GMod - What are you working on? October 2017 (#74)

[ralle105]

That's pretty cool. What happens when holes overlap?

[QUOTE=LukeDell;52760181]Thanks for the tips on my tips, changed the size a lil' and the text color(s), and managed to add some icons that can have different colors as well.
Ignore randomness of positions/timings, etc...

So - IMO - there are a few things you should do here, and in the end, consider what I say in general when designing UI.

As little credit as people give it, having proper equidistant padding is so essential for a professional look.
A good example where you could apply this is with the large heart in the bottom right of the notification.
The bottom padding of the heart isn't a uniform distance compared to any other sort of element on the notification,
and kind of looks a big confusing. Same to say for the padding on the left and top of the text ( I assume you plunked in a DLabel and enabled wrap ),
the padding isn't a uniform distance to any other elements.

Different topic - I'm not sure what font you used, but for whatever reason, your line height looks way to
large ( the space between each line of text ), but I believe it's because you used some random font. You
may want to look up some proper sans-serif UI font. Lastly, I can respect text drop shadows, but you really
have to use them in moderation - especially against a transparent background, as it starts to look visually
noisy and cluttered. You've also seemingly made the drop shadows almost an entire letter's distance to the right,
which looks extremely bizarre. That's about all I got for now.

Thanks! At the moment since I only just got the 3D bit to work, it looks as you'd expect:

However, without the black bit, [URL="https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/862861700725626055/D2CCC546E734CF4F292D311619596D81C9D64A0C/"]it looks way more seamless[/URL] (if the holes don't clip through every single wall in the whole map)

Finished the Battlefront UI menu! Gonna do some polishing and start working on the other tabs.

Google do that so sueing people for stealing their logo is a lot easier and cheaper.

[zamboni]

it's happening again...

obviously not done yet, but it's definitely 1,000x better than my first battlefront HUD already.

I don't really think anyone's confused - it doesn't have to be perfectly symmetrical in order to look good.

However based on what Koolaid said that user needed things spaced out properly so they didn't have a lot of emptiness.

Just a model preview really, never really took to the whole drawing and creating gui side of things, so just set out to try and make a semi decent preview and settings tab etc. Background rotates with the model as well, to give a 3d feel.

[zamboni]

finally finished the radar.
added the side embellishment and the North/South indicators
has a guaranteed accurate scale, and the barely-visible grid behind it accurately reflects distances.
thicker lines are 1,000 units (configurable), and the zoom of the grid adjusts depending on the scale you set. The sector highlights will also account for the scaled distance.

gDisasters has over 40 unique particle effects of tornadoes for 9 different tornado types. Here are two of them:

ingame footage please i don't believe you

[B]EDIT:[/B] come on man, those sparks have to be from Action Essentials and can't possibly be recreated in source without footage being converted to a material

[QUOTE=MPan1;52772454]ingame footage please i don't believe you[/QUOTE]

Open boob and send vagana
I think it looks outstanding by the super dof, but damn, that illumination it's just TOO good for being source

What's the FPS like with one of those on screen?

[ubre]

[QUOTE=txike;52773178]What's the FPS like with one of those on screen?[/QUOTE]

The quality, effects and camera movements make me think this was rendered, but everything mentioned can be done with lua so I'm not really sure. You would need effects for the smoke, the embers and the fire plus it looks like it emits light, that will remove A TON of fps. I'm sure lots of computers can handle having one but I'm still a bit skeptical.

Working on a GMOD Tower like gamemode, working on player 'suites' at the moment.

Today, I've learnt how annoying cubemaps & dynamic lights are.

[DrVrej]

[QUOTE=txike;52773178]What's the FPS like with one of those on screen?[/QUOTE]

It's actually not as much as you would think, the FPS only goes down by about 1-2 frames

[SneakySquid]

You can test it yourself when it's released

Well considering he's posted a gif of it in action, what would he even have to gain by faking it.

Lighting looks sick, if it looks like that unedited I could definitely see DisasterRP becoming a thing.

[QUOTE=txike;52773968]I really don't believe that.[/QUOTE]

Yeah it goes from like 5 fps to 3 fps, no biggie.

[Matsilagi]

I trust him tho, Particle Systems (PCFs not Lua particles), if well done, doesn't consume much FPS.
