w00t! My first post here. Seeing as HLP is out, i´m doing the rounds on the border worlds.
But instead of writing a whole new post, i´ll just copy it from SG instead. Lazy, i know. ;)

So basically, i´m considering taking this FPS thing seriouslly, and i´ve started dabbling with the weapons, while i wait for my new copy of UT2K4 to...uh... *cough*"arrive".
So, without further a due, i give you my very first all time weapon model. Still a bit crude, but i´m getting there.

Here´s the deal. I watched "Hallfight" carefully, and there are only 2 weapons in it. One that looks like a minigun, and another that looks like some plasma thrower or something. Both are wielded under-hand, wich means the weapon is holded beneath the arm, not over the arm, wich makes it a problem to render HUD wise.
I can model the minigun, no prob. But the other one is kinda ugly to be honest, and the under-hand thing isn´t helping.
Is there any other FS weapon pictures out there, in cutscenes or anything? I need them to base he models on.
Also, the most important ones would be vasudan weapons, but i´m not aware of any instances at all where vasudan weapons make an appearence. If anyone has seen one somewhere, could you please point me to it?
Infact, the second terran gun seen in Hallfight could very well fit the vasudans, as it is very non-terran in design. Maybe the vasudans gave a shipment of smallarms to the terrans, after they made peace and started to fight the shivs, uh?

Anyway, give me some feedback on what you think.

Hey man,

I've been working on a Freespace FPS for about a month now and GW is hosting it for me. Its called Freespace: Hegemonia, if you like we can join forces instead of having two seperate ones. Would also speed production time up.

As for your screenies - me likes! :biggrin1:

The weapons the Hallfighters use are ML-16 shaped.
