the different races in Nexuiz: cyborgs, mutants, various aliens, etc....

or do you think there should be one major intergalactic arms manufacturer? the Electro already has the "AT Corp" brand. i wouldnt mind nice new polished weapon models.

btw, wasnt there someone writing a Nexuiz story?

I made a thread a while ago, I can't remember if I actually pitched my story idea or not, but I definitely brought up the idea of having a cohesive backstory. But I got promptly turned down by some people who didn't think the story mattered

i didnt bother much either, but im starting to like that idea and i dont think theres any reason not to. and it could help focusing on a consistent style, so modders and mappers have a better understanding whats "nexuiz-ish".

Having a story can really help in the design process. I think the first thing we should do is establish whether Nexuiz is an intergalactic war or a gladiator type death game. If we have a coherent story then modelers might become more interested, because then they can imagine the possibilities.

I'm going to start up a separate thread for us to discuss story ideas, then

I think modeller's and moders should be most interesstet in the game right now ... cause there isnt any real story and other things ... the imaginations are free at all ... Map, character and weapondesign are free of limmits ... Sure some story would be a nice thing ... but nexuiz is some deathmatchgame in its base ... and this kind of games dont need a story in my eyes ... with the game in its state everyone can imagine by himself ... i think thats a good thing ...

I hate games that fix everythin for the player ... Most of today games are showing somethin to the player ... and this is ever limmited ... the room for self imaginations is to small in most of cases ... in nexuiz there isnt that kind of corners ... everyone can feel free at all ... modding mapping and jumping around in the game ...

I don't think it really matters about a story, as long as everything is cool.

As far as weapons, I'd like to see a couple of current-day weapons, an M16 that feels powerful and a shotgun basically. Those weapons have been popular since Action Quake. They're always fun, and could just replace the models for existing weapons in Nexuiz.

Alternately something I've always thought would be cool would be like a nail assault rifle, that sort of looks a bit like the front of the plasma rifle from Doom combined with the rear of the hyper-blaster from Quake 2. And it would pump out massive nails that did loads of damage and you could see sticking out of the walls etc.

The thing about Nexuiz which people like is that it doesn't have any weapons that are too similar of the current-day weapons. And such ones wouldn't fit the style. If you want an example look up Doc's "Nex" gun for is mod (somewhere on this forums ), it's more realistic but wouldn't fit the style of Nexuiz.

I do like the idea of the nail gun idea. Would be nice if Crylink was replaced by such a thing. If I recall correctly, Aliens versus Predator had similar gun which I loved to use.

Yeah, a little bit like that meaty futuristic assault rifle in HL2, except with heavy duty nails, that would be great. And if when the nails hit they made a nice gruesome sound and spat blood everywhere that would be fun.

Sounds like the nail gun in FEAR- the 10mm HV Penetrator

Yeah, it also reminded me of the FEAR nail gun. Although I never played the game I've seen the weapon in action.

I just did a search for FEAR nailgun on youtube.

You guys are right. That weapon is awesome. Mine would be multi-shot though so at least it'd be a little different.

I think it could work something like.. when you land nails into an enemy, it pushes them back a little, but if they're close to a wall, it ends up pinning them to it. And then after you've killed them, you can see them nailed to the wall and all your nails sticking out of them (maybe just use existing animation frames that look the most appropriate for being nailed to the wall). That'd be nice.

Here's some good weapon ideas we can use

lol at that pen-knife on the front of the M16.

Actually I think a chainsaw bazooka would be pretty funny. You could fire them and they could stick into people, spreading blood everywhere.

By the way, nice signature. lol

Ivan, do you happen to frequent the Q2E community?

lol cant stop laughing at this one

It's a brilliant render, but I think it's a little pedetrian. I'd rather have something that looks a bit more powerful/ and a bit more related to modern day weapons. Still, it looks cool, and much more impressive than the current one.

bump, i think this thread is interesting

*bump*

Ow! My head!

I have a new idea for a wepon but i don't think you will like it

how do you add pictures in a post because i want to show you what the sonic gun looks like

It appears you already figured out how to insert smileys. Inserting images is almost as easy. All you need is an image host, like Nexuiz Ninjaz, for example. Choose the image/s you want to upload and click on "Start Uploading!". If the upload was successful, you should get some codes that you can use on websites or forums, like this one. Copy the appropriate code, in this case you should prefer the "Thumbnail for forums" code to save everyone's bandwidth.

i think there should be Dual Wielding for certain Guns, or a new pistol that can be dual wield. i'll sketch some ideas

i have an idea for a dual weild gun! they are futuristic looking desert eagles



srry about the size LOLz

heres a url

could somebody do a blender thingie on this please!

@KillaGrunt: First of all, narrow your posts... second of all... good try but not Dual wielding Material!

@KillaGrunt DONT quad-post. the edit button is there for a reason. fixed.

i dont even know how i did that. that picture is of the sonic gun. it would be like a energy rocket launcher.

that wepon is not dualweild

http://infinitycommunity.wikispaces.com/design

It will look different

when i got onto nexuiz last night i noticed that a different nexuiz N came up when it was loading.i also noticed the difference in the shotgun,machinegun,and rocket launcher. Why!

did you add anything by yourself? if not, take a look into /dlcache for new files.
