Thanks :). Yeah its quite detailed, i made the texture from scratch, each button on the keyboard has the correct LETTER, NUMBER or SYMBOL. Which took AGES! :)

Hope it pays off anyway :)

Is this gonna be like an adventure game where you collect all the weapons or you can just use what you find over levels?

Wouldn't a keyboard break if you hit something hard enough to kill it?

Reply Good karma Bad karma+2 votes

DecDoyle - - 8,532 comments

It has a metal base plate.

And to be honest, virtually anything can be broken in combat, but i'm not adding it.

Katana break, brooms and guitars break, but i don't think ill make them break.

The texture doesn't seem like it really would have taken long :\, because it's incredo-basic., but the weapon is still teh lulz.

Yours does however look better then the one in ZPS (quality wise) so I'd start comparing their cheap run-off to your masterpiece :D

DecDoyle - - 8,532 comments

You are saying i lied about the time taken? And as if the thing taking time would get me looking better?

It was like making any other texture, but i had to write the letter of every key on a keyboard one the right place, aswell as all the symbols on the keyboard such as "Home" and the Volume buttons.

So yeah it took a while.

Nothing to do with quality based on time taken. I'm JUST saying it doesn't look like it would have taken very long to texture, nothing comparing to you or ANYONE. I'm generalizing. Quit taking all my posts as personal attacks.

I'm not, its just you were saying it wouldn't take long. But it did, and i don't see why you needed to explain that.

Good for you :D

Wondering, does it have a wire hanging off from it?

If you've played L4D (Which you probably have), you'll notice the molotov had a cloth hanging from the top that had it's own physics that made it wave around as you moved! (Actual physics not pretend physics lol)

It would be cool to see the wire with a frayed end swinging back and forth as you turn and swing the weapon :D

Reply Good karma Bad karma0 votes
DecDoyle Author
DecDoyle - - 8,532 comments

That is done by the cloth physics in the new L4D engine. This doesn't have a wire attached to it because i cant get it to sway so it would look odd to have a solid wire.

Would it be worth moving some L4D engine features in when the SDK is out?

Or maybe in a later release then the first? :D

Reply Good karma Bad karma+1 vote
DecDoyle Author
DecDoyle - - 8,532 comments

What the hell? Move a zombie mod to L4D? Either way that's stupid because you don't realise what the left 4 dead SDK actually is.

They are NOT releasing the source code, they are just allowing texture, maps and maybe models to be created. Why allot of people think the SDK will be like the one for half life is beyond me. They didn't release the source for CS:S, DOD:S, TF2 or Portal, so they are not going to do it for this.

I meant different features but yeah, I just read up on it and it turns out the SDK won't allow ****. I at least expected the SDK to be used for other source tasks but apparently it just allows weak "Add-ons"

Oh well.

Yupp! I've seen tonnes of people think the same, but that's not bad. People are making mods in the preparation for this SDK, but all they can make is a map pack.

Well i know what most people are going to comment on.

So save your stupid comments:

I DID NOT STEAL OR TAKE THE IDEA FROM ZOMBIE PANIC SOURCE.

I am mealy making things to use as weapons, 70+ in fact, so its bound to happen that i will come across another mod with this kind of weapon.

Ok now that's over.

This is my keyboard, its a Razor Tarantula and its a beast, i thought i would make it to show off my keyboard, then i thought it would slap it nicely into mortewood.

So please enjoy :)
