Zer progs!

Or a cleaned up but true to spirit of original progs

Though my opinion doesn't matter cuz I won't be mapping

so who's gonna 'clean up' the zerstorer progs before everyone starts mapping?

Just Map For The Current Ones

If I do make a cleaned up version, it'll be my responsibility to make it fully compatible. (Emphasis on if. Let's not turn this into Base Pack 2.)

Mexx10 Enforcers

Speaking of enforcers, I've been playing Mexx10, can anybody rip those boss enforcers out? Would love to fight them again in another mappack.

As A Player...

I vote Zer progs too.

Mappers can use them if they want, or ignore them if they want.

They're pretty cool enhancements for gameplay and atmosphere.

Being "old" and "1997 quality" doesn't matter that much, if you don't like them just don't use them.

Fair Enough Then

So who's started so far? I spent day 1 putting together textures and making some silly prefabs. Time to figure out a decent layout now.

I Started

You're Doing Space Zer Too?

Shit...

I Veered Away From Doing Zer Metal...

#43 posted by ionous on 2014/10/03 08:29:44

because I thought someone else was apt to do it first. Oh well. Please don't let my decision negatively affect your creativity. My vision is of a 'blood asteroid', if that helps to differentiate the two ideas...

That Sounds Cool

#44 posted by oh, that person on 2014/10/03 09:09:13

And different enough from mine too!

so much for my two ideas... "viscera meteor" and "gore planetoid"

Now go map!

Well, I guess you're stuck with zer metal then.

On another front, I could have sworn that Zerstorer had forcefields in it, but looking through the FGD, I'm not seeing any such thing.

I saw an entity called 'misc_particle_stream'. Is this what they used for the rain in zer1m3? I tried using it in my map, but did not have much success. I guess it needs a target?

Um, Nevermind...

#52 posted by ionous on 2014/10/04 05:14:27

Apparently, I am illiterate. There's a 'func_rain'. Still no forcefields though...

Whoa

#53 posted by oh, that person on 2014/10/04 09:19:54

Turns out Zer has the hipnotic rotation code.

Necros, go jam!

Ionous

#54 posted by oh, that person on 2014/10/04 09:22:37

Apparently. The devkit says:

It appears when triggered, like event_lightning. This entity is one end of the stream, target another entity as the other end-point.

Thanks OTP

#55 posted by ionous on 2014/10/04 20:35:40

Checked it out myself today, and played around with it a little. I was hoping I was going to be able to use the particle streams to simulate forcefields, but that is definitely not going to happen after seeing the entity in action. Oh well.

Screenshots?
