I guess there are more complaints about the sprite than anything else. so let me answer in rough order:

The light isn't coming from the viewer on this sprite, it's supposed to be roughly from above. It's not a perfect sprite, I know.


Vanilla conent has the Dummy Symbol facing either way depending on what it is and/or which way it is facing, so I find this nitpick irrelevant.



It's just the design of the weapon. If you google "Heavy Bolter" you'll know what I mean. I don't think they are really true iron sights but rather just an aesthetic feature.


I'm sorry but that looks pretty silly.

Oh you're so mean, Lowee. Mean mean mean. That wasn't even directed at me and I want to cry.

We still love you, though. :3

In any case the sprite looks ace. I thought it looked a little big, but when I tried shrinking it myself I realized it is just about right. Looking forward to release day.

The sprite needs improvment. Just need to tweak it some more. I'll definitely add some features to give the weapon some depth at the least.

Functionality wise I worked out the problems I was having with CC48's duel weapon mode. I did run into the problem of it reseting the ammo counter, which I've been told is unavoidable unless I have Lua directly take over ammo counting with its own ammo counter a la the manuakl reloading shotgun or the like.

I said it wasn't very good...Just trying to help out a little. I don't think your sprite is bad but those were just some ideas you could or could not choose to use (the latter apparently, heh.) Anyways whatever comes out will be good.

Alright. I've sat down for about an hour or two and completely resprited this baby, based on some of the complaints and criticism. Hopefully this is far more acceptable as I actually put effort in this time.

Here's the new sprite unloaded and loaded:


Before any further critiques are made, please keep in mind that this was the reference picture and overall desired design, with a few personal alterations:


I'm much happier with this sprite than any previous iteration, so I thank everyone for the massive amount of feedback.

Nice, looks much better now.

How are you going to do the magazine?
Have it attached through Lua and shove it up in the gun when firing or just have it hang there?

well, what I'm going to do once lfow asks me for the lua script, is probably just gonna be an MOSR positioned at that spot, probably by a script on the actor, or otherwise communication between actor and gun.

Man, that is a nice sprite. Good times.

Agreed.

I really like the 2x picture, it really shows the detail you've put in, but when compressed to the right size, all of your effort kinda gets shunted aside.

Nice sprite

:O Whenever I look at that, I get eye-boners.

very nice.

It looks a lot better. Looks more...how can I put this...more "heavy metal" for lack of a better term. I like it.

Make a large one for your Behemoth

What is it with this forum and warhammer 40K?

It is a vast sci-fantasy universe with some killer art direction. I find it no surprise it rears its head in mods around here, or pretty much anywhere else.

I will say, however, that you won't be seeing just a bunch of W40K universe weapons Dummy-ized from me. This grenade launcher is aimed to be the only unoriginal design.
