lightgemini Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Hi I present you the new Heavy Cannon for exclusive xenonauts use, based on the original XCOM Heavy Cannon. The Little mod comes with the following features: -New weapon image (placeholder actually till I get something better). -New shot sound. - 2 Ammos: HE and AP rounds. -Balanced to be middle ground between small arms and rocket launcher. -Full descriptions and text labels. -Unlimited from the start of game. - 100% awesome. It uses the particle beam set of animations since it resembles closely what a soldier with this weapon would look like. The ammo system may look weird but the other way around was to make different weapons for each diferent ammo. It Works like a rocket launcher with each ammo ítem being 1 single round but with a reload cost of 5TU, to represent it being clip fed, belt fed or whatever. Operating the weapon with a friendly xenonaut being close helps simulate it being reloaded by an assistant gunner. If said friendly xenonaut happens to be so cool to also carry extra rounds for the cannon then you have a nice crew served weapon simulation I plan on making this weapon resercheable after initial alien invasión research, manufacturable , and with unlimited ammo. UPDATE Animations were missing, this update fixes it and adds 2 more types of ammo. This will be last update, this mod has now evolved into am expanding pack of weapons.Any further development will be added to the new pack. https://www.dropbox.com/s/upl7rvgneeyceju/Heavy%20cannon.zip Hope you all enjoy it Edited May 22, 2013 by lightgemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can we have a soldier toss/give ammo to another soldier? Or would carrying extra ammo involve the mule dropping the ammo, moving, and the gunner walking over and picking it back up? Sounds excellent, by the way. Haven't tested it, but I'm very excited.

lightgemini Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 you can only drop and pick up ítems as far as I know. Would be great if you could just transfer ítems from inventory to inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Chris said it was a planned feature but I think it is a pretty low priority one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaxi85 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nice Idea! I really liked the heavy canon back in x-com - but the graphics are not so good yet - they don´t fit into the style of xenonauts. And a heavy bolter belongs to Warhammer, not to this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightgemini Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Oh noes! my secret source of images has been revealed! Agree picture doesnt fit, its just a placeholder till I get my lacking skills to do something that blends better. No idea how long will take though.
