[MUTATOR] Laser Instagib (customizable shock/instagib gun) [ALPHA:TEST]

[legacy-SoSilencer]

I've released an alpha version of my Laser Instagib mutator. Even though it's an alpha don't let that fool you, this is a quality version that can stand up to many final releases. Download instructions and detailed information can be found at the following link.

WOOOTY WOOT

Now get railgun style weapon model to replace that sheildgun model

GUSHER WHERE ARE YOU?

[legacy-SoSilencer]

Yeah a new model is a priority for the next version. I just need a modeller and skinner

I'd do it but I need help with my map first :bulb:

WOW, looks amazing. Reminds me of star trek like beams, and particle effects.

[legacy-DuSt0fF]

w00t for IG playas

gonna try this now

[Smood]

holy shiyt!

THIS MUTATOR IS FOCKING HYPE! The effects are amazing (FAR BETTER THEN THE RETAIL INSTAGIB EFFECTS) and the customization is FOCKING DANGEROUS!

THERE SHOULD BE MUTATOR OWNAGE AWARDS AND THIS SHOULD WIN AT LEAST 5 TIMES JUST FOR BE SO DANGEROUS.

Ok sorry about that. I like instagib and when I saw this I started freaking out. I configured this one beam I call, 'heavy ice', its a white beam with an aqua external glow, and heavy *** particles that only fall down vertically when the beam is shot. FOCKING WICKED!

SoSilencer your the FOCKING MAN, this mut is a FRIGGEN ******!

I can't wait till I play this online and see all the guys playing with custom beams!!! You can really can creative and personalize your laser beam effect, its like your trademark style.


Some suggestions
=============
- Make it unlimited ammo (instagib come on)
- Increase the damage (sometimes a bot shot me when I had armor and I didn't die, I went down to like 40 health)
- This is tough but: Have particle patterns, so the particles fly away in a zig zag, or spiral away (this has potential)


BUT NEVER MIND THAT! THIS MUT IS AWESOME NO MATTER WHAT. THIS ALPHA IS EVEN WICKED! YAHOOOOOO. BEST MUT EVER!

make it also a seperate weapon to replace the LG!

Railgunner@Railgun, what is that? I never heard that term.......what's it suppose to look like?



SoSilencer@The mutator rocks man! Why would you want a new model for this mutator. The default UT2003 guns look awesome!

[legacy-Railgunner]

It works the same as that instagib rifle

as for the screenie...

i can give you all the sprite frames if you want.

I WOULD have givin you the q3a version but i deleted q3a. That one is from Skulltag (UT style mod for DoomII)

[legacy-DuSt0fF]

wow shiznitz, i agree with mr dangerous ***** up there

hehe by coincidence i have the exact same preference for IG beams

wow very nice, i thought it would be pure IG tho, i was a little dissapointed by adrenaline, ammo, shield, etc . . . can you make an option "PURE IG"?

Will there be a zoom type soon?

Thanks for the feedback so far. Glad you guys like it. But since so many of you have mentioned it I should explain how things are planned.

I'm planning several versions of the gun/mutator. One will of course be a true instagib like many of you want. It will feature all the same rules as normal instagib, of course many things will be optional about it (such as shots going through multiple players or stopping at the first).

I may also include an older non-instagib version that does constant damage for as long as the beam is visible (ie the longer you are touching a beam, the more damage you take, and if you walk into a beam that's still visible you also take damage). This one operates on multiple power levels that you can cycle through with the lowest doing little damage but firing fast, the higher versions do more damage and stay visible for slightly longer but also use more ammo and fire more slowly.

Finally there will be a modified form of the version you have now. It's a quasi-instagib in that it isn't truely instagib, simply high damage. There are also some pickups which allow you to get enough health/shield to withstand one or two shots. There will also be a few other tricks I can't share yet, but the general idea of this version would be fast-paced instagib-like action while still keeping some pickup strategy and motivation for more movement around the map.

The last version is mainly part of a slightly larger project that will involve several other weapons and many gametypes and other features. I can't really say anything about that just yet though. What you guys are interested in, the true instagib version, should be included in the next version. Sorry though, I don't know how long it will be (I haven't decided how much I want to include in it yet) so you'll have to wait a little while for it. Shouldn't be TOO long though.

excellent SoSilencer! this will definetly get crazy recognition :up:

[legacy-Gusher]

RailGunner@ I have quake3....so you say that Quake3 has a railgun in it? If so, I will take a look at it to get the idea what it looks like.



SoSilencer@ I like the concept and idea. The last larger project idea sounds rather interesting.

There are some fav weapons I like from other games that I wish to see in UT2003 as a mutator. Below is one of them.......

Flame Thrower from Serious Sam....
