[227] Unreal HD Weapons (v0.6 Released!)

[Buff Skeleton]

I'd make the heat streaks much, MUCH more subtle, like scaleglow 0.2 or so instead of what looks like 1.0 or even 2.0. That and make the flak chunks themselves look hotter, like they do in UT (which is clearly the effect you're going for). Note the chunks in UT start out nearly white-hot and then fade to their usual metal texture, which I think is mostly due to the ChunkTrail texture but could also be accomplished with an overlay on each individual chunk.

Although, honestly, I'd probably ditch the heat streaks entirely. They don't look even remotely realistic while the other effects have been pretty good.

Yeah, it looks pretty, but really changes the feel of the flak cannon. It's too close to UT

I'm with Waff on this one..

Remind me too much of UT2003/2004.

Brilliant!

[SteadZ]

It looks better than it did before. I personally quite like the heat streaks.

No unfortunately I don't have a bullet tracer effect implimented yet...only the bullet hit effects. And yes this is still going to lag and drop your FPS like hell probably until 227i comes out. =P

Enjoy these screenies of the new stuffs:

[SteadZ]

I'm really liking this, but I don't really see much difference in the automag fire, unless the smoke is new?

[Shivaxi]

Yeah only the hit effects have changed for bullets on Automag, Rifle, and Minigun. plus the added smoke to shell casings =p

[Z-enzyme]

THIS... IS... SPAAAAAAWEEEESSOOOOOMEEEE!!!

[SteadZ]

Spawesome?
What does spawesome mean?
And yes, Shivaxi, I've downloded this again and it's great!!!
(sadly like you said though, the fps drops considerably.)

[Z-enzyme]

Spawsome = Sparta + Awesome.

[Rarsonic]

Looks like something from EXU 2.

Won't you be doing high res. skins for the weapons too?
