Openworld/Turok+ patch is here

Nothing too fancy like you'd find in vanilla, but it's there. I have grenades scattered around that you can use as well now.

Keep up the good work smoke!

Realized I was accidentally spawning 2 scopes (implemented as particles) per frame instead of 1 (forgot to account for OnTick() getting called twice per tick for weapons).  Turns out doubling up on particles had been obscuring an issue where firing an arrow would eat one of the scope particles for a frame (the redundant particle was covering for the missing one).  This wasn't very noticeable with mostly opaque scope elements (only the filtered edges would flicker slightly), but once I started adding translucent bits it resulted in a really visible jump in opacity when firing.

So I decided to try using a model instead of a particle for the scope.  It took a while to get alpha blending to work, but after fiddling with material properties for a while I thought I finally had it working properly.

Then this happened: https://imgur.com/a/K0s0z

I hate everything.

Fuck my life, was looking forward to seeing it in action too.

I'm not planning to scrap it.  Like I said, the issue with the particle-based method is barely noticeable as long as I stick to mostly opaque elements, so I've been working around that limitation.

After messing with various ammo type and charge indicators, I've arrived at a charge bar that appears block by block when charging, and the appearance of "TEK" in the corner when tek arrows are equipped (no text otherwise).  I have one other idea to try for indicating when tek arrows are loaded, but I'm feeling pretty good about this version.  https://imgur.com/a/ilhhE

Next I needa come up with a way to indicate when the player's taking damage, since the normal screen flashes don't appear during the faux cutscene used to change the FOV.

Looks great. I like the distance counter too.

Still don't know why the scope particles don't spawn sometimes, but I have figured out when it happens, so I can actually work around it now.  That means translucent stuff is an option again.



I'll have to play with it some more to get a better feel for it.  I kinda got used to the old version.
edit: already rejiggered it (first version here)
