Gibs (Body Parts etc.)

Bobbit

<div class="IPBDescription">Death/Ragdoll Gibs</div>Ok, so way back when there used to be things called "Gibs"

I want to suggest Gibs for ragdolls and or death gibs (Point of impact limb removal/disintegration) and explosion kills = boom and gibs everywhere
Adds a bit of fun and some loose "Realisim" to the game plus whats the use of blowing skulks etc. to bits if u can't see the bits lol

And maybe that way you can as an skulk eat bits to regain hp n stuff but thats a seperate idea all together

Stuff like this will cause the game to be unavailable in Germany and Australia...

Tha

i dislike gibbing on humans, on aliens shooting off a skulks frail legs might be alright.

And yea gibbing might get the game banned in aus however hopefully that shouldnt even be a problem.

Bobbit

Well if we use Left4Dead 2 as an example, the only reason we had to get the censored version was because they said that the zombies were infected "Humans"
AvP the new one isn't censored have you seen the amount of blood and decapitation in it? How did they manage to get it past?

And it's only death gibing they've used it in allot of games and they aren't banned in Australia and besides they can make it a simple option in game like a "Parent Control" then it wont effect anything at all (But i doubt they'd need to add a feature like that).

One good thing about gibs (if they're forced in the game) is no censored-language/Christian servers to worry about. For good measure we need some taunts built into the game that feature cursing, including ones that are involuntary (triggered by getting wounded etc) like they had in Bad Company.

One day the <bad> clan had some amazing NS1 scripting abilities that i've never seen anywhere else. One of the things they could do was force a ton of people to connect to the the NS1 christian server lol.

Bobbit

Lol i didn't even know there were..
Yeah i think that would be good for auto taunting would add more "emmersion" hahaha plus it would be interesting finding out what the community can come up with as taunts.

Lol scripts are fun.

---------------------------------

Tbh, gibs = fun/comedy, depending on what way you wanna look at it and besides gibs make everything better hahaha.

Hmm.. volumetric blood eh? that would be fun although would cause a bit of stress on gpu's/cpu's
depending on what way its done

UWE already stated that they're going to stay away from stuff like that.

Bobbit

Thats it. Mod time. lol.. now to figure out how..

But thats fairly lame anyways, did they also state why they were?

Excessive gibs are a bit cartooney. NS2 is more like an arcade shooter wearing a business suit. Look for explosions to knock you down and maybe throw you across the room, rather than tear you limb from limb in a shower of over-the-top gore.

Besides, most of the weapons are hitscan anyways.

Bobbit

Well then make it so they only Gib on explosions and not sarcastically..

SN.Wolf

hmmm, all my ns1 servers have massive amounts of gibs and blood with the use of plugins. Maybe if it's coded in and sprites are in place it could be a nice little server side option.
