Marine Overhaul

RobB · November 2006

<div class="IPBDescription">Using Engine Options</div>The Marinemodell should make heavy use of the Options the new Engine provides, like Lightsources in the Armor, that Iluminate the Surroundings, plus a Widecone Flashlight, that instead coming out somehere of the Body of the Marine or the Weapon, has a fixed origin on the Helmet or Shoulder. A Searchlight would be the best Option, but that is still up to the Graphics department.

Is that not from Huxley? That's based on Unreal3 engine.

I know I know, but it's only an Idea.
I'm pretty sure that Models in Source can glow, too!

The marines do have a orangish light on the front of their armor. Maybe it should have a small amount of glow on the armor itself from that (no dynamic light projected, but you could see a glow around the light).

Or, just tie that light to whenever you kick on the flashlight your armor lights up with its flashlight.

Yes. Yes, I had something like that in Mind.

Imagine you are walking through a dark Hallway with your Friends, hear a chuckle of a skulk or something *flick flick flick flick flick* Room's lit as Vegas and you all glow like an XMas Tree...

Might be overpowered, though <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

So, a Powerlimit on the Armorlight, maybe?

Well Phong lighting should be released with Episode 2. The NS team could probably make good use of that. Phong lighting would actually be very nice for alien life forms, because they are more textured.

I have an idea of my own now. But I'll make a new thread.
