Well here it is,

By BladeRunner(2019)


Check out the homepage with all the info:
http://au.geocities.com/hardwarweaponskit/index.html


Notice how ALL the weapons are skinned from the real counterparts!

Here's a sneek of the new weapons:

And the other in-game stuff:

I'm hoping that by releasing it to the public, everyone can not only enjoy
the sexy new gfx and realistic (not just playable) weapon specs, but also
so there is a record of my endevours!

Enjoy, you bunch of Soldats!
:D


feel free to use it, but not to claim it as your own work!

Oo they look awsome! And the information on the website is well made and funny :D

Indeed it looks awesome, but could you make a version with outlines around the weapons?

Not bad nice work

looks great but it seems you just shrunk images and smacked on some shade..

Cheers guys!

You know, I just might modify it for you die hard
"why isn't there an outline" fans.
Check the Download site later for the "Outlined Version"

I will hold back my distaste for the outlines,
and provide a "oh well,what the heck" outlined
version!

Thanks for the +ve posts!

-Let me know which Hardwar weapons you
like the most and why! :D

You know what, I shrunk some images and shaded them for the menu,
but it looks great!

:D

But there is more to it than just that.
I didn't try to make 'mario brothers' gun gfx and that's why it looks
so different. You see, I'd rather get realistic versions of these
awesome weapons, than ones that look like poor, mis-proportioned
counterfiets.

But there is more...
The weapons ROF, Ammo Cap and individual bullet damage and how these
all work together, is the MAIN modification. The gun gfx is just eye candy.
-but is sure is sweet!

Play it and enjoy some of the Hardwar action!

If you don't get it after that, then it probably isn't for you anyway.

Why does it look so emboss-ed...

What you mean with the drop shadow?

It's just a black under copy with a 1 by 1 pixel offset.

The weapons dont look all that bad but I dont think it looks good when all weapons have similar shading. All weapons should look different

Well, you see, there is just this one thing... They are that actual colour and shade.
I didn't chose the colours or shades, the manufacturers did. All these weapons have
been translated from the original. The colours and shades have not been altered.

To be really accurate tho, when you go into combat, you camo your weapon anyhow.
So you see, either default apperance, <or> no appearance(camo). But certainly not high
levels of contrast, as this would draw attention to the eye, which attracts lead to
the target(you).

This is designed to be realistic, not "Game-istic". It will cater more to the people
who like things real.

Thanks for the input however!
Have you used the stationary weapon or flamefthrower yet?
Using the flamer always makes me laugh in an evil manner!

Please post your favourite Hardwar Weapons and why!

Wow you need to do something about the Weapons ini can you say overkill its pretty bad when u can spray in one direction and get a multi kill with any weapon in ur mod

Wheee!! now i'm going to claim it! =P

Well you see...
Its like this: When a bullet hits you, you usually die from it.
Especially from military grade weaponry.

Soldat weapons are usually made for having a "nintendo" experience,
where as Hardwar Weapons are made for actually killing the (Please refrain from swearing)s.

If you don't get it, it probably isn't for you anyway!

Bloody marvellous.

nice work i like it

yeah well, this mod lets us enjoy the fast killing of realistic, without the irritating recoil and falldamage!

Recoil=sechs.

I love the recoil, keeps life interesting.

That website is the most fantastic thing ever.

EDIT: Oh, and also, that minigun is perfect.

Cheers for the input guys!

I'm glad I cheered up a texan (who likes chainsaws)!
I agree, the minigun is now an awesome weapon, instead of a stupid
joke... But I still wish you couldn't fly with it. :P

And I'm happy that the website was a good read, I know I had a ton of
laughs writing it!!

Now regards the ludicrus in game "recoil" and the mad idea to put it
into an option called "realistic" mode...

Here is a copy of a post I made about all that:

--------
I have used some of these weapons and others, and from my experience, the recoil is something you either don't even notice, or
can accomodate for before you pull the trigger. The idea that the P-90 ends up pointing to the sky after pulling the trigger is just
plain stupid. Most modern weapons are built to keep on target, even when in full auto! Otherwise full auto would be a waste of time.

There is some in-accuracy when in full atuo, but no weapon I've fired leaves my barrel pointing up to the sky. And even if it did , I would naturally bring it back onto target straight away, just from weapons discipline.

I like the idea of not being able to see the enemy on the map until they are in my line of sight, but the "recoil" feature pisses me off
so much, I don't use "realistic" mode.
--------

But, hey, if you like the idea of star-gazing after brassing up someone, don't
let me stop you!

Wait, wait a minute!...
... ... I think I see Venus!!!...

Thanks again!
:D

oh, yeah...

The
"If you don't get it, then it probably isn't for you anyway"
bit is NOT intended to piss you off, just to state an observed fact.

I have noticed on another forum, that a certain loser (on that forum)
took it all to personal and blogged the page with crap to no end.

Thanks for your overwhelming support! You guys are cool!
Enjoy the Hardwar!

Nah , for me it isn't nice. Even medium.
I absolutly don't like it. No shading, no outlines.
Another modders were BLAMED AS HELL for that.

Well, it looks like we have a non-believer!
That's ok, enjoy the other mods out there!
:)

But before you go, please explain what you mean by:
"Another modders were BLAMED AS HELL for that."

