Obsidian Conflict Devblog Video #1

Yeah, if I were making the dual-wielding, I'd restrict it to weapons that could realistically be wielded with one hand and make the guns drop off the screen when reloading.

Then again, I'm not working on this, so...yeah.

That stuff is already on the TODO list

[Malcom]

I just dropped in to check-up on you guys as I do periodically, and I have to say, that dev blog makes me really happy.

The projected images look amazing! Same with the dynamic light shadows. You've got some good fixes coming to some stuff that's needed it for a while now.

But I'm wondering, why are a lot of the stuff cvars and not some place mappers can use them? Such as a game_rules entity?

And if you're open for suggestions, it'd be neat if you could make the players have random models from a set group, Ie: Combine, Hgrunt, Rebel. I know a few maps have the players act as combine and it'd be silly to see rebels running around shooting rebels.

Also; is there any hope to see multiplayer vehicles? It seems insane, at least to me, to have 16 jeeps or air boats diving around.


Well, ya'll have managed to make me map for coop again. ;D

thats something mappers can do, just look at oc_burnout, it has few different vehicles and its a racing map (or oc_trackmaker that has many vehicles too (tho only airboats and buggies))

Mappers can use them via the map_cfg which overrides server settings.

[Malcom]

Alrighty, thanks. I'll take a peek at those maps. Thanks worfox, glad to hear it. ;D

[MaxWard]

I have but one question!
What happen if you iron sight the dual wielding guns?

[destiny]

you get close up of weapons at side like in most other games with dual wield?

[Keychain]

I'd imagine they would be disabled for dualing, unless they do something like in Killing Floor, where it just gets better aimed zoom-in.

[MaxWard]

No no, I mean right now, it's probably all buggy and fun to look at.

[z33ky]

Nah, it just doesn't do anything.
Ironsight works by getting the offset from the weapon script. The dual-wielding weapon doesn't have an ironsight-entry.

[MaxWard]

Aww... I still think it's be funny to see it all glitched ^^

[RocketRunner]

Eh, ironsighting in KF shows why one must think bit hard about dual-wielding.

[JuiceandChocolate]

Does this mean my dreams of dual wielding rocket launchers won't come true?

[MaestraFénix]

I dont know if there will be an option for the custom weapons (i hope yes), but probably by default it will be deactivated. Anyway, that is one of the things that i want to experiment.
