new weapon concept

[Yoda almighty]

I don't know. I'm still willing to work on it, but it seems no one can really decide what they want done with it.

[Flying Steel]

How about this, fix a glowing bayonet type thing under the existing laser model. Then let's give it the melee secondary attack finally.

Would that work for you, Samual?

[C.Brutail]

Gears of war anyone... ?

[Yoda almighty]

I can try anything people suggest, but you have to give suggestions first. I can't read your mind.

Samual: I can go back to the original model and make some revisions to it with my new modeling style. would that make you happy?

[Flying Steel]

Sam?

Ooops, sorry for the late reply, I would say just retexture it (Perhaps get Oblivion to do it?) and tilt in slightly so you can see some of the geometry from a first person perspective Idle animation could be that it twists slightly?

Try and add some red in too, maybe then it could replace the laser if it matches good enough with the projectile.

[Flying Steel]

Samual, this is what I meant by a TELESCOPING bayonet. Something like this could be under-slung on the laser, lash out to deliver a melee attack several feet away (to compensate for the fast-paced-ness of the game) and then quickly retract again. Please consider it as a possibility before you start looking for a reason to hate it.

As someone who loves to push people around on spacemaps with the laser, I'd like to leave an idea here for further discussion:

How about changing the tip of that telescope weapon to a boot? That could be pretty kick-ass. Literally.

[Flying Steel]

Yes, the tip can be anything folks want it to be. A blade, bang stick, plasma nozzle, boot or horses ass.

The point is to deliver a melee attack at a good distance, so that it is effective enough in a fast paced game like Nexuiz. The example model above reaches out 8 feet (2.4 meters).

[Roanoke]

I see flying steel likes thrusting.
Jokes aside, would mechanical elements really fit in with the unrealistic futurism of nexuiz? Nexuiz is all plasma weapons and energy beams.
