Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
Are the weapons still one-handed, the Harbinger appears to be and seeing it's a rotary cannon it doesn't make that much sense. Also, casings seem to burn through the ground like DSTech weapons. Can anyone point out where the .ini is that lists the added Dummies, it's wasted space for me and makes the Actor list too cluttered. Other than all that this is a nice faction.

Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
One-handed? I've fixed that already. And as for casings, it's probably because B23's standard shells are acidic. I believe there's a topic for this, look it up (search for ammo fix). And the dummies are dispersed in the weapons .ini s.
And yeah, I still need help on the weapons in Electro.ini, they currently suck hard, and I don't know what makes them suck so hard.

Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
These could need some shading.
But other than the shading, they really look awesome.

Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
Is it just me or do the arms on the humaniod type mech still pop of under the weight of a feather. Seriously I was using the mech when a tiny gib piece going at a pretty good but no lethal speed hits the gattling gun and the whole freak arm ejects off like it got hit by a dropship or something. I've tested this with normal clones and they only seem to wobble, nope no loss of limbs or anything just wobbling.

Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
Well that's weird... the arms on the battlesuit has 30000 jointstrength and gibimpulselimit. This is just weird. Lemme try upping it to 50000.
And on another note could anyone help me with the lua on the electro weapons? I really need the advice/fix/critic!

Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
The spriting is really good. The colour choices and shapes are really nice- I like how you used more than two colours while keeping everything coherent a nice to look at. Bonus points for not using black and red or blue and white or anything obvious like that. The lack of shading in some places does give it a flatter feel than certain other spriting styles, but with the colour scheme it works out as complementary, almost. The 'bots have a really nice, distinct feel to them. The broad, broad armour plates are really made unique and also unified by the markings. The drones are nice, we always need more of those. The guns feel like they feel their separate niches well, and personally I like the load outs. The offsets are without flaw (as far as I can tell) and overall the mod seems fairly balanced (minus the mech).
On the other hand, there are some issues. Although the humies look pretty good, and their colours are arranged well, they don't seem like they fit in so well with your "Ancient Egyptian-esque" theme. They look like cossacks. Also they are a little soft. In multiplayer I'm sure that they would play their role as expendables well and that a player using this faction could safely rely on mechs for the important defensive points and the big assaults. Although this may be mostly due to the arms always die all the time problem (which I'm sure you're aware of) my guys always feel like they're being disarmed. Though it feels like a balanced faction, these two things maybe make it less fun than intended. A small quip, but the laser weapons need some tinkering. They are pretty weaksauce as is, though fun to look at and there are enough projectile guns to make the faction feel complete without them.
Edit: Wow my first wall of text. Dude that took forever- Miles, if you see this, I want to say that I don't know how you do it.

Arms popping off.
Other than that I love this mod, because of its style.

Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
You should try to do some futuristic Egyptian desert eagle or magnum like the ones in Borderlands. One like this : http://artbyjessemoody.com/borderlands/ ... at_hp2.jpg (I'm not putting in it an img cauz of the excessive resolution of the gun.) This or a desert eagle, but it really needs a bigger sidearm imo. Edit : Nvm the desert as the current sidearm still looks like it a little, but stills need a magnum with hueg recoil.

Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
that gun is a bit enormous! but i like that idea. Even more about magnum, because I'm bored of Desert Eagles in every mod. We see it everywhere!

Its not designed for classical size of astronauts XD technically it will destroy his hand... [OnTopic] Classical deagles are classical because they do their job well done, I'd like to see a dual desert eagle with Shamsy look ^^

Now that I saw that bayonet, I wanna see a lua activated spring-loaded bayonet on the assault rifle. Anyone for Darkstorm combat knife code ripping?

Re: Shamsy Electric Technologies - update 11/11/09
Try lowering the JointStiffness on the weapon and arm to reduce arm popping.
