Low all, this post is about the mod I am working on, negetivity (neg for short) is losely based upon a book concept I got bouncing around my head, the main focus is four sides, light, shadow, nought (complete nothingness), and gvral (absolute matter). I am not XML savy and this mod is pre-alpha, but I figured that I might as well give a shout about it, if you got a concept or advice, holler, any and all will help.

Welcome to the Scorched 3D forums.

Wish you luck on the Mod.

thanks, I figured that I might as well get this on the forums, instead of poking thrax at all hours of the day with "can this work" or "if I do this". hopefully I wil be able to get this some where, nothin' like a baptism by fire

You can poke me!

I will be glad to help!

Overload me with questions!

I will be glad to help!

Ask me how to fire!

I will be glad to help!

Shoot me with a baby missile!

I will be glad to shot you with my nuke!

heh thanks freak, the amount of replies I've gotten in the last twelve minutes shows alot, getting down to the mod itself, I have been wondering; for a melee weapon (swars saber like) it is done with a laser, the problem is, how would I use a dirrerent mesh (some of my terminology is TES4, so) I know that some weaps like the BFG (merg) are done different, but I have no clue how.

lasers are an hardcoded mesh

to have a more "customizable" effect, you could try to recreate a smilar shape with explosions

create a weapon who translates & places small explosions are regular distance using weaponexplosion & weapontranslate

if the gap between explosions is much smaller than the explosion radius, it will resemble a rod

remember to put such thing in a repear loop to prevent the explosion fading to make the rod to disappear

ie.. Fusion-beam.

Weapons that are Pulse lasers like the BFG etc, are a small piece of laser
stepped along by a series of translates.. in a smooth enough stream that
they look like one flowing object.

overlapping several sizes of lasers can simulate a more ovoid shaped
pulse, but i've found that also raises the resources needed by a lot for
each layer.

I suggest renaming any (but not all) weapons you import into it. redoing the icon colors is also good.

thanks for the explane BD and thrax, a set of explosions would give the effect of a melee weapon, and it is apparent that it will have to do, but it might be a tad hard to form a khukuri with explosions on your comment doom, I made no reference to using any weapons from other mods, I was merely using an example.

just a small update, after poking thrax some, I had an idea for a weapon (that I am making). it is a low flying electrical storm, figured I should say something about it, also I have made a ice storm sorta thing, also, having I had a large "doh" moment two minutes ago, instead of trying to build a blade out of explosions, I could just make a explosion, you don't need to tell a blades tang in game, so I am wraping my head (and MSpaint) around that today, I am also begining to quest for some models for tanks and such, but only starting,

There are many members here that are masters of
modeling, it's possible they have a few cast-offs that
would be wicked if put to good use.

What sort of projectile models, placements, or tanks
would you have in mind?

I could use some demonic projectiles.

well, my main thing is tanks, it would seem odd for a pelican to be using the hand of god. the models for light and shadow are pretty simple, but for nought and gvral, they are concepts of my own. But I might as well give a description, for nought I was thinking something done like the gost tank from classic (but not the gost tank from classic) done in a psudo humaniod shape. For gvral my ideas are a tad more abstract, mainly along the lines of a non humanoid, big sorta organic looking creature. oh also (I just remembered) I am looking to do a scale of models, so with shadow for example, it would be: darkling, halfling, desendant, demon, lesser aspect, greater aspect. For projectiles, my ideas are coming as I make the weapons, but things like: hooks, shapes of flame (hands and such), a new roller (something smaller), long body projectiles (spears of nought), spheres (gray matter) and so on

just to note, I got a new PC so I am still sorting out files. Oh and freak, I heard say that you do stuff with sound, do tell

You bet!

You need a sound I make you that sound...

Gimme a list of sounds you need or may need...

Note-Please realize that sounds are very hard to make...

It may take some time before I get you one.

But don't worry...

You will get it!
