REJECTED.

Quit using the damn ICD resources!

does that mean i should use duke3d, shadow warrior, doom64, and strife resources?

I was going to post "This Weapon Sucks" until I realized I was the one who coded that pistol.

I don't normally bash n00bs, but trying to pull a fast one on me is laugh-tastic. Not even a word about credit there.

Lord Mattus has a point....if he isn't being serious that is.

I took the time to at least throw some filter settings on that shotgun. Not to mention debating what color I should make it, trying out different things, and finally settling on green before submitting the thing.

if you're going to make a weapon, at least care enough about the weapon so you don't look like a n00b submitting it.

I say you should ban him from this topic, he just dosen't seem to listen to a damn word we say!

Seems a bit unfair....give him a break, atleast this one time so he knows now.

KoF: you can't ban people from topics, asides from ignoring them.

Doomed Soul: This isn't the first time Lord Mattus has done this.

All right, I made this weapon for my doom mod Heavenly Hell, but I thought I should submit it here too.

The Prototype Pistol.
Power level 2-3.
Primary fire uses the fire mode currently selected.
Alt fire changes fire mode. There are 4 primary modes, indicated by the light on the back of the pistol on which one you have selected.

Sprites by Eriance.

one bug i can't fix though is that the alt fire awakens monsters. Any way to fix this?

Too weak. Don't be afraid to give your weapon some power. As a rough guide, 10 cells from a plasma rifle is (5d8)x10 so a 10 cell projectile should be 50d8 minimum.

On the alt-fire: add +NO_ALERT to the weapon and use a dummyalert projectile with A_AlertMonsters on the primary fire.

As for power...well, I agree with TDA that it should be a bit more powerful, but overall this weapon is pretty awesome.

upped damage, bug fixed.

This is perfect! Though personally I'm going to step it up to Power Level 4 - it seems to fit okay there, and this wad needs more level 4's anyway.

Mattus, what I'm saying is that you either need to find resources that haven't been used thousands of times already, learn how to edit the graphics yourself (even if it's just to recolor them), or just stop submitting weapons altogether.

Everybody else: Obviously I can't control your creativity, but if you're looking for good weapon ideas, why not try making level 1 or 5 weapons? Currently the wad has exactly zero of either of these, and as I said before, the wad won't get very far until I've got all the power levels sufficiently filled.

I propose we call the other guy N00b Mattus from now on.

Oh, and that pistol is quite the toy. I loved all the various AltFires it had. (huggles the gun and puts it under his bed)

well, if you're in need of a level 5 weapon...

i'll get to work on the Prototype Pistol's bigger, badder, brother, the Prototype Rifle {which is a BFG}. >=3...
