Right... forgot about that.

Is there a way to quickly cheat to get all weapons equipped?  I had to ubermensch, spawn a bunch of chemicals and do research just to equip the exotic guns. 

Maybe it happens only for a split second.  The game always freezes when I hit the screenshot button before going back to normal.

XFire mode would do that?

Dual ATI R9 270X... sorry

I dunno.  All the screenshots look like Qbert shit pixels all over them.

Corrupted screenshots? How does that even happen?

updated the dl counts, set expiry to infinity (and beyond!), and killed the dead img links.

Might be a good idea for the entire forum to batch change everything and it's more error proof but if it's just mine, I can do it when I get home.

I suppose I should just re-upload the files in zip format...  Kinda my bad.

As it says in the newbie guide you can just rename them to zip files and unpack them.

should work as any other mod as far as I'm aware.

Great news !

All of the imageshack screenshots in the first post seem to be lost.

Please try this and let me know if it's BETTER or WORSE.  Thanks guys.

Using this and Eld's PsiAmp.  I'm using newest Steam version.

I'm crashing when switching from PsiAmp to wrench

Maybe it's due to its size, but I don't think it looks particularly better than the original. The camo texture is the main culprit IMO.

Lol I never played mech warrior but I'm getting a sense of it anyway.

I think I'll shrink it to 80% (from 85%), translate down and tilt up a bit... if that's possible.  When I was playing with 3dstobin, none of those parameters had any effect for some reason.

I have to wonder though, how exactly are you supposed to hold this thing?  Do you hold it like a sub-machine gun or like a rocket launcher?  It's pretty big so I'd think shoulder mounted makes more sense but the original model doesn't confirm this at all.  I'll just stick with matching the original.

Hmmm... something's going on there.  Maybe mine is too close to the reticule.  Wtf though I mean in my modelling program the proportions are identical and I reduced the hand model by 15%.  Maybe the original was also artificially reduced.  Maybe I'll shrink it some more.

Agreed on bmp but didn't this gun always take up the whole screen?

Update 1.1

I thought I was never going to finish the fusion gun but what can I say, I'm tenacious... so it's done now.  I didn't do the texture work in case you didn't figure that out but the source of the work has decided not to credit itself so I'll just say I was lucky enough to employ some fine talent.  I'll also disclose that the model is mine but has been very lightly edited by said "talent" and I've also edited the textures after the fact so everything's a bit of a mishmash.

The gun requires the new patch because the textures are bigger than 256^2.  Theoretically this mod could be compatible with old shock by scaling the textures down below 256 but that would lower the quality enough to make the text illegible.

The gun is still pretty massive when equipped and I've shrunk the hand model just enough to make gameplay reasonable but I firmly believe that it should remain fairly huge because it's a big powerful gun and so it should have big powerful presence.

Please provide feedback as usual because I didn't have the benefit of developing this gun with the community as I did with my other guns.  I "may" or may not be able to fix whatever you find but let me know anyway. 

One more thing.  I've been playing with the gamesys for this gun and I'm going to release a DML soon to modify its behaviour slightly.  It will be an optional download but I recommend it if you want a slightly more realistic experience.

Have fun.

I take it by the silence that the gun is good enough as is?  Guess I'll pack it up for download then

Due to some complications I no longer have the means to finish this gun in a timely manner....so I'm wondering if anyone out there with demonstrated texturing skills would like to take a stab at texturing this gun.  The modelling is finished and may only need minor tweaking if at all so the task at hand would be either to UV map and texture the gun from the 3ds file or to let me UV map the gun and then make textures to fit that mapping.  It's not clear to me which option would be easier for the texturer but I'm willing to help however I can.  Please let me know who would like to help get this gun out to the community.

Please see the screenshot 2 posts above for the work in progress.

I guess I should have stated my plans for the features, etc.  I definately want to light up the fusion cannon so don't worry about that.  The transparent outer cylinder is a cool idea and wouldn't be hard to do at all. 

The comment about the hole in the front...are you saying there should just be a hole were currently there's a small embossed cylinder or is the point to make the hole big and detailed like a focal point?  On an unrelated model I once made hollow cannons and someone pointed out it was a waste of polygons so I'm just checking to see what your idea is for this feature.

By green film-sprocket things I assume you're talking about the green sheath or w/e that's wrapped around the black cylinder front part of the gun?

I want to have an animated info screen on the side, that blue part is supposed to be a transparent window through which you can see a loaded prism, the front part of the gun will be lit, there may be some blinking light details slightly aft of that on the gun body and there's a plate on the other side where the prism goes to indicate that that's where you insert it.  The side visible to the player merely has a window in it to see that it's there.

I was going to wait until this was done to post a picture but based on the development history of this mod it seems that most of my success has been a direct result of user input during the development phase so I'd like to ask for your feedback on the GEOMETRY now before I consider that part done.  Textures will come later and are not the focus right now.  Thanks everyone.
