The Death Note - Developers

I'm also strongly considering something, I may post my death base function so people can make their own deaths before I release the SWEP. See, each death is handled by one separate function, and it's got a simple setup with a spot to put your death information and such. It's like a fill-in-the-blank, but with more creativity. What do you guys think? Should I let people write their own deaths before the release, and then I add the ones I like and credit everyone? I will be adding a read-me file telling the user how to make their own death causes for it so it can be edited later on. Anyway, it's just a thought so tell me what you all think.

This is great idea! Maybe this will stop stupid death causes ideas :)

Yeah, it might.

Is this finished? Just wondering because there's a Death Note gamemode in the making and they haven't made the actual Death Note yet.

[QUOTE=Amun-Ra;13231069]Is this finished? Just wondering because there's a Death Note gamemode in the making and they haven't made the actual Death Note yet.[/QUOTE] That's because this is the deathnote that they're using.

Huh, thought that they didn't even have the Death Note started.

[QUOTE=Amun-Ra;13249754]Huh, thought that they didn't even have the Death Note started.[/QUOTE] It has been started! This deathnote here, is the one they are using in the gamemode. The progress on this = the progress on theirs. Understand?

New pictures! TheJ89 helped me make a lightning bolt effect! [img]http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1460/gmconstruct0047dx9.jpg[/img] It looks much cooler in action, I'll try and get a video up soon.

[img]http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5015/gmconstruct0052bi7.jpg[/img] Added some more effects.

Update Video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1os8eAATyY[/media] Love it? I'm planning on adding a better impact effect.

Nice effect! Maybe add a semi-transparent explosion with a yellowy tinge for the impact effect?

Yet another breakthrough! The death note now has the whole "if another death is written within this amount of time, it will do that instead of a heart attack." I'm very happy about it. Also, I have a Death by NPC now! This is where a swarm of man hacks kill you and then fly away. I'll have to make a video. :D

Manhacks don't work, they are too avoidable. Try something like several combine elites with Annabelles shoot the guy down.

[QUOTE=noobcake;13284548]Manhacks don't work, they are too avoidable. Try something like several combine elites with Annabelles shoot the guy down.[/QUOTE] The player can't move though.

Ah, good thinking. I still like the Annebelle idea more though.

I got my drowning effects fixed! I still need to work on the lightning effects and make a cool effect for the heart attack.

Here's a preview off all the deaths I have so far. Not all of these deaths are complete mind you, but now I have something to show for all of this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl3OcAHzrIw[/media]

Wow, I can hardly wait until this is released! But was you dying before the car hits you a one off?

[QUOTE=tepholman;13325171]Wow, I can hardly wait until this is released! But was you dying before the car hits you a one off?[/QUOTE] No, the player dies from the physics. For some reason the player flies forward faster than the car does. I'm not sure why. Also, I'm still open for suggestions. Since the last 19 pages are littered with spam and suggestions, and I need to focus on the lua, could someone do me a favor and compile all the suggestions that have been given so far? If nobody wants to then I'll just have to get to it later, but it would be very helpful right now!

I'm unbanned! Hooray!

Prahaps it might be in the best interest of the players to introduce a "Just Kira" admin option, in which kira would be unable to access the names of any innocent players on the server ( For example, anyone who has not killed another player ) So far the video looks very good however the drowning maybe an issue, what happens if the player is above water when they are commanded to drown?

The drowning is awesome.

I'm still hoping someone can compile all the suggestions so far for me. Also as a note, the death note also allows you to enter a death first, and then whatever player you write in the note next will die of that cause. Just like in the manga!!!

I'm working on the "death by seizure" now. Fucking hilarious.

Haha, I want to see that!

I also adapted it to the lightning death so the body looks charred and flails around.

Ha! Epic.
