Spraypaint?

BCSeph · April 2010

<div class="IPBDescription">Possible to do in lua?</div>I have a feeling the devs wont add in sprays, since it really isnt crucial to the game. Nonetheless, would it be possible to add them back in with lua? I mean who doesnt love spraying your image of choice (in my case, a fake ladder) all over the map?

Anthoni · April 2010

As soon as decals get implemented into the engine, yes this would be very possible. Yet if you just want to spray fake ladders all over the place why not just make a Lua mod that plops down the model? XD

remi · April 2010

I think it actually would be possible now... Maybe.

Or at least it would be if we had the cinematic editor so we could make our own effects.

Let script it in, make it the first game with TRUE spraypainting. As in, spray paint can viewmodels, and an action delay on the actual process of the painting.

ie. spray painting takes time, and has a visible in game action. That would awesome

You know, all of this also needs to be going trough the tubes of the net... I just want my old fashioned goldSRC/Source spraypaints (maybe this time with flash animation of 10 seconds max, flash files are also tiny when using vector shapes!)

Egg spaypaint was funny in Natural-Selection for a while, seeing gullible marines shooting at it from across the room :P

I dont think its really needed. It posed more of an annoyance, especialy on no-porn-spray servers, when half of the players are in for a ban because they redecorated the ready room into a volume of playboy or hustler.

Kouji_San · May 2010

I've only seen that kind of stuff about 3 or 4 times... And I've played a lot of source/goldSRC :P

puzl · May 2010

believe me, a volume of playboy or hustler would be very tame compared to some of the filth I've seen spray painted on servers.

Not that I think this is a reason to not implement it or anything.. I just think spray paint, as a feature in NS2, is a waste of limited development resources.

Just a random Idea: Plot down 3-d projections to mess with the other players to think there is something there.
Or just a viewing of a person spray painting at the time. lol

I've never seen sprays used for much more than porn and anime crap. I wouldn't miss it if they didn't put it in.

Hey! I like anime. Keep yer hateful opinions to yourself.

But I wouldn't mind if sprays weren't in.

It'd be hard spraying with all the prop walls.

###### it guys, why not make this a mod?
Get a team of guys going, lets make some sort of futuristic laser printing apparatus for marines to use, add in the appropriate delay, maybe have aliens have some sort of spitting process.

Lets make it unique and distinct.

if the most entertaining reason for sprays is to discract other players.. but they'll have to download a mod to make it work.. who would even bother? Not me. Sprays are a waste of time.

MCMLXXXIV · June 2010

Ahh but in NS2 the mods auto-download I believe - it'd be just a server-side mod.

All we need is for texture operations to be visible from the lua and some kind of way of transferring the texture across to the client (I presume this'll be necessary for the mod loading architecture to work anyway).

Yeah, auto-download is a given. It's silly to say otherwise

Plop down walls of concrete to block of all exits from Marine Start.

Nobody wins, but nobody loses(so you really all do win in the end).

=D

I love the idea of Spraypaints. Loved it in NS1

Dank McShwagger · July 2010

i hope they dont implement sprays into this game... ive seen enough ###### sprays in tf2 to last me a life time :S

Kouji_San · July 2010

As prop heavy as Spark is, finding a place to put that spray will also be hard :P

I know and realize that spray painting in games is an essential item in the HL/HL 2 games. As NS is a HL mod we have been using it for years. I just like having the fact to be able to press T to spray which what i have is default against the floor or wall. I use it as a mockery ha ha I killed you sort of thing. Also in every other game I am in I am always trying to mash T to spray a tag to no avail. Regardless I like the idea and a mod for simply spraying tags would be very small compared to some of the sounds or decals added in for a map to work. It would probably be only be a couple of seconds to a minutes worth of time then once you have it you have it.

I am almost positive that if some people got together and released a spray paint mod that there will be a good bit of servers out with it. I like mods to an extent and don't think this would hurt it one bit. Maybe make an option to turn off the mod client side for personal client use.

Bumping for every Zig while waiting to join NS2. Yeah for some reason the game just isn't loading at all.
