Chaotic Dreams

I want to say I just downloaded ChaoUT2 and I love it, my onle problem is the model for the railgun, looks way too blocky, is there any plans going to make it look better, say like a Quake 2 or Quake 3 rail gun or something completely different, yet better then what we have? Nothing else to change about it.

Its perfect as is

Not saying I don't like it or anything, one thing I remember was the skin used to be yellow and was changed to red, kind of like the Rocket Launcher before the game came out. I even remember a old model shown on the site at one point.

IMHO the ERDW model is very nice , it might benefit from a skin color change , but thats not a major concern here . the odd shape makes it unique from any other weapon that I have

Also , my friend says that the model is VERY simmilar to that used in a certain giant robot anime , yet I have no idea which giant robot anime that may be. is there any truth to this?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you don't like the model.
However, the model not looking like the Q2 or Q3A one was intended. I didn't want to just copy the design, simply because this isn't Quake.

Swift Viper, the yellow/blue texture was dropped, because it looked too much like the lightning gun. Various stages of the creation of the ERDW can be found at my site's gallery.

Hey thats kew, I am just discussing my oppion, lol. I love the weapon, my favorite weapon of the Chaos saga, lol. Also, love to say I am thankful that the turrent was taken out, that was cheesy if you ask me, lol.

The Turret was'nt taken out , iits just not done heh...

It wasnt taken out, the mod isnt complete yet.

woah , deja vu...

Ok, well, that turrent is good in CTF to allow more carnage in the ransacking of the enemy base, and the bots are really stupid to the turrent, i do think its cheesy in regulat DM, guess i should be specific, lol

IMO the current rail is perfect, chunky with a nice industrial look. I especially appreciate the fine wear marks on the finish where the block? blows back. Nice detail.

If only one could carry more ammo:)

Well if you do change the color, chrome might work. Chrome made the weapons in MIB look pretty cool. A scope or targeting scanner would be cool, it would make aiming easier. The rocket launcher over at WoD (something X, don't recall the name at the moment), has a targeting sensor where it pop a crosshair on the screen that locks onto a bot and makes the rockets follow the bot. Kinda like a laser guided missle, or smart rocket.

Chrome is ok , but not covering the whole gun , and only if theres a Really a good chrome texture.

You know , If you hold the crosshair over a player for 4 seconds with the rocket launcher your rockets will lock on...
Also , if you hit primary fire while holding the charge rocket button , your rockets will spin together...

EDIT: oh remember how my friend said that the erdw looked similar to a gun in an anime... well that anime is SHOGUN!!! never seen it tho...

I don't mean all chrome, just where it is red now. The chrome used in the Terminator model over at ut2003files and ut2003hq would work, I think he lists where he got it in the description of the model. Actually a red chrome would look pretty awesome.

Chrome Trimming along next to the red textures would ROCK
