lol i feel sorry for you

Ya,I've done it for a double-barrel shotgun and a sniper I was doing.I've remade the entire gun with exactly the same sizes.I've took all that time to make a simple rocket launcher cause the first time it was facing the wrong direction,then I had to rotate it 90º.But,then I've got it wrong once again,and had to turn it 180º to face the right direction. =/

well the slab6 program forces you to keep your camera level, but not to keep it at a certain angle, so what you are going to have to do is recreate you entire gun in a different slab6 where you know for sure which way its supposed to be facing, i t kinda sucks but i dont know of any other way :/

I'm having one problem here.I can see the weapon now,but it need to be rotated 90 degrees,and I needs to know where is the angle to direct my weapons,so that i dont make the same mistake here.

Yeah,I've done something like that,the gun is 3 blocks wide,the mag is 1 block wide and I made the handle to looks like the one in the AUG A1.I'm workin in a double-barrel shotty,and maybe a sniper rifle.Thanks for the tips.

you've probably named it incorrectly in your kv6 file folder, so the game looks for the file named "semi" and doesnt find anything so it doesnt show anything. btw you did name the file semi and not rifle right?

As for tips for kv6 I would start with a gun that has a similiar stock to the gun you are trying to make, and use that for a base. Then you need to know the rules of thumb, the handles on most weapons are just three squares that overlap in the corners, here's an example: http://i.imgur.com/4iWQV.jpg
also, the body of your guns should be three voxels wide, and about three voxels tall, and the barrel a one vixel wide/tall line, and you could also make the handle and clip part only one voxel wide as well. if the body looks too blocky then you can shave off the two rows of voxels on the sides of the top of the gun, like this:

hope this helps a little bit and I know that i didn't really explain it perfectly and if you dont get something just ask or whatever

Okay so,see this one and tell me if it's good,It is my first weapon =P

I have a problem here,when I try to test the weapon in game,I have nothing in my hands.I'm testing it as a rifle.
Oh,and sorry for the triple post.

Okay,I got some screenshots from the weapon,and now it is in PCX,what program should I use to open it?

I've been playing a bit,I made a gun,or something that looks like a gun,using the chair.I dont know what gun it is,something like a mix from a non-bullpup AUG A1 and a G36E.At first I was trying to make an double-barreled shotgun,then I started playing with the thing.I thing I'm going to paint here and there and post to see if anyone likes it. =P

All I can really say is don't try making a gun from scratch, it's pretty difficult, I suggest playing around with the default gun to get a good sense of SLAB6.

I'm going to start making weapons by myself,and I wanted to know some tips and tricks for SLAB6,I'm pretty new in this thing. =P

cargo

After some playing my opinion is that best maps are flat, low above bedrock with water here and there, and symmetrical. So heres my dreamed map:

http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8739/mapmiddleriver2.jpg

red circles: 5-10 ground height, optionally some soviet-like buildings and few trees

orange circles: 0-5 ground height, 50/50 swampy water and small islands, optionally bunker or small tower here and there and some trees

outside circles: mostly water

optionally single bridge in the middle of map from one base to another, 6 wide (4 road + 2 one-block-high-barriers), 2 thick(+barrier), with two 2x2 columns every 15 blocks

I love the idea of towers and bridges...

I've been messing around with the editor a bit, it's not very easy to use but it's fun.

D-DAY MAP IS UP GO CHECK IT OUT

Would someone consider making a map of a real battles of WWII or WWI? I mean like Battle of the Westerplatte, Normandy invasion, Stalingrad, Battle of Ypres or Battle of Tannenberg. Those would be great and I'd return to server with such map very often.

A D-day map.

@BoL we are just discussing map ideas not mods here :O though that does sound pretty epic

I've been playing around in my head with the idea of a Western-themed map. Canyons and cacti. Cowboys (with ten-gallon hats) instead of soldiers. A Winchester repeating rifle or maybe a six-shooter (ten-shooter?). A bank bag of money instead of the intel briefcase. You could keep the medical tent. Maybe throw in an Alamo or two. Was playing on a Desert Warfare server that looked like someone had used cavegen with and it certainly fit the theme well-enough. I'd suggest cowboys versus indians but it doesn't really work with the way the player models are set up currently.

But I honestly don't know if I have the time to really do it justice so if someone wants to take my idea and run with it then, by all means, be my guest.

im better than some people and worse than others, but im good enough to get the job done, plus i have my own server that i use for testing purposes when its empty

A plain. completely flattened. Tunnelers and Trench-diggers rejoice!

@alex are you relatively good with the editor? what map are you working on atm?

once i finish the map im workin on for myself, i will start crackin on these, startin with the cargo ship

Make the complex bin laden was hiding in!

A maze...
DEAD END? HOW ABOUT YOU DIG THROUGH IT.

I want to see a city of bridges, very high up, water at the base of the towers, bridges of different heights connect to towers of different heights etc

Two islands with a bridge in the middle

Give me a map were you jump out of an exploding helicopter and free fall down onto a falling car, you open the door and start it up and it transforms into a fighter jet, and as you do a roll you see all the enemy's are raptor bears and they shoot laser missles at you. Make that and i will give you all of my money!

hey guys i might have a solutioi to the desert map i am currently hosting a EPIC deset map with caverns and such on my server US West Custom Map Desert Fox i did not make it or modify it in any way Triplefox made it and he was willing to let me host it go check it out its AWESOME

ya urban warfare would be fun and trenches
