yea, i know. i already got different bullets for each gun put in, but to add on (even more) to modablilty, why not have different cursors for each gun? it'd be pretty cool IMO. also, why aint there diff flashes? i thought it'd be implemented with diff bullets. :(

Hmmm... Err... this is from UT, mostly. And if you mean the "fire" by flashes, you can change a few

This would have been much better and more aptly and effectively placed under the *Insert unrelated topic here* topic located directly underneath your topics and then locked while I'm replying to it.

Am I right when I understand 'flash' as 'weapon fire spark'?
Anyway, this is a great idea.

yes, he is talking about the muzzle flashes.

I think to further enhance the modability of Soldat, make the death console use a different set of images of the guns instead of the interface ones. The reason I wanted this is because some mod like Delta Force: Land Warrior Mod have a square thingy on as some sort of a background to make the weapon interface looks better. But then when it comes up on the death console, is not as good =\

EH:you make no sense.
U13: never played UT.
N1n: that's pretty good too. soldat should be way more moddable.

[n00bishQuestion]What's a muzzle flash? is that the gun fire?[/n00bishQuestion]

UT has a special cursor for each weapon, and has an editable cursor and colour

peemonkey, I suggested individual muzzle flashes in the 1.2 beta testing but I was ignored...

I reckon the explosions should use different animations too. Someone might make a mod in which the m79 is like some kinda electrical vortex type weapon thingy, but the flamer is still a normal flamer... And grenades fire spring snakes. Or something.

Why not just make it so that the death console (and any console for that matter) can be moved around using the inteface maker. And I like sticky's idea. That way, i can go back and change my flamer into a link gun for my UT mod so it would look so 1337 and...

U13 - the reason that UT has different cursors for many weapons is because all the weaponms fire differently. Take the shoch rifle for instance. It has pinpoint acuraccy so the default cursor is a little cross thing. The minigun on the other hand, shoots bullets in a spray that don't all hit the target. Thats why it's cursor is much larger. Each cursor was created to suit the weapon's method of fire. This works primarily beacuse UT is a 3-D FPS. Soldat is a 2-D Side Scroller. the whole cursor thing would make no sense. I do think it would be kind of cool though...

if it were up to me there'd be a way to add your own sparks and what they do with an editor of some sort. they wouldnt really matter, but would add more to your own mods...:D
stalky and sticky, i get yer names confused too much XD

"This would have been much better and more aptly and effectively placed under the "Let's remove the sniper line from Soldat" topic located directly underneath your topics." - This is my post, written by myself, written in responce to the "drop flag" topic.

"This would have been much better and more aptly and effectively placed under the *Insert unrelated topic here* topic located directly underneath your topics and then locked while I'm replying to it." - This was Elephant Hunters post.

Don't mind him peemonkey...he's just a moron.

WTF EH...you can't think of an original post, so you have to copy mine? I happen to agree with peemonkey. EH...you, however, need to get a f*cking life and refrain from copying the posts of others. Don't be bitter if it was your topic I was replying to. That just makes you look more pathetic than my post does. Amen to peemonkey for making a good suggestion..

Sorry geologist! It was 6:00 AM and I was grumpy, on top of that a mod locked the topic right before I could submit my reply. So I blamed it, unfairly, on you. Please don't me mad at me [:-scared]

[:-banghead] My post had nothing to do with the topic at all peemonkey.

BTW *Back on subject* I like this idea, different flashes for every weapon should be implemented into soldat.
