Inconsistent gore/ragdoll appearance

[nezul]

I like that static idea.

5 secs after a zed dies he turns static. its great to look at the finish (like DoW Dark Crusade) but i also know about the mod, people have suggested that their be a max body count. so say, after 80 or so zeds corpses they will start to disappear when more die. I like that idea however i doubt twi will invest time into such a small thing

Let them turn into low poly models, gibs and stuff. That way it wont hurt FPS.

And what about the CHINESE FAILED GRENADES from the M79/M32 you launch at specimens that are 3 meters away from you, and don't blow and make you get killed ?

that's to prevent you from blowing yourself up. you have to use a different weapon up close, grenade launchers wont work up close.

Demoman near a fleshpound disagrees.

 

[nezul]

you is going a little off topic.

i like the idea of bodies that stay, i think someone should put up a poll

LOL, what do you think would happen if that grenade exploaded 3 metres away from you? Thats right, it would turn you into gibs -.-

The safe-mechanism was installed for a reason you know.

I actually noticed that the more specimens you kill with a grenade launchers the more it is likely they will just disappear, although it happens with individual units a lot too.

 

[AsoBit]

Tom, have you noticed how we can't shoot through wood and things? I think this is very serious, and you should make another thread about it.

 

[nath2009uk]

no srsly
KF needs bullet pent.

 

[nezul]

i will correct you there, there is some areas where u can kinda shoot through wood. take the area on manor where the crawlers spawn near the trader (outside) you can shoot through that wood, i have manage to do it with a shotgun.

Good idea....now how to do it?

I would, but how do you hold a poll? I have been looking for the answer, but have found no way to make one (i know you can however).

not possible with UE2.5
sorry

cod4 was the first game to introduce bullet pent and it's engine is far newer and more capable

Wait...what? Operation Flashpoint has bullet penetration and it predates CoD 4.

lol i knew someone would tell me about some game that had it before cod4

okay, cod4 made bullet pent popular.

 

[Murphy]

Loads of games had it. Even mainstream ones like good ol' Counterstrike.

CoD4 didn't introduce this at all. It introduced it to the CoD series, fair enough, but other than that...

Ragdoll bodies are considered a modern neccessity, I guarantee if they switched to animated death models that there would cause an absolute uproar. In the past I've defended games with animated static death models (for lack of a better definition), but I gotta say that the ragdolls in KF are a fantastic touch. Using the shotgun and explosives wouldn't be half the fun without ragdolls. I can't believe anyone would suggest to take them out, wtf. Its a feature, not a limitation.

Occasionally a ragdoll has physics that go wonky like it gets stuck on some collision or looks like the zed is still alive. So the hell what. I giggle and move on. So the bodies occasionally disappear do they? I've never noticed, it must be pretty rare. Or maybe it only happens to some people. Have you got your Physics turned to high in game settings? Or maybe your GFX can't keep up?

not what i meant.

they would be ragdolls like normal when they die.

after they have fallen down and are have been lying on the ground for a while, they would turn into less laggy static objects.

Did anyone take into account that all these meshes will slowly cause you to take an fps hit, or that they will start blocking areas and may cause all kinds of collision problems?

that's why they wouldn't have clipping. you'd walk through them.

unrealistic yes, but it's not like there's a way to make that work.
