Is that compressed or uncompressed?

[Clavus]

Uncompressed. But the majority (read: all) ZS content isn't compressed on the downloadserver so it's pretty much the same. Usually we only compress maps and such.

[Griffon]

M29 is the huge as revolver of kermites right?I love that thing, any chance in you putting a scope on it? xD

[Clavus]

Instead of finalizing the shop menu and loadout system like I should, I keep getting distracted by other tasks (which will still benefit the gamemode).

Updated my Particle Effect Tester tool on Toybox for example:

[EmRA]

where has this tool been all my life

[Clavus]

The new shop interface. Thoughts?

[VMR]

Looks cool. When will it be used? Will you have shops in certain maps where you buy gear and go back to the war, or is it at spawn?

[Clavus]

You can open the shop at any time (although it's recommended not to do it in the middle of a fight ). It depends on your loadout with what you spawn.

Buying a weapon will be permanent. I'm still trying to think out if I want certain stuff to have limited uses and such (like special abilities), which you can stock up on.

[Botervloot]

Needs filterable categories of the guns themselves somewhere.

Filters on things like price, power, experience and class. Descriptions will probably be more detailed. It would be neat if you'd get a 3D spin-around of the weapon when you click for more details.

From my experience putting a scroll bar in a in-game menu is a bad idea, other than that the shop looks nice.

If your looking for limited uses how about stuff like grenades,extra armour,night vision,a usable medpack or revive kit, adrenaline(increase speed/reduce damage taken), increased mag, increased max amo and stuff like that.

It has separate categories which can be expanded (weapons / upgrades / abilities / suits / extra), and every item there under is sorted in subcategories and by cost. Filters and 3D projections would be unnecessary, you're not spending that much time in the shop on average.

I was mainly thinking about limited uses for abilities. The other key options in your loadout will be primary, secondary weapons, a utility item (usually grenades / traps) and a suit (which gives a passive boost of some kind).

[Clavus]

Finished the loadout menu. Still a lot of empty space but I'll leave finetuning the design until after Garry's next update which is supposedly going to break everything anyway.

[Griffon]

As the scroll bar is more or less already at the end why not make the weapon icons a tad smaller in the menu and then have them all fit onto one screen?

Thats would decrease wasted space and remove the eed for a scroll bar (unless you plan on adding more primaries )

[Clavus]

There's a metric fuckton of items (about 50 weapons alone, I didn't have them all in that loadout screen). A scrollbar is pretty much a necessity.

[BouweV]

Get a bigger monitor if you don't want scrollbars, Griffon

[Griffon]

ohh well, if theres THAT much theres not much you can do about it >_>, looks like i will have to get a 30" monitor to have no scrollbars .

[Tennisballesser]

Soooooo many weapons

Looking ward to it

[Botervloot]

Will there be a closed (internal) beta for it?

[Clavus]

Will there be a closed (internal) beta for it?

Nope, gonna blow it wide open once I get a final few features done. And then hope for the best.

Added loadout saving btw, so you can quickly load different configurations you made in the past.

[Clavus]

We've reached a magical point: my TODO list for the first release is empty (however the LATER category has 38 entries ).

Ragnarok Conflict is getting a server. Tomorrow.

The following maps and gametypes will be playable:

• de_port - Supply Hunt
  
• cs_assault - Crash Site
  
• cs_office - VIP
  
• cs_italy - VIP
  
• ts_flood - Ghost Artifact
  
• ttt_vessel - Crash Site
  
• ts_backdraft - Ghost Artifact
  
• cs_parkhouse - VIP
  

[vicwarrior]

ClavusElite,

How much time have you spent on this entire project in total?

I don't know anything about Garry's Mod, but I like that you are determined to put so much effort in something so beautiful.

[Griffon]

+1 Rep cuz not only did you make a new gamemode, you made it in like what; 3-4 weeks?

[Clavus]

The project up till now might've claimed around 50 actually productive hours I think (and a lot more hours of procrastination).
