Only 9 pages since Saturday? I'm impressed.

Apparently on 711chan, faggot wordfilters to Beekeeper. Not funny in itself but for someone in on the joke, I'm sure it would be.

Link to imageshack properly or use a different host, clicking that link resized my browser window to 320x240 and dragging it back to where it was is annoying when you don't use fullscreen.

LURK sounds awesome not sure I will like the lack of HUD but I will give it a try before trying to change it

[QUOTE=cjone2;22600176]LURK sounds awesome not sure I will like the lack of HUD but I will give it a try before trying to change it[/QUOTE] Yeah, it sounds great, only thing I don't like (and I should be able to figure out how to remove) is the health bar replaced with the red screen thingy...

Yeah it seems like it just wont work out, but hey I'm open to new features.

[QUOTE=Amez;22600402]Yeah it seems like it just wont work out, but hey I'm open to new features.[/QUOTE] It works fine, however in terms of quality control I went over it again.

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;22600438]It works fine, however in terms of quality control I went over it again.[/QUOTE] Please reassure me that it's nothing like the one in AMK, where you get hit and then your screen fades through 3 shades of red in a second, and just generally looks awful.

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;22600438]It works fine, however in terms of quality control I went over it again.[/QUOTE] Excellent. Now all I need is some vodka and stalker immersion is complete.

[QUOTE=nige111;22600522]Please reassure me that it's nothing like the one in AMK, where you get hit and then your screen fades through 3 shades of red in a second, and just generally looks awful.[/QUOTE] I seem to have been hearing 'strawberry jam' a lot when people are referring to the HUD screens. The actual effect is much more like Bad Company 2 now. So it's now a much deeper burgundy. The entire screen becomes darker and inches from death yields 50% screen darkness, so that all the inbetween is enough visual indication of being wounded, and the level to which you're wounded without being too obtrusive, while still giving the effects of being partially incapacitated. It strongly reinforces the aspect of our medical application system of finding cover and applying medkits. People initially are wary of the dynamic hud system because it interferes with their awareness and visibility as opposed to a bar, but that's partially the goal, giving a much stronger sense of urgency to being wounded. I also just finished a pulsating effect for bleeding with the standard heartbeat audio queue. Luckily the pulsating animation is indicative enough that it can be almost entirely transparent without interfering with the health effects.

SMP has a weapon assemble and disassemble system... That is all...

[QUOTE=holdenmcclure;22598059]I'm not a guns fanatic like the ballistics people I work with, but weapon's overheating? I'm pretty sure that type of thing only happens to vulcan miniguns or something that's outputting a ridiculous amount of bullets. I'm glad you don't want people spraying and praying but don't you think placing artificial restrictions is a bit of a poor idea, rather then realistically enforced reasoning behind controlled bursts, like managing recoil? I mean the worst I've heard happening to a gun with sustained fire is the receiver melting off of the plastic receivers from H&K, and I don't think that fits what you're talking about.[/QUOTE] All guns overheat, simple physics, the blast from gunpoweder inside the Case, that ejects the round out the barrel in the first place, is very heavily condensed, HUGE amounts of heat is given out, if you take something like a XM8, for example. The old models, were known famously for there Barrels melting under sustained fire, because there were unable to vent out the heat. (Hence why some guns like the M16 and variants there of have small slits across the large Cylinder around the barrel itself, exact same principle as car brake discs. Except a bit different in execution. Anyway, all weapons can overheat, just some more than others, as a lot of guns nowadays are able to vent out any heat given off fast enough. AK's suffer from overheating also, but then, they were designed in the 40's and to this day still use the same base design, so its not suprising. Although they aren't as bad as the XM8, they still steam like a BITCH when put under supreme pressure from mass amounts of rounds being put through it. ANYWAY good to see progress on the new lurk man, I'm waiting for it. :D [b]On the topic of faction wars awhile ago[/b] I remember people asking if there was a merge of my Faction wars with Ol 2.2 well I saw this. [url]http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Faction_Wars_for_Oblivion_Lost_22;114431[/url] I've [b]NO IDEA[/b] how well it works, just passing it on. [editline]02:06PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Foxzone91;22601243]SMP has a weapon assemble and disassemble system... That is all...[/QUOTE] Indeed it does, it has a lot more than that also. :P

What do you mean by weapon disassemble system? Do you mean that you can take off the grenadelaunchers etc like in the vanilla, or entire parts of the gun itself?

So, that means that the weapon customization has a lot of options, right? I may try SMP 2.5 when it comes out, then.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;22601823]So, that means that the weapon customization has a lot of options, right? I may try SMP 2.5 when it comes out, then.[/QUOTE] Lemme see if I can find a few screens, give me a few mins.

Night Vision Scopes, Drum barrels instead of normal mags, SMP is going to be amazing, I mean, even more amazing...

Can only find some of the real old screens. When Lij is online, I'll ask for some more recent ones if I get time, but heres some old ones when it was real WIP for the scar before it was expanded.

Ah, good to know

LURK still takes priority for me, but I will still check out SMP sometime.

Also, I'm a little late but guns don't explode from firing a whole magazine full auto although I have heard stories of AK-47's catching on fire from firing about 6 magazines full auto one-after-another.

I never said explode, they just simply melt. Like the Old XM8.

They can melt, also some gun barrels can warp. [editline]11:23PM[/editline] It takes a lot to do that though.

Well, at such extreme heat, I guess it'd make the barrel heat up so much to make it become Flexible in some senses. But that'd have to a fucking huge amount of rounds being put out for that. Well Unless its an Old XM8. :P [editline]02:26PM[/editline] I want to mod in some "Cop Killer Bullets" I know they aren't real, but still, the concept for them is kinda cool.
