Being the Drama God I am, I love to, right before executing an orchestrated attack, cock the gun in hand before going off into battle. Childish? Yeah.

So, I noticed that you (Runestorm?) took off that nasty habit of cocking the gun each time it's pulled out. Very good. But shouldn't it happen right after a gun is reloaded? Or am I wrong?

Anyway, my main request is having a button that goes through the cocking animation of the gun you have. It won't do anything like expend ammo, reload, etc. Just for aesthetic purposes?

Yay? Nay?

No, but I don't care about 3rd person. It's an FPS, to me at least :D

Weapon cocking sounds like a nice idea for the egoes. :P

Making third person anims by code is not fun...

Cocking, we'll see. Not much tactical or functional purpose, but why the hell not? We can add the key option and if you want you can use it! :)

Well, we removed cocking when you pull out a weapon both to speed up the process and because its more realistic. Some guns do cock after reload, some don't, some only if your last shot before reload uncocked the gun. Some guns, like the M806, don't need to be cocked after you fire the last round, cause the slide is held back until you reload(like some pistols in real life);)

Well hey, as long as the first person animation is easy to bind to a button, that's all I want.

Thanks a lot, dude. It's an awesome mod, regardless. These're the types of weapons I DREAM of for any semi-realistic FPS.

Not to complain, but I wish the energy pistol was slightly more useful. That's the only one I have a problem with, in terms of the middle of battle.

Also, I never realized how useful the sprint button can be.

I think we need a new type of energy pistol, like the one in System Shock 2. Looks like a high tech pistol and shoots a blue electro-magnetic pulse that travels hundreds of miles per second. The pulse would look like a short burst of a blue laser, and of course it would glow like a tiny corona effect.

And let´s not forget kickass sounds.
:D

And I want my Minigun! WAAAAHHH!!!!
:P

I think a Minigun the ballistic way, would make this mod the most amazing weapons mod ever made for UT2004, if it isn´t already. B)

first we need a HUGE high powered MAGNUM.

a REVOLVER or DE!

they have to be over sized and look real slick!:huh:

i say we get our hand gun before any other MG's or SMG's.

Machinegun and Minigun are two very different things. A Minigun is really heavy, has so fast rate of fire that in order to keep the barrels from melting it spins multiple barrels and shoots bullet out of each at a time.

If a Minigun is planned, I suggest it is made as a superweapon by default but can be configured as a normal weapon in the options menu.

I say that because with their high rate of fire and accuracy due to the low kickback because of their heavyness, they would chew through a player with full HP/AP in no time at all.

I would love this, it feels so good to have the most powerful gun on a battlefield tearing players to shreds everywhere. (until the ammo is gone)

:D

Hmm, since you put it that way, it'd be a great replacement for a redeemer/ion painter. As an added bonus/balancer, it should slow down the person who holds it.

The Revolver/DEagle suggestion is definitely one to try.

We need a non/weak sidearm, but obviously replaces weakness with slowness/low rounds per magazine count.

I guess my topic has become hijacked.

Hijacked?! Don't say hijack to loud! We're from SA remember... It makes us panic and start shooting everywhere...laugh:
Oh yeah, about that cocking button, it's been added...
It'll be in the next release!(Soon)...(Hopefully...);)

We like minigun! We like minigun alot!B) We want! We plan for to put it in soon!!!:woohoo:
We also like Desert Eagle and magnum! We want those in soon too...:
Well, the weight isn't actually enough to balance the rediculous recoil of a minigun, but a stand will make it useable... It will spit out so many bullets that you won't be able to miss!(Unless you are really unlucky/unskilled)
We could take another look at the energy pistol... I find its huge ammo makes it handy for distracting enemies cause it just keeps on firing... (that is in multi though and bots don't get distracted)
Maybe it could fire three shots at once!(cause its got three barrels!):)

Magnum, Desert Eagle and an actual realistic acting Minigun unlike UT´s miniguns in the past; mouthwatering. :D

just get the BIG powerful handgun (IT HAS TO BE BLACK OR CHROME! NO WEIRD COLORS!) in the mod and you will have my for ever thanks :D

i like the mini gun idea too, sounds like a great super weapon!

Yes, a handgun that makes your view kick a bit upwards when fired, and a very powerful sound that makes the gun sound like something that kills a heavily armored player.
:D
