Aside from that, sprite looks good. If you need a magazine, use a cylinder that hangs below the gun at an angle. I find the prawn guns usually have those on, could be the battery.


Thanks for the comments. Perhaps that cylinder on top of the stock is the magazine/battery - I dunno. I based on this here image, so draw what conclusions you will.

Fook yeah! :grin:

EDIT: Right, I'm in a pickle.

The weapon in the middle is the Tesla Rifle, probably the vanilla weapon of the Prawns, and I have abosltely no idea how to sprite it. I can't find a decent reference image or it at all. Anyone help?

I love you. You may have any possesion from my house as a gift. :P

Edit: New sprites! An alternate Arc Cannon, the Tesla Rifle, and magazines for both. Sonic Boom Gun next. :D

Aplologies for double posting, but I felt this topic needed bumping up, as I'm reluctant to let a topic with so much potential slide away.

First, I feel like a one-man army here. Is anyone doing anything else for this mod? Anyone coding, spriting, what have you?

Secondly, I have finished the sprites for Sonic Boom Gun and it's magazine, though I don't think it's my best work. :???: In addition, I also have updated the other guns with new colours, so I'm including them all in one big .zip file.

Eh, well most people make mods by themselves. Don't get too broken up about it.

I've managed to get a basic blueprint going for the tesla rifle, but I've no idea how to boost the damage or add the smoke trails to the tracers.

Look at the vanilla rocket launcher code, the rocket is an AEmitter which might help you with the smoke.

I thought the Heavy Sniper Rifle would be of a bit more help with smoking tracers?

Same thing, they're both AEmitters.

Your sprites are too thin. Don't be afraid to make them slightly bulkier; more detail on a slightly off-scale sprite looks better than less on a tiny one.

I think that's the Sharpness value in the Magazine part of the coding. Just turn that up until the desired level of meat-mulching is reached.

Thanks for the advice. :grin:

Edit: Will this do?
