How do I make a kit that includes the famous weapon from the movie Aliens as a standard weapon.. Ive been fooling with Igor any pointers? Also Im still in the process of locating a sound effect file for it.. Perhaps you could make my search shorter.. Is there already a mod in existance that contains this weapon?,, if so, point me to it..

I haven't played or heard of any mod that contains the pulse rifle, so you'll probably have to create it yourself.

I'm not sure of the exact specifics, but from what I gather you have to get pictures of the gun from different angles (side-on, front-on etc) and make a texture from them - like a 3d model. Once it's created properly looks-wise, you then go into the Gun Editor in Igor (select it from the Tools drop-down menu). You then create your gun using your texture and inputting the various parameters in the Gun Editor (such as type of weapon - rifle, pistol etc - rate of fire, number of rounds in a clip and so on).

Am I right in remembering that the pulse rifle has an underbarrel GL? If so, you have to create the gun separately to the grenade launcher as two different weapons. Then, in the Igor Gun Editor, when you create the rifle, there's a check-box that says something like "Has underbarrel weapon". Tick that, and then you specify what weapon goes under the barrel. I believe the texture should be modelled containing both weapons though. See the OICW/GL, the M16/M203 or the AK74/GL weapons in the game for exactly how it was done.

The best people to ask about creating the textures would be pme or achilles. They'll no doubt post here later on... Good luck!

Gav there is a mod out that shoots pulses and on the receiving end it's more like GL round. Only difference is the weapon is line of sight and you can't lob like you can with any GL. It has enormous flash and smoke trail while the secondary weapon is like a pistol but does the same as above only with a smaller charge of explosion.

To Snipe,

I was talking about a fictional weapon which was a prop in a movie that Sigourney Weaver became famous in called "Aliens"... in this movie it was the standard, futuristic assualt weapon used in the military.. Call me a scifi nerd but I think it would be awesome to have that weapon in Ghost Recon...

I don't think GR is the ideal game for modding pulse weapons.

i dont think you all are understanding him...

It was called a pulse rifle, but it was an assault rifle with an insane ROF that fired bullets.... and had a beefy grenade launcher.

I own Aliens VS Predator 2... i can give you the sound files for the pulse gun if you want.

BTW how possible would it be to make a motion sensor? The AvP one can detect motion in 180 degrees in front, give you range and bearing (graphically) and it pinged like sonar. It also had a short range (and stopping/moving slowly defeated it).

Im thinking of this as a threat indicator replacement maybe?

yes please send me those files Xo563511.. sorry i forgot about this message board... send them to hdalton@herzeleid.net.. thats my auxillary account .. wont give actual address on open forum