If you mean that others were criticised for doing what I have done,
then shame on the ones who criticised!

People should be allowed to MAKE mods, even if others think they shouldn't have.
Suggestions and questions are always welcome, provided they are just that.
And lastly, to tell someone to change thier own mod (because someone else dosn't
like it) is just plain rude.

I'm sure you would agree with these ideals.
Thanks for your post,
It's too bad you wont be having a Hardwar.

Hey, Not bad. Lol the guns look like they are from an 8 bit game of some sort.

Well, I assure you that they have more than 8-Bit worth of colours.
Enjoy the Hardwar!

I downloaded the mod, I played for a while.

I think all the weapons look great except for the minigun, which seems kinda cartoon-looking. Also, the guns seem to fire a little to fast for my taste.

But, it's an excellent mod, the upgraded G-12 Tactical made me happy.

Cheers for the thumbs up!

The weapon fire rates are realistic to their actual counterparts
(believe it or not) except for the minigun, as the game wont allow
7000 rounds per minute ROF.
Please note that I also only designed it for "normal" play mode.

The minigun is skinned from the real deal, so I'm not sure what you mean...
Are you talking about the menu gfx or the actual in-game gfx?

I mean the menu gfx.

Now that I look at it more, it seems to fit in with the others.

Cool.

Hey have you had a crack a the flamethrower yet?
It is generally overlooked by most people when
checking out this mod, as well as the chainsaw!

Hey man, I just tried it, and its Really good. Surpised me. The weapons are kind of unbalanced, but its fun to fiddle around with. Especially in Realistic Mode!

cheers!

I made the Hardwar Weapons Kit to be difficult and sometimes
unbalanced. Its all about winning against all odds with outclassed
or outgunned weapons! It's all about your skill as a player, not the
weapon you chose. ie the minigun is powerful, but using good
tactics wins over excessive firepower most days!

The intention was to make something that contrasted the "nintendo",
"balanced" versions. Cos when you play with these kinda weapons,
someone's gunna die real quick anyhow!

Well, It's cool that you're enjoying the (cough-cough) "realistic mode"
as I hate it. -but that's ok. So enjoy the UN-realistic smell of victory...

...because someday this Hardwar is gunna end.

Speed beats out weapon choice most of the time for me. A lot more reaction time involved comapaired to aim over time (unles your use a ruger . . .)

It puts a new twist on multiplayer.

Yeah, multiplayer is the reason I made this mod!
People are less accurate than my included bots,
more challenging and usually unpredictable.

Makes it a Hardwar!

errr, okay.

Yeah, I'm not one of those people who take every opportunity to exploit a chance to promote their
own KICK ASS mod like the Hardwar Weapons Kit mod, speaking of which, have you tried it yet?
http://au.geocities.com/hardwarweaponskit/index.html :D

-Have a Hardwar or two, they are on a special introductory price! While stocks last!

I find that the bots are really good, now that they are able to get their hands on these....uhh...super deadly weapons..

Yeah, bots are pretty stupid, no tactics except what the map provides.
So I beefed up their weapon skills etc.
Mustafa is a laugh, with his knife... Altho there has been a few nasty times where he has caught me
reloading!

Ok, here is the latest:
V4.0a Typo fixed.
V4.0b Weapon Flash fixes.
V4.0c New Aus-Cam gostek! Weapon names fixed in "options" for English and Polish Text

Go to the home page to download the latest version!

Latest Update:
V4.0d Weapons.ini (included this time! - oops!) Zombie Bots thrown in as a sweatener!

Cheers!

ok, so I have been a busy little munkey:

HARDWAR:
[IMAGE]
DIE HARDER!!!
Hardwar Weapons Kit V5.5
(with a vengeance?)

Here it is, the FINAL version of the DIE HARDER release!

I have throw the LSW back in, cos EVEN I was missing it, but I had to
sacrifice the Beretta 93-R... :(

I re-ordered the weapons so they are in a more logical sequence
of increasing power/type of weapon.

The LAW rocket now has 2 shot capability with long reload and a
very fast velocity that makes bloody body parts fly real good!

I removed the revert feature, as it was incomplete.

This is now the only Die Harder version available for download.
Hope you guys enjoy it!! please do update your copy![/align]

I dont understand why people make such dinky weapons when they have quite a bit of room to work with, your mod could use some more shading i like the knife and minigun though.

Where is the download?

edit* nm

I am sorry, but i dont like those. They are somehow too plain. Too much the same color. I dont like them . :S . I mean lets throw some gray there and some darkergrey to barret. M4 is too....dunno. But i just dont like. I am sorry.. ;_; .
Minigun is the best. And chainsaw.
;_;
Again i am sorry
But just IMO .

6,7 and 8 looks... golden?

and the minigun looks, 3d'y :)



 Quote:Notice how ALL the weapons are skinned from the real counterparts!


hard to believe that 15 pixels can be defined as real counterparts.

Hey thanks for the feed back!
The minigun is one i spent a lot of time on, i wish there way a way to show the barrels spinning!
The chainsaw is actually a souped up version of the playstation "army of darkness"? controller!!!
The knife is actually based on the real m16 bayonet (it fits our Austeyrs over here) and the colours for it are from memory of the K-Bar knife.

cheers!
