The TriGun is a powerful, versatile weapon capable of three firing modes - rapid, spread, and blast. Rapid resembles a machine gun, spread resembles a shotgun, and blast resembles a sniper rifle. The modes can be switched by opening the pie menu and selecting Gold Dig AI, as seen below.
Image
Rapid - fast firing mode.
Image
Spread - wide fan mode.
Image
Blast - accurate mode.

The BiTool is a useful, multi-purpose weapon capable of two utility modes - cut and fill. Cut mode digs through all substances very quickly except steel, which it cannot pierce. Fill mode fires a wide hose of wet cement to fill in holes very quickly. The modes are also cycled through with the Gold Dig AI in the pie menu.
Cut - quick digging mode.
Image
Fill - fast filling mode.

I was expecting a Vash sprite and some pistols!

My only real complaint is the look of the TriGun is a little too monotone, and although it appears to be an energy weapon, it still ejects multiple bullet casings.

I will download and test it further.

I'll likely change all the weapons to make clouds of smoke like the BiTool.
I also will have to find some way to clean up the sprite. I am no good at scratching.

Wow. Very, very nice. Kudos to you. Is it possible to make alt fire for grenades? If so, will you consider making a Bi-Nade? Like Frag & Concussion? Or something like that...
And I agree with Lfow, you might want to change it to eject a single battery case once you reload.

Make a UniShield that shields.

Lol, the point of that? Or a Bi-Shield that has Strong Regular Shield, or Weak Reflective shield.

I think we have a new great modder. Keep up the good work!

Do you need to improve the gun sprites, make them more individual...
change 1 pixel isn't enough for one player chance.

It would be neat to have a shield that you could (via gold dig) manually repair (replace) on the field at the cost of several seconds without using it. (or any other devices maybe even?)

It would kinda bring the whole "jump behind cover and wait 5 seconds for blood to fall off your face" gameplay mechanic to CC in lesser way.


Only complaint on the mod is how generic the devices' modes are. But that does make them the most functional, though. Maybe you should restyle them to fit with the tradestar pistol and rifle. Being available to everyone, it would be fitting, and it would make their place in CC better defined and justified, y'know? Not that that has often been seen as a problem is CC modding. But it's something you may want to consider.


Oh and mode switching still doesn't work when the devices are bought from the bunker building stage. I suppose I shouldn't repeat myself and make this mistake again though, since last time I helpfully commented on this issue my post was specifically chosen to be deleted after much deliberate thought.

I am definitely going to be working on other multi-purpose weaponry, the next of which to be an explosives pack. A shield pack is also likely. About spriting, well, I'm not particularly good, but I'll give it my best to make it look Trade Star-ish.

To Azukki, I am going to try to figure out why it doesn't work when placed. Your comment wasn't deleted specifically, it was collateral to clean up the thread of other banter.

Expect an update with new sprites soon!

Azukki@: Simply brilliant, like tabbing so fast as you can two keys to repair it in combat
I would surely try that shield if someday comes playable.

Hamjuice@: PM me for spriting tips :wink:

This mod could really use some more spice in form of cool firing effects, more effective shots and better sprites. Its horribly boring now.

numgun has a point though, the current style is a little bland, especially for being it's own style. That's part of why I was suggesting tradestar style, so it would avoid being generic in it's own way, thus without a foundation to firmly sit on... If that makes sense. (it doesn't)

One particular point, I suggest faster 'bullet' speed on blast mode. 100 m/s is a little slow for a sniper, even considering CC's retarded sense of ballistic velocities.
