Here’s a quick snap­shot of the lat­est update to the mod­u­lar weapon sys­tem — every­thing is now mod­u­lar, includ­ing the side ‘rail cov­ers’ for the M4 (which were pre­vi­ously a part of the ‘base’ model). Some things to note:

Flash­light: the light is actu­ally a part of the stand-alone flash­light opr file, and when com­bined into the main weapon, ‘just works’

Also shows off the new m320 Grenade launcher as well — have the m203 and a cou­ple of sights to do still and then base set of attach­ments is com­plete. Also been exper­i­ment­ing with adding a ‘Mas­terkey / m26’ type of shot­gun attach­ment to the inven­tory as well — we’ll see ;}

So the crunch is on — now that I have the weapon browser nearly func­tional, next on my list is to get a ‘very’ basic ver­sion of the mul­ti­player oper­a­tional so I can get a pub­lic release out the door.

My list of goals for the MP Test (which is my super-secret inter­nal name for it):

Ok, let’s go through what we have so far. I’ll warn you now that this gets into some pretty bor­ing low-level orga­ni­za­tional stuff, but might be use­ful for GameCore users (maybe…possibly…)

Now that I have the basics of the Con­tent Browser com­pleted, there are 2 direc­tions that I can poten­tially go:

1) con­tinue to sim­ply flesh out the ‘end-user’ browser, namely adding the actual object load­ing & inter­face for view­ing the 3d objects them­selves, or
2) flesh out the con­tent browser inter­face so that it becomes an actual ‘weapon admin’ inter­face that i can then use to input the var­i­ous pieces of infor­ma­tion required for each weapon.

Basi­cally the con­tent browser, from the pure data sense of things, is done. how­ever, there remains a lot of pure data entry for me to be able to actu­ally get all of the weapon con­fig files setup and ready for use. #2 would aid me in this process, in that it becomes not only a ‘viewer’ for the data, but also a use­able admin inter­face that I can then use for future weapons and to get me up to speed with the var­i­ous weapons that I still need to cre­ate con­fig files for.
