XM8 lightweight assault rifle model in progress

[geogob]

Here are the screenshots it took during this test...

#1 Shows the penetration on the 3rd wall but not on the second one. There are no holes one the second wall from the left. Where did the shrapnel go? Guess where... check the second screenshot...

#2 Show where the shrapnel from the HEDP impact on wall number two went... This screenshot was taken without duke's muty whereas the first was taken with duke's muty running (the effect is exactly the same when a HEDP is fired at that wall).

%-------------------------------------------------------------

This brings me to a possible issue with duke's new weapon icon mutator...

Screenshot #3 show this pretty clearly with the Ka-Bar icon. Also visible in the HK69 icon in screenshot #1. This issue (unwanted auto/semi display) only appears when the new weapon icon mute is running.

BSG3 solves a penetration problem made by 40mm compatible sounds
The thread for the penetration problem
Its the the attached file named RevisedBS.zip

With several more test the srapnel sometimes does apear yet i have yet to get bomborded with srapnel

 

[geogob]

thx for the info... i'll do some more tests with BSG3

EDIT: just tested it... exact same problem. no change in DM-INF-WallTest

EDIT (bis):

I just want to insist on the fact that this is NOT a penetration problem (if you didn't get it in my first post) but its due to the shrapnel of the HEDP "fired" in the wrong direction uppon impact. If i understand the new40mm mutator, on impact, highspeed bullet-like shrapnels are spawned to go through the wall of impact. What happens is that the spawn direction is somehow screwed.

This has nothing to do with dukes XM8 from what I see here and should be taken to yurch's new 40mm thread (or to a new seperate thread).

 

[sir_edmond]

Ill take it up with Yurch then

 

[MP_Duke]

will look into icon issues

Duke, a small request, if I may. Could you edit your first post in this thread and add the download link to the most current version there as it developes? The thread is getting large and it would be easier to find the download link to the most current version if it was in your first post.

Updated betas

dukeXM8b 04.04.01 10:08 AM
dukeADDHUD 04.04.01 10:40 AM

Fixed:
-weapon modes were being displayed on non-usable weapon mode guns (knife, pistol, etc.)

Consequently, I had to update a small property for the XM8.

NOTE: Links on first post

Great mutator!
Can I also suggest readme files?
I don't really know where to put some of these files.

Also, does anyone know how to summon 3rd party added things? I'd like to get ammo for the XM8 and Yurch's new grenades while offline.

heres a brief guide:
.utx goes into inf/textures
.uax goes into inf/sounds
.u and .int goes into system (for mutators) or inf/system (for map decos)

sometimes theres music, but forgot what the extension for that is... anyway that goes into inf/music.

Actually you can put the .u map decos in inf/maps
You can find several of them already there by default.

Alrighty!
Thanks guys.
So does anyone know how to summon 3rd party items?
I used the editor to find the names of them, but they don't show up in-game.
The same for the HK69, odd.

 

[Dr.J]

And, if worse comes to worse and the rest of that crap doesn't work, you can always manually summon:

summon new40mm.newHK69
summon new40mm.M397Shell
summon new40mm.HEDPShell

and just look up the rest of the entity names

@MP_Duke
your xm8 mod ist great

one question/suggestion:
using a reddot sight in rl your both eyes are open, it looks like the aiming optics and parts of the weapon are transparent.
is it possible to make the aiming optics of your xm8 a little bit transparent?

thx for answers

 

[TitanBlue]

IMHO the crosshair-mask could be a bit more intensive to use it in brighter environments like a desert.

Is it possible to put a black mask with a round hole at the front end of the optics, so it looks a bit smoother. And perhaps a grey one at the rear-end?

Sound is much better now.

 

[mbs357]

and just look up the rest of the entity names

Woo!
Thanks!
So Yurch's mod was disabling my old HK69 in favor of the one modified for the new 40mms?
That makes sense. =O
You are my hero!

 

[Dr.J]

no problem . glad to be of help.

The more I use this, the more I like it..

Duke, when the latest (01.04.04) version is in my system folder, UT gets somehow unstable and crashes very ofter. Very weird problem but seem to have been solved by removing it from the system folder. Previous version had no such effects.

When I say crash, i really mean crash... not some dumb gpf ingame... even in the interface before i get any game started, ut would crash. Sometimes it's that way, other times it's while playing.

Maybe it's my inf installation that's fubar. I can't be sure.

Ooh.

Nice.

How does the NV work?

Is the green glow visible to other players online?

Could you make a NV attachment for other weapons (i.e. it gets mounted inline with the other optics)? Thinking specifically of the M4 here.

Could you make NV headgear?

I don't know if Duke found an online solution (that would be so sweet), but as of now, it only works offline.
