I was bored this afternoon and came with the idea of making a new hagar design. Morphed's design is wonderful, but IMO, it should be the crylink model; a silver finish and some more lights would be wonderful for that model. And the older model, while being simple
Here you can see my MESSY hagar sketch. I based the model around parts of other weapons: the old mortar grenade "revolver" (as wiki says mortar is a derivate from hagar), the laser grip and electro like plasma tanks for the compressed air storage. Kinda tried to keep "Nexuizish": WARNING: 1MB image; contains messy stuff, may be harmful for the eyes of people obsessed in cleanliness (left pilot sketches are the latest version)

As you can see, it's far from a definitive sketch, and it has some (if not many) irregularities, such as the shoulder support distance to the weapon, etc. But I made it thinking that It wouldn't arrive to something definitive.
Oh BTW, I should find out the GPL license thing. It would be obviously released (if it arrives that far, I think it won't) on GPL.

should replace seeker

TBH, I just happen to love the new hagar model
But don't give up sketching, the TAG eg. realy needs an improvement!

Seeker has a good model that exactly corrisponds to it's use.

The current hagar is pretty (morphed's).

what is wrong with the hagar we have now?
I think that the one we have now fits well with the overall them of nexuiz... (it is 200% better then the old one -_o )

I'm giving up Hagar. I've had a new idea for a crylink; but I need time, I'm having some difficulties with the cannon.. TAG has a matching model, but will have a look at it.
BTW, about the hagar. It would be possible to see how the projectiles come from the three cannons? They come out from the center, like if it had only one cannon.

i dont like the seeker model 4 pipes but rockets spawn from 1 point
and the current hagar model is beautiful but the electro has the best

The TAG has 4 cannons but only throws 3 rockets, I guess one of the cannons launch the tagging device, which is smaller than a rocket...
About the projectile spawning, is it possible to change the spawn of them (projectile 1 from cannon A, projectile 2 spawns on cannon B, and projectile 3 spawns from cannon C). The hagar has its projectiles spawning from a single point and has 3 cannons...

I have a new dirty crylink sketch which its body is similar to the electro one, but near the cannon there are 3 magnetic heads for accelerating the plasma (like a trident but places in a triangular disposition). It's kinda weird, but I like it.
I would like to add more heat diffusing surfaces, like those used on PC hardware. Like this: http://www.kabytes.com/wp-content/uploa ... -calor.jpg
The problem is that I can't find a way to draw them nicely.
I've done a TAG seeker model, but soon discarded it, It's like a RL but with 3 cannons.
Will post these sketches soon (later this night or tomorrow). My scanner is a bit stupid today

The tag shoots 4 rockets (last time I've checked).
Maybe they changed it recently.

I have a new basic dirty crylink drawing which its body is similar to the electro one, but near the cannon there are 3 magnetic heads for accelerating the plasma (like a trident but places in a triangular disposition). I've not considered it finished, but instead of putting more efforts I've posted a 65% done version (back part of the body incomplete).

Also did a sketch of a TAG seeker that is like a RL, didn't like it, but Including it on the image. The only I've liked about it is the disposition of the cannons: 3 for the homing rockets; 3/4 for the defensive "fireworks" and one at the center for the tagging device.
Morphed had a model of rocket launcher; it could be modified for a new TAG seeker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5O4DryD ... annel_page
I think it just needs 4 little cannons for the defensive fireworks near the main cannon.

o yes this rocketlauncher is cool perfect for tagseeker (from the youtube video)

Yes. IMO, it only needs a little change on the cannon.

Btw, any comments about my crylink abomination?

looks very good, i agree with making it seeker. kinda reminds me of a game that had a similar machine pistol where the bottom part sticking out was a blade for melee.
