new weapon concept

[Yoda almighty]

here is the OBJ with a quick texture thrown together out of random images. later i will try and make an actual texture for it, but for now this should work for testing purposes.

i hope it works. if it doesn't, i will re upload somewhere else.

and C.Brutall, if you would like to retexture it with your pirate, by all means do so

although if you would like to make an actuall texture for it, that would be great too...

here's an image:

Thats Friggen awesome!

The texture looks alright except for the little orb in the middle, but it works.

[C.Brutail]

Hmm.. I kinda like it.
The orb should be animated imho, and maybe (maybe?) on the uper side of the grip there could be the pirate plate from old laser

Btw I didn't have to modify original laser texture that much... that texture just screems for that prank:

As I understand it, weapon animations are not possible right now. If they were, we could have a mortar with a rotating cylinder.

Someone already has a mod for that I think. Pretty sure weapon animations are possible. In fact, I think the mortar used to have a rotating cylinder without mods...

Meh, i've honestly grown to dislike it from its original renders that you posted.... :X I think this will serve a lot more purpose as being a gauntlet (For nexrun) than replacing the laser, as in all honesty -- I don't want this to replace the laser :X Would probably be easy to cvar the model of the laser, though. This way (server side) people could choose which one they want precisely in their balance.

i don't really want this to replace the laser either. what i WOULD like is for this to replace the current functionality of the laser, plus a melee attack and make the laser a regular weapon that is the start up weapon, and make the shotgun a pickup.

That's even worse. (Shotgun pickup, that is )

Yes, once upon a time, but I think that an SVN change removed that possibility a while ago. However, that's neither here nor there.

I disagree. I think the best course of action is to make this a weapon with a laser primary and a melee secondary. If players spawn without the sg, they are by and large defenseless. I can't recount how many vital kills I've gotten with an sg and laser (base clearing, fc, etc.).

So this is dead?
