[Request] Magical or demonic projectile sprites for Doom

Post by hfc2x »

Hi, I came here because I haven't found what I'm looking for yet. In my Doom Bible project there is the Unmaker weapon, and it's already implemented. However, the projectile sprites are missing.
The weapon has 4 firing modes (modes 1 and 2 are the same, although 2 is faster than 1), and I only put a placeholder projectile that looks awful. The main problem is that the only "magical" projectiles I've found on the net are too Raven-looking (ie. were intended for Heretic or HeXen). This is the placeholder I'm using:
Spoiler:
The Unmaker is a powerful demonic weapon that inflicts a lot of damage to demonic creatures, half damage to techno-demons and almost no damage to possesed humans.
Here is what I'm needing:
- Magical or demonic projectile for fire modes 1 and 2. Only 1 projectile fired straight forward. Explosive.
- Projectiles for fire mode 3. Spread of 3 demonic projectiles, 1 fired forward and 2 at each side to 15 and -15 degrees. All of them explosive.
- Badass looking projectile for mode 4 and sprites for its flash (like the BFG9000 detonation flash effect). Non-explosive, just damaging.

Thanks in advance.

The unmaker from the doom bible was a LASER weapon!
"A new weapon known as the Laser, or "Unmaker", has been added, using the same cell ammunition as the plasma rifle and BFG. It was first mentioned in the Doom Bible and was planned to be featured in the computer Doom games but never appeared. Its appearance in Doom 64 is its only official appearance"

Well mayhaps i was too high and ya didnt pick up on my sarcasms, but For a demonic projectile cut the head off of a deamon, make it translucent and there ya go, might need some editing out the body / neck part. As for magical, heretic / Hexen is always a good start. Goto realm667 and see what monsters use their own head for a projectile and use that for a base.

2 minutes of time, and heres a beam.

all ya need is paint.net a bag of weed and dedication to putting out the best free game possible, well mayhaps not that far but something new is always a fresh face over recycled images.

There are various cool magical skulls and explosions in Exhumed, that could work well with the UnMaker if recoloured red. Only problem is they don't really fit Doom's art style.

Personally I would shrink a lost soul, remove its horns and recolour red.

Since according to DooM bible it is made from demon bones and should hurt pure demons a lot and other kinds of demon/human and demon/technology hybrids a little, I got an idea that it would shoot some kind of demon flesh eating worm or pleague infested projectile that would dissolve demons on touch. Something ugly, bloody and extremely fun to use.

Well, thanks, but not what I'm looking for. I also checked realm 667, but no projectile seems to fit the Unmaker also. Oh, and btw, I don't smoke nor do drugs, so no thanks.

I liked some of the projectiles, but you are right, they kinda not fit Doom. Maybe editing Doom projectiles is the way to start.

I'd like to see that :)
