[WISHLIST] Stealth

[-FN-]

I've been playing Halo 2 for the past week or so online in my waning NC interest.

I wish more than anything that Neocron's Stealth worked like this:

- Pull out Stealth Tool
- Fire/Activate it
- In about 3-5 Seconds you become invisible like this:

From Predator:

For the life of me I can't find a screenshot of a player with Active Camo on in Halo so I'll try to get one tonight to post.

- But once activated it would start at the head and in somewhat of a circle go down the body making the player mostly invisible.

Why can't stealth be like that :( Or Camo PA for that fact *sigh*

Can this game engine even do something like this?

Alot like planetsides stealth aswell.

While a stealthed player is running in neocron it makes them a little more visible, while walking you gotta be paying ALOT of attention to pick them out even while upclose, while the stealther is standing still he is prettymuch completely invisible apart from a slight 'interferance' type of blurring around the outlines of his body

YES!

It can - it's all about getting a transparancy modifer in the modelling stage - and playing with it there - it may hit performance a bit more than an average model, but it's do-able.

Damn that would be nice mutch better then the white shadow ;)

Just used an opacity modifier on the textures, and raytraced for highlight edges, a lot more could be done to it, but hey - I just wanted to show how easy it is...

Is that a SWG Tusken with a cape or something? lol

Why does it have to be like that? Stealth's blue cloud is pretty original, and well documented.

Actually, the stealth is kinda flawed... It works by injecting something into your bloodstream to change the color of your blood... well, how does that explain the disappearance of your clothes when you stealth, for instance? o_O

Now, this active stealth-armor would be much easier to explain, since it actually works irl too :)

Clothes use another kind of technology which also exists in those cloth terminals as well. Guns have a problem, but this is why you store them away.

The models just a rig thatcomes with max. It's not like I was gonna knock up a fully detyailed model to explain summat :P

a better effect would be good... but 3-5 seconds wait for stealth would stop stealth whores... i would love it

yeah, thats by far the best thing lol....a warm up, instead of a cool down...

im fine with stealth (my droner uses stealth 3...) but people spamming it are abusing it IMO.

[MkVenner]

yeah, KK need to decide whether stealth is a covert device for sneaking and general spie shit, or a godmode switch
