[REQUEST] Adding a flashlight

Post by **Enjay** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 19:15

Anyone able to help me out here? I'd like to add a simple flashlight attachment to a weapon (the Unreal pistol thing).

I've tried my own edit, and it's not bad, but if anyone else fancies a shot at it, please be my guest. I have no particular pre-conceived ideas as to where it should go on the weapon. I avoided the top because my editing skills were not enough and the top of the weapon moves. I also avoided the bottom because everything I tried looked crap. What I ended up doing was putting a resized and re-angled sniper scope from Red Faction onto the side. I'm not convinced it doesn't just look stuck on or that I got the angles right for the firing frames.

Some of the frames are just repeats of each other with different coloured lights on the back of the weapon (the lights flash when the weapon is not actually being fired) - so there are only really the first 3 frames plus an extra with the flashlight switched on that need to be done.

Like I said, if anyone fancies a go...

How about attaching the Doom 2.5 flashlight to it instead (like I did with the blaster flashlight in ww-bni.wad)? I get the feeling that it'd look a little better and more natural.

That was one of the first things I tried. However, my sucky skills made it look terrible. The above, believe it or not, is a much prettier product.

My attempts have not managed to improve on the above. I'm kind of getting used to how it looks now though. I guess no one else fancied a crack at it.
