he just said...lol. but if someone were to ASSIST him im sure that could happen.or you could take it and do it yourself. also a dreadnought would be wicked. but thats not for Asklar to do. these arnt his mods. he didnt make them. dont expect him to work on them.im sure someone else could be found to do them.

Yo Asklar, if you want any help, I'd be happy to try and work on this with you. Imo a dreadnought would work well once the walkpaths are done.

Well, I didn't actually have any plans on doing more stuff for this, but, if you want to do stuff, you are welcome.

And yes, I'll probably be helping you with the stuff.

I suggest looking at the DarkStorm lasers and making the lasgun/laspistol look more like that first, to bring them in line with their portrayal in the assorted games. The small projectile moves so fast and has almost no impact register beyond sparks on metal, which makes it pretty hard (for me, at least) to gauge where I'm shooting in the middle of a firefight.

Also the sounds are a bit off and probably need replacing.

i support this endeavor. i love me some warhammer 40k. it would be nice to see some other races too if people are still willing to work on it. i would if i knew how and had the time.

First of all, this is a very professional community.
We don't just steal other people's mods. :]
We ask first.
ohmygodlol

Also, asklar said it himself, he's not going to be doing alot with this, if anything.
You'd be better off independently putting one in yourself.


You can learn, just look around in mod making.

I'm not saying "rip them off 100%". I'm saying "Darlos has pretty awesome lasers that look a bit more like lasers right now compared to the current las weapons, which just shoot very fast red bullets. Looking at how he does it could help improve the las weapons".

Sure, ask first, but there's no point reinventing the wheel if it can be avoided.



I'm aware - I was referring to Kettenkrad's offer of help mostly, assuming that goes anywhere.

QFT. It can look daunting at first, that's why there are plenty of tutorials. Start with, say, tweaking your favourite guns first. Examine bits of code here and there, try giving a gun the ability to swap between two types of ammo using the pie menu or something. Work your way up towards actors and such from there.

For example, I've been experimenting with some tweaks to this very mod that add an armour-piercing shells option (for those rare enemies that are immune or highly resilient to the standard explosive shells) to the four bolters, using the Coalition Grenade Launcher ammo swapping scripts and new round/magazine types.

Thank you very much. I will take your advice whole heartedly. And I agree it is very daunting XD

Guys,
No need to quarrel I've always wanted to say that!.

I just made a compilation, if anyone wants to expand it or make another WH40K mod please feel free to do it, and if you want I can add it in here.

Who is quarreling? *thinks asklar didnt us it right*
anyway I'm trying to learn to code at the moment so I can start modding a bit myself. I see dreadnoughts , cloud and space elves in my future XD

I love the weapons, and the sound too.
I love the bolter !
I will use it forever lol

One thing that really bugs me is the flamer is the one from the Orkz mod. It's an Orky Burna, not an Imperium Flamer. Since there are only Imperium factions in the Compilation right now, I felt this needed fixing.

So I fixed it. I sat down, pulled out image editing software, pissed around with offsets for far too long (many thanks to Azukki's guide) because I kept mixing up X/Y directions, and eventually I got this;


I wouldn't say it's perfect by a long shot (I am no spriting master and my focus was on the outline not the details), but I'm fairly satisfied with it. The fuel tank ejection is really awkward and the hand offsets are probably slightly off but otherwise it works pretty well.





Save both .bmp files to W40K.rte/Weapons/Other/Flamer. Back up your current Flamer.ini if you want, then save the attached one above in the same folder.



Asklar; If you want to make this officially part of the compilation, then go ahead. Feel free to adjust the hand offsets and the sprite as well, if need be. The fuel tank/mag offsets are all set though. I spent far too long getting those right.

It looks good and works good.
Can I make you a small question?
There are some other weapons that aren't that good (namely the shotgun).
Would you mind giving them a go? Changing the sprites and offsets but keeping them working the same? Just if you want, of course.
I could turn them into a patch for the mod.

I can certainly give it a try. No promises though.

Ok!
Thanks for it.
