Could a spy still backstab somebody with the flag?

That sounds like a better idea, position the flag somewhere around here

do that and I suspect you will step on nades and shit much more often. It definitely shouldn't block the HUD unless it's being swung.

Good point

greenday5494 · 04-28-2008, 04:57 AM

make the flag backwards and shove the pole up people's asses.

GeoKill-----> · 04-28-2008, 05:08 AM

You would like that huh green day?

greenday5494 · 04-28-2008, 05:40 AM

no. but i think using the pole instead of the flag would make more sense and would be more fun

So the basic idea was that when you grabbed the flag you could pwn people with it instead of just carrying it to the CP?

Sweet.

Can we see this is in FF 3.0 ?

- sorry, haven't even looked at the flag in-game.. will try to make time in the next few days -

GeoKill-----> · 05-21-2008, 03:47 AM

Tnx

So i increased the polycount on the flag a little, and resized it so it doesn't block half of the screen.. but i ran into problems with the skin, so no release yet

GeoKill-----> · 05-21-2008, 09:06 PM

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh <3

In that vein, what would need doing / fixing?

I'm not gonna redo any of the animations as that'd take quite a while, and the existing anims are ok. And while it'd probably look cool, i won't add any anims for the flag fabric swishing around during a strike.. too much work, plus i'd have to add bones to the reference model - might screw up the existing animations. Just pretend the flag's made of cardboard.

I've tried fixing most of the weightmap errors from the decompile, but i'll have to see what else crops up.
Increasing the polies for the flag didn't really visually change all that much, so i'll have to see whether the increased polycount is really worth it.

What else could need a makeover?

Who else agrees with me that it should shoot out rockets?

rocket flag? not quite as catchy as rocket crowbar though.

pF · 05-23-2008, 02:30 PM

Okay, so here's a quick fix. No rockets though.

Download (Rapidshare)

Extract this into your FF folder - it'll replace your standard crowbar, so either backup your files or use the backups in the archive. It's now slightly smaller and more to the side of the screen, and the texture has a more neutral color (& bumpmapping - possibly too heavily

).

Feel free to mirror this elsewhere (and post the link in here)..

Thank You kind sir

could make it so you hold the flag sideways with both hands like this
