I propose we take all the sound packs and sound suggestions, put it in a thread and let people choose what sounds best for what weapon.
Technically, the sounds i use are in source sounds.gcf. I modified them a bit to work in Empires, and i love them.
I would love to see artillery having a much much deeper bassier (word?) thump to them when they fire. As it is they just sound like a heavy tank gun. Making the screen shake a little if you're standing near one when it fires would be sexy too. I want to feel my seat shake to the sound and have my screen shake and blur a little. Not that we actually have screen shake or blur in the game but it'd be good!
Ah, all the guns look very nice, good job! I think my favorite is the .50 cal. Can't wait to see more. +, i think the guns look fine. I dont know what they are talking about :/
what i dont understand is why empires doesnt use the cool explosions from hl2 instead of using only the grenade explosion sounds... these sounds are found in source sounds.gcf/hl2/sound/ambient/explosions clicky
Not quite, think of something much closer to a deep rumbling thunder. Also what is the possibility of having a sound emitter follow the path of a bullet or projectile? I would imagine that it could be possible to record the path the projectile takes, most likely a straight line unless projectile physics calculated in empires. Once it is recorded then simply shoot a sound emitter down this path at the velocity of the projectile and have it emit the correct sound. I find that bullets whizzing overhead and tank shells flying past add a lot to the atmosphere of a game.
All the iron sights seem to have only a front piece? I guess that is just a technical thing but otherwise looks pretty sweet.
Finally, the weapons are starting to look like they have some punch in them. I love the 50 cal rifle, the quality is comparable to DoD:S (Take it as a compliment, I swear ). But my concern is the Assault Rifle, not exactly pressing issues, but; it's small for such a weapon, and I'm not quite fond of the way it's being held. And as said multiple times already, the 50 cal rifle can stand to have some recoil. Regardless, I love how these new weapons have turned out, well done
I re-uploaded the videos at a slightly higher quality. Also, here's a sneak peak at another weapon I'll be uploading a video for soon. Note that the scope sights aren't done. http://www.empiresmod.com/video/nf_scout.avi
Scout - Seems to cock a little too fast, otherwise i like it. But was it just me or did the scope have no +?
so was your mom, but plans change. its really the art side of things holding aircraft up, not Krenzo.
