Bumping this cause I updated it today. Apologies to anyone who'd call this necro.

This mod has a cool look to it, with the glow trails and excessive use of blue, but I have some critique.

1)every weapon with the exception of the sniper-looking one is incredibly weak and/or too short ranged. I went through an entire magazine of minigun fire on the tutorial mission and I didn't even kill the front dummy (it had 6 wounds on it)

2)If the short range is intentional, I would suggest making a much stronger set of actors to get up close to the enemy without dying.

other than that, cool mod!

ZM15, ZM97 and enforcer look epak. Everything else=repsrite.

Make your own sprites, or get a spriter. Although I must admit even respriting is better than *shudder* placeholders...

Mask goes under helmet. I could have sprited the outer armor for you. Offsets look really off.

Heh, these weapons kinda remind me of my older darkstorm/darklone stuff.

ZM99 is also original. I don't try to take credit for the originals of the respritted stuff though... you can see the credits on the OP, though they aren't too specific.
I do have some vague plans to replace the borrowed sprites eventually, once I get a bit more practice at spriting. (Except the ZM16, because it is supposed to look like an M16, and that sprite really does IMO. Another one would just be kinda pointless.)

I'm assuming you mean you just unloaded it without pausing at all; I'd kinda expect that. I'm pretty sure in the OP I mentioned that all the weapons had a lua script on them (courtesy of MacAnkka) that affected their accuracy, on the idea that they react to recoil. Thus, you'd get much better results from firing short controlled burst instead of just unloading madly.

Unless you did control your fire... in which case, I agree. I'll check into that.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I was getting that right . : / I'll try to fix it though.

Yeah, every round I fired hit the target, and all but 6 rounds simply bounced off.

Eh, okay, well just so you know, 90% of the things I think you mean by 'rounds' aren't meant to damage, they're there just to be glow trails. Each 'round' (as a round is defined in the .ini's) is an AEmitter that produces one damage pixel (the damage 'round') and a crap-load of glows that don't do any damage.

Even so, I'm still not having that problem. Using the ZM15, I killed the front dummy and the dreadnaught behind him. Got the same result five times in a row, so I'm still not sure whats going wrong.
