Unused weapons/objects present in the demo

Post by Safety0ff »

I noticed that in the warzone demo, one of the slides contained a missile ( and another type of sensor tower):

I investigated a little further, and it looks like the text files in the demo have the entries for it.
I looked at our current files, and I found the .PIE but I could not find its texture, nor did I see the entries for it in the text files.
So I simplipie'd the pie and saved the texture as .png, and here it is:

Does anyone have information about unused weapons in the game?

I remember seeing PIEs that looked like Ripple rocket launhers but with only four tubes - maybe it's the intended PIE for this weapon?

However, I have played a demo version of warzone for PS1, and it had nothing like that.

The sensor turret looks so similar to the CB turret that I think it's the early version of it (probably they changed it afterwards for some reason :hmm: )

Anyway - there are so many features that were removed before the original release that it isn't surprising to find that they had plans for larger-payload long-range weapons: probably that was planned but they couldn't finish it decently and cut it off (just like, let's say, one third of the game) :(

If we have event-triggered animations we can have this kind of missile without it looking like you're being cheated :P
I mean, those probably wouldn't use tube launchers. Therefore the missile launching animation would be required there :hmm:

Currently, rockets and missiles have the same projectile graphics. Would be nice to have different graphics for missiles.
