sHADOWcOBRA's all new, all spicy custom weapons thread

My, my, the forum is back on and while i was away, people have been quite
creative. bc even managed to bring back some of ut 2004's playermodels into
the old ut 99. talking of bringing back - i've decided to bring a nice thread
from before the crash back to life. with minor changes of course. first of all,
it's mine now ... bwahahahaha ... all mine ... (sorry for that, thug). and, of
course, there is new content. new visuals. and a lot of thrilling stuff to read,
download and experience. before we get started, i'd like to make two things
clear tho :


if your skills are small or average and you get bullied a lot during online play,
custom weapons won't make you any better. therefor, this whole thread aims at
adding some drops of martial hot sauce to your ut 99 gameplay, instead of
providing tools that fix low gameskills. same chances for everyone and
cheater suck anyway (not to be confused with cheeta, who is a crafty modder).


second thing is, that custom weapons won't help you getting laid with the
ladies. sure, if you show off some stuff to your die-hard-gamer-gf, she might
be a little turned on but don't count on the thought that it could work on all
the women. if you see female opponents in ut online sessions, the players are
mostly male which sometimes can be figured by the playername
(jennajameson666 for example) already.

enough fancy talking tho and back to the subject. sit back, grab your
favourite bulletpack and get ready for



due of it's up-to-dateness, i'll start with a weapon from the recently released
exu 2 demo, that would even frighten the pope to death.


-THE HELLGUN-

taking aside the fact, that it uses the weaponmodel of the old unreal
chaingun, this baby brings some orginality to the game. while the primary
fire is a hot fireball, the secondary fire burns flamming pentagrams on
ground and walls, incinerating everyone, who's standing too close. those
occult symbols remain bloodsoaked on the ground, so you can make quite
a mess out of your enemy's living room or fieldbase.

-BULLDOZER's ASSAULT GUNS-

what we have here are two arena mutators for a very pretty assault gun pair.
the used weapon models look quite familiar, so everybody should be able to
guess the source. but the fact that they didn't appear in any ut 99 mod or
mutie yet, gives them a touch of freshness in the game. away from the looks
(i prefer the second gun which is shown in the picture), they both spit the
same deadly bullets at a very high firing rate which makes em a good choice
for battles against bosses or fast paced deathmatches for they don't kill too
quick, like instagibs for example, but rather rapidly.

TACTICAL OPS SHOTGUN

it's hard to pick a favourite from the counter-strike-alike mod, that became a
game of it's own later, cause tactical ops has loads of wellmade, unique
firearms that charm the player's eyes. i picked the good guy's shotgun cause
it's such a gift to watch the reloading procedure, even if it costs your
gamelife, cause they enemy takes you out in this moment of helplessness. it
looks so jolly that you propably don't even complain about getting killed cause
you could watch the shells beeing put inside the weapon's chamber before
you dropped. maybe you're not agreeing with me here, but things like that let
me choose original weapons over mutators that use the standart weapon
models from ut or unreal with crappy textures. sure, not everybody who can
deliver nice weapon effects is a good modeler as well, but i clearly prefer
completely new looks to overused ones.

the tactical ops mod can be downloaded at the official homepage

since the first post shouldn't be too long, i'll stop here. there will be a lot
more to come, feel free to comment and post your own suggestions (of
course i'm hoping for the old thread's master thug life to drop in at some
point since he always had some good arms up his sleeve).

... cobra out (for now) ...

wow, that's almost too much praise for what i did. truth is that i wanted to
re-sign-up again anyway but i wanted to return with a new thread instread of
just commenting something. you know that i'm always looking for new
possibilities and additions to get the most amazing experience out of that old
ut 99 game (graphic-, sound- and phunwise) and this forum helped me a lot
with it, so what i want is to give something back to a community that has
been very ressourceful to me.

@ goofy : brings back memories, uh? despite it's old age, tactical ops is to me
still one of the best games of it's kind. every detail yells "quality" and the
gameplay is huge loads of fun and excitement (plus you can add mutators like
monsterspawn and bloodtrails).

@ xtc : thanks for the flowers, but don't forget that this is kind of your
thread as well, so it's no wonder you like it. i know that only very few people
know about these assault guns, which is why i put them on the thread, so
more people can enjoy em. and, guess what, there will be more weaps, you
haven't seen yet in this update.

@isense : thanks. i believe i've seen one of the assault gun models in ut 2004,
so i think that's where there from, but since they greatly fit and look into ut
99 the way they are, i actually don't care much about the source.
i do know a few things about photoshop and i enjoy doing people a graphical
favour who enjoy and appreciate what i do, so feel free to send me a private
message on the board with what you have in mind and an email adress
perhaps and i'll see what can be done.

so far with the fanmail and now it's time for issue 2, that has some more
unexpected content i found on bulldozer's files, so fasten your seatbelts and
get ready for action!



you're propably looking at the pic above, thinking :
"purple pants are not really my thing, but I WANT THAT GUN!!!!!"

1. the pants are mine, so you can't have them anyway.
2. to help you get the gun is part of what this post is about.

... hey, stop drooling at once ... you think nobody is watchin you and you
might be even right, but just cut it out ok ? ...



-THE BULLSHOCK-

the bullshock is a gorgeously looking weapon and, while playing, you will even
be able to notice, that there is a red switch at the back that leaves some
room for speculations (don't worry, it's not the history-eraser-button, i tried
it already and, as you can see, we're still all here and well). pirmary fire looks
like the usual primary fire of the shockrifle in ut 99, but does the damage of
the instagib. secondary fire unleashes an explosive blast, that is very
destructive and should only be fired from a distance. it can take out a lot of
opponents at once plus yourself, so be careful if you don't want your winning
picture look like this :

still looks good and the weapon is adorable, but you're meat and in some
situations you might not want to be. i just love to play with the bullshock,
it's quite a thrill and adds some extra flavour to every match. like the assault
gun, the bullshock isn't a loner and comes with a comrade in arms.


-THE BULLSNIPER-

hell yes, this is a looker too, but unfortunately not very effective compared
to other weaps. it's ok to play and eyecandy too, but you won't find yourself
using it very often.

the bullshock and the bullsniper both come in package that is called
"bullmaxpackarena" and has a arena mutator for each of the weapons
and a "max"-mutator that just adds those two into the usual ut weapon
setup and changes all powerups and healthpickups with great new visuals
and sounds as well.
