I did compile it previously, but it needed work on tagging and animations.
For people who want to compile it, I think it may be useful to explain my original concept.

• 4 shots / magazine


• Charge fire based - Similar to plasma pistol. ~2 seconds to charge. Projectile explodes to cause a small area of splash damage. Give the detonation of the projectile some force to help disable (turn over) vehicles in motion.
  
  
  
  • Uncharged -> Bullet speed limit + drop (slower and more bullet drop than the warthog bullet?) 1 shot kills on head-shot and chest (if too overpowered, shot on chest could take down shield and health to one bar)
  
  
  • Charged -> Bullet speed = assault rifle bullet (no bullet drop). One shot kills on head and chest, and greater splash area than uncharged.
  
  
  • Over penetration shouldn't be over powered. Adjust to whatever best fits. (I would say maximum, penetrate one layer of metal, and penetrate all organic surfaces. Reflect on hunter shield, and deplete jackle shields.)
  
  
  
  
• On the video, if you look carefully, you can see that there is static sweeping across the sniper screen.


• Make some indicator that the weapon is charging? Sparks going through the barrel area, glowing areas glow brighter, indicator on display, get creative :)


• The concept of the explosion effect in the video was what I had in mind. Feel free to get creative with it. (The firing wasn't very nice :P)

I'm currently away from my off campus house, so I do not have access to my pc. I'll try to release the tags I had for this weapon when I get back.

It may seem too overpowered when compared to a normal sniper. This is like an instant spartan lazor or a rocket at an insanely high speed, even at uncharged. I suggest either making the weapon have only 2 shots / magazine, and keep the damage, or have the shots at 4 and lower the damage.

I'm not a big fan of those animations, even if they look nice (handreloadsucks!!!!!!)

Also are you making sounds for reload ? I could try to make some...

I must say, such a small reticule for such a powerful weapon just looks odd. May I suggest a change? It's crude, but a quick example.

nice job broke :)
its kinda like the crysis 2 gauss.

This would be one hell of a sexy additional to my map, formerly Requiem (name pending). I was going to design an anti-armor sniper rifle, but this fits the bill beautifully if it can be completed.

Also, I feel the 3rd person model (while it's lying on the ground) is way too large.

That's because the FP model is the 3P one :p

I was just today trying to get the provided files into Halo.....but every time i try to add it into sapien....it only crashes program. And in addition to that....there is no debug information that is recorded when sapien crashes...odd. Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks

thats so awesome, keep up the good work!

So I'm thinking of releasing the following list of things (once I get them all nice and organized):

-Reverie project environments
- Glowing trees, mushrooms, particles if I can find.
- Plasma and frag grenade explosion effects

http://youtu.be/czRjwPobcYw - plasma and rocket (frag) effects
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4ujEZgvzLA - Trees

Anything else anyone may be interested in? Post it and i'll see if I still have the tags.

Oh god please the plasma and frag effects

Those human explosions are amazing.

I thought I'd make my own animation set :D
So, this is only a first draft, but here goes.

Needs more... appliance/force (or whatever), when pulling the bolt.

I'm not done,I will be adding more force/springiness/whatever when I edit it, tommorow, not at 2313

in game ready for a little tag editing like meter http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?w11wnt6wo0dmz6s

Its set to private, can't download it :P

Good lord, why in hell did you think it was necessary to make your account, whomever you may be.

Funny you should say that. It has the "file has been set private" message, but I can still download it.

How so? I don't have a mediafire account :P



Because you decided to make another stupid account just to be a pain in the anus, when you could just use your usual account, unless you were that tard that Dennis banned yesterday, in which case you should just leave.



you just made my day, but you might want to just say something in the thread next time.

I have no idea.

Could you upload it somewhere else and give a link?

Here you go. One Gauss Sniper.

Danke :D

Yo dude....you might want to include all of the required tags that go with the Gauss Sniper. Because i am now having to find and fix and even download lot of missing tags that the requires. If you could can you please re-upload the Gauss Sniper with all the required tags?

Thank you

So that we could help him to improve it?

Wait, wait wait.


Was I just releasing something?
And did I call this a project?


Seriously. Take your anal pain somewhere else, not to Brokes thread/ my Youtube page

heres a better one

put this one in weapons http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?d8qtkcddrcootbn then you have to put this one in http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?d8qtkcddrcootbn
overwrite anything
it has to be in this order

Awesome design, really like the way in which you have combined the regular UNSC art style with a slightly more Futuristic one
Edited by Commando N on Dec 3, 2011 at 07:11 AM

Umm...Not sure if you understood my last post about supplying all the necessary tags. Because i still cannot use the Gauss Sniper in Sapien due to the fact that it states that it is missing A LOT of tags. If you are going to post a weapon.....please supply all the necessary tags (even outside of the weapons folder) so that we are not having to re-root all of the missing tags as well as downloading every tags that is required.

Also.....Nice texture. Yes...this Gauss Sniper CAN and SHOULD only be approved by Chuck Norris. Nice.....

Sorry for the bump, but any updates on the progress for the tagging and etc.?

I still can't get the downloads to work since they are missing tags.

A full pack of the gauss sniper. Tell me if theres any errors so I can fix it.

Download Link here.

Have fun!

Including the contrail, firing effects/particles, and projectile?

E: Lol, I momentarily forgot that I already have a half-finished version from Desolation which doesn't satisfy my needs; neither does another self-edited version fully work. Trouble is getting the compass to show, doing all the particles/effects/contrails Broke included, and maybe putting normals---all of which I haven't a clue. Meh, with time...
Edited by Slyr_Bleach on Jan 22, 2012 at 03:10 AM

Nope, sorry. I can't do it also. If I can do it I'll do it.

Holy {Insert profane sear here}.

You, my tasty desrt/breakfast treat, have made epic-llokign stuff.

The only problem I have is that the textures seem out of place with that spartan. Upgrade maybeh?
