Energy Weapons Pack WIP

[TheBigRed1]

Hello,

 

I'm new to these forums because I wanted to begin work on a mod project involving energy weapons. This pack will include many new laser, plasma, and other energy weapons, each with special pros and cons. I would also like to work my way up to giving them each unique models, and textures.

 

The point of such a mod is to give Energy Weapons the same diversity of small arms weapons. This includes things such as Energy Sub-Machine guns, Sniper Rifles, Automatic Rifles, Magnum esque energy pistols, and maybe some Big Weapons like Energy Cannon type weaponry. At this point I am at the early stages of development and already have a Sniper Rifle in progress. (Though I don't have a modeling program on my new computer yet so it is all sound and effects work.)

 

Right now Im just wondering if anyone has thoughts to what they would like to see in such a mod or, if it is even a good idea at all?

 

Any Ideas?

Well, from what I've seen someone has already done the Wattz 2000 Laser Rifle (The original FO and FO2 Laser Rifle) The Winchester P94 Plasma Rifle, (Original Plasma Rifle) and from the looks of it the rest of the modders have dibs on the other original energy weapons. So, if you are making a pack you may want to get some fresh ideas.

But if they have unique models it wouldn't matter, because they would still be an entirely different weapon. So unless I named it exactly the same there should be no conflicts with any other modder's work.

I think it's a good idea... but that's cause I myself am working on something a bit similar! :)

Though, I wasn't making laser submachine guns or energy cannons. I was widening the variety of energy weapons by adding in the weapons seen in Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, and changing the ammo consumption of the normal weapons.

 

Perhaps it might be interesting to make the normal laser rifles automatic but have slightly weaker damage. Or perhaps even fire continuous beams gattling laser style.

 

Of course, actually adding completely NEW weapons would be even better. I think someone already made a laser submachine gun, a "laser PDW" I think it was.

 

Also, could have large Big Gun plasma cannons. The first version of the "classic plasma rifle" mod used a Gatling Laser model (including backpack) with a plasma claw added to the end, could reskin that a bit and it would make a perfect "heavy" plasma weapon.

 

Anyway, I'd be interested in working with you. Would be pointless for us to both make two mods expanding the variety of energy weapons and then find they were incompatible.
