What's Wrong With The Shotty...

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (kavasa @ Jun 3 2004, 05:12 PM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> Ok, attached is a screenshot, with the relevant sprites emphasized. The blue thing is my crosshair overdrawn with blue lines so it's easier to see (the one I actually use is hard to see in the screenshot) and the green blood sprites overdrawn in bright green. Going back htrough the combat demos, it looks like most of the near-kills would place most of that pentagon of pellets above the skulk, so that's consistent. And the pattern was indeed 100% consistent over time. I compared five screens taken from shots made without moving, and all the blood spatters matched up.

So, there you have it.  </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> 
Yep. Whenever you fire against an alien structure, you'll notice the same blood pattern every round. The bullet hole decals shown on walls don't represent the spread, but rather the only time you can see it is if you do something like in the screenshot below.

But... how do we know that's what the server gets?

For all we know, the server could think it's just a shiza load of LMG bullets!

That being the case, they should move the spread a bit lower and to the left, so it's actually where you're pointing it.

Sarisel · June 2004

Until they do, custom crosshairs for the win.

except don't the bullets spread the farther you are away?

Seriously? They should fix that. It shouldn't spread out too much, but there is an angle to these things. I'd think the pattern would be at least a little bigger by the time it got to the end of your average Long Hallway.™

I love spreading weapons.
If you want railguns play another game.
And remove the pistol!

what people are saying it needs more defined pattern/spread it seems

i don't think a high powered beam would feel right coming from that shotgun <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

No.

<_<

Yes.

ViolenceJack · June 2004

what it should be is random like a shotgun. Some people will have or are gonner have crosshairs that basicly have the spread on which will bring an unfair advantage to them (aka cheating).

Shockeh · June 2004

To be honest, if you're aiming individual pellets, you have ISSUES. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Alright, mu is being the british person he is, so can anyone make that pellet crosshair thing and upload it somewhere? :>

I just like to know where my bullets are going <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

BobTheJanitor · June 2004

Just aim a little down and to the left of your actual target for best bullet impact.

KaMiKaZe1 · June 2004

Yeah, I think I'm going to slightly offset my shotty crosshair to more accurately show where my shots are going to hit.

comrade · June 2004

Place in sprites folder.

Sasuke · June 2004

haha <3 moo

i'll get around to using those x-hairs... when my computer gets fixed :xxx

mewmin is total pants.

crono1 · June 2004

i use his v1 xhairs, they totally own <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

omg moomin you hear that your a h4xr <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />

But seriously, there's nothing wrong with useing a custom crosshair. It's cheating to design your own crosshair? Where do you people come up with this stuff?
