v2
it is my goal to eventually replace every xonotic weapon model.
here is a possible model for electro.
RE: new gun model: electro - Lee_Stricklin - 10-06-2010
YES! That definitely looks like it would be an improvement over the current model.
RE: new gun model: electro - nowego4 - 10-06-2010
O_o
Electro or Mortar.
RE: new gun model: electro - theShadow - 10-06-2010
I think I have a plan for the mortar
btw, do you like the 2 barrels, or should I try and find a way to make it one?
RE: new gun model: electro - nowego4 - 10-06-2010
Well electro has 2 outputs so 2 barrels is good.
what does the fps view look like?

like that
(position might be off of course)
RE: new gun model: electro - nowego4 - 10-06-2010
Love it!
Unfortionatly I know nothing about texturing.
RE: new gun model: electro - Cuinnton - 10-06-2010
thats really sexy, although i think the electro is curentlly the best model in the game already! Don't really know what else it could be? maybe super shoot gun?
RE: new gun model: electro - FruitieX - 10-06-2010
What about the new mine layer weapon? This could possibly fit it just fine! It also needs a mine model for the dropped mines themselves.
RE: new gun model: electro - clanclanclan - 10-07-2010
+1 for FruitieX's suggestion. Perhaps the four things coming off the barrel could be electromagnets, and the weapon uses that to shoot mines
The model itself looks great (especially in first person view), and I think it could fit in well as the electro or mortar. But, as Cuinnton said, the electro is probably already one of the best looking weapons in the game.
RE: new gun model: electro - jaykay - 10-07-2010
these 4 ... which stick out make the model have a "butterfly-design".... i'm not so sure whether i like that.
it should have at least on of those huge barrels for the electro-balls. but the other one shoots a lighting right now, so it should have another barrel imo.
mine layer does not fit imo, but i don't know exactly why
RE: new gun model: electro - Minkovsky - 10-07-2010
this fits mine layer. nuff said.
Also, it might be good as tag seeker, since the current tag seeker is just another version of fireball.

Actually, the fireball uses the tag model. Though this would make a kick-ass looking tag seeker, just need to make the front of those barrels look like missile batteries.
RE: new gun model: electro - unfa - 10-07-2010
As for me - this model looks nice for electro. Just one of the barrels should be thinner if suposd to shoot electricity beam
. It doesn't have to be thinner on the outside, becuse shooting electricity (or maybe just electrons) might require some massive electromagnets that could be located aroud the thin barrel makng it thick.Nice work, theShadow
Would you eventually drop in some wireframe shots also?

What beam?
RE: new gun model: electro - jaykay - 10-07-2010
the electro fires a lighting, and a blue, transparent, glowing and exploding ball. this weapon model like little more than a grenade launcher. the only energetic thing of this model is the small white part.
i would try not-so-standard-barrels and adding more bling and more energy to this model.
RE: new gun model: electro - theShadow - 10-07-2010
I believe lee is saying that in HIS balance, he got rid of the lightning beam.
and yes, when I made the gun, I was thinking of those 4 things around the barrel as some sort of electromagnetic focusing array. (which imo would work for a beam OR a projectile)
and I think i can make one barrel bigger than the other. that might actually make it look better...
also, I am thinking of adding some kind of shoulder pad. what do you think?
RE: new gun model: electro - jaykay - 10-07-2010
if you change a barrel and make these 4 things look like a electromagnetic focusing array, i'm fine with the model (although you need only two capacitor plates to focus an electron ray
)
RE: new gun model: electro - Dokujisan - 10-07-2010
Nerd alert!
:-)
RE: new gun model: electro - theShadow - 10-07-2010
but if you had 4, wouldn't you gain more directional control of the beam? eh? eh?
also, I know some other bits I can make glowy. glowy bits make everything better.
RE: new gun model: electro - rainerzufalldererste - 10-07-2010
nice model!
(but I also love the current!)
RE: new gun model: electro - theShadow - 10-07-2010
v2
RE: new gun model: electro - rainerzufalldererste - 10-07-2010
...and it would be nice to have this model animated!
RE: new gun model: electro - theShadow - 10-07-2010
if weapon animations ever become possible, I will try and make every weapon have some kind of animation.
although, what kind of animation do you have in mind for this model?
RE: new gun model: electro - nowego4 - 10-07-2010
The body looks awesome now, but not to sure about having the big barrel on top.
Looks like a cartoon shotgun or something.
