SS2 list of broken and lowpoly objects that need fixing

[673799949ef70voodoo47]

shotgun would be icn_sg.pcx/icn_sgb.pcx in objicon.crf, if you don't want to swap the icons in Shocked.

[673799949f223Olfred]

I tried that, but the icon stayed the same.
Even tried as a pcx file.

Or can't I load it with BMM?

[673799949f45fMarvin]

BMM would have no problems with it, unless you messed up the folder structure.

[673799949f557Olfred]

Guess I must be stupid then.
I have it set up like this. Ingame I still have the regular shotgun icon.

nope, my fault, didn't check this in gamesys - did now, and it's actually icon_shotgun and icn_sgb

bloody unused resources.

[673799949f757Olfred]

Deceiving!

I tried my best to get it in line with the already presented icons in the game.

They used a 12-character filename?

Hey Olfred, what do you think about improving the ring buoy models? The vanilla model is a slightly angular torus for the ring, with the rope framing it represented by a single flat polygon. So upgrading that rope border to full 3D would be the hard part. And there's only about four of them in the entire game. So it might not be worth the effort?

[673799949fb8cvoodoo47]

they did, it seems.

yep, icons are good to go, so ho-ho-ho, now we have a (laser) machine gun - will patch Minstrel sometime next week. attaching a full Minstrel minimod in case someone would want to fool around in the meantime (summon_obj laser rifle).


thanks as always.

ZylonBane, that's not really a hard part. I can make one. What's the model name again?
But what about the textures?

EDIT:
Nevermind the model name. I already found it myself. But I have one question regarding it. Does it actually hang somewhere or is it always laying on the ground?

[673799949fd66voodoo47]

it does hang at a couple of places.

[673799949ff43ZylonBane]

In SCP it's hanging instead of just magically sticking to the wall.

Note how they didn't even bother trying to depict the straps that hold the rope to the ring.

This reminds me, in the vanilla rope object (rope.bin), it looks like the texture is rotated 90 degrees from how it should be.

[67379994a003dOlfred]

I jiggled and juggled around with the UV map and... yeah, it seems it's not rotated.
At least that way it is now looks the best (In my opinion). The texture itself doesn't make for a good rope texture.

[67379994a0191Kolya]

Does it really need a rope when that is unlikely to ever look/behave realistically?

[67379994a0266ZylonBane]

I'm not sure what you're asking.

[67379994a0351voodoo47]

a retextured pipe model would probably do a better job at being a rope (or at not being rectangular, if nothing else).

[67379994a0422Olfred]

Who hangs himself solely with a metal pipe?

[67379994a04f6voodoo47]

a 1999 game npc who doesn't want to deal with HL: Opposing Force style ropes.

[67379994a077aunn_atropos]

My question would be where the rope came from on this futuristic FTL spaceship.
Someone hacked a replicator to replicate some rope? Someone had the foresight to put it into his/her luggage? The many tied it together from several strings they, uhm, pulled out of carpets?

How about making it a cable? Just needs to be red or blue and offers a more nasty sight of strangle.

[67379994a0866ZylonBane]

I'm not at all clear on why you believe rope will cease to exist in the future.

And hey, bike-shedding!

[67379994a0b22RocketMan]

I was wondering that myself.  Has rope become obsolete or something?  Here we go with the toilet paper and seashells

[67379994a0c92voodoo47]

one could simply rip the rope off the ring buoys.

also yeah, completely forgot that I wanted to suggest a bathroom overhaul for SCP beta3 - towels, toilet paper rolls, urinals and stuff like that, the models all already exist so it's just a matter of deciding whether we want to go with paper, or those three shells.

[67379994a0d7cZylonBane]

Not sure if serious.

[67379994a0e83voodoo47]

well, the vanilla bathrooms do look quite empty once you've seen ones in Christine's FMs, a bunch of towels and stuff would not make things worse.

[67379994a0f8dRocketMan]

But towels are unsanitary for a PUBLIC bathroom.  Maybe in personal quarters it would make sense.  Unless the towel was one of those huge roll-style towels that feeds back up into the dispenser and you only pull down a few inches at a time.
