Title: Are Black Mesa style "gun dirt" effects possible? Post by: Valvatorez Jr.Commissar on January 27, 2013, 03:49:34 PM In Black Mesa if you kill an enemy up close or get spewed on by a Bullsquid you get crude on your gun. Would that be possible in Exterminatus or is that something which is a single player only effect? This could only happen to Space Marine weapons as blood somehow won't get outside of his armor unless he's already lost a limb to a Xeno weapon.
In before somebody says something about Tyranids having the Acid Blood biomorph. Title: Re: Are Black Mesa style "gun dirt" effects possible? Post by: Stahlhagel on January 27, 2013, 05:08:40 PM that would be neat, but i guess it would require some weird coding based on weapon type. i think chrome wouldnt rejoice at the aspect of more work lol.
as for the acid blood, weve got something planned for that eventually. Title: Re: Are Black Mesa style "gun dirt" effects possible? Post by: ChromeAngel on January 28, 2013, 09:38:00 AM This should be possible in multi-player. I can think of a couple of ways they might have achieved this effect in BM:
I think the 1st is more likely as I seem to recall the splatter pattern looked the same for all weapons and that it faded out over time. If I were to do something like this, I would be more inclined to make it part of the HUD, like CODs "jam in the eyes" effect. I'm not actually planning on doing either of these, but I have given some thought as to how it could be done. |
