Where can I get a railgun?

[sinyx]

I know its been asked and I've tried looking for it in the forums i just cant find it. It would improve my maps, and rather than just take a rail gun from a wad (which is illegal) I would like to know where I can get one.

zdoom 1.2x had a little railgun example bundled with it, that's where every 'SUPER ORIGINAL RAILGUN' rips from

Weapons don't improve bad map gameplay.

where inside zdoom is it?

you could make one yourself using the DECORATE function A_RailAttack. The almost only thing you'd have to get yourself would be a good sprite for the rifle,you could take the one from skulltag

It's bundled with ZDoom v1.22.
Weapons don't improve bad gameplay? Maybe you're right, but the slow-fire railgun is quite different to the rapid plasma gun.

sinyx, balance out the ammo. A plasma cell does 22.5 damage, a railgun does about 150 damage. Lower the cell max ammo to 35 or 40 and the BFG cells/shot to 5. Also update the cell replenishment amount.

my maps arent laid out badly, they have sniping points that work fine with a shotgun or rocket launcher, but a rail gun would just make the maps more fun. I have had request to have it put in and so I shall give my people what they crave.

I can post the DECORATE coding for my railgun AND custom ammo if you want.
