That doesn't really sound like what I'm going for, the level master is going to have no physical way of harming the players directly.

Interesting idea, Cutty. :) Reminds me of the Source mod Zombie Master.

Question though: what happens if the Level Master places the exit in an unreachable area?

Question though: what happens if the Level Master places the exit in an unreachable area?

Well it seems the level master is actually playing as a character when he puts the exit rune at that point, while everyone else is frozen.

Anyways this sounds extremely fun actually. Me wants to play!

While the level master is in exit spawning mode, he acts like a regular marine so he shouldn't be able to put it anywhere too nasty.

That doesn't really sound like what I'm going for, the level master is going to have no physical way of harming the players directly.

What I mean is for the level master to have all the points of the monsters and more time to spawn whatever monsters he feels like instead of having to rely on the monsters in the level. For example, instead of a level that contains 20 demons, he instead chooses to leave a cyberdemon by the exit key (using the energy of the picked up demons).

Oooh sorry I get you now. I don't know if it's a good idea keeping the other players waiting but I might add a way to remove monsters and regain whatever they cost.

Second World War mod - eastern front. Just some weapon testing. The weapons shoot real like bullets meaning that they are affected by gravity and actually HAS travel time. Sadly, youtube's quality is not good enough to see the bullets in flight.

Cool stuff Mr T, just wondering - how did you do the bullet whizz sound? Invisible rail shafts? Jump if closer?

Sadly, youtube's quality is not good enough to see the bullets in flight.

If the bullets are traveling fast enough you shouldn't be able to see them unless they are tracers. You hear bullets more than you see them.

Edit:

If the bullet plays the whizzing sound all the time with the right sound attenuation properties, you might only hear bullets if they are really close to you. I've experimented a bit with sound attenuation and it seems like it can replicate the bullet whizzing effect properly if set up right.

I have the original video which has not been distorted by youtube and bullets can be seen there. BTW about the whiz sound: The sound is played on the projectile's frame with 1 tic. The trick is in the SNDINFO lump. You have to set up the whiz sounds to not to be interrupted by each other or by themselves(low frame duration) using the $singular command and playing with $rolloff.

Working on trying to make a crouching set for the Fist Marine, but it's really not going well. One it's done, I can make a crouching set for the RevRocket, Land Mine and maybe Knife Marines.

[StarScream]

[.+:icytux:+.]
