!!! WMP Contest Discussion !!!

[Postal]

This is a simple competition with a grand prize of 50 dollars and a runner up of 25, we are flexable, we even extented the deadline by 50%.

If we cant get 10 entries now why should be bother to have a contest for 2k4?

Early chats had an estimated prize of 200 for 2k4. Im not going to put money to something that obiviously not working.

Anywho, who all else is going to submit something? 4 days left.

Oh, go sit on a grenade.

P.S.
My Lava Caster is a child of the Bio Rifle, and I need some help on this code:

class DamTypeLavaGlob extends WeaponDamageType
	abstract;

defaultproperties
{
    DeathString="%o was ignited by %k's Lava Caster."
	MaleSuicide="%o was terminated by his own lava."
	FemaleSuicide="%o was terminated by her own lava."

    WeaponClass=class'LavaCaster'

    bDetonatesgoop=true
    bDelayedDamage=true
}

That is the damtype lava glob code. Should I make it different the WeaponDamageType, I mean. Should it be extends damtypebioglob?

 

[Donator]

That's totally up to you, but on a general sidenote, sticking to the superclasses like weapon, weaponfire etc. will generally cause you much less headache then subclassing from LinkGun, for example. That goes for weapons and firecode, it won't make much of a difference with a damtype though.

Pff. How come it takes people months to knock out a weapon?
If you find a free hour or two and really set your mind to it you can get it done virtually in one night.

Maybe for you, but this is my FIRST EVER attempt at making a weapon. I know how to model (average in this category) I know a small bit of code (terrible), how to skin a little (worst category) and I know how to animate (average).

So you see, I am below average on almost everything. Soldat, EvilDrWongPhD, and Donator help me, but most of the time it's just on the forums, and it takes hours to get my questions answered. If you have any messenger, tell me so I can contact you and ask for some help, please. I have a scant few days left, and I still need a bit of code, a better skin, and a small amount of animating.

Any person with an instant messenger that knows how to code, skin, and animate would you please contact me?

MSN Messenger: rofl_451
AOL Messenger: LazerClawz
Yahoo Messenger: rofl_451

Please, anyone PM me and log on to any messenger and search for my name. PM me with the messenger name so that I can log on to it. I will wait on AIM because I know both Wong and Soldat have that one.

TEH HELP ME!

 

[Nereid]

Ha, I have 3 days left to model, skin, and animate my weapon. (I've only done code so far This is my first real custom-model weapon for UT2003, so wish me luck!

ROFL, I wish I could help you there but I'm kind of stuck in the same sort of situation. :/

Sounds, what about sounds, you gotta fit sounds in there too.

 

[ROFL 451]

Sounds, what about sounds, you gotta fit sounds in there too.

Im using Bio Rifle sounds

 

[Postal]

I had a real good idea for a competition, what about a weapon non-weapon pack. Stuff like grapneling hooks and shields.

Anywho, Im not going to do another pak, I just want to finish this one.

 

[Donator]

Or tactical stuff for onslaught only, like anti-vehicle mines, tank barriers, barbed wire, laser fences, auto turrets, repair stations, autonome teleporters, proximity sensors, spy drones, EMP warheads to capture vehicles, satellite uplink (for player positions on the minimap), flare gun (attracting all active AVRILs), gravity nullifier (to get your goliath where you need it REALLY fast)...

 

[soldat]

or new melee fighting modes... we should all do a different melee weapon, and add combos you can pull off.

finally finished my last problem set......................... painful. so its over, and time to work some more. does anyone know how much ut2k4 is retailing for? i don't have a dvd drive and can't buy that special 2 dvd pack.

 

[Postal]

Seems like its 30 and 40 respectivly. I paid 40 for the special DVD verson. I fear I will get it before my new computer.

Anywho, Donator, Soldat, ROFL451 and who ever else. Im looking foward towards youre entries.

I thought about that, I'm just using Flak Cannon and BioRifle sounds right now.

[debucode]
