So, now while waiting for the version 1.2.2 I am making melee weapons. They change the animation, the sound effects, the graphics and the name of the weapon.

Note:
In the zip file the interface image is called knifein.bmp so put it into Interface-gfx and rename it to knife.bmp.

Almost like that, but only melee weapons. Just making something to wait.

Given that Soldat determines image-positioning through the first top-left pixel of an image, how'd you get the weapon image to go past the head? Or is that arm just pointing straight up?

reckon
July 16, 2005, 7:44 pm
A hatchet would be nice.

No, no. I'm using Ivan the Psycho's animation. The guy doesn't stab now with it, he smashes with the weapons. I'm using that animation for these weapons. It also works online.

They lack shading, and the crowbar should be metal, not red. Unless its paint, in that case make the red darker and not so bright.

Shading's that what I was using. I'll make the interface gfx darker, the ingame looks great to me. I'll update the weapons tomorrow. (I took the crowbar colors from Half-Life)

By the way, Mercy, the reason I didn't add a modded weaponnames.txt with my Razor Sword is so it can be used with other mods without resetting the name of every other weapon.

I guess it can be avoided by copying and pasting the needed files instead of dumping the entire zip, but still, yeah.

Yup, of course you don't have to extract the weaponnames.txt to Soldat if you want to add it to an other mod.

@John TK
Ok, I'll have a look at it.

@aznbl00d
You're correct, but I make the weapons to replace the knife so you are able to throw them. I know that Katana isn't a knife or something... And I saw your axe, it look kewl. ;)

I made them what do they look like, so they may look too long. :/

@Dairy
It's ok. It's good to say what is so bad in it so I can make it better. ;)

@aznbl00d
Yeah, the weapon that I had the most problems, it's hard to do a lil' wrench.

Zero72
July 17, 2005, 9:52 pm
I didn't mean they were inaccurately sized, although that may be true in one or two cases, I meant that they're simply way longer than a combat knife, so only a third of the weapon will actually do any damage. That annoys me in-game.

Goofy_92
July 17, 2005, 9:55 pm
Oh, I see... Only the head that the soldier holds the weapon with makes damage. Yes, that's annoying, but use shorter weapons, e.g. hammer or wrench. ^^

Zero72
July 17, 2005, 10:00 pm
Maybe I'll start a collection of melee weapons and rotate them or something. =P

Goofy_92
July 20, 2005, 6:23 pm
@aznbl00d
Thank you. I had some problems for remembering the name for that "knife". I'll update it later.

Twinkler
July 20, 2005, 6:30 pm
I don't like how choppy the weapons look, also, you should've made a monkey wrench instead.

Goofy_92
July 20, 2005, 6:33 pm
@Twinkler
Hmmm... Choppy...
Well, BTW, it's a small wrench. Look at the list, there is a pipe wrench in there, monkey wrench is the same.

Twinkler
July 20, 2005, 7:25 pm
Ah, I guess I didn't notice the pipe wrench, my bad.

What I mean by choppy, is that I dislike how you can see the individual pixels when there's an angle on the weapon. A prime example being the crowbar, the sickle, and the knife(cleaver). You should work to smooth the edges a little more. Kinda like this, only better.

Zero72
July 20, 2005, 7:29 pm
This seems like the only remotely relevant place to say this without starting a new thread: I have plans for 17 melee weapons, and you've beaten me to yet another one. =P Nice, though.

Goofy_92
July 20, 2005, 7:47 pm
@Twinkler
I know that, but it's hard to do that because the background of the file has to be green so in the game it would have greend stupid outlines.

Since I've cancelled my Weapons Factory idea, I thought I'd pass along some of my ideas to you to see how you liked them / if you would make any of them.

Kunai ( http://cctc.hp.infoseek.co.jp/shohin/kunai05.jpg )
Pencil
Butterknife
Lead Pipe
Spoon
Fork
Pizza Cutter
Spatula
Pickaxe

Also, I don't like the in-game look of the meat cleaver / butcher knife / what have ye. It looks like it has a big extra pixel or two sticking off the back at the end.
