This sounds awesome! I look forward to trying it out!

[darksin]

Yeah, it's here finally, Horde always the best, my favorate mode. The second is Beast, if all kinds of locusts can be added in. ..

So how many locusts in one wave?...Weapon Choice is really a good idea in future....

Locusts in each wave changes as the waves get higher when its the lower waves its about 20. 10 at a time. the higher waves will have like 50. 20-30 at a time.

Weapon choice will only be primary + secondary weapon. e.g. Lancer + Gnasher or Hammerburst + Longshot

A little advice, check if 50 at a time does not crash, GOW1 engine has no crowd feature. Also, check your PM in this forum

yeah that's the reason why in those big waves I'm gonna have only about 20 enemies at a time

That's nice, i played Bob's Horde and found some frame drop when a lot of wretches spawn together, but that's also becasue a lot of teammate, if just 4 teammate then no problem at all...

How many COG AI in this Horde 2.0? ....

....

Frame drop of wretches spawning thogheter was on old versions in which everyone spawned from the same "place" (path node).

[darksin]

Got it...

Anyway if just only few teammate then it's OK, or another problem is they always down, make the screen full of red icon, looks very ugly...

too busy to revive them, so just 3 or 4 teammate is good enough..

The COG Tend to stay in the "Safe Area"(the Spawn point) and will only leave it if you too far away from them

4 COG AI are your allies and so does not take up as much of screen when they are all down

[darksin]

That's great, i think the character choose UI can be made more beautiful, good luck. Waiting...

can someone answer my question: http://forums.epicgames.com/showthre...4#post28623764

What I'd recommend to speed up progress is, don't port maps when your kismet is still in development. If you port them with unfinished kismet you will have to go round each map and sort the kismet again.

As for your UI question, I will mess around with it and see what I can come up with

Thanks for messing around with UI and I ported kismet early cause it worked on one map but not on another

The problem was Character select. when i used my character select I Spawned but my cam was on the ground with the crimson omen filled in the middle of the screen and I had no control of the selected character and when he died he went down and couldn't die

Kismet:
Sequence Activated -> Actor Factory(Archtype) -> Possess Pawn -> Finnish Sequence

UI Button Kismet:
On Click -> Message Box -> Activate Level Event -> Close Scene

EDIT: Fixed

[darksin]

Good to see progress goes on, and a moddb forum ,great work....

Looking good! Keep up the exceptional work quality1000! The upgrading system brings much more depth and strategy.

Yup, I've got all the Gears 3 content sitting on my pc so you gotta be a good boy and not accuse me of trolling in order to experience it

Onyx Guard pretty much done, just need to tweak his emissive (Glowy eyes and armor LEDs)

Also now darksin can't accuse you of trolling

[Drone *]

Hehe, yeah. I just need to give the helmet eye slots more "Glow" as they look a bit dim and too vibrant.

The campaign is no big deal for me, I watched (watched only) all spoiler videos I could find , planning the same for GOW2 when I get more free time.

[Gnasher Masher]

The Coalition of Organised Governments

it Ordered Governments not organised

[darksin]

Good, alpha is coming, good to see modders still working on this game...as long as no more Gears come to PC, the modding can't be stopped and must go on.
