More pics hot off the Chaos assembly line...

Fire mines is just so correct imo i dont think there is any reason to change it. Now if there was another version that did something other than fire, we might call it fire trip mines or something, but firemines are good for me, and get the point across quickly

I don't think I've done sounds for them. I assumed they used a default explosion sound or something, but if the team is willing to put them in, I'll make some cool firey sounds for them. In fact, I'll make several variants if that's doable, so that the sounds don't get repetitive.

a nice explosive fewwwwshhhh sound might be cool

[Shadowstar]

Well, after posting my last message, my head got all filled up with cool ideas so I opened up Cool Edit and churned out a bunch of stuff. I may have even done too much! I made firemines, but I didn't stop there, I made some cool new sounds for firemines arming (sounds like a little machine clicking into a "primed" mode), and ambience for napalm fires, and some generic firey swooshes that could be used for misc stuff, maybe for someone getting set on fire or something.

So that's done now anyway...

If the gentlemen has in fact soiled his garments, I would suggest that a quick change is very much in order, despite the fact that the replacement garments may in fact become soiled themselves.

Hehe, as you might notice I didn't speak against cleaning up. I just thought that he should be careful what to wear next, becauses chances are things get dirty again.

yo if this is off topic-who cares!!!
but can we have another update of the spray textures...
and can they be 256X384-some dont look cool small?
sorry

[Wormbo]

Spraypaint textures can have sizes that are powers of 2, up to 1024x1024. if they don't fill out the whole texture, please also add an alpha channel and send the file as TGA or DDS. Otherwise JPG is fine, just don't apply to much compression.

If you want 256X384, just center it on a 256x512 texture.

[HAL]

what do u mean by filling out the whole texture? Alpha? EH!
please explain!! I sent in a 256X384 jpg, will that be ok?
thanks

Yeap we can take care of it...but I hate to say this no more will be accpeted. Just because we are getting close and I have to cut it off at some point...

[Mayhem]

How bout "Pyro Mines"?

[SPA]

Hmmm.. PyroMines sounds really good in my ears

Wanna use this, Joe?

BTW... we just wanted to get away from the term "Lasermines" cause the real Lasermines(tm) will also show up in ChaosE later. I speak of small nastly devices that can be stuck to walls and send out a way thicker laser you shouldnt cross,... otherwise your torso and legs start to walk into different directions afterwards

[howlermonkey6000]

or maybe Napalm Mines even. I always smile when i hear napalm

oh btw i have changed my undergarments and they have not been soiled yet

Since you guys are putting a cap on the spraypaint textures, how difficult would it be to whip up my own? I remember people doing it in Half-Life, though I also remember it being hard to do. Or at least difficult enough to make lazy ol' me not want to do it.

We will open up user sumbimssions for Beta2. The goal is to get it just like HL with users controlling their own...we are not to that point just yet.
