WWHC-Diaz + (NEW!) The VR Missions (help wanted!)

wildweasel · Post by **wildweasel** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 6:40 pm

The project: a remake of my "Agent Diaz" weapon mod. I've done some things to it to make things a little bit more unique and fun, adding more differentiation between some of the weapons, removing others entirely, and adding new enemies.

NOTE. THIS MOD USES CUSTOM STATE LABELS AND SBARINFO, AND THUS REQUIRES ZDOOM 2.2.0 OR GZDOOM 1.1.0.

Would it be too difficult if you went through the Deus Ex method of displaying the inventory? It'd look cool and fit somewhat (keyword on somewhat) on Strife.

...Whoa. Wild weasel is #1 again in weapon modders category for me. Good job.
By the way, I know it's a beta and all, but I think it would be cool if you could guide your rockets with the RPG via where you are looking(doubt it's possible or worth the effort, just an idea). But who gives a shit what I think, darn good mod you got there.

That could be possible with some ACS hackery, making the rocket guided, and Thing_Hate it to go to your RPGPoint, that would work well! But I'm not sure if Thing_Hate works on seekermissiles.

I think you should ask Cutman.

Not worth the effort, if you ask me. I could make the RPG rocket a seeker missile, but I won't bother hacking around to make it a guided rocket.

Very fond of using the iron sights on the rifle, but is it me or does it seem like using it is a tad bit pointless? (Also, it'd be cool to upgrade the bolt rifle to the scoped version)

Another bug is the raising bug, but I think you know that.

Hud idea is cool, very quake-like.

The ironsights allow you to do more damage with the Mauser. Normally it only does half as much damage as it would with ironsights.

And i'm sure it's probly more accurate. There 's also a slight bit of jitter with the revolver's alternate attack frames too.

Hmm... I've wanted to do a custom hud for awhile, but never got around to it. Unfortunately, I'm pretty busy as it is (I think I'm going to slide Metroid Prime 3 to the side for a week just to knock some things off the list of stuff that really needs to be taken care of, which is really saying something.)

If there really isn't anybody else willing, I can try and make the time though.

Nice! I really like the big rifle and the reloading system finally creates a use for melee altfires... I'd help with the HUD, but given the hackneyed mess that constitutes HD's score I'm probably not the best person to go to for HUDMessage-related things...

Would it be possible to make the ammo mags/clips as usable inventory items thus skipping the all-at-once status bar altogether?

This is really good, great work weasel, this is your best yet, love the mauser, although you have a funny way of making it, many different coloured png's.

2 things,

I should be credited for minor sprite edits, (the ones i did to the chopping hand)

And the clip dropping sounds are from mafia not half life/half life 2.

They are my only 2 nitpicks

the credit list in diaz-sg.lmp hasn't been updated yet.

Curious, why no use of the additional frames for the Mauser? Also, the kick frames for the powered up melee seem to happen later more than sooner. If it was intended as so, thats cool, but it feels more like a high kick now. Also, another interesting question would be to wonder if you're using authentic kickback?

Anyways, keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see what the other key 5 weapon is (I already know whats key 7s

)

Authentic kickback? You mean like in Hideous Destructor? I've considered it, but the underlying scripts are so complicated that I'm rather afraid to mess with it for fear that I'll screw something up and be unable to fix it.

Post by **Ryan Cordell** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 8:41 pm

Complicated? Hehe, not exactly. You'll have to figure out the right values to ACS_Execute if you're triggering the recoil script from your weapon, but otherwise, there's nothing you can screw up with it.
