so i can release the GTB Surt, which uses a custom Magnetically accellerated pulse weapon (railgun) as a secondary.

If someone could do these 3 types;
 
 Type 1 - Light, rapid fire.  Ideal for anti fighter and anti-cruiser
 Type 2 - Heavy, antimatter shell.  Very powerful, slow refire.  Large shockwave to take out turrets.
 Type 3 - Ultra-rapid fire.  Launches a swarm of smaller shells.

I'm not too bothered on the stats, just so  long as you can get a sort of railgun or original effect.   Bear in mind they are a bit like a cannon

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Why can't you make it yourself, you know how you want it, so just make pcx files for the weapon effects and then some tbl entries.

[Nico]

you know, when you spend all your time doing models, tweaking even more pcx and playing with tbls, that's not exactly what you want to do

still needs balencing

[Sesquipedalian]

Well, why didn't you say so, Aldo?  Weapons fall into the categories of table hacking and PCX file manipulation, ergo they are exactly the sort of modding I am capable of doing.

[Kamikaze]

Any good? Rapid fire thingy - BTW still tweaking and editing.

[Bobboau]

did you try that weapon I made

[Kamikaze]

Yeah, cool lookin' I like that it drains all the energy

took a screen too.

[Bobboau]

it's suposed to be a secondary weapon

Not yet..... I haven't been online (at home) since I posted that.

[TrashMan]

Great looking weapons. Can you make large capship based weapons. I have a few ideas, but I don't know how to make weapons (besides, I'm busy making starship models).
I have the turret models, and a description of how they should work. If I send them to you, could you make them?
Just so you know what you're getting yourself into, I'm planing on making capship weapons like;
- the meson missile launcher
- ion cannon turrets
- gatling lasers (for fighters too)
- prometheus H(capship version of the fighter weapon)
well?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

I made an assault gun. It has a slow rate of fire, but amazing damage, and uses the sound of ther flak cannon from UT. It's ace for taking down cruisers. I also modified the Browning to use the enforcer sound from UT. I'm not going to release it, so hold off with the lawsuit.

In my campaign

[TrashMan]

You still haven't answerd the question.
Besides, I bet my idea of the Ion Cannon (I could change the name a bit) is way different from yours. (It has nothing to do with the C&C Ion cannon)

im betting his idea (TTT) of an ion cannon has something heavily to do with Homeworld... considering hes a TAP bitc.... employee

I might be able to do one or two of those (maybe more) although I won't assure you of anything . Could you send me a better description? (by PM or E-mail, Oh I'm in IRC too at irc.sorcery.net, #nodewar - it's logged so if you post when an operator (ShiNoTenshi) is in there messages will reach me.)

[TrashMan]

I'll do that, as soon as I can. I'm rather busy, but I'll try to speed things up. It would be much easier to send you all you need by E-mail. What is yours? Mine is [email protected]

[Kamikaze]

My e-mail is [email protected] - if that doesn't work tell me in a PM. (it should)

[TrashMan]

Thanks, I'll get on it as soon as I can (I have a difficult exam tomorrow, so I'll probably send it to you within the next 3-4 days)!

I've been doing quite a bit of weapon modding how about this as a primary?
