Screenshots for fun

[EvilGrins]

You can't have 'funky' without 'fun'.

Agree!

You know that "models by nephew" thread of yours? You should post screenshots of the models playing on bots or something.

Preferrably in this thread!

It always struck me kinda weird that all the weapons in Unreal1 were upgraded to ut99 except this one...



...why was there never an upgrade to the Dispersion Pistol?

[papercoffee]

Because the Dispersion Pistol is boring...AND the only weapon who morphs to a stronger but even uglier version every time you upgrade it ...maybe a remodel of the gun could make it to UT.

I know they impressively upgraded it in Unreal2. That version was cool.

This one?



Yeah looks much better ...but is it still upgradeable?

[EvilGrins]

Yeah, that's it. I dunno if it can be upgraded more but it'd be cool to have that version in ut99.

[papercoffee]

bummer ...it is not made by Epic.
But maybe a similar design could make it.

Yeah the original was ugly, and looked like some kind of weird tuning-fork when you upgraded it.

That pic of the star trek red-shirt, makes me think of a mutator idea.
Either as an anti-camper mod. Camp for too long, you get a red-shirt and start losing shields/armour then weapons.

...or for Assault maps. The last one to leave the base or cross a start point (both teams), gets the red-shirt and cannot pickup armour or shields.
Killing the other teams red-shirt will also win you the game, so you have to protect them.
Sort of the opposite to Mutant game type.

I kinda liked it. Not the look of it so much but the other aspects: never runs out of ammo, shoots a slow moving projectile that can go an unlimited distance. Kinda fun.

Could be kinda cool, I suppose. I've got 2 setups for Star Trek shirts:


In case you'd like to borrow a base for the mutator.

You're not the first to point out that Epic thing, on various things. I mean, I've got Skaarj models from U2 in ut2k4 and some people get upset about that. I've got Doom maps & weapons in ut99, and some Quake maps & monsters in ut99 too.

Is it really so bad it's not Epic stuff? I mean, there isn't actually an official ruling on that kinda thing, it's just considered bad form, right?

[papercoffee]

No I mean we can't import the model ...but we can recreate it.

[EvilGrins]

Little project I'm working on...

[EvilGrins]

a little TLMS...

...Team Last Man Standing.

[GenMoKai]

Only thing I want to know what map that is. Can't recognize it for now

[JackGriffin]

The dispersion pistol went unused because the netcode doesn't work right in UT. When you find the upgrade your weapon doesn't improve correctly. I've thought about fixing it but no one uses it anyway.

[papercoffee]

It would be a nice new feature to have a better looking and working dispersion pistol
And...I can think about a arena mod like GungGame where you start with the best version of the disp.pistol and with every third frag you level up and you get the next weaker version. Pretty popular in Counterstrike. where you can steal a level with a melee kill ...who reaches the last level wins.
