hello, one question
double0killa:
HERE IS MY ORIGINAL POST ABOUT THE CHARACTER HEIGHTS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just wanted to say i enjoy your game. It is a great replica of the original, which i still play. The whole blood/hit detection thing is a tad bit overrated. Hit detection was even a problem in the original. It seems like most of the guys complaining about hit detection play LTK. (Me personally, I never play that game mode. It really doesn't showcase any true skills. Just because you shoot someone 1st doesn't mean your better). Anyway, my only question is about character height. In the original game taller (and for that matter ) shorter players guns matched their height. Meaning Jaws gun was always higher up by default than anyone elses. In this version, i have noticed when i play with Jaws, his gun height matches everyone elses, so does oddjobs. I remember oddjob vs Jaws matches where Jaws gun was well above Oddjobs head and Oddjobs gun was at Jaws knees. You literally had to either aim the gun up or down depending on who you controlled.
Its not a huge issue, I was just wondering if that would be a possible change.
HERE IS WHAT A DEV SAID IN RESPONSE....

Characters will, to the limits of feasibility, be the heights of their respective actors. Jaws will likely grow a little to match Richard Keil (7-2ish). Harold Suzuka was about 6-2 so he will not likely change. Nick Nack (Herve Villichaize, 3-11) will be our game's short man.
It seems to me that according to this DEV, the character heights will be tweaked.
eamonn:
Nick Nack's going to be in it? Lovely.
VC:
Right Now: Jaws is in because he's cool. He is not the right size and he can't be because to change character heights significantly requires creating new animations (I am told) because apparently Valve can't figure out how multiplying numbers works.
In The Future: Character heights will be made appropriate and everyone gets new animations. All we need are people who can model and animate and get all this work done. Because we have what, one people doing it part-time right now?
There are hitbox differences between the characters, though the only one that is even close to notable is Mishkin, whose Stomach box is a bit long, making him slightly more vulnerable to taking a shotgun blast in the ass.
double0killa:
ok so what your sayin is its on the agenda, just not top priority right now.
Carnage:
it should be though, I think we should have heights based on all original actors. it would be a nice feel. it would make the mod stand out more as well.
