building animations
its gotta be done sometime
when i first started playing this game 2 years ago they weren't animated and after several patches they still aren't. its time someone does something about it.
now whether we go all out or a little at a time. I think its something that makes the mod look loads better and can be appreciated as well as useful. so to do such I'm going to break down what needs animating. by animation i mean it actually building up like the TF2 sentry. however with a more realistic out take not so bouncy and cartoonish.
sentry:
build animation for teir 1
upgrade animation for teir 2 and 3
turret mini-gun animation (this is the most important thing in my book.) its been along time procrastinating time to get er done.
dispenser:
make screen function make the screen function like it should, showing its scrap metal totals.
build animation
jump pad:
build animation

Mini-gun animation is done and working in beta.
Building and upgrading animations aren't going to happen unless I completely re-design the models to do that. Probably never going to happen.
Functional dispenser screen would be cool and probably doable, but it's not priority. We don't have a lot of art people on the mod right now.

Hey Carl,
Let me know the dimensions of the dispenser screen and I'll whip something up over the weekend.

It's roughly 250 by 200 but we'd probably render it to 256x256 and scale it to fit. Or higher if we need the resolution.

Honestly I'd rather see 3rd person reloading/firing animations before any of these things. The current firing animations make it look like the character is having a seizure with most guns.
And a 3rd person reloading animation could be a great combat cue, letting you know when there's a window in your enemies attack.

Told no? I don't know why I'd say that.
The potential problem with 3rd person reload animations, though, is auto-reload. Everyone would pretty much be reloading all the time. Plus, reloading is always interruptable, so I don't know how much useful information you'd actually get from it.

Tf2 has an available auto reload, and third person animations. It just feels kind of shoddy not having them. |

Yeah, I'm not against them, I just think that they probably won't affect gameplay much at all.

I've done a bit of work already on third-person weapon animations, and reload animations are certainly something I'd want to work on (If any animation work gets done, It'll be by me).
