Version 0.8 out now, I have gotten all the weapons ingame and mostly working with a loosely working tech tree and item lists.

Expect bugs and stuff, any feedback is appreciated.

found a problem - handob's for the pistol and rifle are out of alinement - does anyone know how to fix this?

Also Updated the zip file.

Check the files I have on the mod portal, I had to correct that already.

Is it possable for me to use/modify/base off these sprites? I'm currently working on a Elerium Based Laser Mod, but I'm not really good at graphics.

Sure! just mention me in your mod readme or something.

I do agree on most of the problems raised, to be honest, at this point I am throwing numbers in off the top of my head. I think I might change the balancing to mostly get rid of the range control stuff, it just gets awkward in the ranges used.

I have also noticed a problem in that each rank of alien can only have 10 possible weapon combinations. the current thought I am having is that I am gonna change the weapons so that each rank has a specific set of weapons that replaced. so rather then the weapons being pure variety, I think I am gonna make each rank of alien have various tiers of weapons, for example:

Alien Soldier:
projector pistol > Plasma PDW/Projector Carbine -> Plasma Rifle/Dual Projector -> Heavy Plasma/something

Alien Engineer:
Projector Pistol > Projector Carbine/Plasma PDW/Small launcher + explosive round > Plasma Rifle/Small launcher + explosive round

with an odd peppering of pistols and things.

I feel this could be used to make the aliens have a threatening development along with the player, even as the player gets better guns so do the aliens.

This is my goofy idea for how I am planing to balance the stuff together, very much untested and very conceptual in nature!

I believed you were intended to split them, not merge them all...
Could you eventually provide the width,height,subX,subY ?

well in the files you can just tell it to sub divide:
- type: HANDOB.PCK
width: 256
height: 1160
subX: 32
subY: 40
files:
0: Resources/test_mod/handob/rework_handob.png

This means they are all in nice order.

edit: all sprites are now working! the OP has a zip of all the sprites + a tester bit of a mod to make them appear in a disorganized manner in-game.

edit2: visual replacement only now in the OP

Hmm in case it's still useful, here's the entire set.

By the way the heavy plasma looks like it was victim of a "multiple paste", which produces a doubled handle and makes it not fit in 48 pixels vertically, I reversed the process as I could.
The heavy flechette rifle is wayyy to long to be used. The "arm" inventory boxes can only hold 32x48 items.
edit: Argh I thought there were instructions to locate a specific rectangle in an image, but no... These images need to be split further.

don't worry about the weird positioning, I am working on spliting the images up already. the corrected issues is of great help however!

Work In Progress / Weapon Rework/Expansion - Version 0.8

« on: July 20, 2014, 08:41:32 pm »

Hellooo, been a while since I have been on this forum.

I have had a bit of extra time lately and I saw the mod support now present in modern OpenXcom and decided to mess around with some sprites... so I made a heap of weapon sprites/ideas.

Conventional Weapons

Heavy Pistol, Carbine (basically unaltered), Squad Automatic Weapon, Designated Marksman Rifle, Man Portable Auto Cannon, Multiple Munition Launcher

Laser:

Laser Pistol, Laser Rifle, Heavy Laser, Snub Nose Laser

Gauss + Advanced Grenade:

Gauss Pistol, Gauss Rifle, Gauss Cannon, Auto Gauss, Advanced Grenade

"Light"/Particle Projectors:

Projector Pistol, Projector Carbine, Dual Particle Projector, Arc Projector (ranged stun)

"Common"/Plasma + Small Launcher:

Plasma PDW, Plasma Rifle, Heavy Plasma, Small Launcher

"Heavy"/Thermal Rifles:

Thermal Rifle, Heavy Thermal, Heavy Launcher

"Long Range"/ Hyper Velocity Flechette:

Flechette Pistol, Light Flechette Rifle, Heavy Flechette Rifle

~~Next I need to actually figure out how to get them in game~~, and get them into a tech tree.

Edit: Got all sprites working in game, ~~prealpha unordered sprites here.~~

~~Edit2: Version 0.1 (visual replacements only) Now Available Here~~

Edit2: Version 0.8 (Unbalanced and buggy) Now Available Here
