Blow darts

colin012 · #1 01-09-2007, 05:59 AM

Sence sayian made a shading guide but not a outline guide I didn't have anything to practice on. So I made some blow darts! I liked em so I mad sfx to go with them. Tell me what you think on the darts, the gun if you can call it that, and the sfx. (I made the sfx with an empty blow dart gun made of bamboo)

Name: Blow Darts
Damage: 10
Speed: A bit faster than cross bow so when the sound starts when the dart enters the screen and ends when it leaves.
Efects: Orange Poisens (Takes health away at 1 a second) a orange glow like the green one when you get normal poisnd sound efect 1 on users screen and 2 on all others
Range: either a little longer than cross bow or a bit shorter
Classes: You can up the stats and make it buyable for 3000 or in scout. (Just seems scouty to me)

I found the sfx and I got sick of 1 color bullits so I shaded em for practice so hear ya go (If the bullits are gonna be used you don't need to gain em theyr alredy in the spot we need em just change the file)

Nice job of making the GFX look un-Zone-like.

Isn't this supposed to be like... the future? You are taking a leap into the past with that blow thingey.

1: Your probly right I went to dark at the end
2: People still use em and the trick is it's quite so it's almost impossable to hear their for still rendering it usefull and I gave it a futeristic orange poisen

3: Wth?

zell12 · #6 01-09-2007, 06:17 AM

Liked I said, blow pipe is so 5th century.

colin012 · #7 01-09-2007, 04:48 PM

Besides googi who actuly plays zone.... and if your looking at it that way... Lets get ride of the crossbow the srynge to combat knife and anything that shoots bullits.

Crono · #8 01-09-2007, 04:53 PM

what the hell is that...?

i hope my comment easily shows my opinion on the graphic

colin012 · #9 01-09-2007, 05:18 PM

Mainly something to practice shading on sence I don't have to do an outline. I got to sayians shading guide. It's a blow pipe lol. Yes I know it's not futureistic but zone has smgs and stuff like that so I thought I would give it a shot

Oh and googi I figured out why it doesn't look zone-like. It's not made of iron theyfor rendering usless to be metalic. If graal shop didn't die I would give you a picture on the player..... *hint**hint*

He is still learning, give him a break.

I like the idea and the different method of poisoning. The SFX is also nice too. I know it is hard to make a blowpipe GFX look detailed but since others are whining that it is too "Old" for Zone how about making it a metallic sort of shade with a couple of random lights on it.

Edit: Oh and for the poisoning you mentioned, perhaps it only saps about 5-10hp per dart? Because if it kept sapping the poor guy who was hit would keep dying.

Your absoultely right

.

But seriously, blowpipes were weapons used by Pygmies in Africa... Not in a futuristic war game. Combat knives, crossbows and, guns that shoot bullets probably will be used in the future. But I'm sorry, the Blowpipe, won't...

anubis_wing · #12 01-09-2007, 10:29 PM

I made my own wood piece, here.

colin012 · #13 01-10-2007, 12:32 AM

Your wood pice doesn't hav any shading and the up perspective shouldn't have a hole and you don't have darts with mettle poisn tips

anubis_wing · #14 01-10-2007, 12:35 AM

It does have shading, it's just not as noticable, have you looked at any of the Zone weapons, zoomed out it's hard to tell most places shading is. I put the hole on the up perspective because it looks better in my opinion, also I didn't want to put the Darts in because I was short of time.

anubis_wing · #15 01-10-2007, 01:27 AM

Ok, here is a better version.

The smiley face is just a smiley face, enjoy

colin012 · #16 01-10-2007, 01:58 AM

I still isn't shaded it's all dark and the feathers are nice but they still arn't shaded. here I will make a metalic futureistic one.

ceserthen · #17 01-10-2007, 02:00 AM

even I in my less than supior shading skills know that these are not right you need to shade them like a tube and not like a weirdly shaded ruler. Here's a better example of more realistic shading I whiped up for you all in 30 seconds.
*edit*-added second shading of a metalic tube

someonesomewhere · #18 01-10-2007, 02:21 AM

...not exactly futuristic

It's just a shading example to demonstrate for an uninterupted tube how you shade it.

colin012 · #20 01-10-2007, 03:45 AM

I made a futureistic version with all new orange plasma energy!!!! (Oh I took your advice on shading but don't be sarcastic I know yours was better it's just anbus)edit**added modified origanal

No your GFX looks nice, I believe hes saying, and I agree, that the whole idea isn't futuristic.

ceserthen · #22 01-10-2007, 04:21 AM

you're getting there act as if the tube has a light from above. you did a good job on the orange part.
*edit*-added attachment
This is a good example of an edited version of yours.

someonesomewhere · #23 01-10-2007, 04:25 AM

I meant the idea. And the gfx looks like a little pole.

I'm gonna need more even lighter colers

ceserthen · #25 01-10-2007, 05:03 AM

Metals tend to have different colors. Light colors usualy work on shinier metals that are smooth.

I thought I got all the new posts

They would be used in the future for a few reasons:

1:They arn't very heavy
2:They make almost noise thats where the saying "Silent but deadly" or "SBD" comes from.
3:They need very few suplys to prepare
4:Very easy to hlod idle for climbing
5:You never run out of ammo beacuse darts are easy to make
6:They can get past mettle detectors and are easy to hide

What about the crossbow?

Either way heres the betterly shaded futureistic version. (I'm gonna make the wodden one for tomarro for kingdomes) Also you read. I said I didn't expect this to get into zone when I made it. It was only for practice shading. Though you should keep the bullits the other ones are bland.

Draenin · #28 01-10-2007, 07:05 AM

My costume construction professor had a blowgun in the costume shop. None of us knew it until he decided to suddenly launch a dart at one of the cork bulletin boards one day.

Huwajux · #29 01-10-2007, 02:06 PM

I'm with Colin on this one. If giant claws made out of candy canes that shoot bullets, a pumpkin themed gun that shoots frickin' pumpkins, a ghost themed gun that shoots (Uh...) ghosts and bloody pipebombs made out of pumpkins fit into Zone, why can't a blowpipe?

I still admire your outline skills on the darts but maby go to the information section on the zone fourms and look at sayians shading guide

anubis_wing · #33 01-10-2007, 06:47 PM

It is shaded, just not Saiyan's way, I do my own shading.

Crow · #34 01-10-2007, 06:51 PM

W00t. Sorry for bmp, but its not that big and I was lazy, so why convert it to png?:]

anubis_wing · #35 01-10-2007, 06:59 PM

Here, I tried to make it a little better.

colin012 · #36 01-10-2007, 10:10 PM

Ok I made the wooden one a little better. So hear you go. Oh and anubis submit that one to un it's not exactly zone style sorry. I also changed the normal bullits a little.
