Introduction
Welcome to another update this time in "2011 VISION." (patent pending) In this update we have a couple videos, some new tank renders, and some never before seen screens of nmo_chinatown. First up is a demonstration video of our inventory system voiced by Dman757. Next up is an animation video of the newly made 1911. Before last we have two renders of some armored vehicles (abrams & APC) along with a watertower. Finally we have some screenshots from nmo_chinatown being made by Sotapoika.
Feature Video: Inventory
A commentary explaining the workings of the games inventory system. Voice work by Dman757, I'd be lying if I didn't say it was inspired the guys over at Wolfire Games.
Animation Demo 1911
Animations brought to you by THECOUNTER.
New Renders
Well LSR has been busy working on some new renders. Two tanks and a watertower to boot.
nmo_chinatown
A new map in the works by SotaPoika. It takes place as the name suggests in a section of Chinatown in New York. The map is still a work in progress but the section shown below is pretty well along enough to show.
Animators?
Finally I would just like to say that we are looking for some more animators to join the team. If you are interested post an application on our forums or send your application to nmrihmod@gmail.com. Not an animator? Well submit an application anyway help is always welcome!
sooooo cool, I love this mod. Also good to hear, that it is in closed beta, so it shouldn't take forever from this point on... :)
I've been watching this mod since the beginning... I cannot believe it's been this long. Haha
We're celebrating our two year anniversary this month!
Do you guys have some surprise for us to celebrate it ? :D
We're working on some stuff :)
you do? ;D I hope so! :D
I wish I could drive that tank.
I'm kind of baffled by the drop ammo system. Seems like alot of unnecessary work for the player. Why not just have a keybind that drops a clip of ammo from your currently selected weapon each time you tap it?
I think the ammo system is fantastic, you wouldn't want it to drop the type you have selected because what if an ally needs some different type of ammo you have? I think from looking at it for the first time it might seem a bit complicated but in time it will probably just become second nature to drop certain ammo. I think it adds a lot more depth to the game great job guys!
then select the gun you want to give him ammo for and drop ammo from that one . I mean, you have to select the weapon anyway to "find out" what type of ammo it uses right?
"Hey I need some 9mm you got some? Sure I don't need it anyway."
You won't necessarily have a gun in which you have ammo for. (We might make it easier to know which ammo goes for which gun. As I said its still WIP)
I see. Didn't realize you could pick up ammo for guns you weren't carrying... Won't this open the door for hoarders / jerks who just grab everything they can and don't share?
Play Zombie Panic Source. The only thing I don't like is when I know when fixed ammo spots are, such as rifle ammo is, and I go to run over and grab it, and it's all gone. It's not because someone's griefing though, they're sincerely team players and they packmueled the ammo to some barricaded spot and dropped it for their teammates. Problem is, I don't sit in barricades, I fight it out. I have the only rifle, and I'm barricaded out because I didn't want to be in it. That's the only bad thing that really happens. If it's like ZPS you move slower with more that you carry, so if they are hoarding ammo they're moving as slow as a snail. I remember a couple of times they realized no one had rifles in their barricade so I traded my pistol ammo for boxes of rifle ammo and we were both happy. I love moments like that to ZPS, adds surrealism
Maybe there will be a votedrop mechanic... plus I'd imagine that hoarding ammo would slow you down.
It does slow you down.
Looks awesome! Tanks in a zombie game, a dream come true.
Not drivable, static props.
In games like Perfect Dark and more recently Assassins Creed 2, when you highlight the weapon you want, its very noticeable. I think you guys should have something like those 2 games have, where from the middle of your screen, something pans to the option you have highlighted, that way it's a bit easier to identify "ok I'm highlighting THIS here". Rather than simply dimming the options not on.
Perfect had a box that would be delayed by a second and move where you were and AC2 had a wide, transparent white "beam" from the middle to what you were selecting. I think you guys should take this approach, with perhaps a reddish, transparent, but short "beam".
Otherwise the vids and map screens look great.
Why would we need to do that here? You literally click your mouse on what you want.
hehe nice tanks :)
Driveable vehicles finally?
No
This mod has been going on since forever and finally is it coming together. Well done guys. I really hope for a 2011 release. Mainly since the world ends next year.
Hey, maybe you can play NMRiH for REAL 2012. Now that'd be fun! Right guys?..Right?
NMRiH will be coming out this year, don't worry!
thats looks really good this inventory is perfect :)
I wish you guys be best future this game :)
want nooooooooowwww
Hey guys looking at your inventory system, will you support gamepads like the 360 one?
We discussed this early on, as even some of my friends have requested 360 gamepad support (their personal preference) and although the Source engine does support it, NMRiH has too many buttons really to work on a gamepad. There were some other software limitations to do with the SDK and what it would/wouldn't let you do with the controller or something like that... I don't quite remember though.
Hmm, you are actually getting my attention again..
******* delicious.
Great work as usual guys, and keep it coming. :)
Have you guys tried using number keys as another alternative to mouse clicking in the inventory system?
For me, using number keys to access certain items in an inventory is much faster once I get used to it.
That isn't to say mouse clicking should be removed.
Overall, I like the ideas and the media releases. Keep it up!
Great work. I can't wait to play this. :D
Great work I can't wait to play this WHEN IM ******* 60
So you're 59?
