For those who are wondering about the CYLO Supercharger.

It does exactly one (1) damage per zap. (1 dmg)
It takes 15 zaps to generate an electrical arc on a player. (10 dps)
It takes 20 zaps to supercharge a wall. (50 dmg)
It takes 25 zaps to supercharge a player. (400 dmg!)

Why does it always seem to kill everybody before I can blast them then? Or was this changed for the new prototype package? Cause I haven't tried that yet. In which case, THANK YOU.

If it hasn't been changed though, then, bite me. lol.

I really don't know, they always blow up for me. Getting a regular kill with the gun is pretty rare unless the guy's already wounded, at least in my experience.

Its possible hes using an older version of the Prototypes. So go ahead and check that link again and DL.

On subject on the Pulsar X505 Autolaser...



The bottom ones show a definite improvement over the top ones, a sign of constant updates.

Still wanna know if were gonna use all those colors though.

To be honest I would take the piece on the barrel off of it. Otherwise though, very nice. Is it just going to be colour variations or will they have different properties? Cause just IMO if they have different properties, there should be a way to get them separate of each other (the HMC-117 laser.)

Lots of work on the prototypes today. The XM20 Handheld Laser is shaping up nicely.

Edit: foreach RadiusActors (class<Actor> BaseClass, out Actor Actor, float Radius, optional vector Loc) means that the NUKE and LAW will now murder things through walls! Woo!

Ahem, as of this update the XM9000 Tactical Nuke effectively trumps every single weapon designed so far. It clears out entire bases and can literally win games in a couple of shots. <3



========================== Old
Also, I've tinkered with the nuclear bomb so that it now does damage through walls. Unfortunately, due to a design that I assume is hardcoded into the engine, it will only kill enemies that have direct line of sight to either you or the bomb. (For those of you who played the original Doom, that's how the BFG worked.) Right now I've hotwired the viewshaking code so that the player will always get damaged through the walls, but bots seem to be immune to that.

If you guys can find or post any alternate methods to getting explosion damage to ignore map geometry, I would be extremely grateful.

Yes, but it can't beat the golden gun.

Golden gun takes a while to reload, and it doesn't have the huge splash of a nuke.

Yes, but the golden gun can go an infinite distance, and it's safe to use, unlike a nuke.

Golden Gun vs. Leviathan = Epic win.

Well, u has only 3 shots, a nuke has 12.

What.. ? A nuke merely requires you to shoot in the general direction of the enemy base for a buncha kills while the golden gun requires precision for maybe one kill. Please explain how this makes the golden gun better.

Exactly. The golden gun is more of a replacement of the Instagib(along with teh LS440M)

While the nuke is a super weapon in its own right. Its one of the my replacements of the Deemer.

I made a texture for it too, its just a reskin of the G5 though. Its my personal thing though, till we get an awesome model for it.

Don't have to clean up a massive stain, and the lingering radiation floating around in the air.

Also, the Golden Gun likes to screw with your minds.

OK, jig is up, I know the nuke's better, just wanted to see a reaction, I'll just shut up now until something more relevant comes along, sorry for yanking your chains.

If I may unceremoniously butt in...

Kelly, you said your CYLO-E supercharger only does 1 damage per tick?

I shouldn't be killing freshly-spawned guys without blowing them up then....

However you say it should work, it isn't.

There's no sound cause I had my headphones on. I shot the vid with my iPhone.

edit: hmmm.... I play on the Novice difficulty (not cause I suck, just cause it's fun. )

Might the lower difficulties have anything to do with that? Does it compensate by jacking the damage of your weapons or something? Cause as you can see, that is not "one damage".

This is also the newest prototype package, at least I got it out of your sig.

I like the lack of long barrel of these two



But much prefer the colours of the top right >.>; (as seen below)


Awwell, that is my input for the month =P

Mal

P.S don't get me wrong, all the laser designs are awesome, just these are my favourites :3

@Nemephosis

Other than maybe the Doom Zombieman, none of them are dying by the bullets. You do realize its a two stage explosion, right? 15 hits starts them electrocuting, 25 explodes them. If you still don't believe Sgt. Kelly he can probabaly send you the source code so you can see for yourself.

It also shoots invisible 'ignition' projectiles which do 5 damage each, though you're killing those guys before they even light on fire which is odd. I'll tinker with the code a bit.

Its very odd indeed, I dont really get that, I get the same results as SGT Kelly.

Well, go ahead and tweak the code, could use a fixen.

I didn't see any die without at least being electrified.

Yeah, but I am looking for them to die only by being kaboomed...

Edit: Also, I'm playing around with it some more. It seems to be difficult to supercharge a Hellbender or Goliath (and I assume the Leviathan), the larger vehicles. If I can get them from above, it seems to work more often, but still not always. The regular ion explosion (there's a smaller blue one and a larger greenish one) also seems to do peanuts for damage to a vehicle. IF I can manage to supercharge one, it does a much better job, but its tough. It seems to reliably work on Raptors and Scorpions, but the larger vehicles have to be fired at from above, or it just does the small blue ion explosion, and even then it does nuts for damage to them. The energy accelerator matrix fire mode works much better on them though.

I don't think u should be using it vs heavy vehicles IMO.

That applies to all small arms really

go use the M75 Railgun instead.

@raziel
I thought your favorite was the least liked by everyone. Teal+red.

Btw just so you all know, Kelly is now working on the texture for the new pistol, expect WIP pictures soon.

Greets, I want to say thanks to Sgt. Kelly for the beta release of the weapons, the pack is indeed pretty nice, good job, I would kindly wait for the official release.
I wanted to talk a little about a weapon, haven't anyone noticed the animations on the "XM300" Dragon Nanoblade look like more using it as a blunt weapon than a sword? Apart from that, if it hasn't been asked before, could you make sure the weapons are on the right place on the loadout menu for the full release? When I activate the loadout menu I can only pick up your guns from the "Melee weapon" part.

Maybe u haven't configure em in the mutator menu, did u do that? it works for me.

Dragon Tooth will be reanimated soon, before v9 is officially released.

As far as your problem with only selecting weapons from melee slot, you have to assign the weapons to melee, sidearm, grenade, primary and secondary seperately. Make sure you click the respective button first to assign weapons to that group.

yeah, it might take a while for u to assign all the guns u want in wutever slot. and it takes even more if u doing so for evolution loadout...

also a hint, u can even use non BW weapons if u check the button on the bottom left. they will all be located in the NonBW section.

Well I haven't seen it that way, I will try and see what happens, thanks for the reply



First off, thanks for the update on the Dragoon Tooth
About the selection of weapons, CMGuy told me the same, I will try this night and see what happens, for sure must be what you people said, thanks for the replies

EDIT: It worked, thanks for the support people

That variant will be going in, though I haven't decided what it will actually do yet. I'm thinking maybe semi-auto plasma bolts? Green lasers might work too, but I'm trying to keep our current laser weapons unique.

I still wish I could spam the BFG secondary fire without exploding
