Everything looks great dsd, awesome job.

#62

No need to browbeat this guy about updates here, the other project he’s working on is pretty damn demanding.

Also, that new shotty god fucking fuck that’s nice

#63

Can u tell us about other project?

#64

dsd, glad to hear from you and that you’re still working on this project. It looks even more fantastic.

One suggestion is to make muzzle flashes on the magnum, pistol and MP5 a little brighter and more towards yellow-white in color instead of orange. Make them more like your shotgun muzzle flash color.

Won’t start my next play-through until I have your finished mod installed. No pressure, take your time. In the meantime, I’ll sink some more hours into System Shock 2.

#65

Not bad.

Gluon gun stream shouldn’t have sparkle-orbs coming out of it. It’s supposed to be a focused stream. Might be better to save the orbs for the impact site.

The smoke from the magnum is a little odd and would look better if it was wider the farther it is from the gun because of diffusion.

#66

Pretty awesome. One suggestion is to maybe add the smaller “rings” around the stream that the classic HL1 beam had?

I thought those made it look really cool.

#67

you should at least release the improvements that increase FPS in particle heavy events every time you finish one of those and wait until the gun/impact effects are perfect before releasing those, also the pack itself is looking amazing

#68

yeah looking forward to this release good work

#69

It does. Look closely at it in the video, there’s a small loop around the beam.

Keep up the good work, good sir. I look forward to seeing more.

#70

Any chance you can have a go at making the teleport orbs a bit more dynamic?

Just improve the look and not so retro

and in orange

#71

I was actually the most impressed by the teleporter orbs in BM. They look exactly like the old sprite but “real”.

#72

Yeah they were a great recreation of the original but I really wanted them to look more dynamic somehow and brought more up to date… Well if any improvement can be made would be interesting to see

I Just found a portal orb improvement on gamebanana

They look real cool

Is this your work dsd?

#73

I prefer BM’s tbh.

#74

Indeed.

#75

Bm’s porbs are perfect.

#76

Hey, that’s mine! Naw, :slight_smile: actually I found a texture from Portal and tried that in BM. Planned the green one to be blue but there are green lights around it so it doesn’t look good which causes me to go back to green. Thanks for saying they’re cool. :wink:

#77

How’s the mod development going? Think you’ll be able to give us your first public release as a Christmas present? I’ll leave cookies and milk by the fireplace for you on Christmas eve.

It’d be a nice stocking stuffer!
