Description
Juniez was kind enough to let us use his KS-23 model. It will replace the stock HL2 shotgun and since the real weapon was produced in the Soviet Union, it will fit real nice in Nox Aeterna's frozen "post-soviet esque" land.
The name of the town which the mod is taking place sounds more Yugoslavian than Soviet. I thought the "country which name has been long forgotten" was supposed to be the former Yugoslavia.
But still, it's a good choice even for Combine troops.
No news since motherfricking July! How dare you!
I'll give you a recap of all the highlights!
Zay kept mapping.
I kept programming.
Now you know everything. Not exactly news-worthy.
Plus, we added a new item/prop interaction system like the one in Amnesia, implimented an all new save system that works similarly like Amnesia/Penumbra/Cry Of Fear/etc. recorded some new music and sound effects, written a lot of back stories for different characters and locations that will appear in Nox Aeterna, and of course, a lot of inevitable bug fixing. So don't worry, we'be been both working really hard and expect a real update anytime now.
I remember this from Ivan's Secrets.
You're correct, it was originally meant to be used in Ivan's Secrets, but that mod has now went to the Cryengine and Juniez let us to use it in Nox Aeterna.
ha nice, I remember this :)
Um its nice and all but one major problem here ... the KS-23 is NOT a shotgun its more of a 23mm rifle ... its fires slugs not pellets. :/
You would be better off adding this as a custom super weapon of sorts as given its caliber this thing would pose a major threat to combine troops and even to hunter synths as well.
Well to be fair, that's kinda the point of the shotgun in Nox Aeterna. It's pretty much the only powerful weapon in NA and I want the player to feel it.
I see so will it fire the default shot pattern or will it fire a single round like the real one does?
I mean I can understand if you guys stick with the default shot pattern as one can the assume its using custom ammunition possibly Jerry rigged by the rebels or produced by the Combine ... a kind of cheap improvised shrapnel or flechette round would make it plausible.
