blackdog~ 0 Posted January 22, 2007 And sharks too ! Yes thats what i was thinking too! OMG! It has hit me! sharks with LASER BEAMS ARE POSSIBLE NOW, now that we can swim and see in the water and stuff! I have drafted this diagram of a shark with laser beam for the modelers to use to make models. It's such a good drawing that I bet that it could be used for textures too? I don't know i dont do that kidn of thing. This is Genius. ShinRaiden would you like to join my team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billabong81 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Holy ****. Just think about it. Sharks with lasers on their heads! LAZER GUN PEW PEW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinRaiden 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Well with both the enhanced watercraft and turret structures implentation is quite straight forward. You could even get a nice visual effect for the shark skin by combining normal maps and specular maps. For additionally functionality, add in helicopter model functionality where the fins animate into rotor blades. For laser beams, I'm not sure on the vector initialization method, I've seen several lite variants based on replacement tracers, I'd suggest also considering high ROF low damage bullets with tracerEvery round.

I hear that he has lots of experience underwater if you know what I mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adumb 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Hmmm that wound't be all that hard to model or textures. we (as in me) could make a shark "moving" truck. that we could have spinner wheels? This could just top the ROFLCOPTER & peter pan module. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Holy crap, this is turning out to be a truly awesome idea. Excellent idea there Sniper Skull... Addons to create so far: Shark Moving Truck -- For transporting the sharks -- Has spinner wheels -- Driven by Hellfish6 Sharks with Laser Beams -- Different fin mountings possible -- Should be able to blast helicopters and such out of the sky Moonraker Laser -- Good for killing the sharks and things like that Orca Fishing Boat -- Shark bait -- Shark battling boat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shinRaiden 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Spinner rims are insanely easy with the new model.cfg structure. Basicly you just set them to an inverse ratio to the speed controller, like you would for a speedometer on the dash. That way the rims counter rotate while the wheels rotate. It's all up to the coef you config in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chipper 0 Posted January 22, 2007 Hi I came to make a request(s) for your shark mod. I was wondering maybe you could release something like the Hammer Head Edition for the mod, just to mix it up. The lasers should fit fine on hammer heads just look. Also is there a possibility for shark/human mutations like this? If you plan on making a campaign they would make for a nice surprise when they come walking out of the water w/ their laser beams the humans won't have a chance.
