I was curious on what you guys would think of a DXMP reboot on the source engine.
I started playing around with it in a copyright infringing way but realized I had no idea how to do animations. And later came to the conclusion that inspired by was better than ripping it right off.
Gives an excuse to get rid of the Clunky feel DXMP had and give it a more valve feel.
Here's what I have so far.
Give me some feedback on this and suggestions. The remote terminal aug will really make things exciting.
