[Request]Finishing this Ice Wand

Post by Ghastly »

So, a while ago on R667, FistMarine pulled the Ice Wand out of I think the Weapon Resource Wad and submitted it. There was a lot of discussion and some attempt to improve it since there was a rush of Heretic content being worked on. Fuzzy Blaze ended up reworking the sconce (I think that's what it's called, anyway), and FistMarine ended up ragequitting the community, so it was dropped. The spritework that was done is still pretty good, so I'd still like to try to get it finished.

Image

I think the last things that need to be done are changing the pole (wood doesn't fit it anymore; should look more metallic), the emblem where the sconce meets the pole (it's right from the Elven Wand), and giving it a good flash. Anyone want to take a crack at it?

Also, I made this pickup sprite, using as base the NeuralStunner's Gold Wand pickup sprite

I'm really fond of that set except for the flash state -- it really ought to be a lot brighter in the center instead of stopping at the blue shade it does. Otherwise, though, it's rather nice.

I think I've managed to enhance the flash animationz a little bit. Sure it'll extend the duration to the double (6 frames instead of 3), but such is the price for flash smoothness. Plus, a pickup sprite for ya.

I saw that a while ago, but I was thinking of something smoother, and not copied and recolored from the elven wand. Also, that white glow doesn't really fit the weapon, and wouldn't look all that great in-game. It's like "let's light up the weapon itself and not anything else around the weapon."

(Yes, I know, being picky when I've asked for help is not exactly the best thing ever. I do appreciate the effort, though)

Ahh I get it! So you want a bigger muzzleflash? First I thought you wanted the jewel itself the wand to be flashing, but now I understand. As for the white glow, I'd say it really fits a frostbite-wand weapon, but alright :)

Could you add some more frames of animation to that flash? That was my main problem of the other one, otherwise it looks great.
