I'll be back in business (to update mapcycle on n1) within the next weeks. Can you give me a link where I can dl all of them? (I do have the fantastic mappack already)

Well I just finished coding a draft version of the M583A1 parachute star cluster 40 mm nade. It's like a normal 40mm, but it explodes after some distance and becomes a nice parachute flare. It uses the Freon Flares from RoadToKandahar, to give you an idea what it looks like

should be nice for night maps too!

Flares!!! Nice! Its after all an option for whom is loaded with grenade lauchers and can "bring some light" to the rest of the team... even with NVG you need an extra light source to increase the vision range, right??? Good work, geo!

 

[ant75]

Nice! Could it be possible to add it to the equipment too ?

 

[Lethal Dosage]

Nice, i remember asking for some along time ago, if you want do you want me to post a pic of what one looks like along with the writing on the side?

Even just so there is an accurate model in the Loadout screen.

 

[geogob]

stop talking about it and do it
or do you really need someone beging for it

 

[zeep]

looking good geo. :tup:

 

[Lethal Dosage]

Just a suggestion, make the flare REALLY bright! like the ones in the movie Platoon. Although they are actually Trip Parachute Flares. Can we have some of them too? They could be set up sorta like Claymores, taking like 8 secs to stick to a wall, then Alt Fire with your knife to run the wire.

Heres a pic of the parachute flare, if you can't make out the text, its:

CARTRIDGE 40MM
WHITE STAR
PARACHUTE
M583A1

And two of the Trip Flare holder. The text on it is:

FLARE SURFACE TRIP M4914
LOW93J016 - 002

Although i'm not sure about the M4914 bit its hard to make out.

 

[geogob]

Thank you.

Nice reference, although the photos are out of focus. did you take them from a little too close?

 

[Lethal Dosage]

The digital camera i used is fairly old, and i tried to get the text in focus as much as i could, oh well.

Do you think the trip flares are a good idea though?

 

[geogob]

yes, but not that easy to implement. I will consider it.

 

[Lethal Dosage]

So any progress?

 

[geogob]

Yes! indeed. My masters thesis is going very well. I also had two good parties last weekend and I made quite some progress with that girl. No more details for you sir.

We also elected, in January, a progressive-conservative party, which doesn't mean anything since they are rather conservative and no progress is to be seen there.

 

[Woden]

I call bs on the girl progress.

 

[geogob]

your only post is to call BS on something I said

What's amusing is that, above all, you are wrong

 

[Midwinter]

The only thing from that girl that gets geo interested is that she is good at Uscript

 

[M. Fenix]

See I told you someone (okay was wrong who) would call you on that, Woden

Mid, the love scene:
girl: just subclass and hardcode it fast
geo: baby, you bring the OOP to my functions

I agree geo on the progressive-conservative stupidity.

 

[geogob]

I'm not sure what I should reply to this coding-girl fantasy...

I think I need to work a little on my image in here
Thank god it's not as bad in RealLife™
