Ultimate Sidewinder Mod - modified LONGSWORD

[zulux]

Ok, i will take some of your ideas, unfortunately, some of them i cannot do. I could make it so 2 people went to the gunner, only problem is, the gunner would then have to connect to the passanger seat And as for the longsword, it will have guns or nukes or both. After telling you guys what i was going to do, i was thinking about the turret and the longsword, and i am afraid that i don't think i can get both in :/ I will probably make 1 patch with the longsword and one with the turret. They both might also have huge miniguns in them- the only thing i need help with here is the sound for the minigun, i have the sound in .wav format, but i need to convert it to APDCM .wav format, so if you know anyone that has an APDCM sound codec, please tell me, it would be very helpful (i don't know the other modders very well, so they will prolly not do any favors for me :/)

damn thats too bad. Oh well at least you are doing what u can!

[Arch-SD-]

well i have one more idea but i feel im controlling your mod...so ill stop but my last idea is... could you make the tires on the jeep smaller, i like the top heavy part but i dont like the tires being so big... and i dont know if you realised this but the sniper takes two hits even for a head shot....just wanted you to know

[zulux]

OK, you want the sniper to be 1 shot? i was just wonderin, i had it 2 shots because it's rapid fire, and i hated it when people would just snipe you from outta no where, you are not controlling my mod, i make my mod FOR the people, so what ever you guys want, just say it. I like the tires big though they are so cool, and they kind of hide MC because you can see his feet under the hog cause i raised it . I could possibly make them smaller, but why would you want them smaller? please tell me why you want them smaller- is there a bug or something? don't fell like you are controlling the mod though, i am happy that you make comments. PLEASE, make as many comments as you want, they are soooo helpful.

Well zulux, I don't know for sure if this would help you but, I understand that HMT v2 has a converter for the wav to xbox. You would have to look up how to use it, maybe posts by allister or Spartan III, I read about this some where there. This would be the link to HMTv2, it is over seas http://www.gueux.net/modules/news/artic ... oryid=1559 , I posted this to Spartan III and he got it from there I think. I think you have to remove the exe file and run it in command,so look at totorials. It should work. I got it to do this but have not got there yet. Have FUN PS I would like to see the 4X4 hog as a seperate patch with no other changes ,and maybe for Blood Gulch to

nice avatar

anyway the reason i think they would be smaller is because being so big it feels like you could just run over Everything but in reality if you it the ghost you do a backflip... its just the mindset i have and it tricks me, so making them smaller would seem more realistic... not as small as they used to be just smaller...
and whats with the warthog gunner i mean it just blows the other car away if your shooting it... hahaha its so cool

and since im you Want ideas...

and the rocks you used..i like the placement but when you look at the sniper base it look slike a bunch of barrels could you make them flat or something...but thats not really important.
what i would really like is if the red and blue base's were really bright, like your walking around and then you see the glaring lights of the two bases not Glaring but your know, make them stand out through the trees

[adam07]

nah leave the tires the way they are. I mean, you might as well have not modded the warthog at all if you change the tires. The body is cool and all, but the tires are what people notice.

And what are you saying about the rocks? He smoothed them out, the sniper post looks awsome!

[zulux]

HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT!!! I got the mini longsword in with the turret, i just have to put the touches on and work out the details, but i think it should be good. BTW the turret works perfect. I just need to put the new sound files... yada yad. And another BTW- there will be no RL as the mini longsword replaced that. Actually, there is a plama RL, but it will look like the FP of the longsword when you pick it up, i will see what i can do though.

[adam07]

YES! Zulux you are awsome! What is the mini longsword like? Is it solid unlike the one from the other mod? How small is it compared to the tank? What does it shoot n stuff? Also, where are you placing turrets? And what do they shoot? When will you be done with the mod? Please release a beta version if it will take a while just so I can fly the mini longsword. Or maybe some pics?

[zulux]

yea, i will give you a beta, but for right now, i am having some problems, i didn't do anything wrong except inject new dependencies for the longsword (which is a new file under vehicle tag) When i open it up in HMT and try to look at the models, it gives me an error "attempt was made to point file marker before the beginning of the file" but it worked fine before i swapped dependencies, but that shouldn't make a difference, so i am trying to figure out what is wrong. Spark edit won't open it up either and my xbox won't play it so... i am in the process of trying to figure this out

[adam07]

Damn, that sucks. Er...keep trying!

[Arch-SD-]

im so glad they work together and i hop eit works soon


a beta would be awesome, just keep up the good work

[Arch-SD-]

since you didnt mention this... were you going to implement my idea with the base lighting.... actually the whole inner structure lighting...


and try and post a pic a soon as possible for the mini longsword!!!

[budro]

Hey zulux, sounds like you have your hands full there. I think the new additions will be great whatever they might be. I like everything you have done so far. Leave the sniper alone. Two shots to kill is just fine for those people who can't kill without it. Leave the wathog alone!! Love it the way it is. Can't wait to see what a mini longsword is or a big longsword for that matter. Don't know what that is.
Keep up the fine work. As soon as HEK comes out you will see my idea's. I am excited about that program coming out.
Have a good one......

[zulux]

Budro, i hope you have PC, cause HEK is for PC, and about the lighting idea, i might make it lighter in the bases, but not in the tunnel, cause in the tunnel you want it so when you're running in there and so is the other team, you don't want them to see you so easily.

GIGANTIC EDIT::::::: ------>>>>>
Guys???? Is it ok if i take out the snowmobile and put in the longsword, i keep trying to make the scenery a vehicle. I can easily make it a vehicle, but all that happens is it changes into a block when i make it the longsword, so i think i am going to have to swap the snowmobile for the longsword??? Is this ok, i didn't think the snowmobile was that great anyway. I mean c'mon, we've got that huge a** hog right? stupid new vehicle not goin in

[adam07]

I guess it would be ok. It was just kind of new and original. But the mini longsword is probably 10 times better so I guess it's a good trade. Also, what is the warthog shooting now (hopefully homing missles against the longsword)? When is the update gonna be released?

[zulux]

well... i am still working out some major bugs, UPDATE SHOULD BE BY THE WEEKEND MOST DEFINATELY! here is a pic of the longsword (it's in my model editing program)

[adam07]

Nice! How does it compare in size to the tank? I'm thinking sort of a fighter bomber type of thing. Lol you know what would be cool is a runway! Just an idea hehe. (I like flying things)

[zulux]

I don't now what a runway would accomplish jk it is about 10 feet wider than the tank, but i am in the process of shrinking it, i think it's still way to big.

[adam07]

Yeah def make it as small as possible. Will it still be shooting that big ass nuke? I think if you make it smaller then the nuke should be in proportion to it.
