Modular weapon system I've made for UDK. Next step will be pistols

Yep. Then just give them the necessary activities and you're good.

Because there isn't enough GUI compilers.

Still need to add the -game option and a config file to save studiomdl paths, so you don't have to insert the paths every time you run the program.

It can better, because there's way for auto-steam-path detecting so you don't need to define path, like my SDK Launcher, it doesn't need user to tell where steam is installed:

Look for the steam environment variable. %STEAM% or something can't remember and not on a PC at the moment.

That one time I actually made something very practical:


Made this back when I worked on Visage/Black Snow, seems someone else had similar ideas.

I use Cannonfodder's StudioCompiler for everything. I'm actually very surprised that it is not the norm.

Made this for City 17 Ep1 ages ago.



This is a real-time dynamic moon, lit accurately to location and fractional day. Excuse the rim.
This looked great behind the skydome. We were going to have location-accurate stars too. Sadly, I don't have any pictures of it working in-engine because my build stopped working with the SDK ages ago. It was there, though. And pretty.

Edit:

I DO have a shot from early testing when it was on a plane in the middle of a room



But none of it in the sky,

We never had any night maps...

YOU never had any night maps. We never got a chance to commit it because the SVN died lol.

Made it so you can change npc_combine_s' field of view with a console command, sv_combine_fov. They also start patrolling immediately on spawn.
