It's almost a wrap, ladies and gentlemen. Part two of Ifeflidaif Ifafafdalfi Ifufifadafi Iflefadoodilydafi Ifafudafi's Plasma Pack is nearing completion. I present to you weapon #3: The Plasma Sprayer (still very, very WIP):
tCQmedxNEP8
Here's some specifics:
Shoots a buttload of small orbs which slowly do damage over time for 4 seconds. The more orbs that are attached, the more damage that is done. 15 projectiles per shot, 25 with charged shot. 2-second delay between shots, 4-second delay after charged shot. Still working on how many shots per battery.
The damage the player takes when firing seems unavoidable, so I'll probably handwave it as some side effect of the weapon's clumsiness. Likewise, since it uses an AOE field, it spawns the blood AOE effect by default, something I can't change without removing the effect entirely (meaning you don't get blood for melees, roadkill, or grenades.) So either I stick with the ridiculous fountains of bodily fluids or get rid of 'em entirely.

Oh shit, the charge particles look fucking awesome. Also, interesting idea, I like the concept.

Quite nice, indeed.

Actually, the charging particles are just my Plasma Pistol effects tinted purple. I'm working on giving it an entirely unique style, like the other weapons, but I'm drawing a blank as to any concepts.

The purple screen effect is due to the projectiles when they damage you, right? I was gonna say it's a bit annoying, but I kept reading and you said the weapon damages you when you shoot. I didn't notice, but I think the uniqueness of the weapon outweighs the cost. Related to the purple screen effect; make it brighten the view like other damage effects rather than darken it.

Keep the blood fountains, say it's melting through the armour plates and skin and causing any fluids it touches to vaporise and spray on contact.

Get him out of my thread please :saddowns:
Also, I forgot to note that the pack will contain some improved versions of the Pack 1 weapons (mostly just minor graphical updates, but the Plasma Beam has a new custom zoom mask.) My hope is to get the Needler revamped with two variations for Part 3, so I'll have the entire set of Covenant weapons redone.

erm, might you be able to make separate folders so I don't have to back up my huge tags folder?

No, they're too integrated with the main files to change in a feasible amount of time. You don't actually have to back up the entire tags folder; just the files which are being replaced. If it's still too annoying, you can always re-reference the files yourself to be in their own specific folders.

I have neither the skill nor the means to model anything at this point, so I'm stuck using the default weapon models. Once the weapons are available, feel free to make your own model for them.

While I've used the static bipeds for testing purposes and minor balancing, I haven't had the opportunity to actually stick these things in a game and make sure they're not too over/underpowered. I also have no sense of proper weapon placement in a map; but if any of you guys want to do that, go ahead.
Almost done; finishing up minor graphical touches, doing general polish-work, and trying to think of an appropriate crosshair for the Sprayer. Expect a release in a day or two.

kk, shit's finished, and much sooner than I expected. All I have to do is cram together a quick trailer and readme, and it's ready for release.
Expect a release in an hour or two.
E: Thread is up in the Release section. Talk about it there.
