In Response To: Oh right about the shells... (Tek)

: Its always great to see others' way of doing things. Here's what my shells
: look like ATM, untextured (yet):

: I noticed how most plastic shells have holes on top, decided to take
: advantage of that and slap a marathon logo in'ere =) IMHO the logo looks
: perfect in that spot but, as you might've noticed, in order for you to see
: that logo one shell has to be rotated. Should I leave it rotated or make
: both shells be just as they are in the original? Personally I see no crime
: in rotating one shell, looks nice. Oh and... any ideas on how to label the
: shells? I'll slap info on one shell and a hippo on the other.

I like the logo. Nice touch, and perfectly believable for "milspec" shells (the logo can be frangible plastic, making the shells impossible to reload, but military don't reload fired brass). I was just going to do a standard crimp in there, purely in texturing...

Now, since the shotguns are Durandal's private enterprise, I'd suggest not putting UESC markings on them. Something like "10 Gauge Magnum" and "000 Buck" would do nicely, as that would deal well with the zonkingly huge muzzles (they look a bit big for the standard 12 gauge - with shotguns, bigger numbers == smaller shells) and the fact that the pellets are few in number but very hurty. Were it birdshot, you'd have something like 300 pellets, base damage per pellet of very tiny numbers, and the engine would run out of sprites every time you fired.

With regards to rotating the shell... I'm not sure. I've been thinking that the shells should come clipped in pairs, so the two get dropped into the breech as one unit, but that's based on my ideas of how the infamous mechanism works. The original sprite doesn't make it clear...
