Left Handed Models?

in NS General Discussion
<div class="IPBDescription">in 2.0?</div> Will there be left handed models for some of the weapons in ns 2.0? Or is it all right handed?

I know some guns would look the same left handed but for those that doesn't ( like hmg or pistol or fade acid rocket ) will there be left hand models?

thanks

    Well, I'd better jump & down & scream about discrimination.

    Oh, wait, I forgot.

    I don't care.

    Why not just code it in so its the same as in cs, you just have to change and option and the models mirror themselves (I'm not talking about the pre 1.4 versions, I mean how it still only takes one model, but it mirrors...I dunno how they did it though).

    Most lefties (like myself) would be sticklers and want a left-handed viewmodel for the LMG with the clip still on the left side of the gun (thus requiring a new reload animation as well). That said, there are no currently plans for left-handed viewmodels. Sorry guys.

    Well the LMG/HMG (bolt pull for the HMG) would be the only things you would have to reanimate, you could pretty much just flip the other stuff around like they do in cs 1.4+.

    Is it really that bad to have right handed models?

    I'm right handed, and I used right handed models, but I'm just thinking of the people that AREN'T right handed and that DON'T like to use right handed models.

    Well Coil I'd have to disagree with you. I'm a lefty and I don't care which hand the model holds the gun with. I mean really aren't there better things for the NS team to do.

    Anyway, you can always assume that during training, all marines are trained(forced) to use their right hand, thus making everyone use the same equipment. I would think that this is the case in real life, but I don't know.

    "Only left-handed people are in their right minds..."

    Anyway. I'm right handed, but I actually often prefer left-handed view models. *shrug* Ah well. I don't complain if they aren't there, but I guess I'm just one of those groundbreaking types. I imagine any second I'll be executed and become a martyr for the cause! Woohoo!

    I'm disappointed there will be no left handed models. I got used to 'sighting left' to the crosshair back in Q2 days (cant remember if Doom2 had them or not) and its really more of a frame of mind thing. I'm not that sad, however, since there is no left handed bite, and most of my playing time so far has been on aliens as skulk.
    I am very left handed tho, I use the mouse left handed and have most of my kb binds in the KP section (kp_ins is my strafe right, kp_del is my reload, kp_rightarrow is use, ect...), and again, a left handed model allows my to aim from the mouse (in my mind, at least)

    IRL most of the weapons are able to be used by both left and right, so training issues rarely come up.

    Sinister is (modern sp) latin for left, and dexter is (modern sp) latin for right, for those who care.

    Ah well, I've been playing NS without them so far, I can wait for 2.1 (or 3.0) hint, hint...

    Heh, technicaly its not a hand, so it wouldn't apply...

    And in all the concept art, it hangs over the right shoulder of the fade.

    Should there be left/right models for SkulkBite? o_O

    Left handed people are in their right minds? If it bugs you so much that your in the middle of attacking something and die; do you say "DAMIT! Distracted by the right handed model again! No fair you h4kr!" are you really in your right mind? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/2/icon6.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

    Actually, it took a long time for right-handed models to be an option in CS because it's a non-trivial task. (You can't just mirror the models.)

    yows didn't expect this thread to go big

    anyways I don't mind if there arent no left hand models just something for a polish if ns 2.0 is ready to go and is still waiting for the realese date.

    "to please both sides" as one may say but that person is right there are more important things to work on ns than left handed models.

    lol, there is no difference between lefties and righties... so there cannot be any sides...

    it will probably be somethign thats added when not much else can be...

    (hopefully the 'cant add anyhting else' stage will never happen though. although inevitably (sp) it will)

    If I'm not mistaken, werent Leonardo Da Vinci and Michaelangelo both left handers?

    What KFS said is true. The right hand side of the body is controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain, whilst the left hand side of the body is controlled by the right hemisphere.

    That said, left handed models would be nice for lefties. Options are always good, but it also depends on if the devs really can be bothered. If they cant then the lefties will simply have to make do (and take their revenge later <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->).

    I'm right handed, but I'd like be ambidextrous <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
