anyway, back on topic.

Can you make a cocking animation where the metal area slides back as if to eject a casing from the spent grenade?

That would be for someone else to do. I don't have the time to spend on making things that I won't use.

IIRC, Spent grenades don't have casings -- the whole thing's launched. What you'd be looking for is a rotating sort of rechamber animation for the ammo drum, but since the drum is largely offscreen it wouldn't do much good.

But admittedly, a "cocking" animation could work for rule-of-cool. *shrug*

Actually, any grenade launcher that uses 40mm grenades (E.G The M79) does have casings to deal with. That said, Eriances GL appears to be a rocket propelled grenade, rather than an oversized pistol bullet like the 40mm.

My only complaint (and an admittedly minor one) is that I'm used to the upward kick of the Quake grenade launcher. It serves to somewhat justify the loft of the grenade.

Not significant enough for a redraw, though. I'd rather see that work go into more weapons. ;)

Do they now? I know little about noon-rocket-propelled grenade launchers IRL, oddly -- the former always comes to mind.

Still, it's a drum, so it probably wouldn't eject the shell realistically. But realism is overrated sometimes. :P

It can be a drum magazine, just like a tommy gun, and have an ejection (port ? not sure that's the right word). while you're talking about the rule-of-cool, there has been a pump-action 40mm grenade launcher (EX-49 or something like that). just saying it here in case someone feels uninspired with all those shotgun sprites lying around.

Seeing as no decorate has been written for these new grenade sprites, I'm a bit confused with how they should be done. I'm especially unsure of what the top right frame is supposed to be

I'm pretty sure that the top-right frame is the base eriance made for the sprites.

I've already decorated the weapon the day after I finished editing the sprites, although I've not released the new update.

EDIT: Newest beta has been uploaded on the front page.

Probably because you're logged into dropbox and it's your file. When I try and get it, I get a 403 error.

Confirming, I'm getting an error page. That link is probably intended for you (the uploader) only.

Is the new beta worth checking out? I played the last one, and from the changelog from the first post, I don't see anything of major difference between this beta over the last, or is there?
