[IDEA] a different way of a deployed infantry
k, i dont know whether to put this in the research bit or here, so i thought of slappin' it here.
anyways, i'll get on with the idea.
now when u deploy, for example, a GI. now when u deploy it, it surrounds it self with sandbags and plots himself with a top mounted rifle. i'm wondering if, instead of the sandbags around the GI dude, why not have him lying on the floor with the mounted rifle. it's like when its crawling undeployed, but it'll be deployed and not moving.
this will make the infantry look more realistic, 'cause u dont see one guy on his own making a lil slot for himself... well u do, but not when u got every tom, dick 'n' harry all together doin' it. Thiss will be good for your sniper as well.
so if this has been made before or looked into before or whatever, please tell me. and if it aint been done before or looked at... maybe this is a good chance of doing so.
now some of you might now say is, "uh.. well.. if u want it so bad, do it yourself" or maybe "uh, i dunno.. maybe u should just not bother" or whatever. the thing is, i'm just a typical "noob", who has no experience on making the file 'n' stuff, but that dont mean i wont try.
anyways, post in ur comments and feedback please.
thank you for ur time

p.s i'm currently making a mod myself, 'n' i dont know whether to release it or not 'cause it's just a big put together of everyone elses voxels 'n' shps. and dont worry i will credit the makers without a doubt, just the one's i'll need to get permission of first
tell ya what... i'm askin' everyone who has a .vxl or a .shp or whatever, i'm askin' u's for permission. right here, right now... in public (this better be a first time thing if so... cool, i've made history).......
.....what? just a quicker way of askin' people
thank u again, for ur time. _________________ Geoff (Geoff17391) QUICK_EDIT
thought it might of been... so shall i (or we, depends if anyone want to help) do it then.... or not?
'cause i can just root around these forums on thw 'how to..' stuff _________________ Geoff (Geoff17391) QUICK_EDIT
so ur saying that all i could do is just use the shps thats already in the game, and use the crawling ones to make the deployed shp... _________________ Geoff (Geoff17391) QUICK_EDIT
@Tratos: I think I know I said it wrongly, but that's what I meant.
However wouldn't it be funny if the entire ground was covered with GIs lying on the ground? _________________ If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall into space... QUICK_EDIT
Yes, you change the deployed frames in the sequence (art.ini) to use the frames of the unit lying down.
I am pretty sure you can't reuse frames though. I remember trying to do this with the sniper and it prevented him from firing. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I wouldn't know, but could you not just copy those frames, delete the original deployed frames, and insert them from there. Or is this not the issue. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
well, i'll try switchin the frames in the art.ini. i wouldn't be doing it for about a week cos am goin' away (great timing puttin' this on) but i might be rootin' round the forums. if not then it gives a chance for ur views _________________ Geoff (Geoff17391) QUICK_EDIT
