Hell yeah I want a chrome skin!

i do too, would be cool to have a chrome skin for it, and maybe even a detail texture over it (something grimey) so it looks all tough and sexy.

maybe someone here can make a chrome version of the beretta skin? i tried but my ideas didnt work for it.

There is a texture pack called "detailtextures_t" you might want to take a look at that.

yeh thats the ones i was going to use, i was hoping to make the skin chrome, and then give it one of those detail textures to make it look oiled/worn/used. would make it look alot more different to the black/clean 9mm we spawn with. but editing that texture to make it chrome isnt going to be easy from the looks of it.

from testing we are finding out that its too expensive. a bullpup is 400 on hard, and the machinepistol is 575. we are also finding out that 20 rounds is good, but 9 mags isnt enough, maybe 2 more mags?

PS: olivier is trying his luck at a skin, ill do the material editing if he can make a chrome/inox skin.

Is there any way to still be able to level up with this mutator on? Thanks


It has to be whitelisted. I have to suggest this on the mutator whitelist suggestion thread if I want it whitelisted. However, the next mutator whitelist update will happen when the next patch is released. But this will never ever be whitelisted due to the fact that its a new weapon and its an unfair advantage to the game.

I'm going to keep it at 9 mags cuz 2 more wud be unrealistic. A 20 round mag x 11 = heavly unrealistic. I'm going to reduce the price to 450 or whatever you think is suitable.

EDIT: it WAS an unfair advantage to the game. now with 20 round mags theres no spamming.

I'll atleast try to get it on the whitelist and make a convincing statement to TWI why it should go on. You hav to support me to.

of course i will. i played a few games last night with the machinepistol on my server with 5 other ppl. it wasnt overpowered at all. it makes for a good backup weapon: from my testing its not going to replace the bullpup or AK47, but it is decent enough for someone to defend themselves.

id definitely charge 400-450 for it.

EDIT: just saw the update!

I think someone should not only create texture for it, but tweak the model as well, I'm thinking of extending the clip just a bit, so you could see it has 20 rounds. What do you think? :)

Wow, this is one of my few threads that I had positive feedback from! Actually I think this thread had the littlest of complaits out of any of them.

As long as you balance it, it is up for whitelisting. I would probably give it to the medic myself.
