Chainsaw!!!

[acgdy]

I like the Impact Hammer, but I WANT a Chainsaw. :D

So, I have taken the responsibility of putting it out there for both PC and PS3 users to enjoy. I've gotten very serious about this project and it's the center of my attention right now.

Below you can find out the general info. (Talk about an epic post. :p)

Updates & Log of changes made:

(02/21/08) Chainsaw model completed.
(03/14/08) Maya stopped opening.
(03/15/08) 3DMAX 8 downloading.
(03/15/08) 3DMAX acquired.
(03/23/08) Chainsaw acquired!
(03/23/08) Housing and blade separated.
(03/23/08) Handle bars separated and edited.

To do:

Edit housing of Chainsaw. (Currently in this step!)
Add textures. (In 2 or 3 days.)
Code weapon.
Test out Chainsaw.
Submit to Beta Release for Beta Testing!
Submit to Full Release when finally successful!

Chainsaw features & details:

WeaponFire: The Chainsaw will be held up in the air for a short moment (2-3 sec.) then grind down and shake viciously, tearing your opponent into bits of gore.

I'm planning on the GoW style. ;)

WeaponAltFire: I'm considering to make the alternative fire, torture and cut the opponent with a soft pushing action. (Where you can keeping cutting your enemy, pushing them back, but the damage is much more reduced than the primary. Refer to the quote below.)

"When the trigger is held down, the chain covered blade will rev up. Drive this blade into opponents to inflict massive damage."

Much like the 1st Unreal Tournament.

Textures: I still haven't finished texturing the whole weapon. I will post pics when I get to it though.

Purpose: The Chainsaw has been a fan favorite weapon for decades. It will replace the Impact Hammer, but it will have the same effects. Most people would also agree that the Chainsaw will be much more gruesome and way more FUN. :D

Coding: I haven't put much thought into the coding because i'm hoping an UnrealScript expert will offer to help. So far, no takers. PM me (http://forums.epicgames.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=1308724) if you would like to help with the coding.

Your thoughts about the Chainsaw?

[Green_Day_584]

sounds like a great idea :)

i remember the chainsaw mutator on UT 99... good old days :cool:

[acgdy]

sounds like a great idea :)

Thanks, I was just throwing it out there because I want a Chainsaw and was wondering if anyone was willing to make it. :D

Of course for both PC and PS3.

[Devious_DJ]

I try. :p

I just got a trialof 3DMAX. This should be a good project.

[Sprint]

Please please please please.

[Talyboy]

I don't get why a PC owner can't just use the code from Gears to recreate its weapons, maps, etc. It's technically logical seeing as the games both use the same engine. I'm eager to see someone use Gears' code to recreate the entire game as a UT3 mod. The only reason someone would go through all that trouble, though, is if they were that generous to PS3 owners. Where are those people in the world?

[Devious_DJ]

^^^^lmao spend month after month so ps3 ppl are happy...mr. rogers isnt even that nice

[Talyboy]

Fred Rogers is dead. Nice one there slick.

[Devious_DJ]

^^^why'd u have to remind me =*( lol

[Talyboy]

Lol, I bet Mr.Rogers would recreate Gears for PS3 owners if he could. Honestly though, I don't really expect someone to go through months of trouble to recreate Gears. But that first bit I mentioned about the weapons and maps would be pretty cool. Imagine the torque bow in UT3.

[Devious_DJ]

oh hell yeah i can see it now...xplosions everywhere.....n chainsawing barktooths head off...lovely just lovely =)

How about because there is no public code for Gears for people to use? The code also does work differently as it happens, Gears content was written largely seperately from UT3 and took a fairly different approach to a few things.

IIRC, Epic have stated that they don't approve of Gears content being ported into UT.

Unless, someone takes the ini. and model of the Chainsaw and gives it to me. :D

Well, I take it back. It doesn't HAVE to be Gear's Chainsaw. Just a Chainsaw please.

CMON PEOPLE!!!! Is anyone actually gonna make a chainsaw for PS3 instead of just talking on and on and on about it?????????

