New sniper rifle on the workbench
Smachine and Frankie V have teamed up to produce the French FR-F1 sniper rifle as a replacement for the aging Remington SR8.
Smachine is responsible for the new paint job where the modeling and shading needs were handled by Frankie V with the help of BladeKiller.
some more pictures:
Also under the heading of general house keeping all three game flags have been polished up with a bit more detail in design and texturing:
And a quick peek of Misterbean's .44 Magnum with some shader love along with H0i's new and improved k-bar as a replacment for the knife.
This new shader allows for the texture artists to control how textures react to light. This will make assets appear more realistic. In the picture below you can clearly see that the scratches on the weapon react to light a lot stronger than in other areas. This is just one of the many things that can be done with the shader.

New compiler modifications by Twentyseven provide radiosity bumpmapping and specular lighting goodness which stays crunchy, even in milk!

• Major changes to gameplay for Team Survivor. Roof access is more controlled to make the level as a whole less roof heavy, though there still is quite a bit of vertical play.
• Updates to CTF consist of route adjustments and changes to spawn room cover.
• Bomb mode has new bomb and spawn locations, and also has more controlled roof access. Fixed Bomb spawn bug.
• Spawn points and flag locations have been changed for Capture and Hold. There are now three flags in Capture and Hold.
• Targeted ambient lighting added to give shadowy areas simulated depth.
• Updated all func_walls to match the architecture of the rest of the level.
• Updated the skybox and added additional environmental areas.
• Changed the internal configuration of the enterable buildings for faster egress.
• Added more cover to gameplay areas.
• Compiled with FS_q3map_Radbump_4!
