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.

What's the nick of the admin?

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!
