Bloody hell, this all looks amazing!
I might have to teach my self to sprite, seeing this sort of stuff motivates me to make cool looking pictures with battles going on and stuff.
Keep going guys!

All da finished gunz. I still need to do the rotating mags though.
Tell me if I've forgotten something.

Mmmmmm. I don't see a Lascarbine/M41 in there (note the carbine is actually shorter than the Lasgun, not just bayonetless), but otherwise I think the only things missing are, as you say, the rotating/animated mags - and the glowy plasma coil sequence (W40K.rte/Weapons/Plasma Weapons/Coils). Also the striped/whatever mags for a couple of weapons - incendiary/acid/kraken bolts, for instance. If you're looking at the current mag sprites, 'ap' is armour-piercing/kraken, 'in' is incendiary, and 'ac' is acid.

For the coils, you can add frames if you want to make a smoother animation. It'll be a simple tweak to adjust the rate of animation and the number of frames it uses.

Also, is that an underbarrel grenade launcher variant I see for the Autogun?

Sweet, I'll get right on those. And yes, yes it is.

EDIT: And here the mags are. I coulda sworn there was a lascarbine in there somewhere.

Looking at the Las Weapons sheet I see - from the top;

Laspistol
Lasgun
Lasgun w/ Bayonet
Lascarbine or M41
Hellpistol
Hellgun
Longlas
Lascannon

The bayonetless lasgun looks slightly shorter but that's only because it's offset to the left by one pixel.

Rifle-scale lasguns are the M36 Lasgun (with bayonet), M36 Carbine, and M41 Auto. The carbine (should be) this fella here;


Compare to the standard M36;


Both about the same length judging by the illustrations I have handy, but are still distinctly different.

M41 is based off the full-auto lasgun used by the Guardsmen in Space Marine;


Slightly-less 'in-line' scope (not that they ever use it ) and a thinner barrel. Also note the slanted underside power cell compared to the flat cell used in the other lasguns.

Ed: ...where'd the Assault Cannon go?

Ed2: Also, need gibs for the un-painted Veng Launcher's ammo thingy, since there is a version without the gold trim that launches impact-detonating charges instead of remote ones.

Almost done splitting up gibs and such. 13 gib chunks for the lascannon is a bit much though! At least most of the las and bolter weapons have some shared parts though. Which is nice.

Have a decent idea of how I'm going to code the gibs in. Just make one template to define durability & materials, then have a bunch of copyofs that are nothing but filepaths and offset adjustments. Setting them all up in the gib editor after that should be fairly trivial.

Hardest part will probably be doing offsets for the actual guns and new mags. We'll see.

Yeah feel free to leave out some of the gibs I made, I went a bit overboard with them. XD

I compromised by merging some of the gibs into slightly bigger chunks - so the barrel is all one piece, for instance. Cut the number down to about eight gibs total.

Status update: I've split out and checked all the sprites for everything but bolter weapon gibs, and some new Assault Cannon mag sprites that Major should have ready for me in a little while.

Unfortunately my muse is fickle, and my time and energy are limited- but I do not intend to leave this work unfinished either. It will be done, though I don't want to set a deadline either.

Hey hey hey.
More stuffs.

Shiny. Nice job on the Melta-Cutter.

I'll get splitting the sheets finished up after my usual Sunday gaming session today, then set about some basic template work for the gibs before I dive into the offset work.

Make the dreadnought, and I will love you forever

On select it must have the classic "I have awoken" sound. And on heavy damage it should say "Even in death, I still serve"

Dreadnoughts are impractical in the CC engine, That and sprites are needed for it.

And i've been playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms so much lately. so don't expect anything from me xD.

Plus it runs into a big problem.

As for status updates; I've been pretty busy lately so I still haven't quite finished up the sprite-splitting work, but apart from new power weapon sprites and their gibs, almost everything is ready for me to start the recoding of offsets and new gibs.

Once that's done I'll do a 'test' release and hopefully get some feedback on offset positions.