Sadly, that's pretty much all that happens in the request portion of these forums. People request, a couple people say it's a good idea, and then the topic dies...

It makes sense though. A lot of people who make maps and mods shouldn't and don't want to go out of their way to make something because one person wants it, especially if the maker doesn't want it.

[RUKKUS]

yea the chainsaw bayonette thing from gears is ill, i second this.

[acgdy]

CMON PEOPLE!!!! Is anyone actually gonna make a chainsaw for PS3 instead of just talking on and on and on about it?????????

I'll start designing a Chainsaw tomorrow. :)

[ShadeMistress]

I'm going to make my own saw design after I get my flamethrower up and running.

Won't be a chainsaw though, I'm more devious than that. :D

[xFirexIcex]

God, a chainsaw mutator would be so awesome. It should replace the impact hammer. I could just imagine a chainsaw only match where people are running around beheading their enemy's as grusomely as possible.

Muhahahahahaahaaa!!!!!!!!!:D

Good luck on making the chainsaw. I look forward to playing with it.

[acgdy]

The designing is going OK, and i'm getting Maya instead. :)

It will be a classic yellow, gas-powered Chainsaw.

I will release pics, maybe some sketches? :D

[xFirexIcex]

Great news, looking forward to the sketches/screens. It's good to see that you're keeping us all updated on how the production's coming.

[acgdy]

GREAT NEWS!

While designing MY version of the Chainsaw, I stumbled upon this lifechanging site! :eek:

Behold, Chainsaw model completed. All I need to do is add textures. :D

http://www.3dcadbrowser.com/preview.aspx?ModelCode=8107

[xFirexIcex]

w00t w00t! Chainsaw looks nice.

[acgdy]

w00t w00t! Chainsaw looks nice.

HELLSZ YEAAAA!111!!!

It does.

I'm SO glad I went the lazy way. :p

[Canadianhebrew]

dude i cant wait for the chainsaw, wow thats gonne be amazing~!


EDIT: btw your chainsaw looks pretty kickass!

[Komodo]

w00t w00t! Chainsaw looks nice.

No....We did NOT own the other team. wOOt=We Owned the Other Team XD

Hey guys I say that INSTEAD of calling it a "Chainsaw" we call it the most masculant word EVER created....Ladies and Gentlemen....I give you......."HAMMERFEST"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[acgdy]

The Chainsaw is still going to be called "Chainsaw" and the Chainsaw model is a public file. :p

[RUKKUS]

oh man a new chainsaw? its about to be live. dont forget blood!

[acgdy]

oh man a new chainsaw? its about to be live. dont forget blood!

I won't! :p

[Tempermentalist]

swee!...i cant wait to see this thing in action....thanks for working on it...its gonna be beast

[Rhianu]

Haha, neat! :)

Now if someone can just figure out how to get the Portal Gun (http://orange.half-life2.com/portal.html) into UT3, that would be awesome! :cool:

[zcata2008]

great. i just love it
you need 3D model of a blood soaked chainsaw?
how many frames it will have ?

[MEX !,,!]

great. i just love it

blood is made with textures, not anotha model

[xFirexIcex]

So, how's the chainsaw comin along? Almost finished? BTW I'll beta test it if you ever cook it for the PS3.

but seriously...hook me up... we cool right?

I want to inform everyone that I am currently putting textures and colors on the Chainsaw. :D

Progress: 10%

[Aidan205]

Thank you very much for working on this i can't wait to have a go at this when it's out and cooked for ps3. And i am also happy to beta test if u cook for ps3

Aight thanls

[Komodo]

Omg!!!!! Can I Test It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Want To Test It For Ps3 Sooooooooooo Bad!

[acgdy]

I haven't even made for the PC yet. :p

[RUKKUS]

dont you have to make it for PC then PS3?

Not sure, I think the Jetpack mutator has a custom model and that works for PS3

[acgdy]

xFirexIcex is right. It would work, the code would need to have the vertices and face numbers set though.

[xFirexIcex]

YEAH!!!

