Imperial Heavy Repeater

VM_FRESISTPUSH - resist push

VM_FMINDTRICK1

VM_FMINDTRICK2

[eezstreet]

Yup, that should do. Let me know if you want anything else mapped, like use animation or something.

[Tempust85]

VM_IDLE seems to be tied to the 1-framed gun holding animation, and VM_READY just isn't recognised. They are both 1-framed animations for now so you won't see a change when you fix it.

Hi,

 

I have pushed a commit which fixes the G2 viewmodels to act consistent with MD3 models in regards to how the FOV works. I also have some preliminary stuff for force powers done (Force Push and Pull work)

WARNING: Leaving out anims in the animations.cfg may lead to a crash! (specifically when it tries to run those anims)

[Tempust85]

Ok cool.

 

Bah:

 

VM_FABSORB

VM_FABSORB_START

VM_FABSORB_END

[eezstreet]

Give me a link when you've got more animations in.

 

Here's a screenshot of progress so far:

 

 

 

 

I think the hand and weapon might be raised too much. I was thinking something more akin to Bioshock 2:

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: and if you could go ahead and put that idle animation in, i can test it and see what's going on. My most recent merge with `master` might be why that's broken

[Tempust85]

Yeah, I also need to slow the animations down a bit. A lot easier now I can see how it is in-game, thanks eez.

[Stoiss]

Nice progress guys

[eezstreet]

I still think that the push hand is too high and the pull hand is too close to the screen. But it looks good! How seamless do the animations play with firing etc?

There's something screwed up with the rendering of FX (including the muzzle effect but I think you already knew that) so I think that needs to be looked into before I can do the lightning/grip/whatever effects in first person.

[Tempust85]

Having an issue with grip not playing properly. I've sent you a PM eez.

[eezstreet]

I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

On my cell, I can't make out shit from your screenshots... will check this evening on my PC. How about making these screenshots in a well-lit "first-map" demo map?

[eezstreet]

Here's a better picture

[Archangel35757]

What is the 1st-person camera FOV? And does the camera position match the player's centered-eye position?

[eezstreet]

My setup: FOV 100 / Viewmodel FOV 80 afaik

Not sure what you mean by that other stuff

In real-life 1st-Person we see things with a FOV of 50mm... if I recall-- you should give 50 a try to see what it looks like.  The other thing is the View Model origin... the View Model has a camera origin, correct?  If it does (as I believe it should) where is this 1st-Person View Model Camera origin set?  In my opinion the View Model camera origin should be located centered between the eyes and locked to track the Head bone transforms.

[eezstreet]

Turn cg_fov to 50 and see if it's anything playable.

[Tempust85]

cg_fovviewmodel 70 looks nice to me with the new repeater.

I've tweaked the effects to play at 0,0,0 origin for the new repeater. I've updated the PK3 - now is assigned to replace the old repeater, added effects fixing. Same link as always in your current PM's.

[Grab]

Almost all multiplayer players play with 100(97) cg_fov or higher(mods). I play 130. Could take picture with that fov?

[Omicron]

160 fov ftw. Wish I could see that irl

[Tempust85]

You guys are nuts, that just makes things look hella weird.

[eezstreet]

Yup, looks like shifting the muzzle effect did the trick. Nice job. I also added something nifty:

 

Now go forth and make me some more animations.

[Tempust85]

Roger.

(1) Is there a way to reduce how long the force power effect is played on the hand(s)? (2) I've noticed sometimes after a level load (next area) that the force power meter on the HUD stops functioning and flickers. (3) Also, the viewmodel likes to disappear after grip is played. Was doing this before your grip fix as well.

[eezstreet]

(1) I could decrease the time. I just need a precise idea of how long to do the cutoff (I'm thinking I could try 500ms)

(2) Yup, confirmed bug. No idea what causes it yet.

(3) "Grip fix"? Also, as I said above, make sure you have an animation for Force Lightning being released.
