We have many entries for this contest

while your at it cavecricket this might help the modding community grow a bit but could you create a modding guide for dummies with all the actor and vanilla weapons templated with easy to understand language because if anyone can understand it you'll have people making new content quickly and maybe even exploring making more complex things which would lead them to here..

it seems in my haste i forgot to mention steam guide* not forum.

Doesn't the contest end today

Submissions end today, voting starts tomorrow. Contest ends when the voting is finished.

lets hope the next contest is something about adding something to game not just another mod but actual game content accepted by data and updated even if that means just making stuff from concept art because you'll probably be doing him a favor..

It's still the 12th of May in some parts of the world! Go vote!

Updated rules for more clarification on submission rules, this applies for next contest.

Was gonna post a gun. But it uses AEmitters (to make pretty-pretty muzzle flash effects), which apparently means the AI can't fire the weapon.

I'm currently hunting the forums trying to find a workaround.

I'll eliminate the emitters if I have to, but would need help finding another way to implement the muzzle firing-effects.

All in all, it looks like I won't make it before the deadline. Maybe I'll post it next week.

The sharpness of the fired AEmitter is what the AI uses to calculate the ballistics, use it instead of the bullet velocity.

Hmm. I just tried increasing sharpness to 160 (from 40) while leaving the emitted MOpixel velocity at 130, and nothing seems to have changed. I'll keep at it. It's kinda fun learning to code.

Apollon, if you have a look at the Imperatus Mauler shotgun you will see how to do it.

Since B30 you don't have to set the emitter sharpness anymore. You add can the properties AIFireVel (m/s) and AILifeTime (ms) to the Round instead. The emitter sharpness hack still works though, for backwards compatibility reasons.

Wow! Thank you. Once I figured out the Mauler code, that was the easiest fix ever!
