Good lookin ankh, as usual.
Pho, will there be a weapon model in centerhandedness? that always annoyed me about Q2, if you use center you don't know which gun you're using (unless you look at the tiny icon at the bottom).

Nice haste. Pho- cool center-handedness but are you sure you can't put the guns in the center? it works for the Doom weapons... Can't you just make the recoil go back instead of up? |

Woah, cool, I didn't know Q2 had gun offsets, or that you could play center with guns drawn. I will play it this way all the time now. In my opinion, the recoil isn't that bad. It only obstructs your view for a split second, and if you aim before you fire, your gun won't obstruct anything living  . Then again I only tried it on monsters. I noticed it wasn't firing perfectly in the center, it was shooting slightly to the right (to match the position of the weapons. Does it do this in regular center-handedness? Are the guns moved closer to the center in hand 0 to make things apear to match up? If so is this what will be done in Gen? As long as the shots go in the center I don't care, but it would be nice if the shots apeared to come out of your gun as well. I noticed in Q3, most of the guns are positioned just off center (slightly to the right) instead of all the way on one side. This creates the illusion that the stuff is actually coming out of your gun even though it's just coming out of your nose basically. I would imagine if you leave the strogg models exactly where they are normally, they would be all the way to the right, and there will be a visible mismatch between the shots and the gun (I played CPMA with the guns offset all the way to the right and had this experience) but perhaps you could move them close enough to the center to have the illusion of matching up, but still have them off to the side enough not have them block your view? I don't want to press the issue I'm just curious what the options are. |

Try to picture the BFG10K in the center. That should answer any questions about centered weapons looking any good/bad for Strogg ;]

Gnam: If you have hand 0, the shots will be to the right approximately 8 units from center. If you have hand 1, the shots will be to the left approximately 8 units from center. If you have hand 2 or higher the shots will fire direct from center and slightly below the crosshair. That's how Q2 did it, and that's how we're doing it. Hand 3 and Hand 4 are for those who want centered shots but don't want to have to give up seeing a gun model as well. I'm not going to put the guns in the center visibly because once they're animated it will look like utter crap and the offsets vary from gun to gun, which means I'd have to put in different numeric offsets for each weapon. I'm not wiling to do that.
Tab: Flight is MOST desireable to this particular player. Fear me from the skies, for I rule them. I like the design, it's unique. Now we just need a Q1-ish pentagram to replace the Q3-ish one we've been using!

Nice powerups once again! Pentagram, you say? You could just take the Q3-ish one, remove the ring around it and re-skin the rest. Voila! PoP a-la Q1. That's what I reckon anyway. (not that I have the slightest clue how to do that, but it's just a suggestion) |
