Frontier??? - Garry's Mod - Facepunch Forum

All our life support models have the plugs built in. But we also have separate air/energy plugs specifically for custom devices. While it'd be preferable for the SBEP team to update all their models with plugs, you can script entities to spawn with plugs attached [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5459632/frontier_testmap30006.jpg]like this.[/url] That entity is a test entity that produces an unlimited (or some really high value, can't remember) supply of energy and it's a box model textured black with a plug attached. The SBEP team can do the same thing with their devices.

Make sure the LS models themselves cant have thier models changed. It pisses me off to see people flying around in tiny fighters with 8 fusion generators resized to a .25x.25 cube.

The LS models are already decently sized as of yet, there's nothing like the SB2 Fusion reactors...although I agree with you, it does get annoying, especially when you've spent all that time re-arranging things in your ship so they all fit nicely and everything's balanced.

[QUOTE=Slash559;22884156]I guess you could use them, but their existing scripting wouldn't work. I'm against that kind of thing personally, takes the creativity out of building and organizing life support. (Just my opinion, not saying it couldn't be added third party.) I'm an old school kind of guy, I love my obscure trainstation props.[/QUOTE] Oh and I agree totally, I just love my ship to bits....which is often how it ends up. That being said I could always rebuild...bigger...and better....faster....hopefully stronger considering I crash every 10 minutes, seriously.

Those ropes/plugs are really cool, every-time I see them i just.....oh god i cant wait to play around with those! Also! slightly of topic, Loki!...no i dont want to see you eat your toe nails. I was curious about your research into jump-drives? I thought you made some really good statements.

[QUOTE=Galoi;22889075]I was curious about your research into jump-drives? I thought you made some really good statements.[/QUOTE]Hit me up in PM and i'll answer any questions I can.

I'm guessing you guys have been thinking about this already, but here's an idea: Helmet HUD.Just hide the regular HUD so that the screen is wiped clean, and add some clear black space on the bottom left and/or right side of the inside of the helmet. Then make a nifty new HUD in Lua! You can either attach it to the helmet prop, or give it a powering-up animation after the helmet has been closed. I think it'd really deepen immersion a whole lot from using the standard HL2 HUD. [Editline]g[/editline] Typing all that on a phone made my thumb hurt :(

nvm

I'm a little curious about if you guys have created a new W.M.D or not. The beam cannon, while powerful, doesn't really count. Maybe a new nuke that doesn't kill the propwelds of everything on the map like tetabonita's nuke, hopefully spruced up a bit. If you do decide to remake Tata's nuke, I have a little inspiration for you. [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwlNPhn64TA&feature=related[/URL]

[QUOTE=Slash559;22907743]Already in the works.[/QUOTE] And there goes my pants......hopefully i can trade them in for spacepants in the near future...

I love you guys. In a real manly way.

Yes, man-hugs all around. I wonder what the hud will look like? Anyone have any inspirational huds lying around?

What is a realistic ETA for this? I've been mad about it ever since it was mentioned by Daacropolypse on the SBEP thread... (Please no 'in a million years/when loki posts that vid of his feet/when the devs say so')

(Please no 'in a million years/when loki posts that vid of his feet/when the devs say so')[/QUOTE] Antlion, it's when the Devs say so. I can guarantee you it's not done yet, and won't be done for a while. But that's all I can explain. A realistic ETA is, if people keep asking, probably the same amount of time it will be before Episode 4 comes out.

Those lasers are bloody well awesome. I can't wait to make turrets out of them. What's the range of them?

[QUOTE=antlion01;22923858](Please no 'in a million years/when loki posts that vid of his feet/when the devs say so')[/QUOTE]How about "when its done". Stop being a demanding ass, it will be out when its out. People like you are the death of projects.

[QUOTE=Telepethi;22935316]So Loki about those toenails...[/QUOTE] I can provide 9. That enough?

Sure. In the video you have to prove that it's you somehow. Hold up a sign saying LokiSan or something.

Space brothel.

Except there are no wimminz on the internet...what the crap makes you think they'd be in space?

Any chance on different suits providing different levels of movement (at the risk of carrying less air). That "question" was more like a suggestion really

[QUOTE=DaApocalypse;22940844] *triple nipple* Space women. In SPACE.[/QUOTE] That's interesting I guess.

[QUOTE=Craeden;22943703]Any chance on different suits providing different levels of movement (at the risk of carrying less air). That "question" was more like a suggestion really[/QUOTE] There is one suit, really. That suit has multiple attachments. There is no upgrade that reduces the base amount of air, but there is one that increases it, among other things.
