  • so for 2.3 you'll get this:

    Image

    Left handed mode - mirrors all output except 2D!

    Input of course gets reoriented back - so it plays just as if the map were mirrored and the weapon on the left side. Can be set by any player on the client, no server setting required!
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • how about repositioning just weapons ? and also for the g_shootfromcenter ? Is this done already ?

    Otherwise: nice new useless feature ^^

  • Repositioning weapons is not possible - the models are not suited for attaching the weapon to the left hand, so it would look really odd. The shot origin would either be wrong in first person view or be wrong for everyone else who can see you.

    In gl_mirror mode, everyone will see you shooting with your right hand, and you will see everyone using his left hand :)

  • Hey, it isn't THAT useless... it's an impressive way to find out how left handed people must feel in our right handed world... :P

  • However, I won't make a similar feature for the other coordinate axis... handwalkers aren't as common as left handed people ;)

  • Maybe someone should make a mod that replaces the standard grapple ball with a rubber chicken with a pulley :D?

  • 4m wrote:is there a feature to invert textures yet?


    No, and not really worth implementing. Anyone can do that by putting a glsl/default.glsl file in his Nexuiz installation...

    maybe I'll make one for this purpose after the 2.3 release.

    That weird texture filter just posted now is actually an accidental feature of a contrast boost feature, which is meant to replace gamma on systems where gamma doesn't work (but it comes at a small price: slightly less fps).

    Gamma:

    Contrast boost:

    Feeding bad values to the contrast boost yields the weird rendering with a threshold filter :)
