Scion modifications and image and design and such tomfoolery

[bb1]

I'd also like to see any new Scion ships actually morph like a Scion ship...  not a 'transformer' type animation but a true vertex animation.

...Huh?

I can do that. I also plan to tweak some of the old transforming ones to have just enough vertex animation to chrome.

I've already made a new scion unit with that technique for the CP.

Listen to me, Ironmaiden. In case you haven't got it yet, where the player fights is NOT an important question. It is entirely IRRELEVANT. It has not yet been decided.

Drop it before I lock the topic.

-Av where have you been ? BBB found a way to 'fake' vertex animation a while ago...

In fact Nielk1 was going to convert an old unit from ULER thats being used in my rec-variant so it used vertex animation. Good thing too because the animation it comes with isn't that nice .

Theres nothing to say we shouldn't start creating some new environments for the CP.

[Mr X]

Actually, if you do that me and Ahadley may start being guilty for not using them, and then we might end up trying to shoe-horn it in where it doesn't belong.

[iron maiden]

yes sir AHadley, shutting up.

Nothing fake about it. It's real.

I tried to dl the max script from the link posted a while ago, didn't seem to get anything useful.
Does anyone have it?

[Warfreak]

All it does is display the number of all Verts supposibly.

I tried it and it does nothing.

[Nielk1]

There was a script to display vert numbers? Right now I have to do it with a mesh editor and check each vert # 1 by 1.

[Warfreak]

Max7 natively displays the vert number of a single vert selected.

The script was SUPPOSED to display the vert number with more efficiency... still had to choose one at a time.(All it did was tell it to start at 0 instead of 1)

Leave new environments to the map makers. If it's not written into the story, then we can make them up. That's way down the road when we make the maps for the assets to be placed on. Not important quite yet.

[iron maiden]

you know i was just thinking, maybe it would be a good idea to extend the reach of the plasma stream, it would allow you a little more room to move when attack a fixed defense of other well defended structure or vehicle.

[Warfreak]

Judging by it's application in-game by many players, it's safe to assume that it is an assault weapon meant for weaker structures such as Extractors and Power Generators and not for the much more durable Gun Towers.

Plasma Stream is also something foolish to use against say a titan, mostly due to its own armor plating.

The balance of the weapon isn't its reach but its ammo consumption. You have to get up close to make the most use of all the ammo it uses anyway.
