Hey BW nuts!!

I thought i'd write this here, to clarify more or less about the whole simple weapon concept...

Simple Weapons are basically weapons which require little to no new coding.. they are sub-classed over other weapons, using their code for their functionallity.. with more complex weapons, like Minigun and Flamer being made, it allows for more simple weapon possibilities..

We only need to make model, animate, skin, sound, effects, and code tweaking, to make them work.. no weeks tedious coding on DC's behalf.. even I could tweak most default properties..

i'll try answer more of your questions here should u have any.. :)

Would most of the G36 be almost considered simple weapons? Cause it'd be very much like the M50, but in 3 different forms.

yeah :D

anything that uses existing code stuff...

depends if u want wierd features or not, like flash light or the like.. :)

if they work like the sniper, MG's and M50, then they are simple weapons..

with new flamer and minigun and such coming, then we can redefine what a simple weapon is :D

i think the sniper might be the hardest one to make (code) since its a semi-automatic rifle, unless you guys would rather do another bolt-action one.

No, they've already got code for semi-auto weapons.

I think the flamer or the minigun ones are the most time-consuming & tough to code.

i think the flamer would be harder to code than the minigun, with the minigun they just needed to max out the rof and stuff from the 50 cal machine gun code, while the flamer was totally new code.

You never know. The minigun may function, code-wise, very differently from the other automatics.

Don't forget the code that needs to be created from scratch, like accelerated barrel spinning, telling each of the barrels to circle around a certain point. And also to spin down and perhaps send out smoke while that happens.
Not to mention when you are out of ammo, the gun might spin forever until you let go of the firing button.

So the minigun is one hell of a piece to get together.

u guys have NO idea what the minigun is gonna be like :D

DC's gonna get a huge headache doing it i bet, but when its done!! it'll put MG's, and dual XK2's to shame.. :D

Yeah, I knew that long time ago, by simply knowing how a minigun works. :P

well it'll be great to see it once its done of course.
