Scuba Steve Posted September 17, 2004 Thank god, the old Chaingun is awful. Only problem is Freedoom doesn't want replacement entries, just new ones. Also the muzzle Flash needs alot of work. 0 Share this post Link to post

Existing resources should only be replaced if lots of people seem to dislike them or there is some other problem with them And who likes the old chaingun? :P Yeah, I really need to remake the muzzleflash, i've only put it together in 2 minutes (and I put the entire chaingun together in under 20 minutes) 0 Share this post Link to post
Rellik Posted September 19, 2004 If you can please make another version of that that is centered, I get a lot of complaints about the non-centered weapons in FreeDM. :) Nice stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted September 19, 2004 Centered chaingun! Just for you rellik! http://www.fragfiles.org/~cheapy/centchgn.zip Oh, and I tried to make a better muzzleflash too 0 Share this post Link to post
Rellik Posted September 20, 2004 Hey thanks man, I don't suppose I could get you to make another small modification for me? Make the barrels a little smaller? *winks seductively* 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted September 20, 2004 I think the barrels are fine IMO. A 4 barreled chaingun don't need smaller barrels. Thanks all! 0 Share this post Link to post
Jon Posted September 26, 2004 I guess this is going to be a re-occuring thing now, then. If the `feel' of freedoom is to be decided, it isn't worth fighting it being decided now.. Can anyone think of a good reason why deciding these things by DW forum poll is not a good idea? I think this might be the best approach. (hello again all! back from my hols.) 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted September 26, 2004 Let's not make it have a crappy feel then :P Because I really really can't see anyone liking the old chaingun... but if you want to do a poll, go for it. I can assure you mine will win (this is no way of speaking an ego, it's just the old chaingun is really untolerable) :P 0 Share this post Link to post

boris Posted September 26, 2004 Personally I don't think the gun looks that great in-game. Of course it's still better than the current one. I think at some point we have to agree what kind of artwork we want, rendered or hand drawn. Unfortunately both don't mix too well. 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted September 26, 2004 Well, it worked great with Duke3D. Besides, the chaingun is actually BOTH rendered and hand manipulated :P (it doesn't look too much like it's original render) 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted September 26, 2004 This gun feels like another placeholder until someone can make a "real" one. Besides looking like a bunch of cylinders stuck together, it also fails to realize that Doom graphics are stretched vertically, so the sprites have to be squished to compensate. 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted September 26, 2004 Maybe next time, i'll render in 320x200... (I really rendered the chaingun at 320x240, was a big mistake there I suppose) 0 Share this post Link to post

leileilol Posted September 26, 2004 I'll give that a try right now, i'll have to redo the muzzleflashes of course but they won't point upward this time EDIT: Here we go http://www.fragfiles.org/~cheapy/cent2.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted November 5, 2004 Yeah that chaingun is rather old. I was working on a replacement for it a year or two ago. but I had a harddrive crash and I lost it so I said, bah skrew it. Now, if you are to replace the chaingun with another one. Make it a permanent. This one is just like ling said, just 7 cylinders. Also, the muzzle flash need work. 0 Share this post Link to post
