Modified server?

Postby C.Brutail » Fri Mar 10, 2006 11:03 am

I was playing on a server a few minutes ago, and I noticed some strange modifications. Not just the physics were altered, but the graphics too. The mortar had an electro trail, and If you have picked up a weapon or an item, a green transparent model reamined, like on this picture.

Is this 1.5.1 feature, or somebody made some modifications?

I've seen this server too. I think it'c called All Out War or something. I like it. I would like to know who has done it as some of it could be contributed back into Nexuiz.

I found this green transparent model annoying after a while, from big distances it just looks like a normal model. :(

And it makes it really hard to tell whether the strength powerup is there or not...

And if you notice, the guy running the server always wins :(

Excellent mods game wise though. Highly improves game play.

Yes, that is my server, which is named "All Out War" and has my modification I have labeled "Spidflisk". Thanks for pointing out the strength thing; I have the bloom effect on an insane level so it is easy for me to tell if the strength is there or not. The problem is applying a colormod on the strength model does not color it; I assume it has something to do with the skin applied, but unfortunately the Darkplaces QC extension for skin is only an integer definition and not a full string.

I will be releasing my mod's source code under the GPL very soon. I have commented everywhere in the code where I made changes; my only askance is that, for the most part, all the new modifications remain at my server, since I like the small amount of adrenaline of presenting new things.

Welcome to the community, it's alway good to see someone to be creative ;)

The idea about the reamining transparent weapon is good, but you should try it to make more transparent and with another color. As I said, it's quite confusing some times (as you can see I'm playing withouth bloom or any other fancy effects).

The altered physics are... hmm... weird. Maybe a bit tweaking here too would improve more. Keep on with the good work!
