Grenade Launcher

[Dementium4ever]

Hey guys,
I made a grenade launcher for AC. Here's a small datasheet ;)



If you wanna watch some gameplay, here you go:


Thanks to Viper for this video!

And here's the downloadlink : http://www.akimbo.in/files/index.php?act=view&id=888


Have fun with it :)

EDIT: Now with sound

"6-Chamber System for up to 3 grenades"
Love that part xD

But gj, finally someone made one :)

[Dementium4ever]

Yeah, small joke :D
Thanks you. Aer, do you know how to fix this "flashing" of the GL after the shot?
But I think you can't fix it :(

[Lantry]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I think you can fix it, as I don't remember any flashing on the lemon launcher mod.

[MykeGregory]

Nice!
All AC needs now is lawnmowers. xD

[Viper]

Nice mod! I lol'ed at the 6 chamber-3 grenade thing

[Dementium4ever]

Thanks to all :)
Yeah, I'll take a look on his mod, thanks for this info :D

Edit: Meeh, the lemon launcher had this problem too :(.
So If slow_old_man can't fix it, nobody can fix it ;)

[Brahma]

I love this idea!

[#M|A#Wolf]

I got myself a new grenade model :DD

[Cemer]

This is honestly the best idea for explosive weaponry other than hand nades. SUPER FRAGS TO YOU. OR WILL THEY BE GIBS?

[Viper]

1 point gibs. I checked myself.

[Frogulis]

dayum =)
I'd get it if I was downloading faster than...erm...dialup speed...

[Dementium4ever]

Frogulis: Mhm, how long would it take to download 206 kb? It's really not more :)

And.........I added a sound. Enjoy =)

[Frogulis]

It's not so much the speed that bothers me, it's the fact that any constant use will probably make my connection die and leave me without internet (also, dialup speed is terrible considering that it should be doing usable ADSL speeds.)
Other than that, that's a nice small download. Later tonight :D

[Dementium4ever]

Oh man, I'm sorry for for you :(

EDIT: Well, I updated the position of the GL now, it looks much better :)
Take a look at it :)

Wait... isn't the forums supposed to automatically merge double posts and add a horizontal line in between each?

within a certain time limit, which makes sense so that if you have something pertinent to add to a thread a couple weeks later, it doesn't just append it to your last post.

[Viper]

Why not make that a .ogg? There are a multitude of prgrams that'll let you convert it. .ogg is even smaller in size ;)

Wait... isn't the forums supposed to automatically merge double posts and add a horizontal line in between each?

yes, however it has a check to see if they are in quick sucession.

Gameplay video:



One prob i have so far is the skin of the nade while its flying.

[VenteX]

Another problem: The arm is REALLY skinny compared to when holding other weapons, so it feels a bit odd. Also, it flashes when you shoot. I'm guessing this is just the way AC works, so there's probably not much you can do about it.

And yes, I agree with Lantry. The whole thing could use a slightly better skin, but the model itself is fantastic.

Edit: Thought I'd try my nooby GIMP skills at doing a skin for the grenade. Looks much better in-game than here, and it's intentionally designed/colored a lot like the default hand grenade.



Goes into packages\models\weapons\grenade\static. Sorry for the lack of a screenshot. (It's a bit difficult to take a screenie of a nade that's flying through the air.)

What a ripoff! This tinfoil hat is supposed to shield my head from mind-reading rays!

EDIT: whoops, had the shiny side on the inside instead of the outside. That explains why it wasn't working.

Sorry for the lack of a screenshot. (It's a bit difficult to take a screenie of a nade that's flying through the air.)

1) Shoot grenade launcher
2) Get demo
3) Play demo
4) Type /gamespeed 10
5) Take screenshot

PROFIT!

[Viper]

Can we skip straight to "PROFIT!"?

[Dementium4ever]

Ohmygod, so many posts overnight :D
So, let's start:

1. Sorry for the doublepost, I'll try to fix it
2. @ Viper: Ok, I'll make it .ogg. Thanks for your video, can I embedd it in the first entry of this thread?
3. @ Ventex: Does the arm eve look skinny to you, in the new version? I'll try your skin later today. I haven't got any timee befor :(.

Thanks to everyone who helps me to improve the model. (That's why I love opensource :D)

EDIT: It'sa patcha day ;)

I fixed the most problems: -The seam on the arm is gone now
-The animation is a bit faster
-sound is in .ogg format now (saves 4 kb :D)
-The arm is a bit thicker now

[Gibstick]

Nice! I like how the sound is mono :)

*cough* human sound mod *cough*

I love these random references :D

*BOOM* says Vipers 14 your old voice.

[titiPT]

Well from the vid it looks pretty consistent.

[Dementium4ever]

Try to download it :)
Looks much better in real-time...

[Lantry]

I especially like firing multiple nades in a row. I'm surprised you didn't do that in your vid, viper.

[Viper]

Well, I realized that later Lantry. XD
