FuhQuake

[Klaymen]

was bored n started thinkin about the old DMessentials mod. Wonderred if it were possible to implement atleast the option of having the different player models for each weapon using the models from this mod. Would be a cool extra feature for fuhquake me thinks.. jsut a thought. yay

[pretorian]

It won't be implemented because of the change in gameplay.

[Apollyon]

How does it change gameplay with everyone using a boomstick/axe script anyway?

[Klaymen]

nah i thought about that too. How would it change the gameplay, it really wouldnt at all cos i mean everyone knows wat weapons each class as and how quickly do different classes just flick between weapons, it wont change a thing.. i would say.

Maybe make it so it needs to have serverside permission to work.

Just a thought.....

vwep would be nice for aesthetics in qwtf where it doesn't really matter if u can see what weapon the person is using, i'd much rather see demomen holding a gren launcher than the standard weapon model but i'm sure this is a quakec codeing problem not client coding so would probably be best being put into oztf with some basic code support in fuhquake if needed

Jballou coded vwep quake2 style with proper player.mdl, w_rocketlauncher.mdl, w_shaft.mdl etc. instead of the dme way and it'd be much better this way (he has source available!)

But vwep in 4v4 would change tactics quite significantly when axe/shotgun scripts aren't in use, and when they are there would be no point in vwep cos u'd only see the weapon models for a split second so it'd cost u 6 times the memory for no actual benefit

put vwep in qwtf and make it a sever variable for dm like watervis or summit

weapon models have to be implemented via server

think of mvds, there is no knowledge of what any weapon other people have (this is client recorded mvds)

[Klaymen]

yeah yur right. that vwep is a much better way. And also a serverside command allowing clients to use it or watever. Cos i guess for DM and stuff it COULD be used as an advantage, ie players can know how equiped or inequiped someone is or something like that and on the flipside players can pretend to be not well equiped but really have a rocket launcher ready to use or WATEVER blah blah, anyway, i think it would be awesome to have this implemented in

[oldman]

could be done using setinfos but might lag with big games due to lots of changing setinfo's when ppl switch weapon a lot

[Guest]

yeah i'm pretty sure that sort of stuff is controlled by the mod itself, we should get it in oztf!

[Klaymen]

we sure should
