I've had an improved script for the portal gun sitting around for a while, with some new features including events, functionality, and co-op guns. If you felt like making a better, more Blocko-style model for the guns and a portal model (essentially the same size and shape as a 6x6f circle with a raised, color-modifiable rim) that'd be cool. I can show you everything I've done with it if you want.

If you're looking for weapons to add to your pack, there should definitely be some kind of sniper rifle that causes a large explosion when scoring a headshot. And maybe some kind of sci-fi plasma ball launcher with a low fire rate, low projectile speed, and very large explosion. Definitely have explosions, ok?

I will help you with this if: You can help me script 2 of the weapons I already have here. The 2 weapons I have in mind will give me all the insight I need to complete the rest. Keeping in mind, I know nothing of scripting as it stands, so I will ask questions, and so you will just have to bare with me and have a bit of patience.

As for those suggestions, they won't fit into any of the categories I have now, as the current setup I have is meant to be a bit generic. But once I get a feel for completeing my own weapons and understanding the coding half, I'll likely go into more creative categories as either a seperate release or an expansion or something like that. I really wanna make a Star Wars set, since there aren't hardly any Star Wars weapons in Blockland, unless you count the lego packs which I don't.

I don't know if you have Steam, but if you do you can find me at http://steamcommunity.com/id/theshadowcross/ under the display name Nirvash.

The fact that someone would come to me, to make a "better" model of something that's already existed in the community for years now humbles me, so I'd be happy to give it a try.

Thats pretty amazing, good luck.

Something else I did at request of Legoboss. Currently trying to work out how to make it position properly ingame.



Edit: Also got a spark of inspiration and whipped this up.

Wheatley wanted a portal gun.

[Bushido]

these are fantastic

like the only criticism i have is that they're all too long and not stubby enough to fit the artstyle that blockland has either come into or i actively forced upon it but otherwise they're great

Thank you very much! Means alot from someone who's been modding this game longer than I've even known it existed.

As for the stubbyness... I was inspired to model and work on these weapons long before the stubbyness existed. It's just, I couldn't wrap my head around the programs, and the coding and all of that. I COULD do the stubbyness... But that would just be me trying to replicate other peoples ways. I was inspired by the addons that were prominent around the first 2 years I joined, and whats where my inspiration still sits.

That said, down the line when I know the code part, I might dip a bit in making expansion weapons for other peoples stubby-packs. But I gotta do me first. Get more established.

Lol civilian sniper rifle

portal gun is best one. there's weird triangulation going on and it looks like you're trying to bend the vertices so they merge with the other parts of the guns, but you're bending the faces in the process.

[Gumba Jonny]

i think you should make a chauchat machine gun :)

Hunting rifles are one of the most common things for a gun owner to have

I'm not sure what you mean by this, "weird triangulation". If you could explain it a bit more maybe.

Portal gun looks fantastic.
Keep up the good work. I personally like the defualty/long style you're using. It fits the weapons really well enough to separate them from the other packs.
You're doing a fantastic job of minimalizing the detail, but still keeping it up to an "eye-candy" level.

The criminal category is all about low-tech weaponry. I'm likely going to move the supressed pistol (I call it the Ruger Luger!) in that category somewhere else and make a revolver or something similar to that for it. I know the Sterling L2A3 isn't by any technical means an assault rifle, but in application, it could fill the same role as one on a modern street in the hands of the various "gangster" types. That said, I know people will still complain, but this isn't supposed to be realistic anyway.

Thank you very much!
The defaultish style is the one I like best. I originally wanted to make these for hosting the CityRPG servers with, and making each category a seperate addon, so people could use weapons beyond the old shotgun addon and the default gun and rocket, without having the console spammed or whatever happens in other weapon packs. But at this point it seems the interest has risen beyond that, so, great!
