The name for the pack is tentative. I started my Assault Robot about two days after I got CC Full, and I made a gun today, but I really really intended it to be a upped SMG... Instead it turned into a Auto-Cannon... And when I first saw Crobo (4 Days ago dammit!), I instantly knew I wasn't original...



Details:
Assault Robot
Helmet/Radar/Leg plates can be shot off.
Over 4 mins of Jetpack fuel for pure aerial combat.
Heavy.
Megametal body.

DS09 MAC (Miniaturized Auto-Cannon)
High firing rate.
Piercing (I can dig with this thing...).
High Mass Bullets.
Quick Reload times.

Still need to do:
Continue tweaking those two.
Make gibs for everything.
Kill sprites from the templates (gun).
Figure out walkpaths - (everything).
Make more weapons (I have many ideas) and a command - type.

Comments?

1/9/08: Made a new gun [DSXX FORCE]


I wanted to make a laser beam though... Ended up building the weapon along the lines of the Karasawa. Still wondering how to do the missile though.

If this is a full mod, then why is it in mod making?

Nope, I won't say its complete, need to work on the robot more (crawling and climbing), and tweak the gun a little, I will release it once (more things are made - Darklones for example, full weapons layouts a vehicle, and two types of actors) everything its ready to go.

Still calls for sprites from HumanTemplate.rte, but it does look nice.

EDIT: Commenting out the Gibs.ini in the Index fixes the mod. Also the gun rapes terrain. RAPES it.

Eyeaaa... I killed my own brain with it. But it IS a mini auto-cannon... Time to play with sharpness again...

What kind of damage do you want it to do?

A good way of killing things fast but avoiding bullet uber-penetration is to make it fire extra particles, like 2 or 3 per shot.

(By what kind of damage I mean is is a machinegun or a grenade launcher, etc.)

Mini Auto-Cannon(Machine gun x Cannon): Deals insane damage, geared towards anti-vehicle combat (kill the dropship before it even gets to flip over), while not so geared towards use against flesh...

Maybe the terrain raping could be its counter balance, for great power you're probably gonna kill a lot of your team members or make your base weaker. Gotta decrease its firing rate...

On another note, I'm working on a missile launcher, how do I get the missiles (actor) it shoots to face the direction it was fired?

You can't.

We all hate it.

Looks really nice, will test it as soon as you fix the Human Template dependancies

Killed everything from human template. Maybe. Added in the ML for comments (Very broken, today I learn you can't DO missiles, and somehow the impact hits the guy o_-)... Gun not exactly tweaked yet.

Is it possible to use AEmitters on the missiles? While giving it the rocket's (craft) balancing act?

If you're looking for a homing missile effect, you could look at numgun's. It's well done. Blipflip made the original, but I haven't seen it around in a while.

Why didn't you just post in mods, then edit the first post as you altered it?

Whatever.

Since I'm a newbie to this forum, and I have been checking out the mods section, a lot of threads had holes in it (aka "Sprite sucks" etc etc). My arms actually hurt thinking of where to put something that I can't say its done! Even when I wasn't a member, I could still feel Grif's words burning into my head! Or I shouldn't worry about it...

To TFSRat

There was already a homing? I'll check that out.

Hmmm... SO wait, the missile is an actor with something as a weapon, and its set on sentry, to when it gets close enough it aims and fires its engine (the weapon) and... *rubs his head*

The weapon fires particles with negative mass, which causes the actor to be pulled in the direction it is firing. If it hits, it gibs, etc.

You know... That fixes the not facing direction it was fired problem...
