Make the beam rings mdl's too, so they align to the direction of the shot
Otherwise pretty neat _________________ Look out for Twigboy |

I dunno, I was going for an authentic Unreal / Unreal Tournament feel, and those aren't exactly rapid fire weapons. Also, you don't want it to be too fast, otherwise you'll be able to nerf yourself with your own combo. I'll look into it though and see what can be done.

How about I just change the sprite to be oriented instead of vp_parallel? The sprite is a really nice looking one and I'd need a modeller with skinning skills to really do it proper justice AND make it look good.
I'm still working on it, but the standalone update is very close to being ready. All I need to do is find / make a nice demostration map for it. _________________ "Roboto suggests Plasma Bazooka." |

I just noticed, the slowness came from the ball fire is not automatic... I have to press the button in repeat. If I tap it fast, then it's firing faster and then I managed to get it explode as near as in Unreal. And then I noticed the beam fire mode was some 3 seconds faster with 15 shots in this mod... maybe I setup it wrong, since it didn't autofire... _________________ zbang! |

iirc, Unreal/UT uses sprites with proper orientation, rather than models. So not going with models is staying truer to the weapon. |

..I say as scar3crow does... Unreal tech uses a sprite, be true to the sprite... ..Just make the orientation vp_parallel.. Then people like me that use Darkplaces can re-skin the sprite anyway we wish and pretty as we please!  |

Oh bother. I think I am going to have to use a model. For some odd reason the sprite disappears when I shoot it upwards and downwards...
