A new suggestion about weapons.

[Moghard]

I have an idea, none of the people here had before.

Like in Half Life or Counter Strike and all games on GLDSRC engine, we need different models for a weapon you hold and see on your screen, a weapon that someone is holding, and a model of a gun lying on the ground ( if we get pick-up able weapons in future updates ).

Something like this:

v_smg - (view) the model you see when you hold that weapon. More detailed than other.
w_smg - (worldmodel) the gun on the ground.
p_smg - (player) the gun used by other players.

I think people that create mods, would be really happieh if they would get that ability.

What do YOU think?

I knew what you think the " w_smg " isnt needed now and maybe never will.
" v_smg - (view) " This is good we can make arms! longer guns that doesnt goes trough players on p_ models and much more this is very good.
and " p_smg - (player) " Could be smaller size so it doesnt look so stupid when you got a nice looking but big gun.

This is quite a good idea.

Thank you!

This is an awesome idea!!! Also it can really help when you already don't have any ammo, and you're far from the base! +10!!(if it's allowed XD)

I've get used to of making a same model for the P_ and W_ .. so yeah.
I prefer a V_ model and a model that groups P_ and W_. More simple.

^This. Is. Gonna. Be. Awesome.

It could be abused, though. Someone could make the guns on their view normal, but on other people, a giant cube or arrow, kinda like what we have now, except that he won't be bothered by the size.

Or, if you make a decent gun skin, it should look good both on you, on other people and when lying on the floor.
Talking about scaling problems making things look not so good when viewed on other players is a separate matter entirely. It just doesn't seem sensible to have 3 files for.. practically the same thing.
