recombinant Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Since it didn't make much sense to post this in the "Invisible NPC" thread, I thought I'd create a new one to post the update on the Fusion Cutter... The first iteration did not have the projectiles aligned diagonally with the muzzles of the FC (they were just horizontally aligned, so it looked a little off). Additionally there was an odd gap between the projectiles that needed adjustment. So, after playing around with the code for a bit I think I've got it looking much better than the first round: There's still an issue with the sequencing on the primary fire that Salv pointed out to me privately, but that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.

recombinant Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 OK. The fusion cutter sequencing issue is fixed, and it behaves closer to the original: back-n-forth (1,2,3,4,3,2,1...) instead of sequentially (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4...). Thanks go to Salv for pointing out that issue! Thankfully this was a rather trivial fix, and the resultant effect looks much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maullaney Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 That looks hella cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmolatedYoda Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 would it be possible to see the sequencing recomb? like a screenshot of the continuous fire? and i dont know, the full blast seems a little close together for the range in those screens. edit: looks great, by the way!

recombinant Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 This is about as good as I can do: hope you find them satisfactory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff 42 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 That looks like one freaking huge fusion cutter. Otherwise it looks good, but it's just way too big, takes up way too much of your field of view. Load up the original DF and pull out the fusion cutter there for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmolatedYoda Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 i dont know if its just because the original fusion blast sprite wasnt too bright or something, but the one in those pics just looks a little...bright? i like your progress though, recomb, very good work!

recombinant Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 Immod: It's cooler to play with it than to just see a screenshot... Jeff: I'll let Salv address that comment since it's his domain. I just make it work - I don't design them. Personally, I like the scale of it. It makes it feel like it's a heavy duty weapon/tool used in Gromas Mines. Very industrial feeling...

Salv Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I like the scale of it too but I'll take that into account as one of the possible changes. I'll leave it for when we get into final stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 The scale is correct, however it needs to be held lower so it doesn't block the FOV. Just translate the model downwards a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salv Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Sounds like what I had in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
