The weapons in this mod seem way to powerful.

[Dustyjjc]

I know. That was their desicion. It is called "survival mod"

Nice bitmaps minus the whole messing up of the MC image mask.

[Dustyjjc]

No. the MC is supposted to look like that. anyway, thats the only bitmap i didnt do. lol.

[Altimit01]

I'm almost certain it shouldn't look like that. That's what happens when you mess with the multi-purpose or the cube map or the image mask (don't remember which). It ends up being the raw reflection shader and usually looks like crap.

[Ayumi]

Thank you so much for using smaller images than most people DX

For a less laggy shotgun, null or decrease the brightness of the charged bolt projectile. I forget what exactly to take away though...


For future reference, I suggest using DropStuff to create a .sitx so it compresses a few hundred KB more. The icon also looks cooler XD
I'm pretty sure compressing each file and then the folder helps as well :3

Ver Nice

say, how do you get weapons to spawn other weapons/vehicles/bubles shield (scen or vehi made scen?)/ stuff?

[Altimit01]

You know what's even lighter than .sitx, ppf files. There's nothing rebuilt so they'd be workable and at least an order of magnitude smaller.

As for spawning things with a weapons, you d-swap the proj tag in the weapon for whatever you want.

Hey altimit,

Im trying to make bubble shields with the plasma nades (like throwing them down) but unlike projectiles from weaps, they dont reflect granades or any other projectiles. Can you please explain, o master?

[Altimit01]

Well assuming you even got them to produce anything, most likely it's not deflecting since there's no material. It's having materials that cause bullets to ping off and grenades to bounce (or stick). So depending on how you did it would dictate part of that, but basically, you need something without a collision but still produce a mod2.

[Ayumi]

PPFs rarely work. It's worth the wait to be sure of a properly compressed file.

[Dustyjjc]

well. I bet there is a way to get it to work. the cool thing is they stick to people. can you think of any way to change it to make it work? I can send you mod if you like.

[Altimit01]

I've never had an issue with PPFs except for the creation. And that can be fixed by simply moving PPFmaster on to the desktop. They work for a good portion of the modding population as well which is why they are a required filetype on places like halomods.

PPF version
Operator version

As for your shield grenades, I've been talking to conure and there's not a super simple way of doing it that looks good. I might be able to bug him into figuring out a method / getting his plugins to have the necessary data.

Dusty He is Right, It wasnt Supposed to look like that. That at least wasnt my intention anyway though it does look nice. Were going to fix it in the beta unless you guys want to keep the skins as is. But yeah if we can get the Bubble Shield Worked out (and the permission to use it) we could put that in. Also heres Clanhalo Link to this Topic.
