So the beta sdk update is out...

[Tuskin]

npc combine armored is almost like the original heavy combine soldier from the leak with the armor you had to shoot off. I wonder if Valve will end up using it.

I wonder if the "npc_wpnscanner" from the same folder is like the Combot.


EDIT: According to Mike Durand, those files aren't from EP3, and are going to be removed.

These are old and weren't ever used. I'll take them out to avoid
confusion but they aren't Ep3 spoilers.

Subject: [hlcoders] Was this suppose to be here?

Was this suppose to be included in the SDK Beta release?

"src\game\server\episodic\Episode3"

It contains three Files. "npc_combine_armored" "npc_wpnscanner" and
"weapon_proto1"

Well we are going to add them to obsidian so people can play with them.
Perhaps someone can make some armor pieces for the combine soldier.

[Hell-met]

Our japanese friends surely won't have any problems doing such a thing

[Tuskin]

That sounds awesome! You should include the "npc_wpnscanner" Or not, Dev team choice.

Holy shit, that would be great, ask the guys of smod tactical or smod itself for their shield models.

Well it uses the normal combine soldier and creates pieces of armor to protect him from damaged. It looks like the pieces dont take damage, you have to hit the soldier in the soft spots to do damage.

pieces are as follows from the code:

Code: Select all

	armorpiecepositions_t ArmorPiecesPositions[] =
	{
		{ "attach_L_Thigh_armor",		"models/combine_armor.mdl" },
		{ "attach_L_UpperArm_armor",	"models/combine_armor.mdl" },
		{ "attach_R_Thigh_armor",		"models/combine_armor.mdl" },  
		{ "attach_R_UpperArm_armor",	"models/combine_armor.mdl" },
		{ "attach_chest_armor",			"models/combine_armor_chest.mdl" },
	};

And yea, it doesnt look like valve even had models made for them in their prototype tests, well, cept the chest. Maybe the other pieces were just little pads or something.

I bet its like the npc_defender, can anyone post the code?

Hmm... reminds me of the alien grunts armor.
