I created a overpowered smallish rocket spam weapon out of my Tau Pulse Carbine sprite. Since it already had a yellow'ish color scheme it was only a matter of changing a few colors to a slightly different shade of yellow-orange to make it dummy'ish. So yeah.

BTW, this is kinda unpolished and probably won't become any more polished. So if anyone wanna add sounds or gibs, feel free to do so. I'll gladly add it to the OP with you credited.

Edit: fixed the wrong placement in the coalition weapons category

I'd like to credit GI for the firing sound

I also want to thank everyone who helped me in this thread for helping me make the drunken rocket effect











Outdated gifs, cba to make new ones

Gif with side by side comparison of the rocket launcher effects

Same deal, overpowered rocket launcher of sorts. Also kinda unpolished so if you fix that feel free to send over a version and I'll throw it in the OP

Credit to GI and Grif for making the latest version of the DAPRL

Thats what i basically think

Sorry, guys. You'll have to wait a few minutes. I accidentally posted this when I wanted to preview it. I'll have the OP done in a few minutes

K, should be done now

Oh thats pretty cool, dl'd.

when i shot this my soldier said

YGMDL, good sir
For personal reasons of insanity, I will up the rocket count and down the damage per rocket so as to make a gun worthy of the epithet

Send me it when you're done. I WANT SWARMERZ!

Well done! I was planning on releasing something like this, but you got it

Nice job!

I like this weapon a lot. Especially the curvy motions of the rockets. I recommend DL.

If it wasnt implied.... YGMDL

Automatic drunken launcher, neat.
The trails should be more filled out though in my opinion. It should look more like a streak of smoke and fire than a dotted path of fire puffs.

Also when they slow down to a stop, the flash on them looks weird. Maybe try to make that disappear when the propulsion stops?

Exploding in air, or falling into the ground and exploding, would be also be good instead of disappearing. For some reason I think things disappearing before your eyes in lame. And lack of explosions are disappointing after shooting 40 rockets.

Also an array of different effect rockets would be neat. The regular round could shoot a recoil-negation style emitter that shoots a concussive rocket and a frag rocket, while the tracer shoots an emitter that shoots an incendiary and anti-material rocket. (significant terrain damage, barely lethal regular damage)
The different rockets could also have their own trails.

gun sprite is okay but the actual gun is very cool. i dont like how you cannot aim btw. its kewl.

But that's the fun part! It's a spray and pray rocket launcher.
If you could aim it's initial velocity worth a darn you would expect it to stay accurate too, wanting a hit for your aimed shot, and you would be frustrated with the drunkenness of the missiles.
But when the missiles are already tremendously inaccurate to begin with, the drunkenness makes the spray and pray chaotic instead of just random. And that's the awesome part.

The sprite fits in so well it almost looks vanilla.
