The Concussion Rifle, I believe, is supposed to fire compressed bursts of air that create concussive force, hence the name Concussion Rifle. Besides throwing your enemies into nearby structures at extreme speeds, it would probably have the effect of...  [Read More]

Here's an update. I changed the lighting from white to blue, adding lights to the narrow strip between the top and bottom sections, and reduced the overall polygon count to 8,770. I also fixed the light flares and changed the color of the light. htt...  [Read More]

The original model was by Thomas Ganshorn, and was about 48,000 polys. I lowered it and got it into JO. Actually, those are fx_runners. :) I have their life set to like 99999 and the fx_runner only runs the effect once. It's only for cutscenes, so y...  [Read More]

1. Yes, I'm going to use a portal surface. :) 2. This map only has six brushes. The SSD is an ASE model. I am going to lower the polygon count, but the idea is to have a fantastic looking model for cutscenes, so it will remain high. 3. I will proba...  [Read More]

It's for a cutscene for a singleplayer project of mine. You'll actually be able to see through the window and into the bridge and watch all the people move around. At the same time, the whole thing is very small and fits in a 1024x2048 box. Kyle is...  [Read More]

Respawning enemies are absolutly horrible. There's a reason the last time you saw respawning enemies was in Doom II... Enemies that come from a blocked location only once are okay. E.g. you could be going through a corridor, and when you hit a certa...  [Read More]

1. If you're concerned about the level of difficulty, don't be. If you had a mid-game boss, and some guy wanted to save up all his Force points, that's his fault, there's nothing the developer can do to get around this. 2. It's not hard at all. Take...  [Read More]

I don't know why the excessive dismemberment was removed from the menu. It's actually commented out in the MENU file. I've readded that for my singleplayer mod. g_dismembermentprobabilities (I think) has three different values. 2 is rare, 1 is norma...  [Read More]
