Muzzle Effects and Weapon Models

I noticed multiple (minor) visual errors with some of the weapons:

 

1: Some weapons don’t have a muzzle flash effect: Kinetic Supercharger, Scatter Gun, Phaser, Gravi-Beamer, Eclipse Launcher

 

2: Also, the pictures of some guns do not match the actual model:

    The Pulse Laser has the picture of the Beam Cannon.

    The Beam Cannon has the picture of the pulse Laser.

    The Kinetic Supercharger has a yellow version of the picture of the Pulse Laser and the model of the Coil Mortar.

    The Phase Suppressor has a red version of the picture of the Singularity Cannon and the model of The Ion Emitter.

    The Phaser has a purple, modified version of the picture of the Beam Cannon and the model of the Singularity Cannon.

    The Flux Phaser has a modified version of the picture of the Heavy Blaster and the model of the Singularity Cannon.

    The Destructor’s picture doesn’t match it’s model at all. (Picture looks like some kind of a heavy sentry turret)

    The Mass Driver has the picture of the Shrapnel Cannon and the model of the Coil Mortar.

    The Scatter Gun’s model doesn’t match it’s picture at all. (Picture looks like a missile battery)

    The Eclipse Launcher has a blue version of the picture of the Heavy Blaster and the model of the Ion Emitter.

 

Please fix this :slight_smile:

Although you have identified something that has been bugging me since the first lot of christmas weapons were released, you listed what was wrong completely wrong.

 

All the “standard” weapons (pulse,beam,ion,positron,HB,singularity,RF,plasma,coil,rail,gauss,shrapnel) have their own independent 3D models with evolutions that vary from tier to tier or from Mk1 to Mk4. The “event” weapons (eclipse,phaser,KS,Mass driver, Flux phaser, Scatter gun, Destructor, gravi-beamer, PS) use the models of the standard weapons, although mainly the singularity cannon, Ion emitter and Coil Mortar.

 

The only reason I’ve learnt to deal with this however is simply because I know how much of a pain in the behind creating  a 3D model is, and creating another 9 just because a couple of players complained would just be a waste of resources.

I agree with Nukem. I noticed this long ago, but didn’t want to talk about it because I know this game is lacking resources and stuff, and it isn’t really a huge deal. I’d fix such a problem if my game had more players, since it isn’t a problem actually as long as I have replacements.

I dont have a problem with multiple guns using the same models, it bugs me that the pictures show completely different (although aviable) models. The picture of the Eclipse Launcher for example shows the model of the Heavy Blaster. Why dont use the model of the HB then? I know, this isnt high priority, but it still bugs me :stuck_out_tongue:

I know how it feels, but all you can do is deal with it since devs probably won’t fix it any time soon. :confused:

I hope one of them reads this though :confused:

Well, this is kind of intended, but maybe this will be changed someday. 

necro bump… Would like to see this anyhow… fixed implemented. It truly looks strange.

 

aaand sorry for the bump

This would have been already fixed, since Skula1975 loves to read such bug reports.

However, this isn’t a bug report. It’s a suggestion!

Well, the lack of new weapon models and effects isn’t exactly a bug!

So, if I mistake someone for a woman and it’s really a man, nothing is wrong? xP
