Re-did Broadhead....again

[Dram]

Well this will be the last time I do it but finally I'm happy with it. No more strange smoothing leading into un-smoothed etc

 

[Dram]

...and on SVN

[Domarius]

Well, I think it's seen a lot of revisions, but it was worth it. This one is the best so far.

[Springheel]

Looks good to me as well.

[Dram]

Excellent...everyone's happy

[Domarius]

Yeah we're everyone.

[NeonsStyle]

Damn nice arrow Dram... Nicest I've seen in any teef version/mod

Thanks I'm glad you like it

[oDDity]

Why has a bow aiming gizmo suddenly appeared?

[Nyarlathotep]

Because that's Dram's local version. I seem to recall he put it up on ftp, somewhere.

[Baddcog]

looks good to me too.

Hehehehe

 

Yeah it's not on SVN don't worry

 

I basically added the metal rectangle and reanimated the bow to work with it.

Oooh gimme on SVN!

 

Nice arrow head, the only thing that makes me wonder a bit is how little the arrows stick into wood. I would have thought that they should go in deeper, esp. if you shoot them with a lot of power.

 

All the best,

I'll pack the anims up and put it on the ftp. The majority did not want the upright bow with the aimer, so I didn't commit it.

 

The arrow actually shouldn't go in deeply. The arrow head widens a lot and slows the arrow (which has a low mass by itself anyways) quite a lot as it enters solid wood. Of course, it depends what bow you use and what type of wood, but our thief uses a shortbow and I'd expect the wood it hit in the picture to be oak.

[Dram]

Ok I chucked the upright with aimer version on the ftp. Here's the link:

Thanks! I also prefer this version.

[New Horizon]

Yeah, I prefer it myself. Thanks Dram.

[Dram]

No problem

[Tels]

No problem

 

I prefer it, too

 

(I guess the laser-guided and heat-seeking arrows take a bit longer to design?

[Crispy]

Yeah, we'll have to spend a century or two raising the tech level of the world before the engineers can start building heat-seekers.

Maybe. But it would look a lot more convincing going into flesh if it went in more than a few centimeters.

 

[Ishtvan]

That's all tweakable in the def file, you can set how much it goes in for various surface types.

Yes of course, except you have to remember that the collision models on the models are simpler then the visual model.

 

Anyways, if it's too little then it can be tweaked in the def file as suggested

[Ishtvan]

Yes of course, except you have to remember that the collision models on the models are simpler then the visual model.

Actually if that's part of an AI collar, the collision model for projectiles hitting a living AI is exactly the visual model.

Ah, that's good to know. Carry on then.
