When JC unequips a dragons tooth sword he turns it "off" like a lightsaber, the glowing blade part dissapears!
Shouldn't you just see the handle in your inventory? Instead you see the entire sword...

GASP.

technically it shouldn't require more space than a pistol in your inventory!

Never noticed that, but I've always fancied myself as a bit of a jedi with it. :starwars: But I'm probably more like obi wan kenoobi.

There is so much of this kind of thing in DX, which shows massive language and communication issues inside dev teams. DX was a battle between the shooter crew and the RPG screw and the stealth crew according to Harvey Smith. I wonder how it ended up with the name "...sword", it's more Thief or Assasin's creed than DX.

Yes. DX is based on Assassin's Creed, it all makes sense now !

Sure DX is based on a game, wich first came out 2007 heh ;-)

never noticed that fakt, that he turn the sword "off" and put it down, lol yes it should be only the handle xD

But when you go into detail, why doesnt the sniper get longer with silencer on it? why doesnt get every weapon longer with silencer?
Why you dont see the longer ore bigger magazins from each weapon, when you upgrade them?

it all doesnt make perfect sense, so who cares :?

I think it was because of the technical limitations, well, making a first-, third-person and pickup model for every possible combination of modifications (clean, silencer, laser, magizines, silencer+laser etc.). I don't think it's possible to somehow "attach" two meshes to each other. How did the TNM folks do it?

Probably had two different meshes for it? One with and one without

Had one mesh, had different multiskins, that multiskins part is masked out, when you get silencer, the mask is removed, a new texture is applied. And the sound changes, etc etc.
