I can sure try. Darlos made self attaching ammo drums in DS, which is far more complicated than what I plan to do.

Will the classes have jetpacks?
Or will you somehow find a way to make scouts double jump, Soldier rocket jump, Ect..

Rocket jump is doable, and the scout's doublejump is just a jetpack with no fuel that recharges quickly.

hell, you could even limit it by height above ground to prevent re-use.

That may be a little awkward on some maps.

How are rocket jumps done without blasting our feet off?

Make the user have strong legs or feet. Thats the simplest way. Or make the rocket launcher only do a preset amount of damage to the user.

Have the projectile, on exploding, determine whether the user is nearby, in which case it just does a semi-random roll for damage to the parent (and other nearby actors) and applies velocity to the actor. You can even have the velocity be related to exactly where the rocket was.

Sort of. After playing video games, I want to do some stuff for my other mod, then maybe work on these a little. I realized that spriting actors from scratch is really difficult, so I'll stick to the weapons. I'm also going away for a couple of days soon.

I appreciate your interest, but don't expect this to be done anytime soon.

If anyone want's to work on it while I'm gone, feel free. Remember this is a request so it's open to all.

Yeah nice weapon sprites, though some of the scaling and colors look a bit off.

I'm fairly sure the Pyro's flamethrowers are longer than the Heavy's minigun.

Also the minigun's underbelly is white, not that brownish orange you made it, and the barrel is pure black.

It isn't the minigun, it's the Iron Curtain.

Ah, thanks LFOW, I didn't even think about scaling issues, I based each sprite off a separate picture. I'll (try to) fix. And sorry about the colours, I am truly horrible at finding good combinations on the CC palette.
As Miggles said, it is the Iron Curtain. P3lb0x used a minigun sprite far better than any I could do, so I did the Iron Curtain instead.

EDIT: Also, good to see you're back. Nice avatar?

The GL cylinder looks really weird.
And the gun beneath the scattergun (what is it?) looks too big.

Yeah, they've both been fixed since I posted that. That 'gun beneath the scattergun' was supposed to be the Force-A-Nature, until I realized that it was unrecognizable.
