No Mutants Allowed

[Wild_qwerty]

Hi guys,

I are currently working on editing the original FO2 hero sprites to add a few new attack sequnces.

3 shot burst for the pistol
gas attack for the pistol
Hand flamer for the SMG
2 shot rocket burst

plus a few others

Go here for more information

They are basicaly the unused suffix combinations. So would it be possible to add support for these into IanOut?

Cheers

Here is the code from Beta 4 for the included 10mm pistol:

and don't forget that suffixes may be more then 2 characters long, so you may add a HANPWRTHA.FRM too.

there is no burst fire support, bcs I was lazy to add it, that's why burst mode is like a simple shot. If you look at the weapon description you can see that it's the same as a single shot, it just simply uses an other animation, and has "Burst" as name, not "single"

I think there should be a mingun somewhere, which uses the Burst animation....

So in a later version IanOut will have a more fully implemented version of the 3 different fire types?

they are the same, only with different settings. You can change the spread-angle (single shots have a spread angle of 0), and area (fire_continous have an area of 3 or something like that), and some other variables (like you may change the spread-angle according to your large guns skill -> like higher skill means, the weapon will burst in a smaller angle, while a lower skilled guy will spread in a larger area)

It would be good if damage type could be assigned by ammunition loaded, rather than by weapon like the FO2 engine. This is one thing that really limits us, and prevents making things like poison weapons, emp rounds, incendiary rounds etc.

The other thing we seem to be limited by is the triggering (playback) of special effect animations for various damage types. So far I haven't found a way to trigger those, other than letting the engine do it, and its based on weapon settings, which sucks!

Also making it possible to set the impact effects from a projectile (ammo type) rather than the gun type.

For example a shotgun loaded with standard shot or loaded with a explosive round.
Or a rocket luancher that fire EMP ammo as well as a standard explosive head, each 'explosion' would be quite different.

Also a few more damage types would be useful
Like a 'Gas' type

Or a smelly gun that drops the targets charisma

But as long as it is possible to have a grenade luancher strapped onto a machine gun I will be happy

I didn't want to create a new topic for this one, 'cause it's somehow related to the "new animation"-topic.

IanOut uses the "NMMAXX"-animations for Ian. The problem is that "NMMAXX" is a npc character, but only hero characters got animation sequences for all the different guns / armors. I've tried to change the used animation sequence to a hero so that I could test some animations but I couldn't find a way to change the animations for Ian. Is it hardcoded or did i miss something in the scripts?

[sztupy]

you did miss, that the main hero is the character number 0, and is described in the Ian.dat

proto/critters.pro

Thx Sztupy

I used the Windows search to find files that contain the string "nmmaxx". Sadly it didn't work, but it's good that I'm able to test some new animations now.

[sztupy]

use Total Commander's search, it works
