New on GMod 10!

Funny you should mention that.

"Oh yeah people were worried about the performance of the smoke. It isn’t 2001. This smoke is a peice of piss for any graphics card over a Radeon 9800." - Garry Newman, GMDM

 

If I have anything to do with it, it'll be made clientside, and non-collidable :p If you want lag, I could make it server side, fully collidable even with itself, and never fades out. That would be silly though :p

 

How long would tank carapaces stay around now, actually? All match long?

 

5-10 minutes at most because after that you forget about them completely.

 

I want tank carcusses to last forever, and they can either be blown up, which takes forever, or they can be deconstructed, which is quick. that would be awesome :D

they would also dissapear when the server gets to it's "carcus" limit, then the old ones would start to dissappear

the only problem i see is that sometimes you can get stuck inside vehicle carcusses. but this could be solved by having the carcuss kill you if it lands on you, or by haveing a sort of one way system where you are pushed out of the vehicle when it first dies and not allowed to re-enter.

 

Perhaps deconstructing the carcus gives you res for salvaging it.

 

lag and performance aren't the same thing.

 

And chunks aren't smoke either.

 

awesome, yeah that's a great idea.

 

I can't wait to get my 1 resource from my jeep carcass.

 

But why would Krenzo make the smoke serverside? That just seems like a bad idea on so many different levels.

 

I think it has to be because of turrets (Turrets can't lock on when surrounded in smoke I believe)

 

That was a feature I proposed but have not implemented. Concussion grenades disable turrets for about 5 seconds.

 

good idea krenzo, if possible.
