Still under construction and looking for suggestions.

Now with bonus pictures.

A scope on the SMAT

A scope would make it into an insanely over-powered sniper rifle, and it's already over-powered as it is.

However, I'm thinking of changing the AH104 to a .600 HE-AP caliber instead of a .50 AE. Does anyone know how to change the bullet impact so that it spawns a small decorative explosion without using projectiles?

Not at all. You can give it a non-magnifying scope, or limit its magnification to maybe 2x. You can also give it large AimSpread values by default, and decrease them in the SetScopeBehavior function, as I've done in my mod, to decrease its accuracy while unscoped.

You'll have to create special ImpactEffects and ImpactManager (IE_x and IM_x) classes for the weapon, and add the explosive emitters to the ImpactEffects class.

.600 caliber rounds eh? Sounds wrist-breaking.

The problem with a scope, and the reason why I've removed it, is that with one the weapon is simply a G5 with a different projectile. I'm trying to make the SMAT as different as I can while still keeping the basic functionality.

Thanks, I'll try this one out.

I've yet to see a .50 recoil like the AH104 does.

About those .600 rounds...

Yup, that's a light target pistol firing .600 NE rounds. Heavier pistols don't recoil that much.

The AH104 has a large counter weight in the front and fires specialized HEAT rounds, so you won't have to worry about breaking your wrist ingame.

The juggies could probably do snap shots with that thing using only one hand.

Do you think you could add some sort of special effects when you fire the gun?
Like a slight blur to make the kickback feel more devastating.

Why blur? A partial loss of hearing would make more sense, guns tend to make quite the noise when fired.

Blur as more of a jarring effect due to the recoil,but deafening sounds nice too.
Also perhaps a sudden jerk up with the view would really sell this as a beast of a gun.

Sending the view flying might work. Actually, that would be pretty fun for all the guns; instead of applying inaccuracy/recoil to the gun fire, the guns will have pinpoint accuracy but the view will move around instead to create the inaccuracy/recoil.

This is kind of hard to explain. Games like FEAR used this method quite a bit.

Actually there is already another pack out there that does that,starts with a R.(forgot the name)
I much prefer runestorm's method,but throwing these little additions in would make this gun rock.

The smallest things can make the biggest changes.

I beleive a system like the one Bjossi mentioned can actually be used in BW. You need to adjust the view inaccuracy/choas sliders to one end or the other to do this, I think. Not sure which end you gotta put it in though.

Beta testers should have access to Private Test Beta 6. Check PM's.

Happy bug hunting!

I have an idea!

Instead of wasting a crapload of time looking for animators, I'm going to give the M30A2 a battery in place of the standard grenade launcher and ditch the M30 altogether. That way, I won't have that ugly floating hand and I'll be able to release ahead of schedule.

Perhaps I could keep the M30 by adding an underslung shotgun (see masterkey http://www.impactguns.com/store/media/kmc_masterkey.jpg), but my previous attempts at coding one in have all failed.

You can try an underslung shotgun by simply changing the fire type of the secondary to that of the M763. Just copy paste and change references! Oh, and don't forget to add in bits of M900 code that would be needed. I can also try my hand at this soon. So... two man team!

Ooh,great idea... A gun that shoots a shotgun which in turn randomly shoots shotgun shells.

Genius!

Uhh, no. :p

Anyway, here's a picture of the battery so far.



Does anyone know how to get rid of those darn masked texture lines?

Wow that gun look interresting! What will the battery thing do??

It's the power supply for the weapon's miniature magnetic accelerator.

The secondary fire mode of this baby is a gauss-sniper shot.

Is this some idea you perhaps got from my OCAdam's M806A2 and OCAdam's S-AR12?

What does that do mr Doom sergeant?

Nope, every weapon in this pack that was made by me was brainstormed and idealized a long, long time ago back in 2006. The only exceptions are a secret weapon made by our very own Captain Xavious and the A73B, which I made when BW Gold came out and was influenced by Kaboodles back in private beta 4.


And the M30A2's secondary gauss fire will blow Kien's head right off his shoulders. Headshot means instant death.

Gauss?

YES!I love High velocity stuff.

:<

I've managed to transfer the files from my old hard drive and now, aside from the Elite A73E which got corrupted, everything is back in working order.

My old computer's hard drive, the one with this mod on it, isn't responding.

Progress has effectively been halted.

So, how can you get progress back on track?

Late to the party, but this is genius.



Probably not. Your best option here would be to just keep the tarp and color it brown or something.


Sorry about your computer problems. It's partly the reason I decided to upload that update to my own mod, to make sure this stuff doesn't happen.

Any chance ol James can get on the january v10 release? Saw the post over on moddb, lookin sexy!
