OK, Hemi has fixed it on the WPC servers, so there are now servers in the UK and state side for people to try it out.

I'm working on some of the sound effects and just tweaking things now. Should be soon. ;)

Recent changes: (Not implimented yet on servers)
-Can now reload without chamber being empty.
-Fixed Fire animation so that it resets correctly.
-Added foley/sfx work.

ToDoList (more for me than you):
-Fix reload animation (low)
-Tie up loose ends in code (med)
-3rd Person animations (low)
-Decide on final details; perk, damage, cost, weight etc (high)

Good work on the reload then. My 2 cents on the balance - if you want, give this one the damage of the hand cannon but with the head-shot multiplier of the XBOW. twould then be firmly in the realm of the SS, and at 750 dosh or so, well priced. Might be OP except that the reload and slow fire rate would balance it. Or you could go the other way and have it high and mighty and make it 3k dosh lol :D

Pre final faffing about:

I've decided to:

Crank the power and slightly increase cost of weapon. Sod balance, I want to have fun.

Inregards to perk I thought it would best fit either of the following, Sharp, Support, Medic or Demo.
For these reasons;
Sharpy: Obvious reasons
Medic: Would be nice to have another weapon for the medic.
Support/Demo: I kind of thing a large revolver suits the image of these classes.

Giving it to the Medic perk for the following reasons;
Sharpshooters already have 5 weapons to pick from.
Medics only have the one gun.
Support can carry enough weapons inc 'nades.
Also a weapon assaigned to the medic with out healing abilities is kind of a 'unperked' selection. Perks will still get their respective bonus. Reload speed, headshot damage etc.

Of course; If any of you would like to say otherwise, please do so down below, you may even convince me. :p

i want to say sharp, because it fits his style of play and class of weapon, and it is the class i main, but the sharp doesn't really need any more weapons as it is, i don't think this would be good for demo, he has enough big guns, but i guess it would be nice for commando... but that defeats the purpose of the class,

have you tried just making it a perk less god weapon?

I vote you have a sharpie AND medic version :D like IJC came out with their M7A3"C" you could have a python and a python M. i bet you could even rig the darts if you got some help :) I vote no for support. Any perk that would increase its body shot damage from high to extreme is a no-vote. thats why i like sharpies - they perk only headshots, not bodyshots.

Gave it a shot on one of the WPC servers. Didn't really get a good feel for it, because I was too busy preventing Shivers, Brutes, Jason, and various Doom 3 monsters from eating my face. but I did manage to fire off a few shots, and it seemed powerful enough.

Wished I could reload without having to shoot all rounds, though.

how about a custom icon? Ye old skull and crossbones, because any zed on the receiving end will surely die!

If I knew how, I so would! XD

You can now reload it at anytime. And the WPC servers are crazy, once I've kicked my webhost in the *** my server will be back properly, currently redirects are not working. You can get on but it takes some time. It's a little less hectic on that. ;)

Not sure if this is easy or not, but make it fire Med Syringes if it's a Medic using it like my SPP-1 pistol idea.
