[QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;40296060]There's different types of speedloaders, some hold more than others. Like this one holds 6:

Which is the amount you have in HL2, per....uuh....reload.
Also, people were just talking about [I]upping[/I] the ammo reserves on the Magnum, we shouldn't decrease it. Imo it's fine the way it is, but I'm not against giving it more, so long as it's not a lot more. But actually bringing it down? No.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure he means if you only have 5 bullets, the 6-round speed loader would only have 5 out of 6 filled.
-snip-
no he's saying when you've run out of all your reserve ammo barring 5, the 6 round speedloader should reflect to show that amount.
[QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;40296111]Why not use one that just holds 5 then? Or why even lower the amount of bullets?[/QUOTE]
I figure the distance between the bullets on a 6 round speedloader would be tighter than on a 5 round, making that improbable.
Well, if that's what you want, the speedloaders could be ditched in favor of a system similar to Firearms and Firearms Source where the rounds are loaded into the cylinder individually and it functions kinda like shotguns in every game ever. You could see each round being loaded and it'd reflect how many you've got left, but that'd be a pretty big change to a core gameplay mechanic and I dunno if they want to do that.

Eeeh, yeah, we don't want to change the core mechanics of HL2.
I think what we really need is to make Odessa the secret easter egg gun.
Let me guess: He shoots cabbages.
[QUOTE=Blade Rx69;40296838]Let me guess: He shoots cabbages.[/QUOTE]
No, Cubbages
Also, seeing as we're considering adding new scientist characters to change up the story line a little, why don't we have Odessa shoot down the gunship with his bare hands and become your companion for the rest of the game? Also give him an evil twin brother to fight against with breen.

Make the RPG an Odessa that shoots his bare hands at things, and then after each shot more slide out of his sleeves.
[QUOTE=A_Pigeon;40297193]why don't we have Odessa shoot down the gunship with his bare hands and become your companion for the rest of the game? [/QUOTE]
And for added effect, make him talk like an offensive black stereotype for some reason.

That's to low res to be in game. And what is that shit going on with the vine there. Just redo the entire thing about 15 times.
[B]So I got bored and decided to work on a better logo for the mod...[/B]

[sub]The 'E' is actually the Greek letter Sigma, which I thought was more fitting than a regular, English 'E'.[/sub]

How about lower case epsilon ε? Epsilon would fit better because it represents the english alphabet 'E', whereas sigma is 'S'.

In mathematical terms, the logo reads 'the sum of squared'.

well lambda doesn't represent 'A', soo
[editline]16th April 2013[/editline]
plus the sigma looks cooler
Last progress update. The next version will be the finished one. (I will add more nuts and bolts)
Anything I should change?

Isn't this texture never used in HL2 games though, if I'm not mistaken? I've only seen it in HL2 leak and CS:S.

I was gonna suggest you change the 2 for an E, or Sigma, but then I wasn't too sure that would tell people it was specifically Half-life 2 that was enhanced.
Should use this style of headcrab ;D
if HL2 was a horror game..

don't tell me i spent time for nuthin
It's a little too horrific, I never thought to Headcrabs to be so fat and rottenish looking. If it was textured it might be different though.

no because then Kliener would have beaten Lamarr to death before Gordon even showed up
[QUOTE=Akasori;40298834]How about lower case epsilon ε? Epsilon would fit better because it represents the english alphabet 'E', whereas sigma is 'S'.[/QUOTE]
Because epsilon ε, doesn't really fit with the style of the HL logo. Sigma is similar to the lambda logo, in terms of the sharp angles, where as epsilon is too rounded, and looks more like a backwards 3 than an 'E'.
[QUOTE=DwarfOverlord;40299316]In mathematical terms, the logo reads 'the sum of squared'.[/QUOTE]
So? HL2's logo is 'Wavelength squared', that's not much better.
i just don't think it looks good, the sigma doesn't fit the logo at all
[QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;40301076]So? HL2's logo is 'Wavelength squared', that's not much better.[/QUOTE]
are you aware that they used a lambda because it represents a constant in radioactive decay formulas, not just because using greek letters to replace english letters looks cool
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;40301140]i just don't think it looks good, the sigma doesn't fit the logo at all[/QUOTE]
The logo is a giant web 2.0 mess, it has a texture, [I]a drop shadow[/I], text gradient highlights and bloom. The actual HL2 logo was flat and minimal, which was a very forward thinking design back in 2004, as it's artist probably knew that gradient highlight photoshop party fad wouldn't last very long.
Instead of taking the original design and slapping tons of make up on it, add to it and make changes with care like you did with the mod itself.

Gave it a try. Never really did stuff like this.
