--- Quote from: Goldenzen on February 17, 2010, 03:58:04 pm ---@mangley; actually most of the songs aren`t rebuild 1:1 - that would be boring. We want to take the great base of Norgate`s music and take it to a new dimension or a new level if you will.
So we take the original songs as a base but we feel free to add things or let things out in order to make a good overall appearance fitting together with each composer`s style.
This part you`ve mentioned is a very quiet part. In my specific Aztec version I replaced this section by a much more melodic and bassy part in order to keep the flow going.
I hope you can get used to that though because we really don`t wanna make 1:1 music conversions from the GE64 but make them more modern and interesting + add new dimension.

Yeah I understand that and I love what you've done with the track, I just curious about your reasons for changing that part. Thanks :)
Goldenzen:
You`re welcome, questions are always welcome :)
Cheers
killermonkey:
The rocket not leaving from the barrel is a Source Engine limitation. Either the rocket leaves from the barrel in first person view or it leaves from the barrel in third person view. We opted for the first person for obvious reasons. There is no way around this limitation without significant changes to the way projectiles are manifested.
If you take a close look at the TF2 soldier you will see that the rocket doesn't leave from his barrel either in thirdperson view.
Mangley:
Yeah I understand that the projectile can't be part of the model. However I was thinking more along the lines of a first-person weapon animation where that part of the rocket launcher simply disappears when you fire and reappears when you reload, giving the impression that it was the projectile.
A similar thing could be done with the shotgun shells on the shotguns with regards to how much reserve ammunition you have.
Anyway, that was just my two cents.
