[WIP] UAC:Specops

[Yholl]

So just an update, i made the grenade, but i still need to do the rotations... playable version of grenades up in 2 weeks tops. yay

Mmm, that looks a lot better than the previous version. I look forward to seeing them in action.

[Crudux Cruo]

So, it's been awhile...
Firstly, this is absolutely not dead. I will resume work shortly, though as you see my itinerary, i have quite a work load to float this project, + 35 hr work week to live.
Secondly, I changed my name, so i'm announcing in all my project threads that i went from Doomer1 to Crudux Cruo
Thirdly, I am working on other projects, mostly making weapons for other mod ideas or as stand alone releases, so this may take up even more time than I thought.

For now, i absolutely have no clue when the classic weapons pack will be released (phase1), but it would be fair to say later rather than sooner. anyway, keep your eyes peeled peeps, there is more coming.

I assume you'd like me to change my DoomRL credits to list you as Crudux Cruo instead, then?

[Crudux Cruo]

Yes please, thank you

[Crudux Cruo]

Grenade projectiles, check. grenade sprites, check. bubble gum? all out.

the new grenade weapon will be out soon ish! got some ideas for some explosions, then gotta find some sounds.

[Slax]

Have a special ops UAC rifle.
*whistle*

[Crudux Cruo]

Ooo, pretty. I actually have a request for you, if you'd be so kind...

Code: Select all

5.)HEAT missile launcher HML

rockets have not changed much over the past 100 years since they were introduced, and still serve the same purpose; to deliver a chemical explosion that can eliminate its target. what has changed is the
amount of sophistication. these HEAT rounds were designed to be fired at tanks, usually in the form of a sabot round. however, these rockets carry enough power to do the same. the launcher can hold 5 of these rounds before new missiles must be loaded. the gun resembles a large calibur semi automatic rifle.

primary fires a missile with pinpoint precision, although there is a downward trajectory. secondary reloads

the missiles themselves are quite damaging, taking down a baron of hell in one shot. however the splash damage is lacking; use this to kill enemies one at a time that you cant normally kill in one shot.

IF you could sketch a rifle with these features (free range of course, no mandates), it would help me immensely. i have great ideas in my head, but unfortunately i am a terrible sketch artist. its ironic actually, since i can create 3d objects and sprites based on what i see, but when it comes to finer details I am lackluster. You, however, seem quite brilliant... so if you would like a little project, please do this for me.

Are you enough of a badass to fire this thing standing up? Probably, yeah.
Super Cobra seems to be an up and coming arms manufacturer. Here we have one of their latest specimens, an SC MHC prototype.

Pick apart a few warehouses worth of obsolete weaponry, mix in a few high tech gadgets and what do you get? Endless possibilities!

Pretty odd intro pamphlet for this one. Hmm, let's see...

Ugly probably doesn't even begin to describe this monstrosity. The original design, assembled from various old heavy machine guns and surplus space travel mechanisms, proudly accepts a rather unique designation. [M]agnetic [H]ybrid annon. Magazine fed, magnet loading goodness. Hybrid ammunition for a hybrid gun, the weapon accepts encased multiple stage rockets. The rocket is propelled by gunpowder (or equivalent) when fired and activates as soon as the disintegrating protective wad burns up. Bang! Swoosh! BOOM! In the words of our esteemed Super Cobra techs, "what could possibly go wrong?!" The weapon works like this: Pulling back the charging handle locks the bolt open and sets the magnet system to enable feeding. Inserting a loaded magazine will immediately release the bolt and lock a shell into firing position... with MAGNETS! The weapon is now ready to rock. Release grip safety and squeeze the trigger to fire. Keen use of controlled magnet polarity will cycle rounds with no help from the fired round, meaning that you get max potential from your ammunition. The side folding rear iron sight can be used as primary or secondary means of acquiring your target. Fix your front iron sight accordingly. The scope mount accepts many different setups. Adapters sold separately. Remove cover before installation. WARNING! Sustained fire requires that you fill the liquid coolant container with a suitable liquid. The barrel gets really, really hot otherwise. Really. Enjoy your complementary Super Cobra Action Grip setup! Thank you for supporting Super Cobra.

I just had to post this awesome sketch slax did for me, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Grenade is coming! all i have to do now that i have the graphics and sound is to code it... which i really hate. a prototype of the grenade will be out in the near future.

[Crudux Cruo]

Ok, elephant in the room, I haven't made as much progress as i had hoped, I have truthfully not even tried to code the grenade since i'm baffled as to how to make a good solid working code for it, can anyone shoot me some examples of grenades to base my code on?

[Reisal]

Is it impact (IE M203) or bouncy like the Quake grenade launcher?

[Crudux Cruo]

It will be bouncy like a quake grenade. later on, ill have a mode that will only detonate on time, not on contact.

[TheRailgunner]

It will be bouncy like a quake grenade. later on, ill have a mode that will only detonate on time, not on contact.

So, a bouncy grenade, eh?

	}
}

This is NecroDoom's grenade; while it isn't very fast and seems heavy in-game, both of those are variables that can be changed to your liking.

Code: Select all

A_FireCustomMissile("NecroGrenadeR", 1,0, 10, -2, 2, 10)

This is the firing state for ND's grenade launcher - mess with this until the grenade goes where you want it, at the speed you want it to. Both code examples are Xaser's, so if you use the grenade wholesale, please be sure to give credit to him (unless he sees no reason for credit to be given; it IS just a bit of code, after all).

[Crudux Cruo]

Thanks, I'll play around with it and post the results.

[Crudux Cruo]

Well, as of now i have a basically working grenade, but how do scale explosion sprites? i changed the scale of the whole projectile, but i want to keep the explosion pretty big.
