Hmm... yeah that's actually pretty bad advice out of context... anyway, the other advice it goes with is this: Nobody but you can see the effort in it; when you judge it ignore the fact that you made it and just look and see if it looks alright. If it looks 'wrong' then it probably is.

Oh, so HE doesn't get a 2-week ban for making letter bomb comments?

Anyway, sprites are alright actually, need some shading, but they're good enough other than that.

One question though, why would the Demolition man use "magnesium bullets"?

Magnesium and like two or three other minerals/chemicles are used to make this extremely hot material, can't remember what it's called, but yes magnesium by it's self would be a very infective material to make bullets out of.

Magnesisum is very hot burrining (it creates its own oxgyin), and it lights on impact, so the idea is
armour peircing/explosive bullets. magnisum is used as;
a gunpoweder indredient
flares
thermite

No, it needs to be combined with other chemicals to burn. I've watched enough science experiments to know this.

It wouldn't EXPLODE as such, but yeah, it would hurt them a lot.
So it's like a mini-flare-machinegun.
Awesome.

If you burn it in just air it burns VERY brightly and hot.
Magnesium oxide is the residue I believe.

yes, and it needs no reactions, my school science teacher fooled around with it durring the begening of the year to show us it. all you need is a lighter or a hammer, and when he litt it, i burned white with sparks, which is how magnisum burns due to the heat, and magnesium oxide is the residue, which is a dust, which the mix with aluminum dust to make thermite, which burns even hotter.
so yeah, like a flare machenegun

My point is it wouldn't explode.
It would still make a good weapon though.

Yeah

also, i started on the first weapon sprite:

but im not done with it,
its the railgun concept from the assasins, exept, its better both codeweise and (hopefully) spriteweise

The actor looks half okay, but the weapon looks horrible. I'd try to come up with better weapon designs.

okay then, this is still a wip, so, ill re-upload the sprite in sevral minutes looking better.
p.s.
which part fails, shading, texture shape, or all 3?

What I want you to do, Lafe, is go and sketch what you want it to look like.
Reference pictures of similar weapons, or weapons you like the look of.
Be sure to take note of functional parts.

Because that is an atrocity

Didn't you say contrary was going to do the sprites? He really needs to because he is a much better spriter than you. In fact he's one of the better spriters here.

he quit saying he had heard i couldent code,
so, i have to do this.

@wintoruss;
good idea, i can draw fairly well



any better?
