because i want some adivce/critics from the people who actually play zone, this can help me to improve it.

I know up and down visions suck, i have to re-do those if it is ever to enter zone.

Dumdumdidi · #6 10-22-2008, 04:24 PM

It doesnt really look fitting in zone's iricia terrain and even the dark terrains
but a nice gun overall except for the light-ness.

Dante55555 · #7 10-22-2008, 05:00 PM

Awesome!

An xmas tree melee weapon? Very cool!

Liberated · #8 10-22-2008, 05:25 PM

oi! who edit my thread :s

bahamutstevetff · #9 10-22-2008, 06:07 PM

thanks dante

ive been really enjoying this grafikz fing so i went back on paint and made a star saw.

jkool666 · #10 10-22-2008, 06:12 PM

Yeah IXI I like the Xmas tree thing, do you think you could make it darker though? With that shading, just darker greens.

Liberated your gun looks pretty nice to. I'd alter the up/down views a bit though...

i did that one on the big compute so ill put it in next time i get chance

edit let me know if this is okay? or if it needs any more editing? also got rid of old one since its pointless since i think this ones better, but i only slightly darkened it, should i make it even more dark?

"Meh." The outcry of millions.

bahamutstevetff · #14 10-23-2008, 01:01 AM

cracker nades

Liberated · #15 10-23-2008, 08:35 AM

the cracker seems Lowquality, there's alot of pixels in there that are not right, it looks really messy.

for your sabre idea. if it is ment to look like a tree i'd do something about the shape.
decided to give my try at a different gun, this one looks better i think.

not done yet.

Jesper · #16 10-23-2008, 12:29 PM

How you do that animate?

Your obviously attempting to spam the other thread. Its very, very obvious you were lol. I don't see why you aren't serious about entering graphics ;P. Even if you don't want a Zone Staff job, Twinblade and Sniper are nice

What are you talking about? Steven's Tree-sabre looks amazing, as does MiNi's weapons (Although I must agree that the up and down views are bad xD).

why thank you!
yes the up and down views still need fixing.
maybe im going to make a christmas version of a already exisiting weapon too.

Steve, to be honest, i don't think your tree sabre looks alot like a tree. Maybe make it more in this direction?

I really don't think that thing with the Candy Cane trunk is a tree either.

Liberated · #23 10-23-2008, 06:54 PM

it was only a suggestion, and a quick make.
and in this case it's not a trunk but a handle.

and here's a candygun, not finished yet, i like this one more then my other gun.

its a holly leaf, not a tree

Minomato · #26 10-24-2008, 12:49 AM

I want to state that I still don't like the "holly leaf sabre," that IXI made. The shading is a bit strange, and it doesn't look too much like a leaf. (Not to mention, it does look like a wierd tree with the star on the tip.)

The star saw has the appearance of a vaccuum of sorts, the sawblade itself isn't even or symmetrical, and the up/down views show that the handle and motor aren't connected to the saw end. Scale needs to be fixed to fit with the player size, and the hinge where the star blade is connected to the main body of the weapon via the red speckled green pole extending from the 'vaccuum' like feature is off center of the star.

Unless these are rough weapon ideas, I wouldn't say these are ready for game use. I'd say go for the holly sabre, it'd be cleaner, more simplistic, and it only needs a few more changes. Make some more weapon directions for the sabre, so it can be used in ganis and whatnot.

As for Liberated's weapons, the pepperment (white/red striped) theme came out pretty well, although I'd have to say that the first weapon looks like it's draped in a tangled scarf, and.. I dare say.. It kind of resembles the Ghost Rifle when I compare the graphics. But anyway, the second gun looks pretty neat. The projectile you provided with that one can be a "charge" shot for it, while the ranged shot from the Candy Reapers can be salvaged for it's normal attack. Peppermint Rifle, eh? Although, I don't know if people want any MORE plasma-type rifles.

bearing in mind all my stuff was made in the first day og gfxing, it came out well, the star saw was templated from chainsaw, so how can it not fit the the player, although i agree the star saw couldnt be used it, its just me practicing. most people seem to like the holly sabre, it dosent look exactly like a holly leaf, but its a sword so i made it look more like a weapon then a leaf, to be honest i think its a fine weapon as it is.

You copycat -.-

Liberated · #29 10-24-2008, 08:22 AM

why am i a copy cat?
edit:
ahh i see what you're thinking,
no i did not copy you're idea.
I got the idea from the candy cane stuff on my own gun.
Then, i made a rifle, you made a pistol, a big pistol.
Yours shoots whole candy canes, mine doesn't?
if i had said my gun shot candycanes instead of christmas balls i could have called you a copycat as much as you can call me one.

@ Elizabeth:
If you don't want a staff job, nor a twinblad or sniper.
Then wth do you post some half arsed Paint doodle for.

done some tinkerin on my gun:
still got to do up and down views.

we already have a candy cane based xmas weapon, try something a bit new altho the gun does look cool, more xmasy

been messing around with animations, only half decent one i could come up with was this :-

Liberated · #31 10-24-2008, 11:05 AM

Steve this is a contest, IF you would redo someone elses idea better, then it's tough luck for him.
No i did not steal or copy his idea.
+ it's not even the same kind of weapon, he's got pistols i've got a rifle. Don't we also have bluepistol and rifle and stuff.
and: it's done ;D
and a transparent one.

its just the candy stuff, are we tryong to make zone into candyland?

Liberated · #33 10-24-2008, 11:59 AM

well i with christmas i think of candy canes presents and christmas trees.
We could turn the boxes into huge presents, but this challenge is for weapons only if im correct. + it's only for during christmas

bahamutstevetff · #34 10-24-2008, 01:46 PM

ive never really associated candy canes with christmas too much, and we already got the candyreapers. hmm.

Liberated · #35 10-24-2008, 02:05 PM

yh but that's melee

and you gfxed a cracknade yourself.

edit: this is how it COULD look on a player,
switched GFX with that of Streamer to show.

I'm really impressed. If you keep them with the Christmas colors then it should be ok.

Very cool.

bahamutstevetff · #37 10-27-2008, 12:55 PM

well i prefare my first sabre, but using some of your comments, i came up with this -

maybe i am the only one who can see it, but this is why i chose to shape the first one how i did, more like a weapon.

Liberated · #38 10-27-2008, 05:57 PM

it does not HAVE to be animated, PLasma sabre is not animated, carrot isn't, knife isn't muramasa isn't.
The animation makes it a bit too flashy for my taste.
