Now i know what you all are going to say.....
This has been requested before 65896 bizillion times, you should search the fourms before you make a post......
Well....
the reason bows would be good... is well it would use the ranged weapon skill... NOW the diffrence about this post IS.... wait for it .......... wait for it ......... I have provided a 92 triangular poly bow.....
now the odd thing about the bow is when it is not bent it is a 92 triangular poly bow.. but when bent the count goes up to 100 even....
unbent count for it is 80 poly for the main body of the bow and 12 for the string.. when bent it goes to 80 for the main body and 20 for the string..... and to all the people that have seen my work in the fan art forum i figured out how to count the polys :P
it just needs to be converted to a crystal space object and well i don\'t know how to do that yet but i am sure one of the devs can do that easy.....
but with out farther adue i present the bow

Thank you Thank you

Cool :]

I believe you would have better luck contacting a member of the dev team with this, instead of posting it publicly here. As far as I know, items that are posted on the forums rarely, if ever, get used in-game :|
-
well i just thought i would let you all the people that populate the game know about the bow and hopefuly your respoce will give the model a bost with the devs....:P
-
I think making a bow model is by far the easiest part of putting bows and ranged attacks into the game.
A system has to be developed, one could say the magic system already uses ranged attacks, but I hope they work on something new. Something where you actually have to aim yourself among other things.
I agree though ... bring on the bows, longbows, crossbows, throwing spears, harpoons, ... !

So what is the \"Wish List\" for then??????????
-
Wish list is for wishes ... they have a kind of rule against using actual graphics material that has been submitted on the forum though.
-
General ideas. Several posts by the dev team (most commonly by Moogie) have pointed out that specific items, monsters, names of places, etc., will not be included in-game if they are made publicly available on the forums.
It makes sense.
-
ahhh, now I understand.

Highly theoretical suggestions that may or may not ever see the light of day... :P
Bows are already planned, obviously. I know ammo and projectile shooting code exists, and that some of the items (arrows, bolts, bows, and whatnot) exist, but I honestly don\'t know how far along the implementation is. I guess you\'ll just have to wait and see... :D
-
10 whole trias to the 1st person who can make a good bow with ther keyboard.
-
well all of this aside... bows are already being worked on and such as there is a bowmaking skill in the game...
-
Yeah, there\'s also a shield handling skill and shields... that doesn\'t mean shields work... :P
-
currently bows only work as melee wepons...
and DaveG thats some crazy location you got yourself going there :P

Bows can only work as melee weapons because there aren\'t any arrows! There\'s no fletching skill!

Yeah... what-da-ya-know, there\'s no limit to the length of your location... So, \"Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, North American Continent, Planet Earth, Solaris Star System, Milky Way Galaxy, Virgo Supercluster, Universe.\" was just what I settled with... I was considering adding \"my brain, in my head, on my body, on my couch...\" to the beginning, but it sounded like too much. :P
And, while we\'re on the subject of bows...
Here\'s my favorite CVS entry, thus far:
Originally from a CVS write message by Rhad on 2005-08-08 (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12591339)
\"Ammunation\" is the gun shop in Grand Theft Auto. \"Ammunition\" is what
you\"d fire from a weapon :)
-
I would love having bows in the game... I really hope they get them working soon... BTW, nice bow Grav...
Oh, and DaveG, i am going to use your idea for the location except I will expand upon it as much as I can...

Well... first of all, I do hope you don\'t live on Solaris... it gets hot on the Sun. You dropped the word \"system\" there. :P (likewise, we aren\'t in Virgo, we\'re in the Virgo supercluster) Secondly, sticking an exact location is generally a bad \'Net idea. Thirdly, try and be a little more unique... Fourthly, this is all waaaaay off topic. :D

Heh yeah... but as a last note, i was running out of room so i shortened them, and was going to change it again anyway...
