in how far would an 88 require reload animations and similar to look finished while the AT guns dont?
Any AT gun would need it, or it will look like the little plastic soldier figures we had as kids, just standing there with a mortar (my plastic men allways came with a mortar, not an 88), and every now and then it would go boom.
To look finished and real, you would need some anims so it looks like the people are doing something with the gun.
In how far is new code needed? And no, default properties is not code.
And please stop the "OMG its so hard to do this or that" talk, it's work, ok, it might take some time, but its not rocket science. People are plain lazy...
I figure we have one content update left with RO, at best, then its going to be game over man, and TWI will start full speed on the next game.
And if im right about that, does it really seem likely that they would spend time on this? nope, not really, it would be nice, but i dont think its in the cards.
As for it beeing "not rocket science" and us just beeing "lazy".. go put your modding talents where your mouth is, model, skin, animate and code us an 88 and an 85, have them on my desk by next friday!
I dont know if you just rolled in on the 4 o'clock turnip truck, but this community has all of zero avalible modding talent, very few people here have any skills, and thouse few have long since been hired by the big mods, and are more than occupied working on thouse.
That leaves just a few scattered coding newbies like me, and i sure as hell wouldent even know where to start, and i cant think of anyone else who could who also has the time to do it, nor the will (lets face it, this communty is not very mod freindly..), i cant think of any avalible modellers, animators or texture guys either.
So if you really have the goods, feel more than welcome to bring it! we could use some AT guns, if not, its all just more empty talk..
