Judging from the pictures, the offsets are ♥♥♥♥.

Anywho downloading.

E1:

First impression. References to null.bmp in devices.
brb fixing.

E2:

Alright. Big weapons are impossible to pick up. Offsets suck.

Sprites are pretty good, if you did them yourself. They don't really fit in though.

The Imperial 12 gauge has a nice reload time, but the shots seem lazy and slow. Almost fires in an arc.
The dual Blasers are pretty much boring. Again, there is no sense of power when firing the weapons, just a bland sound and ugly bullets with brown/red traces.
I'm not sure if I get the plasma cannon. It shoots solid balls of something that just hit the wall and stay there. So pretty much a cannonball launcher. Bad sounds don't help either.
Avenger minigun. Great bulletspam with a horrendous sound. No thanks. Terminator shat "briks"? More like laughed when he saw how you held it.
The ReaperBB is actually pretty fun. Works like a railcannon, shoots through the terrain pretty well. Again, bad offsets and sound.
Raptor VI. Meh. Bad sound, ok sprite, doesn't work well.
Inferno Rocket Launcher. OH GOD THE LAG WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYanyway the explosion is bad. Ugly. Laggy. Sprite needs darker outlines, mind fixing that?
Quoter Impact Grenade Launcher is the best weapon of the pack. Shoots in a good arc, offsets are ok. Maybe tone down the explosion range a bit? Will easily hit your guy. Sprite is a bit bland.
The bunker breacher charge has a laggy explosion, and it breaches maybe 1.5 walls. 10 seconds of fuse time is overkill. Tone it down.
Exitus sniper. Sprite is nice, looks like a bolt-action rifle. Sound is bad, again, and the shots pierce a bit too much terrain. Use mass instead of sharpness to deal damage.

So pretty much fix your offsets, find better sounds and try to reduce the laggyness of the explosives and it will blend right in with the other mediocre mods.


E3:Oh my! Almost forgot the bunker buster. Penetrates and annihilates. Don't get that one wrong.
Same problem as with the other explosions, choppy.

Not gonna check out the beamsword anymore, when I stepped on it my legs exploded and I already deleted the mod.

DL? Not me.

Offsets are bad. The sprites doesn't look bad, but doesn't fit into CC's vanilla sprites at all. These gotta improve b4 I DL this.

Offsets are off, sprites look pretty bad-ish, at least the shading is wrong. And the looks of the weapons don't fit CC too well.

- Make sure the mod loads from a freshly installed CC copy. (E.g. avoid that null.bmp thingy.)
- Apart from the shotgun and blaster all guns seem gigantic.
- Is the palette correct? Some weapons seem a bit awkward coloured.
- The offsets are quite off, as mentioned.

Keep on improving it though! :grin: It's a good start.
I'd start with making the guns a bit smaller, more fitting for tiny hands. After that, try to improve the offsets. (They're a pain, I know.)

I think the Wepons are too big. Make them smaller. The offsets are bad, look at the Short Offset Tut in Wiki (http://www.datarealms.com/wiki/index.ph ... _Tutorials). But that modbasis is maybe the beginning of something big.

the melee weapon looks like a penis in the screenshot you gave us. work on the sprites and the offsets. the guns are a bit big. but good descriptions. my fav was plasma cannon then the impact grenade launcher.
