BR-THOR_BOWL [RC1] [pics] [download]

[molosev]

The second pic looks much better. But I have no clue about modelling, so I can't help you on this.

Ok, I know what was wrong.
I set the LightMapResolution too high (512),
32 seems to be the right size for the ball.

Rendered in Unreal

I've made a quick look in the ball-code (source is delivered with the mod).
Warhead has used the standard >WAR-orb<. I think, it's possible to use your mesh instead of the orb. For the teamcolor you can coloring the spikes red/blue/neutral. But the main problem is to impelpement it so, that you can select the ball in the ini-file/configscreen.
It's only an idea. I have no interest to modify Warhead's great work.

Of course, I could not ask a better place for this ball than in Warhead's great mod.
I read a few months ago on The Reliquary's forum that he was looking for a ball and ball launcher design,
but as the MSUC is over, I don't know if he's interested in pushing it further graphically. **** I have to ask him !
I already talked to him about me developping a mutator to include the ball and launcher, he had no objection.
But I'm a noob in Uscript, so this is far from done
If you feel you have the skills and interest to try and handle it, I'm open.
Otherwise if you have some ideas about a custom weapon, that could be great !

See ya !

I would really take no offense if you're not interested
I can imagine how much time consuming it could be, and I'm sure you're busy enough

Anyway, I have some ideas for a TBall weapon:

I think it has to be explosive . Maybe the firepower of the Avril would fit.

Two behaviors:

1/ Kamikaze bomb
- Left button "clic and release", you explode and anyone at a relative close range is injured proportionally to the distance from the explosion.
- Left button "clic and hold", the bomb is armed, it'll explode on any collision. (a little like a fully charged Impact hammer)

2/ Powerful hand grenade
- Right button "clic and release", the bomb is armed and thrown (kind of Flak's or Bio's secondary), it'll explode after a few seconds.
- Right button "clic and hold", the bomb is armed better to get rid of it rapidly.

I bet this will never be the first choice weapon , but could be a fair end for this ball.

Wadya think ?

I haven't forgot you! Yesterday I've tested, if the ball-launcher can be replaced with the weaponreplacer..... NO!
If you wish to have the ball in BR, it must be coded in the mod itself. Have you asked Warhead?

Sounds not bad, but complicated to code (I think so).


PS: The ball looks very good now!

Hey mate !

Sorry for the delay, I work actively on my new portfolio and this gives me headackes..
Yep I tried the weaponReplacement method too, hopeless.

I've just asked Warhead, hope he'll be interested !
Otherwise it'll remain a nice concept

No problem

Yeah, I think it has to do that the weaponreplacer replaces weapons on a MAP, but BR is a MOD

Agreed
