Alright, I made voxels for the explosive railgun and the revolver, so the previous download link should have them.

The railgun ammo crates don't give you the correct ammo btw. It's probably a result of this:

Code: Select all

ACTOR RailgunSlugBox : MagnumExplosive replaces RocketBox // inherits from MagnumExplosive instead of RailgunSlug

Huh, didn't notice that (probably because I used IDFA for testing, not even thinking about the possibility that I forgot something about ammo) - it's fixed.

Analysis on the Last Salvo.

It's a little odd in terms of design. I meant a plasmatic weapon, this seems more like a rifle that uses explosive bullets. I don't mind that, but the pickup sprite is not really accurate with the HUD sprite, unless there's a part of the pickup I'm not seeing on the HUD sprite.

Other than that, the Last Salvo feels awesome!

I've never really been much for the "energy beam" railgun - yeah, it's what I grew up with and all, but I've noticed that real-like railguns don't really function that way - the Halo 4 railgun is probably the best example of one I've seen in a first person shooter that gets it close to right. That said, I could argue that the thing on the left side of the gun isn't visible from the right-facing pickup sprite, but to be honest, I could've made a better, cooler looking pickup. I'll see what I can do about it before the day's over.

Maybe the projectile needs to move more quickly?

The thing about the HUD is that it has no scope, where would it be on the HUD?

Here's a concept, not much work was put into it as you can see.

Holy shit, that's pretty. Funny thing is, I revised the pickup:

I figured the scope would be out of frame, but now that I think about it, I like your version better. I suppose I could also omit the scope on the pickup, but I'm not entirely sure as yet.

You can keep the HUD sprite as is if you want, it looks bad ass already. I was just a little weirded out by the pickup. I like the bigger, bulkier look of the front now, and I honestly second the idea to just leave the scope out. I like big ol' rifles that are long ranged, but use no scope.

Right now I'm going with a scopeless pickup. In the mean time, the Last Salvo now functions slightly differently (the same effect...just a bit faster) and the Crimson Spectre is now widescreen friendly (it still cuts off, but past the widest point G/ZDoom can display).

Also, I've got something special in mind to replace the chainsaw - it's made out of demons' blood!

EDIT: Didn't see the pickup you posted. Now I've got to ponder this one...

Ooh, that chainsaw replacement sounds demonically juicy.

The OP did say it was handheld, so I tried to go for a more compact look.

Fair enough, though I do like stocks a lot:

At least this way the actual gun dwarfs the stock. I think I'm gonna roll with this one for now, it's probably the closest I've got to the actual HUD sprite anyhow.

EDIT: Fixed a couple of sounds not playing on pickup (Last Salvo and Crimson Spectre).

Next to each other, the Last Salvo looks bigger than the Crimson Specter. I would either scale the LS down or scale the CS up.

Fair enough - the CS has been scaled to 1, while the remaining weapons are scaled to 0.75.

On another note, I've replaced the Chainsaw. I think it'll explain itself well enough.

WOW, when you speak of the demon's blood I did not imagine that you meant THAT sword :shock:
Did you know what time is it? :wink:

Honestly, the chainsaw replacement switches a bit slow compared to the others. I don't really know how much damage it does, I just tested it on imps and zombies. It seems as though it should have more range. Also, the effect it plays on the walls does not play on monsters, is this intentional?

Also, it'd be cool if you could use it as a hotkey for a quick melee, or some kind of Demonsteele styled melee. :wub:
