Yeah, that's Biohazard, I was playing Killtrocity 2 and those pics looked Spooky and Cool.

I use to hate needlers

But, after playing maps like Greenhouse & the Biohazard series, ScottyGee & HSM have shown me that the Needler can be fun.

Looks tight, but why is the projectile spawning above the 'muzzle'?

Because it always does, even before modding, in order to make it shoot where you are looking, and not below.

Well, you really do learn something new every day.

Stand next to someone and watch them shoot. You will definitely notice.

That's quite a bad glitch, I wonder why they never bothered fixing it.

It's not a glitch they did it on purpose like Tural said.

Because of what Tural just said.

It's like that in Halo 1 too.

Geo · Post by **Geo** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 1:33 pm

Well no, it is a glitch... or at least it's something wrong. I'm sure Bungie didn't say, "yeah, when you make that weapon, make sure the projectile spawns above the muzzle area"

Tural explained the reason it is the way it is, which means they made shortcuts, and left something wrong in the game.

It's not a glitch, it's something they just didn't do. They were most likely aware of it, but didn't take the extra time to go out of their way to change the third person projectile spawn location, and just kept it how it was in first person. It's barely noticeable in standard gameplay anyways, it's an insignificant thing to even be discussing.

It would be a major waste of time to rebuild every one of the maps to create different values for first person and third person spawn locations.

Point is, it's a neat picture.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 4:02 pm

Yeah, HSM and I essentially concluded that the needler was easily one of the most customisable and creative weapons to mod...You can do anything with it and still get away with it...

<3 needlers

As for the weapon spawning, you can change it and for the majority of the time, it would work... But when you are in close quarters and fighting the projectile will spawn lower as it doesnt have the distance like in a normal shot to correct its positioning... One may end up shooting someone in the neck or chest compared to the head if they were right in your face.

What did you guys use to animate gifs? I had a program that did that but it made the quailty really crap.

ImageReady mb ? IT comes with photoshop. I could make a tutorial if needed.

StalkingGrunt911 · Post by **StalkingGrunt911** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 7:36 pm

Yeah it's Image Ready and there is already a tutorial for it in the Tutorial or Graphics section, I think. It's sticked as well.

Dojorkan · Post by **Dojorkan** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 4:59 am

Thanks guys. I never use imageReady even though I have it. I didnt thinkit really did anything different then PhotoShop.

Theres something wrong with this picture...:
