Chainsword...

[Gartley]

umm, yeah, I made a chainsword for KillingFloor... what with SpaceMarine coming out and all... not quite sure what came over me but...

Sod it. I made it BECAUSE I CAN! YEAH! And I wanted to! SO HAVE FUN! =P

I present to you! A MASTER CRAFTED CHAINSWORD! http://www.gamefront.com/files/20752437/Chainsword.rar

It's in game and working. Comes with mut to spawn with, otherwise just use the CustomShopMut

-Assets-

Ok boys and girls, as usual with my mods I like to release the assets when I deem I'm done with them. Have fun and remember, credit where credit is due and if you release a version tell me what has changed and why, this way I learn to. Oh, and remember, the hands are property of TWI so they can't leave this game.

[HaTeMe]

Hahahaha, nice pic.

Looks like it could be fun though, when fixed.

 

[mooarchanox]

tested it, nice model though just to point out something,

1) size is ok as it is, this is meant to be for the space marine's power armor, so a little bigger in bare hand is not that weird. still can be a little smaller if you see fit

2) it needs non-animated teeth, now it look like a big bat without one, there is no need for the teeth animation just put it there ... for visual.

3) slow and hard hitting melee weapon don't need a' chain attack though.

4) 3rd person model is shining ~

5) some sounds need to be changed to chainsaw ... and add the volume in there too ... there is no in current version ..

6) add some charging leap attack to R mouse would be a beast, i already done for mine though

7) you might want too add some bloody texture too ...

8) add some gored effect when hitting zeds would be nice. i am trying to put this in right now ...

keep it up !

 

[halbridious]

I lold at the pic. It'd be cool if you could have it so it "revved" when you clicked secondary fire, and turned off on click two. then you'd have to rev it up to swing, but maybe ran faster when it wasn't revved up and ready lookin forward to playin with it anyways

 

[Gartley]

Thanks for the feedback so far.

@mooar
I'll be adding some of those details, although I intended this for a quick and fun weapon. So I won't be spending lots and lots of time on it. By chain I mean hold the button down and it keeps attacking like the other weapons do (knife, axe etc).

And to whoever disliked without an explanation. Kick a puppy why don't you. ='(

yup i understood that same concept as you say. because it's gonna be slow, so player is needed to time the attack themselves, so there is really no need for that. that's my point

ps. if i found something i will let you know more ...
ps2. this is the 2nd custom melee to the community and they are rarely out, so i would like to see it perfect as much as possible

 

[braindead]

Damn, I know I am going to get flamed for this and will no doubt spend eternity in hell.....

Whisky, have you ever heard the saying, if you haven't got anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all?

I personally don't like it as it looks like the ugliest and weirdest thing I have ever seen.
Don't get me wrong, I am so glad you are modding and really making progress with your mods but something like this will kill the look of the game, blah blah back to the old realism/game not realistic debate but here is the way I see it.....


Ok,. so you have servers running really, really silly and quite often ridiculous mods, which is up to them but those types of servers are few and far between ( thank god) and most of those mods were made specificly for those servers.
Here is the part where you have to decide to keep it server specific or release to the public...

Server owners respect modders profoundly and really want to support them and quite often feel obligated to run mods, just to support future modding, sooo you are going to have servers running this and imo ruining the look of the game because they feel that they may upset or hurt feelings if they don't.

Ok, so I made the Portal gun and that isn't realistic at all but with the portal assets that TWI released, there was something to work with, otherwise I would never have dreamed of making such a mod. Where as I cannot even imagine a back story, setting or scenario where this item would fit?

Why not a cricket bat, baseball bat, shovel, pick axe or cosh?? something that could really have benefitted the game. Why on earth this monstrosity?
Give it legs and turn it into a specimen hehe

Again, in no way am I knocking your modding skill, just choice of mod. So sorry if I really get beat down for this but I just don't want to see the game going down this road.

 

[Benjamin]

I think it's a pretty cool idea, not a big fan of the design though.

*cough* any server run by Hemi *cough*.

 

[Hemi]

hitting 25 players 4 to 5 times a day...I really dont mind running these "silly" servers instead of a balanced dead one that no one plays. Silly sells.

Doesnt mean I dont want to run a normal one. But yeah...if no one opens their mouth...nothing will happen. The modded server is a succes (and Braindead and me are responsible for the biggest unbalanced death machine on those servers the M41A. lol)Thats why were doing more nutty stuff on those servers...cous its proving succesfull.

Its a different style of gaming and no were near the original KF. This is more Serious Sam esc, and allot of people love that.

This doesnt mean I wont listen to words of the modding community. WPC will set up a modded server with only the mods with the KF feel to it.

EDIT : I (WE!!) also run 3 vanilla servers Ben....grrr

We can have both worlds BD.... And as long as we dont have dildo's and slotmachines...our servers are doing pretty well.

 

[krispyk]

BD, just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your mods but this weapon is from the Warhammer series. That's why it looks that way. Gartley already stated that in his opening sentence and it is one for the Warhammer fans.

Whisky, have you ever heard the saying, if you haven't got anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all?

I don't know about you but this seems like the pot calling the kettle black. Anyway, I'm not here to argue. I'll just leave these here:

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000:_Space_Marine[/URL]

Maybe it's just me but I appreciate any mod contribution. I wouldn't worry too much about it ruining the look and feel of KF as it is an optional add-on and up to the server owners.

I totally agree that with a game based on this engine, mods are the one that thing that will keep it fresh and popular but there has to be a line in the sand somewhere.
I just remember the way LOTD went with it's mods and the game died without getting off the ground, mainly due to every server (which lol wasn't that many) ran every single mod that came out, no matter how ridiculous they were.

WPC are safe in the fact that you have more than one server, which means you can go silly with one or 2 but still keep the game original on the others, for us dedicated players (lol although I don't seem to have enough time to play anymore)

I don't know about you but this seems like the pot calling the kettle black. Anyway, I'm not here to argue.

lol, sorry krispyk, I don't think I explained that properly, I didn't mean whisky said something bad, he asked who down-voted him and that was my reply. I did!! because I didn't have anything nice to say about it, so did it via the down vote system.
But he asked for an explanation to why I down voted him, so I gave it even though I don't like saying anything bad

@Braindead

Thanks for your reply, not seen you around for a while so I hope things are cool. To address your concern the reasoning behind this mod was 'becuase I can.' It's that simple, this was more an exercise for my own 2min of fun. I don't expect everyone in the community to fall in love with it. I don't really intend for this to make it onto any server. It was one of those things I expect those interested to go "lulz, that was a fun 5 min' *turn off mut and forget about.*

Killing Floor is in a grey area for me at the moment. I'm just experimenting and seeing what I can find.

EDIT Your post came in as I was writing this reply. So you are the downvoter, that's cool, all I was after was a reason. It doesn't even have to be that indepth or explained. =)

If I know why people don't like something I can attempt to address that concern. So don't be afraid to tear something apart mate. What's the worst that can happen? I'll be a little disapointed you don't share excitement about something, I'll live. =P

Also I'm familir with the saying if you haven't got anything nice... I'm just not sure in what context you are using it in.

Hey Whisky, yeh things are fine here, just had the kids off school for 6 weeks so modding was out of the window

Don't worry I fully understand about the 'cuz I can' bug, once you get it, you want to make everything but it's the releasing it part that I really was addressing but as you stated, it'll no doubt be 5 mins of fun and then now get used again.
It's like that damn teletubbies mod someone made......why??? why on earth make something and release it to the public? they did it with L4D and then did it with KF......why? but as you said.....because they can

 

[Hemi]

He means, "dont post this mod, because I think its useless...and I only want to see mods that I think are good" ....at least....that how it comes over to the rest of the world. I know Braindead...and I dont think thats the case though. Atleast....I hope im wrong...

 

[Gartley]

lol, Hemi you should know not to try sound sarcastic through text. It never works. XD

And incase BD missed the edit.

[Hemi]

BD is english...he understands lol

And personally...I think this is a matter of taste and cant be downvoted for that...thats just me though

 

[Gartley]

Those silly like/dislike buttons aside.

I think personal taste does matter. I know I'm not going to please everyone, but if they let me know what they dont' like and do like. Maybe next time I'll make something more catered for them.

 

[mrblorx]

(Lets put this back on topic shall we?)

I like the weapon, actually. It was a good project to start out on. Every weapon created for Killing Floor is great in my view. This one reminds me of the "Ripper" from Fallout 3. But I know its from Space Marines (My stepdad plays the actual game). This is a great weapon, silly or not.

@Hemi, you are actually close to how I feel, not because I think it's useless mind you, just that I don't personally think it suits the KF universe. Now if there was a warhammer TC then, go for it.

Ok, the way I see it is, how many times do you see posts requesting updates from the dev's for new weapons and specimens? too many and how much modding talent do we have out there? an abundance, yet everyone seems to ignore what people are asking for and making mods that just don't do the game justice. ie. TELETUBBIES FFS

why can't that talent be applied to creating weapons or characters that the players are screaming for? and in the process, saving the dev's a lot of headaches of worrying that they are now providing enough support to the community, when they are much busier trying to run a business and get another game out there.

Another way of looking at it, if you are a modder and a dedicated one, do you really want to be remembered as the dick who made the teletubbies mod, or the one who's mods are still being used and downloaded by every new player that hits the servers?

Whisky, I sincerely apologise if this thread has been knocked off kilter a little and as I said, I appreciate anything you are doing and so glad to see that you are learning and improving.

 

[Hemi]

Same can be said for the Portal stuff...which was mearly a Promotion stunt from valve. This sword ard your Portal gun are the same in my eyes....bat **** crazy mods that I gladly upload to our servers. Same goes for the M41A and Jason Voorhees. All mods that totally unbalance the original KF game. Even the Custom Shop supports this modding behaviour in every way.

Weve worked together on mods that bring stuff in from other games countless times...why is this one any different?
