Half-Life 2: Enhancement Mod (V5) - Games

Nothing says fuck you than posting two other WIPs of RPG's

Why we have many different version of RPG here?

That seems to be a problem with this thread, people keep posting different pictures of their models and it gets confusing as to who's actually working on the mod

Can we see new images of the pistol, MP7, AR2, SPAS-12, the gravity gun, the grenade and the bugbait?

[QUOTE=Juniez;42196389]i would like to interject [t]http://puu.sh/4rwwm.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Sorry if I'm nitpicking, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but the front end is a bit bigger, and doesn't have tapered edges like the original, at the very least making it that size the smaller flat 'cone' part should've been wiser at the bottom. Why's the wire going [I]into[/I] the RPG, and why do those "rings" not have the flat edge round the indentation in the RPG? The front piece is the main deal though, it really makes it look clunkier to me. The rest of it looks pretty great though, but the front end piece is what you see most, and if that isn't just right then it kinda throws off the rest of the gun. [QUOTE=Maestro Fenix;42199447]Can we see new images of the pistol, MP7, AR2, SPAS-12, the gravity gun, the grenade and the bugbait?[/QUOTE] There's no new models at the moment, or pictures, of the pistol, SMG, AR2, Spas-12, gravity gun, or grenade and bugbait, unless you mean pictures from Juniez?

Is there any progress beside the weapons/particles/insert recently discussed thing here?

[QUOTE=NeoDement;42198264]Matching texel density should be the priority, I think, not just making everything 2048 just coz it's big. Which is what I believed you were implying. Grenade/revolver/pistol should probably be about half the size of the rocketlauncher texture, depending on how they're UV'd. Though tbh I've never really known much about how to get (near) perfect texel density in games, do you just have to waste a bunch of UV space on certain items to get it right?[/QUOTE] I was agreeing with you so I went to check out the CS:GO weapon textures to back up your point, since they're a good example of current tech Source materials. However, all of the v_models are 2048x2048, even the grenades and C4. To counter this though, the w_models are all 512x512, which makes a lot of sense since you wouldn't be viewing them right up close.

[t]http://s23.postimg.org/4mzy9sjsb/12343.jpg[/IMG][/t][/QUOTE] It's looking better, but I wouldn't call it done just yet- it still needs that 'indentation' up front: [t]http://i.imgur.com/tkBUHqz.png[/t] The back end should look more like a cone than just a copy of the front end, the very front 'cap' could do with some molded in (on the high poly) blast cap like on the real life AT4s, along with the occasional scratch or even a more molded grip. The lower piece attached to the handle also needs a button, like in the picture above.

I never noticed until now that the HL2 Crossbow is a chunk of one of those square chamfered metal pipes cut up and welded together. This stuff: [img]http://newimg.globalmarket.com/filestorage/gallery/manufacturer/219/2606219/prod/0_1354945817355.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=A_Pigeon;42200716]Yeah, idk where you guys are getting the idea that there's wood on it.[/QUOTE] It's not really easy to spot unless you are carefully looking at it. The texture itself is what makes it difficult to be identified as metal. [t]http://i.imgur.com/cusP7NX.png[/t]

On the subject of texture resolution, why not use multiple textures like with the grenade? Two or three 512 textures seems like a decent compromise if not using 1024 textures on a model.

They work, but not for our purposes.

I'm just going to smile, pretend I understand & take your word for it. :smile:

imo the original crossbow lended itself well to the jerry-built nature of Resistance technology. The polished wood(?) crossbow looks something like the Xbow from BMS, which is not a bad thing per se, but in terms of its appearance relative to the rest of the stuff in the game, it does look pretty out of place. other than that, nice work everyone. sargent's rpg, though it's been a decade since he probably started work on it :v:, is certainly starting to look up. personally I think Juniez's iteration is good enough, if not better. the proportions are fine; it looks quite similar to the vanilla's dimensions.

[QUOTE=Juniez;42202851]I recognize the original material and choose to disregard it cause cause I like wood better[/QUOTE] Might I make a suggestion? Char the wood and pull back the specular in the places where it makes contact with the metal. I actually like your decision to use wood because it won't transfer the heat from the rebar like the old metal material would, meaning people could hold it. That being said, I'd still wear oven mitts or a HEV suit if I wanted to fire the HL2 Xbow :P Which brings me to this: is there gonna be a more convincing transition between unheated rebar and superheated rebar, I.e. not pulling it out of your pocket red hot *lol dick joke*? Also, when someone gets hit by it, will there be a scalding smokey effect to signify the cauterization of the wound instead of the stock *not stock anymore but still* blood hit? Maybe even a brief burst of fire in the area of contact to signify burning clothes?

Tbh if Juniez was just to just add some wires from the battery or dirty it up a tiny bit then it would fit in a bit more but personally I'd say it is perfect as it is.

So it's unheated when you pull it out and then takes a moment to heat up when connected to the heated rail.

what the fuck, the crossbow isn't made of wood? i've been living under a lie all this time

What the hell I always thought it was a block of wood and some metal brackets..
