Give Kettenkrad a big thank you for the sprites!

Travel back to the time of the Wild, Wild West. With pistols, rifles, shotguns, and amazing weapons. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and will be taken somewhat seriously. :grin:

Well, I am about to test it out, so I'll edit this up when I have some valuable feedback.

EDIT: Actually, this is pretty good for a first mod. The sprites need some outlining, and a bit more contrast, but they aren't horrible. I think you could have settles on just making this a standard weapon pack, but some custom sprites for the actors would change that. Lower the sharpness on all of the rifles, and change the shapes of the rifle sprites. The barrels are OK in distance, but the stocks are too short, and too overall small. Keep working on this, I'm looking forward to more.

I reduced the sharpness of rifles by a ton and added some TNT! So as for that, what new features should I add to the mod?

As for spriting, What's wrong with it? I don't think it's too bad and the length seems just fine to me atleast.

Downloaded it but there wasn't any TNT. Did you put the newer version?

nothing wrong with the sprites and hey they arent re-colours which is always good
actors would be cool but as i said your not the best but with training you could improve
also for things you can add how bout a skirmish mode with cowboys or if your feeling brave some indians

Better Revolvers and Cow-boy hats is what this mod needs.

EDIT: Also the sprites could use a little TLC, and maybe some custom sounds, but the important thing is the rifles have a nice feel to them, thats always a good thing to have.

I added 1.01 to the OP now and I kept the download number to boost my moral.

I'm not a good spriter, but this guns are a bit big and lack somewhat of outlining.

Just saying, it's my opinion, but hey, they are pretty good for being the first ones.

The guns might be a little overpowerful for old west weapons (I don't know that an old school shotgun would do a whole lot to fully armored future units) but it's a fun pack, and the weapons are entertaining to use.

Maybe an old school mounted gatling gun of some form? A carbine that you could aim stupidly far would be cool too, if you're going for spaghetti western effect. Along those lines, the pistols might be cooler if you could shoot them as fast as you could pull the trigger, perhaps.

As has been noted, outlines would go a long way towards making your guns look as solid as they work. Also, a little bit of simple lua would keep your weapons powerful and minimize their terrain destruction effect.

Not calling you out or anything but I honestly thought about this and don't think it would be fair if the guns were really accurate to how they really were. It would take alot of fun out of it, for gameplay purposes. As for a gatling gun, I has no clue how to make a mounted gun...

Edit: For the shoot as fast as you can thing I added it to the Army revolver, but I think it would be un-neccisay for the rest due to the higher accuracy and damage and All of them are single action.

The guns are too narrow, have no outlines, the contrast and gradient in the sprites that appear to be meant to give it depth and shape instead just make it look like a single color that has been given a nice subtle coating of filth, and overall they look like pictures you found on the internet that have been downsized and placed into palette. Also the pistols are too goddamn large. Even for CC they are monstrous.

That's what's wrong with the sprites.

For the terrain rape, reduce sharpness and slightly increase mass.
For the Hog Rifle, mass and sharpness.
