[Request] Can someone make this into a gun?

[osjclatchford]

this is all coming along rather nicely!
I've one request; I know its all been intended for another project but it would be nice to release it here as a single map wad download too... that way others could build additional maps/content projects specifically based off of these ideas...

[Nevander]

Yea I will once it's all done. For my project it's going to be the second secret map MAP32 and you can carry the guns with you from that map onwards. It would be cool to make an entire mapset, maybe 8-10 maps, in this style. I will sort and ZIP up the finished resources and the single map I make in a WAD as a separate thing.

Just for the halibut I'll post this here. I ripped/remade some of the wall textures from those screenshots out of pure boredom. The quality is not awesome but I'm sure you can do something with them.

[Sgt. Shivers]

Very nice stuff! Can I use some of those textures?

[Nevander]

I don't mean to gloat, but you guys are going to LOVE this map. Well, I hope you do.

Just did a proper play test with all three guns, on UV, and after expanding the map and picking a new MIDI for it. This is the best map I've made and the best one I think I ever will make. And don't worry, it won't be long before you get to play it too. Just need to do some more balancing because on Easy it's like ridiculously easy. You could complete it without ever taking any damage if you're good.

There is one other thing I'd like some help with. It should be pretty easy for someone to do. I sprited together some flashes and stuff for the other two guns and I'd appreciate if someone could put a glow onto the gun sprites during said firing sprites, like above with the railgun thing. Also you may be able to improve some parts of them, I recolored and doodled the top gun's flash from the BFG. Do what you can. I made my own pickup sprites for them too. Ravage's are great but I was toying with this design before he posted his and once I frankensprited them together, there was no going back.

Here's the full sprite sheet:

I tried.

[Nevander]

That looks great, thanks! Those top edges were a bit too much of a quick transition, those look much better. Gonna have quite the credit list for these guns in the final product.

Tried to give the laser stick the same treatment...

[Nevander]

My megawad has now been updated and contains the map and all three new guns. Check it out!

single map dl?

I'll have that ready a bit later today.

Nevander, could you send me the original screenshot from this? http://i.imgur.com/gUeYsWk.jpg Maybe I can rip/make a few more wall textures.

It's funny I was working on the map last year and thought I was almost done and then decided to Google Image Search for D!ZONE and then found another cover with that screenshot. Luckily I was in the perfect position to connect that side door in the two pillar room with the lights to the room in that shot. The cover I found was really low resolution and that screenshot is from one that I upscaled a little bit, enough to see what was in the room.

Here's the covers. The left one is the original I found on Google and the right is the one I made a bit bigger (still bad quality though):



Also, I found this video today. They show an even worse and even more fake looking silver gun and image at the start of the video. I probably won't do anything with it since it looks so unremarkable. No offense WizardWorks.

Found the H!ZONE trailer too.

ok, I dl'd depraved and tested the map, nice work on the map! would be even better with those specific textures, mind...
it all was fun but I felt that the laser/railgun thingy needed a lot of work on the animation, thus:

specifically the recoil and flash effect... just my two cents...

There is also this fake screenshot from Aftershock Toolbox to complete the arsenal:
