EDIT:
[IMAGE]

Tadaaaaa, have some random interface graphics. This version of the mod includes EVERYTHING I have done for it (except the Gauss Flayer). I can't remember what is missing, Deathspinner weapon-gfx and some sfx I think. Test drive what I have already made please. Also includes a weapons.ini file with a few changes to the guns, I can't promise weapon balance, I want you guys to help me with that! :)

Download the full mod. Extract to /soldat, it will put the mod in /mods/40k, and will put Soldat 40k.bat in the main directory, which you can run the mod with.

Whoops. Once you've installed the mod, go to soldat/mods/40k/weapons.ini and change the M79 bullet type to 4. I forgot about the buggy Plasmagun :Q


I made you all a quick present as I fancied a change from working on Eldar and IG guns X_x

[IMAGE]

Replaces the Ruger. Install to /soldat, and then change the Ruger entry in txt/weaponnames.txt to 'Gauss Flayer'. This will overwrite the Eldar Long Rifle if you install it onto the other soldat weapons, if you didn't realise :x

Download.


As promised, an information writeup:

This mod is an Imperial Guard and Eldar weapon replacement set. Once all weapons are finished and released (following the release of Soldat 1.2.2 with its officially revealed modding features), my intentions are possibly to work on an Eldar Guardian gostek set, or release either more Imperial or Eldar weapons. I might release some weapons for another race (Necrons are a possibility, but we'll have to wait and see guys :] I have to admit, doing Necron gostek would be fun...), but it depends how enthusiastic I am for the mod when I have finished what I have started. Anyway, I hope to release the following guns as my first complete package:

Dual Shuriken Pistols [Eldar](replacement for Desert Eagles)
Shuriken Catapult [Eldar] (replacement for MP5)
Autogun [IG] (replacement for Ak74)
Lasgun [IG] (replacement for Steyr Aug)
Combat Shotgun [IG] (replacement for Spas-12)
Eldar Long Rifle [Eldar] (replacement for Ruger)
Plasmagun [IG] (replacement for M79)
Reaper Launcher [Eldar] (replacement for Barret)
Hellgun [IG] (replacement for FN Minimi)
Deathspinner [Eldar] (replacement for Minigun)

Laspistol [IG] (replacement for Socom)
Powersword [Eldar] (replacement for Knife)
Chainsword [IG] (replacement for Chainsaw)
Missile Launcher [Eldar] (replacement for LAW)

2-Shuriken Catapult
3-M40 Autogun
4-MK 4 Lasgun
5-Combat Shotgun
6-Long Rifle
7-Grenade Launcher? Plasma Cannon?
8-Lascannon? Sniper rifle? Gauss Flayer?
9-Mk 2 Hellgun.
0-Autocannon? Eldar Scattergun?

1-Laspistol
2-Combat Knife?
3-Chainsword
4-Missile Launcher? Rokkit Launcha?

's a plasma Gun. So hurrah for burny luminescent Plasma Spewing contraption!

Oh, and what exactly IS a helllgun? I know the rest, but i collect space Marines, so i don't know what it Actually does.

A Hellgun is the gun used by Imperial Guard Stormtroopers. Its kinda like an assault rifle Lasgun. It connects to a big ammo pack carried on the back of the 'trooper (Course, I can't draw this for the mod...).

I didn't include the Hellgun because, I have finished the graphics for it, but I haven't ripped any sounds for it yet. Although I'm really proud of the graphics for the Plasmagun (see sig), I'm kinda encountering problems with the ideas for the mod and I might need to shuffle weapon order around before I release it. Maybe put the the Eldar Long Rifle as number 8 and Plasmagun as number 6.

Deleted User
July 11, 2005, 8:13 pm
well, either way, ill look forward to it. :D

wunderbear
July 11, 2005, 8:39 pm
Plasmagun would be best as a grenade launcher. Ruger isn't powerful enough. You could have a blue "blob" of plasms!

And the Long Rifle doesn't look formidable enough for a barrett. (not your drawing, that's great. It's just that it looks a bir weedy. A Gauss Flayer would be better, unless it's just IG and Eldar.)

DON'T LOSE THE HELLGUN!! It looks BRILLIANT!!(or do you just mean from the demo? Then that's okay.)

Are you stickign to just IG and eldar?

Why not just deepen the Lasgun noise for the Hellgun?

By the way, thanks for the postive comments everyone :)

mwuahahaha!!! The Hellgun is brilliant! The standard of this mod is good. Only two niggles i have:

1. The autogun. In the menu, it looks fantastic (just like a normal one), but ingame, it tends to look like a bit thin. This is probably just me, but it could do with a tad of fattening up. (Unless the menu pic and the ingame pic are the same. THen it's probably just me.)

[IMAGE]

See? Thin! ...Well, it looks thin ingame.

2. THe chainsword. It's probably just a constraint on the chainsaw's part, but the chainsword looks like it's being held like a staff or a pike. But i guess that's just the wasy the chainsaw works.

Those two niggles don't effect me really. The Mod in itself is great. Good Job!

*Turns blue man into globs of gore with thundering Hellgun*

Haha, thanks. I didn't think it was that good, but if you say so...:) I'm still not happy with the Hellgun interface graphic, I've tweaked it a lot and it still looks flat and boring to me. I think I will try remaking it and see what you people think.

As for your niggles, the autogun looking thin, I can fix that with the next patch I release. I'll write it down on a list of things to do, thanks for the critical advice :D as for the chainsword, I can't really edit how it is held, you'll have to survive with the way it is I'm afraid :( I would like it to be upright and have the soldier swing it to decapitate his enemies, but it can't be done...

Actually, i think it's just Eldar and Imperial Gaurd. Which is quite good: a gauss flayer would be good though.

And the sound would be really easy: just get a microphone and a piece of card:

I would say that for the G/L weapon slot it should be a plasma cannon, and then the #0 slot should be a assault cannon (tau). And the R/L be a crak missle launcher. But that's just me, awesome mod by the way.

-edit- And what about some dark eldar stuff?(splinter pistol or splinter rifle for #8 slot)

I made this litle ol' map. It fits in the mod and you can include it when the mode is finnished, if you want to.

It's a no-mans land, based on the sketches and concept art of Warhammer 40k battlefields. Normal CTF, though I can reverse it so it would be more like strategy point capture thing like in the PC game. Still needs bot waypoints.

Deleted User
August 6, 2005, 12:47 am
Yes yes. Give me a few days, see if I can cook something new up for you :)

I was wondering if you guys could do me a favour...since 1.3 is out, the best modding feature can finally be discussed - weapons editor! This will FINALLY allow me to release the Plasmagun, because the gun is meant to have 10 ammo and wouldn't make sense without >_<. Anyway, I don't really know where to begin with the guns I've already made when it comes to editing their values...I know for sure that the Autogun should have 12 ammo and, therefore, should be powerful but fire slow. The Lasgun should have a high ammo clip and fire fast but quite weak. If you guys could try out some settings and get them balance with the normal soldat guns, I'd really appreciate it. You'd get full credit for helping with the mod, obviously.

We could get a server running and play some deathmatch and tweak the weapons as we play, using the /loadwep command (reloads the weapons.ini file).

wunderbear
August 6, 2005, 4:56 pm
interesting ideas, Stalky. Now i'm not too sure on IG or Eldar weaponry (I'm a Space Marine person myself), what you posted sounds right.

Hmm. However, i have no idea how the values in the Weapon Editor work (I only just found out aboot it when i read your post), so more experienced modders could help with this.

But i'm glad it's back. :D

Three things:

Deathspinner: it's a minigun sound. Eh? I'm sure there are suitable sound files in DoW.

PLasmaGun: Wierd. No grenade, a long charge up time, and absolutely NO effect on people. It would be better as a sort of grenade launcher.

Rocket Launcher: Eh? There isn't one. Not finished, yet. (The knife doesn't matter that much)

Just saying. Looks good.