Can't wait for this. So when you click circle on PS3 will it switch to it since it's replacing the impact hammer? Or will you have to switch to it using the Next weapon button?

[RUKKUS]

dude you have no idea how pumped i am. haha. when you get it done, make a chainsaw only mutator so people have to run around chopping eachother up.

You can alos just use the weapon replacment mutator packaged with the gamr. And I know how you feel. I'm extremely pumped too. I check back on this thread like every 30mins.

^^^^me too cant wait ....cant wait to chainsaw someones head off that is

yea idk i think itd look cool in a server tho if under mutators it was like "CHAINSAW ARENA" rofl. that server would be packed.

yea man this is one of the things i wanted more than anything in this game.. i cant wait to use it with gibalicious XD

EDIT:

Yeah, a CHAINSAW AREA mutator would be nice. So many people would yell "CARNAGE!!!" and join it. And I see you will be testing this mod as well as me. Cant wait

i dont know what dying is its never happened to me. :rolleyes:




but seriously no ill try not to die XD

[Ahura]

Here something else to consider; Rocket Propelled Chainsaw.


Ja, how much sense that will make.

[Aidan205]

Hmmm You seem to running low on ps3 beta testers lol
So excited about this I can't wait!!!

[DeXtmL]

Add an announcement like "Wicked Jigsaw!" :)

[Catalase]

WeaponFire: The Chainsaw will be held up in the air for a short moment (2-3 sec.) then grind down and shake viciously, tearing your opponent into bits of gore.

WeaponAltFire: I'm considering whether to make the alternative fire like the primary fire with the exception of cutting at a different angle or a soft pushing action. (Where you can keeping cutting your enemy, pushing them back, but the damage is reduced.)

Imho, you should make it like the old chainsaw mutator that shipped with the original UT. It's a nice callback and alot of people will already be familiar with it.

Primary fire revs up the blade and thrusts it out so you can slice people with it. Secondary fire however, swings the saw diagonally and if correctly aimed, is an instant headshot.

Chainsaw spree suggestions:
- CARNAGE
- EVISCERATOR

Yeah that'd be nice. A diagnol swing for alt fire. Good to hear its coming along. What will you have to do once the texturing's done? I alos like the idea of CARNAGE for the killing spree announcement.
Here are some other suggestions(I don't even know if you can make custom announcements...)
JASON
SLAUGHTER
SHREDDING
GRUESOME
TEARING
THE RIPPER
CRAZY A** MOTHER F**KER
TEETH WHORE
Just some ideas runnin' along...

[The Chimpy]

A couple more chainsaw spree suggestions:

Lumberjack!
Meatylicious!
Blood Monkey!
Abattoir!
Effing Metal!

And a proper question about the chainsaw - How exactly will it fare against vehicles? Will it spin just fast enough to bash hovercraft out of your way or something?

[acgdy]

I don't think I can do custom announcements, but i'm sure the Chainsaw revving and slicing/chopping sounds will be in there. :)

The Diagonal cut and soft slicing were intended in my first post. They're just switched around, and weren't described around the same. It will ALMOST be like the UT99 Chainsaw. :p

In theory, it could be specially designed to be made of diamond-tipped carbide steel and be only a few molecules thick at the cutting edge, allowing it to slice through vehicle armor...
The lack of knockback could be made up for in raw killing power and longer melee range.

[RUKKUS]

i like the lumberjack idea, but remember all weapons have one special reward, i.e. gun slinger, bio hazard, jackhammer, headhunter, blue streak, combo king, flakmaster, shaftmaster, and rocket scientist

so yea after 30 kills (or whatever it is) it should say LUMBERJACK!


oh and i think it should be very useless towards vehicles lol, just like in real life. try taking a tank out with a chainsaw.

[Sprint]

It should only be able to destroy Manta's, Scavengers, Raptors, and maybe the scorpion. It should be insta on the Manta so if you see one coming you just rev up your chainsaw and rip threw it. It would be cool running threw a manta exploding in your face and watching the debris of it fly across the map.

[acgdy]

@About the Chainsaw faring with vehicles

Consider this question: Could an Impact Hammer destroy this vehicle?

