New Doom Weapons: Skins

[GoldEagle]

I've been looking for replacement skins for the weapons in Doom Legacy. I found none so I decided to make them myself. I made a replacement for the pistol by using the pistol from Halo.

I used it because I am not really artistic on computers, but I will create more of my own work as time progresses.

I gave it a muzzel flash and it's fireing animation looks really good. I'm planning to realease the full weapons if I get good feedback.

What do you think about it? Any suggestions?

its decent.

a lot better than that ugly black WWII looking pistol.

did you change the fire rate? or can you do that...

[Rellik_jmd]

Looks nice.

[rustyslacker]

Not bad!

did you change the fire rate? or can you do that...

Use WhackEd2 to make the duration of the states between "Fire" and "Refire" shorter.

Thank you for the comments. Based on what I know the Rate of Fire is the same. It only has three frames of animation though, but it seems to look quite good like that. I will try to make more frames to make the animation more interesting, like adding ejected brass and better lighting effects. I will also clean up the edges of the texture and get rid of non-pallet colours. I want to show you guys the new muzzle flash and firing animations but I don't know the screenshot hot-key in legacy.

I use #0 most of the time for screenshots.
Drop the console and type: bind 0 screenshot
Press enter
Your set to take a screenshot by pressing 0

You can also add this to your autoexec.cfg :)

You know, I´ve been thinking lately about custom scripted weapons and such and I think I can manage to make an approximation to it... It would use a lot of workarounds and hacks and stuff but maybe I can convince the team to add support to something like that :D.

One day I will create an alias for taking screenshots - one that turns off the hud, weapon sprites and crosshairs, takes the screenshot and returns everything back to normal. Anyone done this before?

[Danimetal]

Only manually :P.

Anyone done this before?

Well, usually I just switch weapons and when the weapon sprite disappears I hit "R".

This is what I use Planko:

//// If you want to make a screenshot easily while in the game
//// Jive tip for screenshots without informations, crosshair and player sprite
alias crosshair_off "crosshair 0"
alias crosshair_on "crosshair 1"
alias bestshots "set_bestshots; sprites_off; wait 1; crosshair_off; wait 3; screenshot; crosshair_on; wait 1; sprites_on; cls;"
alias set_bestshots "bind * bestshots"

bind * bestshots // screenshot without informations

Straight from Jive´s knoledge base.

I have made a full Halo weapon TC that replaces all the DOOM weapons with Halo ones. I made it sometime last year but the link should still be working. Its located in the Wad section at http://wadaholic.tripod.com

You can use some of the ones from there if you want to add to it...
