Revamp the weapon models? - jxie93 - 01-22-2010
Guns and turret models are fugly in general. I hate the liberty laser gun models.

Gallic guns are awesome in terms of model.

So why not revamp all vanilla gun models?

If nothing else the cap turret models look like crap.
The Razors look decent, the cerbs too, but the majority of non-BS turrets look rather small on their ship.
And dont get me started on the mortars....... should have a HUGE turret.

It doesn't bother me too much, but if I was to stop and think, the models aren't good looking. But sometimes the ugliest things can be the most devastating. The AH-64 Helicopter Gunship comes to mind.
Looks and potency are both very different things.
But if a change did come, I honestly wouldn't mind.

Razor and Mortar turret models just need to be swapped. The current mortarght mortar turret is perfect for razors, having a wider barrel and base, while the current Razor model is perfect for mortars, having a longer barrel and thinner base.
I've suggested that a few times before but nobody ever pays any heed to the idea.
For reference, this is the razor model (which -should- be the mortar model):

' Wrote:Only decent guns, in my opinion, are the kraken models, the codename models (even though they DO look like vacuum cleaners) as well as the sidewinder missile launcher.
Really? You like those models? And here I was thinking that this thread might be about changing them. One of my issues with Codenames is that they are all (save for two) the same gun model. Yes, most of them are slow-firing globs of light, like plasma weapons, so it makes sense to give some of them a plasma-weapon gun model, but can we have some variation?
Even just by using already-existing models, they could look a lot better. For example, this could make a good model for the Diamondbacks/Silverfires/Hammerfalls, And this is another plasma-type weapon, so we could use that model for similar Codenames, and maybe even use some of the Gallic gun models for a few.

We really should replace the models of the SNAC/Razor. The Salamanca model is, IMO, the ugliest gun in the game, aside from the Liberty Lasers. The http://discoveryfl.com/wiki/images/4/43/Ge...do_launcher.png would work for the SNAC.
Now, I would also love to see the Mini Razor replaced, along with the Mortars. For the Mortars, we should model some new, symmetrical, intimidating cannon. For the Minis, I would love to see a re-textured Hornviper or a re-textured Sunrail. Oh, and why is it saved as Br railgun.png?

Agreed.
It just looks so funny when someone has a razor...... so but yet so impotent for its size ........
Otherwise, just make the Mortar turret a lot bigger, so it's scale is simular to that of the two pics posted here, but moreso.
Basicly make it REALLY big.

While I agree, that some weapons are rather ugly (for example Liberty), most are fine and even beautiful. I love Kusari gun models, I love the Missile launchers (hell, I found them and pushed them in - I should), Rheinland guns are pretty fine and Gallic guns are just marvellous. Most of all, if anyone touches the Bretonian guns, I'll have their head. The codes I'm not too fond of.
@Gauss: The image is br_railgun.png, because the gun model is br_railgun.cmp in the game files. That doesn't imply that the weapon in game is really a railgun. You would be surprised at some of the names...

*Shudders*
Making gun models hurts...