Because a Chainsaw would almost be equivalent to the Impact Hammer.

[FlyRice]

Does the PS3 support custom sounds? I thought it didn't...

Patch 1.2 fixed that. :D

[ShadeMistress]

@About the Chainsaw faring with vehicles

Consider this question: Could an Impact Hammer destroy this vehicle?

Because a Chainsaw would almost be equivalent to the Impact Hammer.

I've taken out Mantas very quickly (with a lot of practice) using the Impact Hammer (alt-fire pwns Mantas). It's kinda a kamikaze move and you really need jump boots to do it with any consistency: Someone's chasing you with a manta, find a corner and duck into it, then crouch.... typically the person will think you're just being a newb and try to squish down on you when they come back, so pull out the hammer and charge up the alt-fire while simultaneously double-jumping at the last moment. They crash, hit the wall and you try your damnest to land on top of 'em and as soon as they are close, smack them with the EMP blast, which will typically blow them right out of the vehicle. Sometimes they survive and you may be able to hijack and run them over with their own manta, which will seriously tick them off.

It's by no means easy, but I've been able to do it once or twice in a long match, usually when it really counts. And it really ticks off the person you get with it. :D

Anyways, I like the "Lumberjack!" spree announcement and am looking forward to this mod.

I have a model in the works for something far more sinister-looking than a chainsaw and it's probably in the same class of weapons. Another saw-type weapon, but it looks far more dangerous. It will more than likely have a diamond-tipped carbide blade and really looks as if it would eat through armor, so if you want a companion weapon, I could hand it off to you. But that's your call hehehe....

[Canadianhebrew]

can i beta test as well? ive got a ps3 so i might as well if i can.

[BuSyMan]

Has anyone noticed this model which kinda looks like a neo-chainsaw:

I though that patch was only for PC...:confused:

Mod tools are a part of the PC version. A lot of stuff was fixed for PS3 cooking, including sounds, a few graphics bugs, and I am not sure, but maybe the head fix for character models (I'll have to check on that one).

[FlyRice]

Awesome :). So it supports custom music as well?

It would be cool running threw a manta exploding in your face and watching the debris of it fly across the map.

More likely the debris would smash you as it charged in. Better to sidestep and slice it cross-wise.

S***, I'd say just use that...

[Sprint]

Will there be a revving noise. That way the chainsaw would be dangerous due to the loud noise it emits.

[acgdy]

I don't know how i'll get the "Lumberjack" sound, but I agree with the chainsaw should have a certain title because people will be using it alot. :D

Maybe not "Lumberjack", I like the sound of "Leatherface".
(Chainsaw killer from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.) :)

The Chainsaw will have revving and grinding up sounds.

[Devious_DJ]

this is gonna be BIG!!!!!

[Sprint]

Maybe the alt fire could be an unrevved hit. You would hit the opponent with the chainsaw without it being revved. It could do like 50 damage and maybe make them fall to the ground.

Haha den while der on da ground use primary fire mode and slice them into wee pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:eek:

Here's the model I mentioned Earlier....

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q117/hottingoth/RipsawUT002.jpg

I've been calling it the "Ripsaw" akin to the Ripjack.

The two blades should rotate in opposite directions and should be able to take out armored vehicles.

It's kind of a work-on-hold that I been putting together on the side whenever I need a break from coding tuts/references and Unreal Editor.

[desan476]

Sorry if this idea is repeated (I did not read all replies) but I would design Alt fire of chainsaw to cut the opponents head of like it was in old Unreal Tournament. Of course with anouncer message HEAD SHOT!

third person action

now a chainsaw

[Devious_DJ]

Free Cool Stuff No Duh!!!^^^ Dee Dee Dee

[Sprint]

A chainsaw has nothing in common with PSN...

Neither do maps and mods really. If you could download maps and mods from an in-game browser or from the playstation store (which would be awesome btw), then it would have to do with PSN. However there isn't, so it doesn't.

Just my 2 cents.

