tranqrifle (laser mount on it)

That't not that bad of an idea actually...put an IFF on the player model right above his / her head, that way when you use 3rd person youll know whos good and whos not...only thing is youll have to have different player models for each team, is this possible?

erm wouldnt it show where snipers are from miles away? (big red permanent beam and all)

better not :(

please think before releasing.. please.

is it possible to see folks far away? i do believe so however it will be very difficult actually to see them too far. You also got to take into consideration that when the player moves the weapon the beam move really fast with the player because the beam is way out there... so it will be somewhat difficult to make out the lasers most of the times... but when they are zeroing in on you and are trying to concentrate on your area you may actually see it. keep it mind though that its only visible when you are facing the player, 95% of the time that is.

yes i thought before releasing... and the idea of adding target on the player model... not exactly on the player model but could be done with just that weapon.. however your thinking more along the lines of real cheats there.

this is just a cool idea done sniper weapons.

so could you add an IFF to the player model and have different models for each team or not. cuz if you can then someone needs to make it for the people that play in 3rd. :/


edit: hilikus, get on IRC

yes it can be done but ps would have to do it... ain't no way i would think about doing those t2 armors... i might be able to with t1 armors but i have to know how the armor skinning feature works.

im not trying anything with the player models till 3ds max stops freezing and crashing and on the whole being gay.
(the last one might never happen, so ill settle for the first 2)

shin, I tested this on CoN. You cant see the laser beam from about 100m away from a sniper looking right at you, unless you zoom. On RD and RC, the beam disappears (for me) at about 70m. Wont help pick out snipers that are far away, and if someone is sniping at 100m you should see them anyway.

ya i really wounldn't consider it... way to much of a hassle their... if your going play in 3rd person view... there should be a modification for tribes where theres servers only with that view.. would be kinda fun;)

Yeah okay, I was thinking a beam equivilent to that of the laser rifle's.
