i probably wont have much time for it, but i had an idea the other day.

The energy weapons in this mod use the code from the district9 mod as a source (this was my first mod),
would it would be a good idea to edit some of the content of the mod (playersprites, dropship, ect) then rename it "The MNU" (multi-national-united from district nine) then it would fit in along-side the district nine mod and act as some kind of unofficial expansion, editing would be minimal since it already shares the colour scheme, but weapons would have to be balanced against the D9 mod.

more importantly though cortex command could be played as MNU Vs Prawns
this got me excited, i would like to do this, but what do you guys think?
bearing in mind i dont have much time to do this atm cause of exams.

in d9 it is not MNU vs the prawns but it is MNU trying to evict the prawns from d9. it would still be fun to play MNU or Prawns against each other, and use those little white guns the MNU people always have

yeah to revise what i wrote above, while repurposing my mod would be cool, distributing it as a new mod would be better.

Judging from the screens in the OP, the actors' sprites need a little more work. However, I've not yet used them in-game, will give feedback shortly.

EDIT: What I'm saying here has probably already been said before, but the weapons are way too rapey. The sprites could also do with improvements, for both actors and weapons.

Ok awesome mod. But their view is pretty f***** up. I fixed on my computer but i suggest you do it to the original. If you dont want to fine just giving feedback

hmm do you mean the zoom?

They have their vision on the other side of most maps.

Agreed. For some reason, they are not centered onscreen as other actors are; instead, the screen centers on the point at which the actor is looking, at a distance equivalent to about, say, the assault rifle's sharplength. Not actually problematic; in fact, I find it mildly amusing, and somewhat refreshing, after having every actor center on the screen, and it provides an interesting variation in control patterns.

That, and though the sprites aren't exactly top-quality, they look pretty nice as they move through the game, and it's a nice mod. Good work.

thanks
i think the aimdistance is something to do with this section of the actor code

this is the code from the initiate, you might notice doesnt have this effect much

this is from the heavy who has it the most

im not sure, but i think that is how i did it
it was a long time ago that i built the actors so i could be wrong

added something new http://forums.datarealms.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=18688
if you dont like the crowguard being so uber, play it with this modification

Yes thats the codes i changed it to 40 and it worked fined.

LOVE the laser! One of the best lasers out here in my opinion.

thanks,
the inspiration and code for how to do it is taken from the D9 mod repulsor (although its been hugely modified)
so chek that out if you love it

BTW i downloaded your mod, will test it tonight