[Devious_DJ]

^^^uh man yea it does...bcuz PSN says that they are all for FREE CONTENT and allow us to download it...they dont lock their system up like xlive...it does connect...just not as simple as say downloadable content for rockband

[acgdy]

My PC is being formatted. I'm on my PS3. It'll be 1 or 2 days before I can keep working on the Chainsaw. :eek:

Good news is that i'm about to finish texturing! :D

why .....its a GOOD TOPIC..it deserves waaay more popularity than its getting lol!!! ...n i know what u ment just adding on:)

[acgdy]

I have to install drivers, Maya, ActorX, and Unreal Editor AGAIN. :(

All of that stuff will be installed today for sure.

Then I can resume the Chainsaw! :D

[xFirexIcex]

Nice.......:D

[Sprint]

It's a race! PS3 patch or the Chainsaw... which will come first?

lol, if this guy can make the chainsaw work before 2011 then I guess the saw wins :D

[karmatized]

Dude you forgot a big step,. animate the chainsaw. all weps in game have animations. so get to work. im sure the blades is going to be fun to animate.

[beef1187]

This is a cool idea, looking forward to seeing it ingame.

I wish epic included some hand weapon when you are on the hoveboard. i was thinking of something like a short lightsaber that would kill in one hit, with the ability of getting headshots.

Speaking of that, you should be able to get a headshot with the chainsaw. Brain matter should shoot about and the announcer should say: "Holy sh♀t" ♀=i

[acgdy]

Thanks for waiting so long everyone, but I got this big project, with a side of life. :p

It will take time, not much though.

Animating will be next. :D

[metal_head_boo]

i officially love you! (in a friendly way :p) i noticed only 2 pc beta testers? i would be happy to be one if you need any ;) but i always loved the ut1 chainsaw. lol havnt seen one of these in years

[Bearskopff]

Hey folks. New to the scene. Got UT3 on PS3 about a week ago and loving the modding scene that comes along with it. I would really like to be a beta tester for the chainsaw and anything else you have going! PM me on my PS3. My id is Bearskopff.

I'm online relatively often. Fit as much gaming time as I can around work and the missus>

[xFirexIcex]

Any chance that you will be able to make custom deaths for this weapon? (slicing off an arm or a leg...) and it will have headshots right?

[son1c]

Great idea!

[Sprint]

IMO, headshots would kind of kill it. Imagine going up to a guy, chainsawing him,
and then see him do the headshot animation. It wouldn't look like he was sawwed to death...

[Madmanxan]

man this idea looks sweet as...will it be like a charge up the SPLAT? or charge up and EWWWW, but still same damage as impact hammer?

[Chrisius]

Can't wait for this badboy. Keep workin hard boys!

[acgdy]

Can't wait for this badboy. Keep workin hard MAN!

It's going along fine, I just can't export a custom texture, once I find that out, it's on to animating.

Progress: 25%

[CrazyHand]

really good idea id love to use it, it would be good like after its been used that the blood gets stained on the metal, now all we need is leatherface character parts ( guy from texas chainsaw massacre ) and it would be good if there was a gametype released for this chainsaw only, cuse i hardy get to use my impact hammer also pm me or something when your done and try put it on UT3mod.com

[Dom11221]

cant wait for this, do you have a guess on how long its gonna take

[CrazyHand]

looking forward to this hopefully its released for the PS3 at the same time as PC

[bueatifulraven]

wow, a cahainsaw, crazy modders...........
hopefully no problems on the ps3 side, they said full mod support, but....

[Chrisius]

Nice one. Yeh sorry about that dude, keep workin hard man. :cool: If you need any more beta testers i'm willing to lend my services. But it looks like you've got enough for PS3 already so I know why if not.

[ecortez]

can wait for it

[FlyRice]

[CrazyHand]

ye pics would be good so we could see the extra stuff you added

[xFirexIcex]

I second this...

[CrazyHand]

acgdy where are you man, lol you haven't posted anything new for about two weeks are you still even working on this come on man REPLY!:D

[xFirexIcex]

Yeah I know. Hasn't been any news in here for a while...

