Doom3-Plasmagun

(HarryWild) #1

If anyone ever ports that Doom3-Plasmagun into an ET-mod, please let me know :bump:

could be done I think

If the D3 engine still uses the same format, you could move it.
However, D3 is a copyrighted game so you can’t directly use it’s models.

Allso note the plasmagun won’t be totally the same: as far as I know ET hasn’t got support for replacable text on shaders to show the ammo on the gun itself.

It’d probably be a bit hard to produce the vapor effects as well.

remapshader and rendertotexture will do

Hmmm… since it’s copyrighted there won’t be a port. :frowning:
I for myself can’t do it, due to lack of knowledge.

But thanks for your insights!

Greets,

I’m sure it (the effects anyway) wouldn’t be too hard even for you, if you don’t care about what the model looks like.

for example, you can replace the panzer :
look in the function fire_rocket in the file g_missile.c
change the line


bolt->splashRadius = 300;

and lower it to something smaller, say 32

look in the function GetWeaponDamage in the file g_weapon.c
find the line


case WP_PANZERFAUST:
case WP_MORTAR_SET:

and change it to


case WP_PANZERFAUST:
        return 25;                    // or whatever
case WP_MORTAR_SET:

look for


ammotable_t ammoTableMP

in bg_misc.c

scroll down and find the line for the panzer (5th one down, with MOD_PANZERFAUST at the end of the list)
change the start clip, max clip, max ammo, and next shot/fire delay values.( and heat/cool if you want) next shot and fire delay should be lower, like the smgs

it will look/sound like the panzer, but it should fire like the plasma gun.

next steps would be a new model (tough unless you have one already, or know what you’re doing), sounds (just make laser sounds with your mouth in your mic, :P)
and edit the explosion and wall mark shaders to match your vision.

It’s a quick and dirty hack, but it may be a step in the direction you want to go.
