though

I am in no way giving up I just think this project would benefit from having him helping

-correction he's willing to help and i gave him a copy of the sprites and briefed him on what people seemed to not like about mine

I still need to get around to making it stand correctly,
but I think I might be able to fix the arm problem.

The way the arm is oriented is defined by the gun that it is holding.
Therefore I'd have to change the offsets on each of the guns individually.
This would also mean that the bot is bound to the guns. It cannot have
them knocked off, or anything like that.

as they should be ... sounds like you are doing some awesome work i can't wait to see some of it

Well since I'm not doing anything else right now, it occurred to me that with nova's permission and a few more weapons we could turn this into a full pack.
So i started making sprites and writing up ideas. Let me know if these sound like a good idea.

-mini black hole gun
a gun that fires a bomb that becomes a small short lived black hole

-hologram gun
this gun fires a glow effect actor with fake arms (so he can't use guns) this actor is automatically set to brain hunt and doesn't gib when killed it just disappears. this is meant to only distract the enemy

-prism gun
this is a laser gun that acts like a flak cannon by firing a prism ahead of the beam so at a distance the beam spreads

-bouncing plasma ball gun
shoots a ball of plasma that skips across the terrain. Fires like a grenade launcher

-push grenade
Shortly after thrown this grenade generates a push force around itself pushing objects and actors away till it is destroyed.... can be used to keep enemies from entering your base

-splash grenade
waits till an enemy is near then explodes into a burst of acid

all of these would need to be balanced carefully to cc's weapons but i think these might be cool.
currently i have made 2 of the gun sprites

Blarg. Sorry, Salty, but I give up on dis ting.

The arms are whack. I could overcome them by combining the
Arm Sprites and the Weapon Sprites into the Weapon but I'm just lazy.

And for all those other things, any other competent modder can do.*

But, unlike all those lame abandoners, I'll actually release what I've got done.

*FlammableZombie doesn't count. Sorry FZ, but you are pretty bad at this.

I have another idea: Pinned concrete gun. The concrete pixels would be MOSRots with a restheshold of 0.

well thank you for all your hard work i can combine the arm and gun i have sprites for that

Well, unless we can get a coder for this soon, and by we I mean you, as I no longer seem to be active in this, this project will die like all the rest. Maybe we can leave the sprites if it does fail, for some other guy to pick it up.

Did Zalo really just give up? ZALO? The best coder on this forum was just defeated by an armgun? What has this world come to.
