UfoTubby Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) So this is my first set of changed laser weapons. The pack includes one changed version for carbine, rifle, and heavy scatter, pls. see preview below. I did some more modifications, which I can post later in similar sets if people like more choice. Installation: DL the zip file. Start the Xenonauts launcher, use "Modding Tools" > "InstallNew Mod" to install from the zip. That should be all, in my tests it seemed to work fine. However for now a little warning - I have zero experience in creating modular mods or mods at all for Xenonauts. I looked into the sticky threads and tried to follow the instructions as good as possible, but I dunno if it's all perfect. If there are any problems, pls. let me know.... Edit: Updated to v0.2 Preview: NewLasers_v0_2.zip NewLasers_v0_2.zip Edited September 24, 2014 by UfoTubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordJulian Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Nice touch of subtlety there. Will be waiting for the laser pistol and rifle Just one thing, what is it what you and eisfunke and foggy background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UfoTubby Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 I just wanted no plain white bg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisfunke Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Love them, especially the rifle with the new place for the battery. Now it looks more like an actual an assault rifle Will install them as soon as I play again. Just one thing, what is it what you and eisfunke and foggy background? Well, the background on my pictures is not foggy, it is the same ice landscape that is on the background of my avatar and "Eis" in "Eisfunke" is german for "ice".

Sovereign Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Nicely done, I like the addition of a collapsible stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaianDestiny Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) These look excellent! Great job. You might also want to look into changing the xenopedia picture as well. There's a photoshop file in the vanilla xenopedia folder that has the template for it IIRC.

blackwolf Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 a little nipticking , if i take a closer look to the heavier scatter rifle, the battery, the upper half is really separate to the lower half, almost looking like there were two batteries?. Beyond that, it looks really cool . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UfoTubby Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah, that's from the original. Remember, this started out as relatively small modifications on existing stuff. I guess over time I will change more elements to achieve a certain look. Re xenopedia pics - good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UfoTubby Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Ok, had some time to waste which I decided to spend on the laser weapons mod Basically I completed replacments for all laser weapons in vanilla and slightly modified the first versions I made of carbine, rifle and heavy. There are also xenopedia images included now, following vanilla style as well Older dl removed, the new link will also be added to the OP. Installlation remains the same.

kabill Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I really like these. I'm wondering whether you'd mind if I used some of them in my Extended Armouries mod when I finally have the chance to update it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UfoTubby Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Sure no prob with that, it's all free to use for other modders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Cool, thanks! I'll make sure credits and links are included when it gets done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaianDestiny Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 These look excellent! Are you thinking about doing the other weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UfoTubby Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Maybe I try mag weapons too, but not so soon as I also want to work on tiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisfunke Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Holy... wow. Really beautiful. Love your work. Can't wait for your tiles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwolf Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) ay caramba D:!, dude i literally went out this thread by about what?, three days or something, and now i see this, they look superb man really good work with those babes !. And about your future work...i dont know but i think mags are quite good. I cant wait to see what you got in mind with tiles . edit: got a little problem with the xenopedia images being just plain black..i think this is maybe relationed with the fact they are PNG images instead of JPG images as other ones in the xenopedia. anyone got this or iam the only one?. edit2: i think it was this,because after saving them as jpg they worked again. but still dont know if anyone got this issue.

zolobolo Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Really nice pics, thanks for them! Rifle has a nice Alien kinda theme going on Lasers did really need improvement just like plasma (MAG I find are quite nice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UfoTubby Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thx for the comments, guys Re this: edit: got a little problem with the xenopedia images being just plain black..i think this is maybe relationed with the fact they are PNG images instead of JPG images as other ones in the xenopedia. Hm, they work fine in my game as png, but I can update the upload with jpg versions easily if that's an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwolf Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 i dont think thats necessary, because it looks like im the only one having this issue...and i got it "fixed" by my own. so until anyone point this, is unnecesary you take the time with it, dont worry pal thanks .

zolobolo Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Great images, this is a must have mod Does the sniper rifle require iron sight though? There has been a discussion regarding this on the ballistic weapons part and can't get the bug out since Are you also going to do plasma weapons?

UfoTubby Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Thx I don't plan to do plasma in the next time, I use some of Eisfunke's myself. Maybe at some point I do my own, but can't promise it. For the laser, forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand the iron sight remark, and I' am not aware of the debate you are referring to...this is only a gfx replacement, it should not require anything specific to work in-game (and so far I didn't notice any prob with it). Edit: Ahh, I think I'm getting it now hehe (slow CPU on my side ), you mean purely visually? Well, of course one could do it with or without, didn't think too much about it.

zolobolo Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yes I only meant visually. Since I saw this mod from endersblade I can't help to notice Eisfunke's mod is also nice, just like it if the art theme is consistent Anyhow with the additional weapons, armor and tiles mods the game improves quite a lot so THX again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
