[b]As per DomonDSPR's request, I am releasing my beta of the Jumper SWEP.[/b]
I have not actually seen the movie yet so tell me how close to the movie this is.
I do not have a video yet. If somebody wants to make one then that's fine. For some reason, You Tube and Google Video are super slow for me when it comes to uploading.
[b]Instructions:[/b]
[list]Gain your powers(spawn the SWEP).[/list]
[img]http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/6416/gmconstruct0000hr3.jpg[/img]
[list]Take a deep breath and thrust yourself forward(primary fire).[/list]
[img]http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/833/gmconstruct0001jv8.jpg[/img]
[list]Bounce around until you find a spot to land(use your regular controls to fly around).[/list]

[img]http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9586/gmconstruct0003us1.jpg[/img]
[list]You will have about 3 or 4 seconds before your powers wear off(you're on a timer, suck it).[/list]

Basically, you become invisible(I think) and fly around until you find a spot where you want to land(or until your timer runs out) and you will reappear in the spot your timer runs out at. You can also use your secondary fire to reappear early if you don't want to be bouncing around at light speed.
Please keep in mind that this is a beta and that I have put a lot of work into this( tweaking screen effects and such ) so please don't bitch about it being glitchy. Provide suggestions and friendly constructive criticism. :)
[b]I hope to get some positive comments and feedback so I know what to do to make this better.[/b]
Here is the download link:
[b]Here is the toned down version:
This is probably the FINAL version.[/b]

It has several added features such as:
It is faster, it allows the player to walk on the ground while in jump mode, and it has toned down effects.

It's in addon format so you should be able to figure this out if you have 1/8 of a brain. ;)
[highlight]Disclaimer:[/highlight]
[b]This SWEP sets your post processing vars to different settings so you see all the cool effects. If your game lags due to stuff like normal DOF, Bloom, Color Mod, and Motion Blur, then this is not for you. I am sorry, but there isn't much you can do about that. :([/b]
Enjoy!
That's actually a pretty cool idea. Nice job.
Oh wow! You got my download.
Thank DomonDSPR. It was his idea. I just did the hard work. :D
If you keep at it you are going to become scary good at lua. I can tell.
Thanks. That means a lot to me. :)
It's exactly what I'm aiming for.
Dang. An unexpected bug has come up. It's not taking me out of jump mode automatically. I think changing from addon format to a regular extraction would fix it, but I'm not sure. :raise:
I remember in the trailer, he held someone and was able to jump. Make it so that if you hit "E" on an object or a person while standing right next to it, it will jump with you.(only an object that is big enough to hold anyway. Also, if it is not, admin only it.
I am going to test it now! looks fun!
Uh oh. Not working correctly. It was working fine a few minutes ago. :(
I can fix it tomorrow. It may not need fixing. People would eventually tire of being blurred all the time.
Oh, also in the trailer, if he rememerd a location, he could go to it. Make it so that if you hit "R" or something at a location, you would jump there when you used the power. "R" again would reset the power to normal. Maby you could make it so that secondary fire would jump there while standing still, but I don't know.
I have a list of scripts to do and finish. I'll see what I can do tomorrow but I need some sleep. It's like 1:30 AM where I am. :o
omg this rocks but did you test it? because you sayed i think alot.

East coast US?
I tested it.
Thought it was broken.
Then I relized I have a slow computer.
Awesome!
I was expecting a new jumper you could wear.
[QUOTE=123696321]omg this rocks but did you test it? because you sayed i think alot.[/QUOTE]
I have tested extensively. I wasn't sure about how it would act in a multiplayer game so that's why I said think so much.
Right before I uploaded it was working almost flawlessly. I'll fix it today.
[b]Edit:[/b]
The one bug I know of is that sometimes it will forget to stop flying. It will usually not work unless you take yourself out of jump mode on your first use of the SWEP. It's really iffy.
In the movie, he jumped a hole apartment floor in the end, so yea I don't think if the object is to big you can't take it. The movie was good.
Well, I haven't made it so you could take objects with you or anything, but I could probably do that if you guys want.
I'm working on Beta 2 which is working much better.
Wow, I played with it. I fucking love it. You'll become extremely good at Lua if you keep these kind of SWeps up!
Thanks. Here is beta 2. It should be less glitchy.

Comments/bug reports please. :D
Cool, This I got to try
Hey, I'm starting the next request on my to do list. What's the file name for snow or ice? Aren't there some from CS:S?
Nice! Will download.
Thanks works very nicely cool blurry effects nice release!
Thanks. I'm pretty sure that this is my first actual SWEP release in this forum. :)
Hey grea$emonkey I was going to send you a personal message but I do not have the ability to do so so I will ask you here hope you do not think I am hijacking the thread though lol.
First of nice work on the jumper swep it is great fun lol.
Secondly I am learning some stuff in 3d max 9 so I can make a sliders timer model with an animated looping 1 minute count down and was needing someone to make it into a weapon the player holds and can see in first person view, would you be willing to help with that once the model if finished? contact me on steam as chevron8653 if you can and will not mind helping.
thanks
back on topic considering you have not seen the movie this is really fun to use, I am going to try go threw Avons Stargate while jumping lol.
Setting a SWEP model isn't a hard task at all. It's making sure the model will look right while holding it that's the problem. ;)
Wow this is neat, I have yet to test to see if i'm truely invisable while using it, but so far so good...
Could improve a little of course, Also moving around in blury mode seems a little odd... Maybe would it make more sense, if it just teleports you to wherever you happen to be pointing the crosshairs? Then again that could pose other problems...
From what I've seen of the movie, it looks like there is a black mist or something, right when the jumpers jump... So is that possible to add? I think it would make this a KILLER addon!
I've seen a decent effect like that, from the Wormhole addon, When the black hole sucks things in, there is a momentary black particle effect which shrinks into the black hole... If you could get that to happen (for the sake of what other people will see), when we jump - then reapear, That would be the shit!
Wormhole addon so you can see what I'm talking about:
[url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=31039[/url]
I hope I made enough sense with that idea...
Here's a much harder idea, that could be something to shoot for, in the future... Make it possible for other players, to hijack your Jump... I think I heard that, in the movie, each jump leaves a little tear in space, which in the movie is used to send some kind of grapple hook through to grab the jumpers back... But rather than worry about that hook... Wouldn't it be neat if others could jump into your space-tear, before the black particle effect faded away (only a second or 2 mind you), and get teleported to virtually the same spot you did?
Obviously this is an admin tool, so maybe that idea is a little too much, but that's why It's just an idea... lol Not something I'd ever expect to see.
Frankly I like the black particle idea better, and I think it would be awesome if that could be integrated into this addon! ^_^;
You should have three modes of teleportation. One would be the way you already have it, the second would be to point at a brush and click. You then teleport to the brush you were pointing at. Third would be the coolest one, I think. You press a button, and you go into a topdown view of the whole map. You click on a spot on the map, and you get teleported there.
