General banter aside i made a low poly knife suitable for Half-life use, didn't turn out as well as i hoped though.

(Ambient occlusion has severe smoothing errors which makes the blade look really odd FYI, and i made it a little too thick)

EDIT: Actually, looking at the reference images i am very disappointed with the model, I'll be doing a lot of fixing up on things before it's usable.

That's what we should do, we should all make a single map for the server, and then we can all play on it, and at the same time give feedback on other peoples maps--While we are playing them.

None of the guns are by any means cheap, if you think that, you're simply a bad player.
They are cheap if they are 250% more powerful then every single other item in the game, which do 2% damage.

People wouldn't be bitching about the awp if they could actually kill the person using it, unfortunately the chance of killing someone with a m4a1 was very low, took 5 hits to the chest and 2 to the head, whearas a Awp was one-hit-kill anywhere.

The awp is and always has been a one hit kill, like most snipers, but it'd be nice if the creators of cs hadn't simply gone "Oh kevlar is good armour, how many bullets can it stop point blank range from a 7.72 hollow point round.... 7!" and moreso, no matter what caliber round, a rifle bullet WILL go through a helmet, it's not a magical helmet, it WILL go through, but the creators of cs disagreed.

Anyways, i think we've derailed this topic enough times.

That would have to be my least used gun in CS. I hate it for some reason.
I hate the cs update with a passion, but valve did one thing right for damned sure, and that's the weapons, basically (assuming valve didn't fuck up again) all the weak shit weapons in cs:s that are actually extremely powerful with a good ROF in real life, are now ACTUALLY inflicting decent damage and proper ROF.

The ump is now a very useful weapon in cs:s, unless you want to just buy a awp and deagle because you're too cheap that is.

in Screwing a silencer Post #284205

in Screwing a silencer Post #284203
I have the silencer in my mod, and the problem is the ai doesn't react to seeing other dead bodies, so basically you can pick all the ai off one by one and they won't detect a thing, even though they are within whispering range.

It's quite simple to actually code though, just change the gun volume to quiet, remove any references to the silencer code, and make the silencer a part of the main weapon .mdl, not optional.

You will need to change the sounds, the attachment needs to be moved forward to accommodate the new position of the barrel, but really it's rather simple, assuming you have any modeling, coding and sound editing skills.

Unless you want to make it optional, in which case, good luck.

in bump map doesn't look bumpy or decent Post #284033
No, it's just that there is no way to tell the coordinates of points from a 2d image, the normal map creation software you used is ok, but the actual way to make a normal map is to make a model with all the geometry you want to 'bake', and the coordinates will be baked into a texture which tells the GPU "Ok, this point on the texture is really far out, but this point over here isn't".

It doesn't actually make or move geometry, it only affects the lighting and shading.

I didn't explain that very well but that's a rough outline of it.

I have lost 2 nights worth sleep over this and it is extremely frustrating, when making a mod, how in the hell do you replace or make your own loading screen?

It is NOT splash.bmp, there is nothing even resembling the loading screen in any of the wads, or the pak file, and it isn't in GFX, the only thing i have found is a wad called 'cached.wad' with 2 images in it, BACKCON and LOADING, tfc and dmc have this but in every cached.wad there are no images, and the names are greyed out and you can't select them.

I have tried making my own wad, using the exact same naming conventions and saved it as cached.wad in my own mod folder but it only made the game freeze on loading a level.


Figured it out, http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=66 lets you do precisely this, overlooked the mod setup tutorials, whoops!
