<div class="IPBDescription">Here's the deal</div> Ok, Flayra, I know you been doin yo best an all dawg, but I realle wan' tah see this get in, ya kno dawg?


Anywho, GREAT FACKING JOB DUDE!!!!!! I LOVE IT EVEN MORE NOW!

But, can you hold the 2.0x's and dedicate on getting the flamethrower fixed? (are you still trying?)

I would like some kind of cool flame weapon... I can't find my old post on the balrog flame gun or the napalm hurler.. .I think those would work just as well as anything.

GJ and keep it up!

I would send you $25 for the download, cept I dont' have pay pal, and if I knew where you lived, I'd also bring you a cake!

    Yes, I want a flamethrower to, I don't care if it looks beautiful(is that what this whole "volumetric flamethrower" thing is all about?).

    Jean, let me ask you something...

    Do you know how to code?

    Do you know the most basic C++ commands?

    Do you even know how to open up half-life's engine to be able to do what Flay's doing?

    Nope. You don't. Or you would have done this for him. Or'd we hurt you till you did.

    Seriously, I'm getting **** at the 90 people I've seen within the past hour say "we need a flamethrower"...they know. They're working on it. But making much of ANYTHING volumetric in NS is nigh impossible(as so I've heard), and frankly, Flay's got more important things to do. Even if he did 100% have it done right now, how long would you want to wait for them to balance it out?

    Learning to WRITE code is not hard, and unless half-life's interface is poorly documented, that should be easy as well. Writing GOOD code is much harder, but not stunningly difficult.

    I'm sick of people talking about programming like it is something only a small elite cadre of people can do. However, putting in the effort, time, and mental work to design and debug this mod is definatley commendable.

    On to the topic, I think the res flow steam looks pretty good, why not just color that red, make it a little more dense and slap it in? Instant flamethrower. I suppose you could get into lag issues, but then its gonna be laggy if its pretty anyway.

    Why not pose a challenge to anybody who reads these forums to come up with a good flamethrower code - a really good one - post screenshots, then the best one could get sent to the team?

    Worst part is, I think it's my fault. *angsts* That's what happens when I let something slip and bring the pain back again.

    Hey I can wait for a flamethrower, I'm just trying to figure out whether we'll ever see a NS flamethrower for HL, or whether it would have to wait for a new NS-ish game on HL2?

    Doesn't the Desert Crisis flamethrower look decent? Especially compared to the TFC flamethrower? I don't think the DC one is volumetric.

    Volumetric doesn't mean pretty. It means that the flame reacts like it SHOULD. If you shoot flame in to a vent, it shouldn't spread very much. It should spread to the limits of the vent, and end up going much further than if you were to fire it in a large, open room. And YOU may not care if the flame looks ugly, but FLAYRA does. This is HIS game, and if he doesn't want to put the flamethrower in until it behaves properly, or not at all, you have NO right to complain. AT ALL. If you don't like it, code a volumetric flamethrower and donate the code to him, or LEAVE.

    the idea is not to make a beautiful flamethrower, but a volumetric one, like the one in RtCW.

    a "volumetric" flamethrower means that it spreads out in open rooms, and makes a tight, vent-filling stream when fired into a vent... it must also extend farther in vents than it does in open spaces.

    Here's the thing... When oni swallow mines, then take a dump and drop 'em out... why don't they detonate? Could the marine not set them to "kaboom" mode? That'd be a nasty surprise for an onos, to go *harrrumph* and then *kaboom*!

    Yeh! Go off-topic posting!

    The problem you suffer, JLP, is that you'd be ok with a TFC-style flamethrower, even though that sucks.

    However, many more people would rather wait and get a good flamethrower.

    Go play TFC for a few months, then come back and see what's what.

    Hey I can wait, but IS a volumetric flamethrower even possible with HL?

    Thanks for cluing me in though, I wasn't sure what exactly volumetric was. Voluemetric=realistic. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Or, WAIT... WAIT... I'm getting a thought here (doesn't happen that often).... Combine the two ideas and make a PORN-THROWER!

    porn thrower...

    The sheer frustration that msut have been going through your head to make an offball idea like that makes it one of the funniest things i have ever read....

    RTCW flamethrower was amazing... cept when more than 2 ppl on ur team had one.. then the wick wasnt in the right place....... it was like 3 inches up in the air... and diddnt move when ur gun did... it was funny

    Your answer doesn't take into account hardcore conservatives and hardcore Christians. It also doesn't take into account some types of women.

    See how far from pleasing everyone your equation comes? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    A volumetric flamethrower means that it will expand to fill hallways, and be faster and more intense in small areas (like vents). It is not so much about being pretty as it is being realistic.

    eve tho hes doing it in a disturbing and unnatural way, all hes doing is *trying* to help, altho this thread gets us nowhere, its the thought that counts.

    Sick of your type, anyone adds an idea or opinion and you go straight to the dev **** kissing, super diss defense mode for the sake of argument. Grow up.
