[10:41] Thomus Keen: oh hey I need you to mess around with the rc3 dated 4 days ago (this is the one without all the new ammo yet)
[10:41] Thomus Keen: need to make sure there aren't any major bugs with it
[10:42] Slarevok Tendandes: alright. will do. I'm a bit laggy on this comp. So, perhaps it'll reveal what might happen in high lag instances
[10:43] Thomus Keen: all of the new features of the gun, you'll have to click on it to access them (the commands are always the same as the blue-menu options)
[10:43] Thomus Keen: it may be difficult to sort everything out without documentation, but shouldn't be too bad
[10:44] Thomus Keen: and there are a lot of small things, like when you change the fx colors, they do not affect the rocket-tips and MODE-light
[10:44] Thomus Keen: the "mode light", indicates what mode the gun is in, albeit RP & Fun Mode
[10:45] Thomus Keen: NON-RP mode shows a blinking red light, this alerts GM's of RP sims the gun is not set to RP mode
[10:45] Thomus Keen: in RP mode, the menu's change, and reload's are required as there is an imposed ammo limit of 99 etc.
[10:45] Thomus Keen: basically only the RP ammo is available in that mode
[10:46] Thomus Keen: another feature is, let's say you have bullets selected, when you go into velocity, it changes the velocity of "bullets", you simply need to have the "type" of ammo selected, to adjust their velocity independently
[10:46] Thomus Keen: there's really far too many things to mention here, not even covering the TCS system
[10:47] Thomus Keen: the goal of TCS, is to have "independent damage models" for things
[10:47] Thomus Keen: i.e. the gun has hitpoints, the terra vehicles will have their own hitpoints etc.
[10:47] Thomus Keen: this means if someone takesout all the hitpoints on the gun, it becomes disabled for 30 seconds
[10:48] Thomus Keen: it'll even begin to smoke more and more at 40% damage and below
[10:48] Thomus Keen: tcs gives the weapon "out-of-box" combat metering
[10:49] Thomus Keen: and is compatible with all other weapons, but it is of course, more ideally suited for weapons with TCS built-in
[10:49] Thomus Keen: do note that the gun does have regen
[10:49] Thomus Keen: and the gun does come with a shield for people having trouble spotting the meter, and would rather use something that is more easy to spot from a distance
[10:50] Thomus Keen: DPS is in this gun, like all my other new guns, except, that 1. it's disabled by default 2. can be toggled
[10:51] Thomus Keen: oh yeah, the "automatic" fire mode with 60cal and musket ammo, do keep in mind that it's "full auto"
[10:51] Thomus Keen: means it fires as long as you're holding down fire
[10:52] Thomus Keen: the code in this update is all new, it's been completely rewritten
[10:52] Thomus Keen: even my new advanced weapons script wasn't quite advanced enough
[10:53] Thomus Keen: a couple more thing to note
[10:53] Thomus Keen: there are 66 colors for fx
[10:53] Thomus Keen: and a seperate color selection for lasers
[10:53] Thomus Keen: when you change colors, the light and laser aim will NOT change unless they are on
[10:54] Thomus Keen: this allows you to have different colors for the laser aim and light
[10:54] Thomus Keen: this gun WILL holster properly
[10:54] Thomus Keen: just use /55 h and /55 d
[10:55] Thomus Keen: to draw and holster
[10:56] Thomus Keen: in the menu for mode >, you'll see only 60cal and musket will autofire
[10:58] Thomus Keen: in non-rp mode, there is no reload, it's unlimited fire
[10:58] Thomus Keen: when a gun gets this complex, it needs lots of testing
[10:59] Thomus Keen: the next test version will have some of the new ammo in it
[10:59] Thomus Keen: I have roughly 20 new ammo designed for it
[11:00] Thomus Keen: not just fun ammo, but useful combat stuff
[11:00] Thomus Keen: like streaker bullets
[11:00] Thomus Keen: the streaker bullets actually leave a streak behind them making it easy to see where projectiles are going
[11:01] Thomus Keen: it's VERY complex having a single gun with this many features and ammo operate in 2 different modes
[11:02] Slarevok Tendandes: lol. ya think? Many guys can't even make a gun with limited ammo work right and look at what you're doing.
[11:03] Thomus Keen: lol yeah, well I try to raise the bar each time I update =)
[11:04] Thomus Keen: oh yeah, the hud is being completely redesigned, refined, and hopefully, better than any previous hud
Here I stand at the gates as a guard against intruders, though my usual post is with in the hedge maze. I am a Death Knight in the service of the Cyrian Empire and it's Queen. Though you may not be a guard you are still able to purchase the Death Knight armor and the Executioner masks as if you were one. These wonderful things can be found in the Losthaven store above the Cyrian Empire. ((The castle is still under construction))
Aye, ye lads and lasses! Today only we 'ave a FREE drunk man on a 'at to celebrate the season. It's located in the very center of the SPN/Unzipped store where I'll probably be standing.
Welcome to the Prison Planet known as Naraka. Once a prestigious hotel and luxury resort it was overthrown in a revolt by the genetically altered workers and quickly became a drop zone for any prisoners. With little supplies and no escape the prisoners must create their own community and their own laws. Will you survive?
Today I got to meet a new builder who just got some of her stuff added to a wing off of the Steampowered Nuts main store. The wonderful creator is known as Julez Odigaunt and she creates some rather nice furniture such as the steampunk bed as you see here. If you have any questions or would just like to see her works for yourself then swing on by. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
Well, the sign basically says it all. Get a free robot AV just for joining the group. So, what're you waiting on? You can find it at the Cyber Bunker main store.
A huge congratulations to Discord for reaching the 2000 member mark! In celebration, this and a female outfit have been released as group freebies. All you have to do is join the group and grab the gift. Sorry that it's not the best of shots but at least you can get an idea of it.
Well, I talked to madam Cyr the other day and it turns out that these lovely little buggers are going to be for sale in her shop called Losthaven and will be for anyone who wants them at this time. At a later date these may be used for RP purposes on a large scale. So, watch your walls and listen for the drums. War might be on it's way....
Well, Hya has done it yet again. This is a group only freebie over at Silent Sparrow and the group is closed to applications while freebies are out but this is just one of many good reasons to join the group. I'll try to have a better shot of the suit later but I also wanted to get a little bit of a shot at Lucia Cyr's place called Throne. It's a vampiric/medieval styled sim that she is remodeling at the moment. I'll be sure to let y'all know more about it when it's closer to being done. Take care and have fun out there! Keep it frosty!
