[QUOTE=tehstrelok;44765014]well, the smg and the pistol, before I knew they had real life counter parts when I was younger, they looked very alienesque to me.[/QUOTE]
when i saw the e3 video, the tritium sight on the old shotgun was enough for me to think it was alien.
[QUOTE=gk99;44767069]TBH I still don't think the SMG looks like a real gun.
There's just something about it.[/QUOTE]
It is a bit bulkier then the real MP7.

this mod's tracer effect is just brilliant[/QUOTE]
i like how it looks on the AR2 because it's a strange alien weapon and they can be more stylish with it, but other than that i think the effect is far too strong. it looks more like you're shooting ropey strands of evaporating goo than an actual gunshot.
Quick questions:
1. Are any actual gameplay-based changes being made to the weapons? Some of them lack versatility in later chapters, and only really see use when alternatives are low on ammo (although thinking it over, it is mainly just the pistol, and even then it's still useful for limited non-projectile sniping)
2. What is the stance of the Ichy? I know that the devs aren't trying to recreate HL2 beta content - but I suppose since they are already coded to act as border control / as hostiles in general, would it be easy to just dump them in cliffside waters? Since just falling into the water and dying instantly is a bit weird, and you're going to die anyway. And since it'll be low-lighting conditions, probably wont be necessary to remake the model. Win/win situation, but the devs know more than I do on the subject

it's always either from massive heights or leeches

Most of the heights that kill you from that would genuinely kill you in real life, water acts like a wall of bricks if hit when going fast enough.

The Ichthyosaur was cut for a very simple reason.
Play testers would swim out and because it would take so long for the Ichthyosaur to come attack them they would get frustrated when it killed them seconds later and couldn't understand why they were dying, what they were doing wrong and why they couldn't swim out.
So they replaced it with the leeches that attack quickly, viciously and the damage scales rapidly so you learn the lesson.

Also IIRC a lot of AI bugs. Which I don't think would be worth it to fix.

It probably would have taken a while too.

why would the dying part be hardcoded to a timer? that makes no sense
why wouldn't it be a regular npc (that dynamically spawns and despawns in a volume) like normal?
at the beginning of water hazzard there is a pond with a ramp that you have to lift using hollow blue barrels, when I first played the game, I was so terrified to go into that water because it was dark and I saw bubbles coming from the bottom, after my experience with itchyosaurs in hl1, I though I was gonna encounter one in there, it was so creepy.

Fun fact. Falling into 2 units (1.5 inches) of water negates all fall damage.

just like using a slope surface to "surf"
[QUOTE=Stiffy360;44773544]Fun fact. Falling into 2 units (1.5 inches) of water negates all fall damage.[/QUOTE]
Is that capable of being done into something like 16 units(12 inches)?
[QUOTE=Falkok15;44775181]Is that capable of being done into something like 16 units(12 inches)?[/QUOTE]
it's not something worth changing because HL2 doesn't exactly have a ton of long drops followed by 1.5 inches of water below.
[QUOTE=glitchvid;44770182]Most of the heights that kill you from that would genuinely kill you in real life, water acts like a wall of bricks if hit when going fast enough.[/QUOTE]
Yeah if anything, we should just move the "trigger hurt" to ontop of the coast water and make it do 300dmg or something, so hitting the water makes you splat.
Do you guys need reference pictures for blood or anything?

I think /b/ has enough of that
[QUOTE=Stiffy360]Fun fact. Falling into 2 units (1.5 inches) of water negates all fall damage.[/QUOTE]
I think a lot of games actually share that little law of gaming physics. When ever I have to jump from a significant height I look for a puddle of water to land in because I expect to take no damage.
It doesn't work as often as it used to...
[QUOTE=Falkok15;44777347]Do you guys need reference pictures for blood or anything?[/QUOTE]
Could you go out and take pictures of a burnt and rotting corpse, we need refs for the Charples.
[QUOTE=Snood_1990;44780049]Could you go out and take pictures of a burnt and rotting corpse, we need refs for the Charples.[/QUOTE]
misread Charples as Cheaples
which brings me back a bit
we're gonna need some cheaple references to recreate an ultra hi-res definition cheaple texture

my odessa's been wearing down.
What if the current HL2 citizen model is used for Cheaple?

They already have all beta testers they need, and there's really not anything to test right now as far as I'm aware.
(Great first post, by the way.)
