Great Drunk or Disoriented Effect!

[Baker]

In any engine:

Type v_idlescale 90

This could be used for a disorienting effect or recovery from a stun weapon. I've been looking for non-damage + non-death handicaps.

hehehee. this is nice. Thanks baker

used this function for my dead game Ranon back some centuries ago.
It was used in TFC's swing effect when getting hurt from one of the scout's grenades.
Its still in Half-Life, but not as a CVAR.

I mistook the thread title as an other spam thread at first.

Nice effect.

v_idlescale hacks have been around for a long time now. nothing new. come on its so dinosaur even TF has had abused it in 1996 lol.

Final Quake: Real and Kurok uses it at a low value to improve the 'idle immersion' effect ala Goldeneye64, which is understandable as Quake was meant to have an idle effect like this in the first place. the cvar is a cutting room floor leftover only used for intermission

[Nahuel]

great!
add some bloom effect and seem´s really drunk

[Mexicouger]

Works in PSP kurok as well

Heh, i got a few laughs out of this by setting it to 400...
But, for a realistic idle effect, like in most modern fps games, set it to 2.

Telejano uses v_idescale's code to "swing" the gun only when idle, it can be easy adapted to normal GLQuake over one simple line.

Reminds me of improved punchangles (speed etc. changable in QC easily)
I thought about adding something like punchangle's with multiple directions into my reload-animation block.

Remember the Revolver in Call of Duty 2? When reloading, the screen moves "nicely" with the animation.

But the normal v_idlescale isn't very realistic at all, you should modify it.

[DukeInstinct]

Sweet. This will work perfectly for the sway effect of UrbanWar's ADS mode. (With a much lower value of course)

I wasted hours trying to an effect like this with punchvectors.

I suspect some of these newer modders had not yet been born in 1996

Great argument Baker!
No i know that you are respecting me in some way.
btw view.cpp was so interesting to me, that i abused rollangles and idlescales to the maximum. CHECK IT OUT IN R-COOP!

I value the power of newblars. You will not always be a newblar. And some of you will rise to do us all proud

Newblars tend to grow from humble beginnings to become young Jedi masters. Or young Master Chiefs or young Pokemon or whatever you young little bastards like these days [as long as it isn't Justin Bieber] when you aren't falling into fountains while texting or aren't being run over by dump trucks in reverse with your headphones on.

idlescale would have been super in Quake 3.

Hmm? Interesting.
I should ask what you did when you were 15.
I might be new in Quake codng - in your opinion, that's because i don't talk much and was never addicted to >engine coding.
But i know already alot about the engine in general.
Also im no PSP quake engine developer, they get hated for some time now
GPL stuff.. don't worry, im always releasing my stuff under the GPL.
