New pistol sprites (WIP)

[Finite]

Been working on a pistol replacement for Doom. Why? Well I never really liked the original, and I think D_D agrees with me on this. ;)

(Sorry about the background, when I made the animated one transparent the frames got messed up.)

Still looks a bit cartoony, but hopefully that's something I can remedy. Planning to add some brass ejecting in the two middle frames. Figured I'd show it to you guys as I don't post here much, and it's perfect for this section of the forum. :)

EDIT: Almost forgot, if you want to try this in game, I've uploaded a WAD here (http://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/~reldridg/pistol.wad).

I find the bulge strange O_o

I've done a Doom pistol replacement before for The People's DooM but it never got used. To my knowledge anyway O_o

Hello there Newdoomers. It's just over the 2 year anniversary of me starting this thread.

Ummm... anyway, I had another crack at the pistol today. Made it pretty much black, as the silver version looked too cartoony in-game. Also, I made my own muzzle-flash (the old one used the original doom one), although the hands are still ripped. Should really make new ones.

Here's the new version:

And animated:

And finally the the wad file. (http://www.ptepid.org/pixel/pistol.wad)

Hrmm... it seems I can't edit my 2 year old post to fix the links. So here are the old versions for comparison:

Hmm...it looks good but you should lessen the recoil a bit. Makes it look sorta weird, like the pistol is trying to jump out of his hand.

Yeah I know that's how it was in the original, but I think it could be improved.

[Finite]

Yeah you're right, the vertical jump is a bit much. :) I'll have to keep that in mind when I redo the hands.

Sweet. Can't wait to see an update. ;)
