This mod is near perfection right now. SPF I mean.

Just maybe a bit shorter sound files for automatic weapons so that the sound doesn't overlap too much. Either that or lower down the ROF.

I don't get it why everyone makes aimdistance higher than default on actors. This is immensely annoying imo. I'd rather have the actor in the center of my screen at all times when moving. Sharp-aim is for when you want to see further.

The flame particles can get laggy as ♥♥♥♥ when there's too many of them. They're also pretty powerful, but I wouldn't say they're OP because the flamethrower has a decently short mag. What comes to the grenade, it doesn't take more for the AI than one grenade malfunction to wipe out a whole squad.

Also, needs a pirate ship craft.

Easily one of my fav mods atm though. Keep it up!

Hahaha, cheers! And thanks for all the extremely useful C&C along the way!

I think the AimRange upgrade is a holdover from the days when the AI was as thick as a brick wall, it was an attempt to get them to shoot at things from more than point blank range.
I'll fix the aimrange thingy and I've managed to take a lot of lag outta the flames by chopping the number of glows in half and quartering the pyro effects, but still keeping the feel of it. The INCIN grenades have a GibImpulseLimit of 7000 or so, the game just likes to ignore select GibImpulseLimits though. For example the cluster bomblets from Ul-Tex have a mass of 1 and a GibImpulseLimit of 1000000 but about a third of them gib when falling four meters, so until Data does something about stuff like that there ain't much I can do.

Which sounds are too long? The B3 is supposed to have a long sound, but are there any others?

Heh, dropships... I loathe having to code them, they always ♥♥♥♥ up with absolutely no reason. There'll be one eventually, but maybe not for a while.

Got some art ready when the time comes though, eg:

Also fixed the "Powerfull" descriptions BTW. XD

You know, that really reminds me of the scenery/bosses/midbosses from Raptor: Call of the Shadows.

Can you make an grenade launcher variant of the AGK35 / 34 ?

The pirate ship craft would be made of junker parts mixed with MK1 dropship parts !

Yeah. By the way it's preferred that you don't quote huge walls of text and images. Just a heads up.

NEEDS MORE JOLLY ROGER The B-3 is allright because it's ROF is at 400. I think the AutoMag is a better example of what I was talking about. Anyways, what I meant with the sounds was increasing the tempo and cutting the reverb a bit so that it doesn't sound like it's supposed to be semi-automatic. The sounds are not really THAT long but they could use a bit polishing. Actually, if you don't mind, I could try fading the end a little bit to show you what I mean.

MORE JOLLY ROGER AYE! By all means, go ahead, the sounds are from a gun sounds pack from some website. I might have a play in Audacity as well.

I think the sounds could generally just use replacements, they're all pretty loud and low quality. I replaced them all with some sounds from Call of Duty 4 I had lying around, and that works pretty well for me, but I dunno if that could be any kind of permanent solution.

I quite like the sounds, and I have a knee-jerk reaction against CoD. But thanks for the thought. They're just as loud as vanilla gun sounds as far as I can tell.

Cheers, I always loved playing shmups like that in the arcade. Edit: Yarr, the skiff be proper beaut-if-ified now.
