hl2 - gibs Thread

look around at the current crop of games, and how many of them have gibs?!

the only ragdoll game i can think of with gibs is ut2k3/4.

max payne 2, far cry, halflife2, doom3, painkiller, hitman2/3, stalker, not even postal 2(that i can remember)!

NO GIBS!

so i have a mission for a coder, and an amateur modeller (hell, a coder learning moddeling could make gibs :-P)

make people explode into organs when i RPG them. Nade Them. Unload 2 rounds of buckshot into them.

thanks ;D

Woo, we want Gibs! And there is a mod for Postal 2 that adds gibs, although it is a bit cheesey. No real experience with modeling just torn ligiments where you expect them to come off!

I would do it but i cant code for shiznit

Oh, I know how to code gibs, it's easy as spawning gib entities and giving it random velocities multiplied by the health amount (which would probably be negative) when the player's health is below -40 on the death function.

What he said...

what aea said...

note: that would be so fun

Yeah Gibs could be easily incorporated into HL2.

hmmm wats gibs?? im thinkin of chickens

bits of body

so if you got shot by a rocket launcher, tons of bits of body would fly everywhere, legs, arms, heart, chunks of stomach

GIBS :D

i love this world

It sounds like that Half-Life mod, Team Fortress

That sounds like a lot of fun, and realistic too! I'd love to toss a grenade into a group of players and watch the bits fly with HL2's realistic physics. Watch a piece of a leg fly and hit someone in the head to knock off some HP

lol luvin tht idea karuto

well if there was gibs, the whole ~HL2 AMAZING PHYSICS~ would be lost

becuase they would just explode

Unless they were merely shot in the head, then they could be thrown back and fall n stuff like they do on HL2DM

so fun getting killed..just to watch yorself die

Maybe have it sort of like Darkwatch, where when you get a headshot, a chunk of the head is blown off. Then, you can pick up that piece and blast it into the body with the gravity gun. I definitely would have a lot of fun messing around with the physics

Erm, chis, they'd only gib if you shot them with a rocket launcher or otherwise exploded them, like every game with gibs...

no sense rating a game M if it has no gibs

dude that would rock

well if someone models some gibs for me, i'll do it, i guess

dont liek all HL mods have gibs?
oh yeah a nd ragdoll mentioned at the top is awesome especially with low grav

crap.

i got a compiler, i got the sdk

but i have absolutely no idea how to do this.

someone else give it a try?

its sad when people leave gibs out, they're the best part of the gaem

well i guess when you pay millions of bucks to havok for a kickass physics engine they want to show it off instead of the kind of gibs source can pull off

yeah, but hey, gibs can make the game in some circumstances, then again so can rag-doll

gibs are more funny than realistic I could really care less if they were there or not

whats fun is the gibs in the UT original, there is a mutator that makes them so they dont dissapear, playing Deathmatch the floor becomes red

Yeah thats how PVK and alot of other HL mods are... btu I think someone has to stay in the room where the pieces are so they wont dissappear
