Steakslim 1 Posted August 18, 2011 In those two pictures, what's the purpose of the big round target in the air exactly? EDIT: Gonna guess it was what you're trying to hit with the grenade round? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristian 47 Posted August 18, 2011 Good , the GL Sight is moving while you change the zeroing?and What that Target (above the gun) mean ? I guess its just a shooting range mission. Like the mini game they made for Android / Apple :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-GR-Operative 10 Posted August 18, 2011 I hope they're completely changing the way the muzzle flash is implemented, since I always thought having it as part of the weapon model ("zasleh" selection or something?) was a little weird. Instead the model should merely define the muzzle flash position, the visual effect itself should be defined separately, so changing flash effect doesn't necessitate changing the model itself. Like it is in SWAT3 (good ol times). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5LEvEN 11 Posted August 19, 2011 ah yes. This is also a new feature. When you adjust your grenade launcher you will actually see that the sights have been corrected and you have another angle of view.Here are 2 pictures of it. I excuse myself for the poor quality but at this moment i was not really concentrated on the camera^^. But i guess you'll see what i mean. Are those proper leaf sights, or arcade sights (Can't really tell from the pictures)? I am really hoping for proper leaf sights.... ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steakslim 1 Posted August 19, 2011 Are those proper leaf sights, or arcade sights (Can't really tell from the pictures)?

4 IN 1 0 Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Yeah, If the sight works just like in american army2.X then this will be another reason of buy for me:D The community demand moar sauce! Edited August 19, 2011 by 4 IN 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fransie 1 Posted August 19, 2011 At around 7:30 in this Gamestar video swims through an underwater tunnel or arch (dunno what it's called), so I guess underground structures are confirmed. :bounce3: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a big model above the ground. By underground structures, we're talking about actual holes in the terrain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arigram 0 Posted August 19, 2011 I believe that the VBS underground structures and tunnels are models inserted in the terrain that connect with it through the updated code and function as if the ground was not there. In that sense, there are no holes in the ground, one doesn't dig through, there has to be a special 3D model defined as or placed underground. So, to make a tunnel or a cave, I guess one has to model the entrances and the walls throughout its length and place it on the map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, to make a tunnel or a cave, I guess one has to model the entrances and the walls throughout its length and place it on the map. From a technological standpoint you're probably right, but subjectively, a structure that allows you to go underground through some kind of opening is still basically "a hole in the ground". That's what I was getting at to differentiate it from some large model placed above terrain height. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