[Squishy]

I'm really looking forward to this... Come on, I want some CHAINSAW already!

[Sprint]

Guys, he's doing this out of his own free will. Be patient.

[acgdy]

I'm sorry for keeping you anxious about the Chainsaw, but you will be even more disappointed for what i'm about to tell you. :(

My Maya is being a real b.i.t.c.h. The program won't even open anymore. :mad:
I will however try to get a 3DMAX trial so that I may continue.

Also, the 1st post was updated.

[RUKKUS]

cant wait. whats wrong with maya? maybe its a simple problem i can help with?

[acgdy]

I just got 3DMAX 8. :D

[Metatronstar]

i would like to beta test ala ps3

[CrazyHand]

so .......... how long now lol

[acgdy]

so .......... how long now lol

Depends. If someone unlocks that Chainsaw model again, I can go right to work.

Added Beta Testers to the Beta Testers list.

EDIT: Model acquired!

[acgdy]

New model acquired!

Check 1st page for pics and updates!

[CrazyHand]

yes ! you have nearly pulled it off ,also i just realised that this might not have sound for the ps3 but im not sure i read about the gun ripper and it never had sound for the ps3 , it would also be cool when you kill someone with it you hear something crazy from the guy who says killing spree etc lol

[DisgracedDJRogue]

i believe it can be done, tokyo sewers did it, it would probably be alot of work, if you cant put custom sounds use a fitting stock sound for the ps3 version

[acgdy]

True. Custom sounds WILL be put in.

UPDATE!

I am almost finished redesigning the Chainsaw, by 2 or 3 days, the low-poly version will be ready for texture. :D

Check 1st page for details on what I did today.

[xFirexIcex]

Sounds like it's coming along great.

[neoryu]

Someone should work on a GOW weapon/chainsaw model... even if it can't shoot.

http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/1167/1153839751.jpg

Here (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=38d3101159f4884951cfdb4c9f126c12#) is a model in SketchUp

[Aidan205]

So what your suggesting is someone make the GOW gun even if it can't shoot. So that would make it a chainsaw that looks more like a gun....ok if that's what you want then why not just wait for this mod....it won't shoot but it will do what u wanted...work as a chainsaw...

You'r true.
Once the chainsaw works, someone can do the Assasult Rifle look like GOW's one and saw with the secondary fire.

[Metatronstar]

The ambient sound glitch....i wish more people would take advantage of this for ps3 custom sounds.

[acgdy]

If you guys wanted the Assault Rifle with a Chainsaw Bayonett, go play Gears. :)
I'm making a Chainsaw. JUST A CHAINSAW.

I hope to make more projects in the future. ;)
For now, Chainsaw.


The ambient sound glitch....i wish more people would take advantage of this for ps3 custom sounds.

I know. I'm pretty sure the current PS3 update for UT3 fixed some various sound problems, even custom ones.

[MGS4101]

hey acgdy, i was wondering how long you yhink until this chainsaw is finished. im not trying to rush you im just curious.

[Der_Schreiner]

Chainsaw sounds very good. Brings back even more UT99 memories :)

[CrazyHand]

i wonder if you can get custom deaths lol

[DazJW]

Setting it to gib on a direct hit like the rocket launcher would probably be the easiest way.

I'm sure an individual death would be codeable but I'd imagine it's a fair bit of work.

[R3SP3CT]

will this chainsaw be available for the PS3???

because i was telling my mate that there should be one for UT3, and look what i found!!!!
some one is in the process of making one!!!

but will it be for the PS3 as well????

lol sorry for making you look kinda stupid earlier anyways what do you mean by " i dont know how to beta test "and the files called USERDATA.JAM and if you mean how do i use mods what you do is download the mod which useally is in rar files ,so extract the file using winrar or whatever then look for the folder called PS3 inside that theres another folder then inside that theres another folder then inside that theres USERDATA.JAM so get the USERDATA.JAM and put it in your usb's root directory ( the main part where all the folders are ) beta testing is basically having the thing before its out to see if there are any glitchs or whatever
