Because I created one on account the Iron Sights are based off of the Gewehr43, that way your sights and weapon will match up!

^Here is a picture of the weapon. Its barrel, Magazine, and charging handle are all very accurate to a real Gewehr43 which can be seen in this link.

Just download the .rar file from the link posted on the original .jpg image and extract the files! Then drag-n-drop the files to their associated folders and click "yes" when asked to replace the files.

Also, if people like this design, I might take up requests for future skins

(including any other object people would want re-skinned)

Looks nice. But why not just post a link here directly?

well, I wanted people to see the weapon before choosing to download it so they would know it didn't look stupid/think it was a virus.

I'll edit my second post to include a direct link.

And yet, I see no link. Just a blank post. Might want to add some text with the link. The forum might be filtering it out. I just can't be arsed to type the link in.

Edit: no wait there it is. thank you.

Could you make it any smoother? The edges are a bit sharp for my taste.

@TheBest

The edges will appear fuzzier while in-game like the regular rifle design. In order to make the weapon less blocky it would require more pixel blocks and make the weapon too large for the players body/field of vision. All weapon skins have a "blocky" design, as this game is very "blocky"

Oh right, I forgot about that part. I thought this was CoD.

How about a lightsaber?

@TheBest

You..uhh.... you mean make a gun..look like a lightsaber? Or make it look/sound like its firing lightsabers? Because it wouldnt be too hard now that im thinking about it to make the tracer look like a lightsaber, and then alter the gun sounds to sound like light saber whooshes.... if..uhh....you want your weapon to fire lightsabers, that it... >__>

I like it. Didn't use the sounds, though.

Nawwwww dawg, I want to be a jedi! Make the rifle look like a lightsaber. You could also alter the pew-pew sounds, good idea.

Get it? Got it? DO IT.

How do you replace the current one?

@Wheatley

Go to program files

Open up AceOfSpades

Open up kvg folder

In the list of files there sould be one listed as "semi" that is the weapon file. Just drag-n-drop the gewehr weapon file over to the kvg folder and it will ask if you want to replace the semi file

click yes, and thats all there is to it!

@TheBest
it is going to look/sound ridiculous, but I will do it JUST FOR YOU!

what color do you want it to be?

Make it green. It's more environmental you know. +3 trend points

@TheBest

Here you go buddy! whenever you "fire" the lightsaber it will sound like you swung the lightsaber to deflect a laser, the tracer has been made red to look like a laser as well. When you reload it sounds like you put the lightsaber away and then take it out again once it is finished reloading. I hope you like it!

Works like a charm.

Any way you could get me a .wav of the lightsaber clashing? I decided to make the saber-rifle into a saber-pickaxe because, well, it's a melee weapon so it makes more sense. And I get to swing it about and the shooting sound doesn't really mix.

If you want a project, do a blaster-rifle. Something like this:

Anyways, thanks for the good work and effort you put in! Ps. this game needs some stormtrooper suits.

Edit, my god it's easy to spot blues when they have a huge green lightsaber for a rifle. Almost feels like cheating.

:Love this!!
D It looks so much better than old ones too. Try a pick one?

@TheBest

Here you go buddy, this version is an improved lightsaber design. Its skinnier and you can use the lightsaber for the shovel/pickaxe. The swooshing noises have been changed for shovel and pickaxe, and whenever you hit a block with your "lightsaber" it makes a fuzzy clash noise like when a lightsaber hits something in the movies.

I might get working on a blaster design soon...just wish we could change the iron-sights image to match the weapon reskins.

this is so cool im definately using it :D

Awesome i just downloaded it and ima try it out! Thanks. do you think you can make like a civil war era gun or even a sniper. If you can i will love you and a wooded color or dark green would be nice!!!

Everybody post what you think of the lightsaber after trying it out, I enjoy constructive criticism and will do whatever to improve my design

I have also added a starwars intro theme to the mod pack as well, and have extra player textures for characters to look like jedi, and the intels are data disks. The grenades look like thermal detonators and the pin noise is replaced by a beep

please post if anybody would be interested in this!

one thing though is how do you put in the sounds?

oh wait i just figured it out

Im trying out the lightsaber right now. I'll tell u if its good.

umm the lightsaber didnt seem to work for me. Is it a different way to put it in or the same way as the gewehr?

Also one more thing. What program do you use (like paint, paint.net) to make the skins. Cause i would like to help create skins for the guns and characters!

@TheOperator

Of course you should release such an awesome Star Wars pack.

@Trizaxx

Lightsaber works fine.

@trixazz

semi, spade, and pickaxe are all the same lightsaber design. All you have to do is drag-n-drop all three of the files included in the download to the kv6 folder in your ace of spades program file and click "yes to all " when asked to replace them (you might wanna copy the current kv6 files in case you either don't like the model, or want to switch back for some reason)

also the tool used is called slab6
http://advsys.net/ken/download.htm

^just scroll down through the downloads until you find where it says slab6 (I think its the third program down) there are some tutorials on how to fine and edit the kv6 files once you have the program opened, but its a pretty simple program to use, and you don't have to worry about screwing anything up as long as you dont save whatever you are working on before its perfect.

Wohoo! Really looks nice. I've changed the saber's color, so my pickaxe is green, my spade red and my semi blue.
Now go on and make a proper skin for the players, make a nice starwars gun and a nade. :)

@green_beret

I have made the things you are talking about, except for the blaster. It is currently the lightsaber still, but will update things further in future updates

just look for my starwars mod pack topic
