Well honestly I think it suits well, the weapon is supposed to be a heavy weapon in comparison to the SMG I think the sounds are nice too sounds alot more powerful but still sounds familiar which is nice the animations are good too I like how its hard to see the hand while idle which is pretty true to the original without him one handing it, I also like the new reload alot. Its the best custom interpretation of the gun ive seen and the only thing I would change is add a 3 pronged particle effect to the muzzle also reduce the effect a bit so it doesnt get in the way, that is literally my only complaint otherwise I think the entire pack (which is supposed to be a re-envisioning of the hl2 weapons not a fucking clone of them) is coming out really damn nice.
[QUOTE=A_Pigeon;43926243]It's not an irifle any more, and the multi shot pellets are a signature of the ar2
the ar2's tristar is 3 strider autocannon impacts rotated i believe
Here, this sums up my issues with the model:

The thing marked "THIS" is likely the badly textured box shaped thing seen here in roughly the same spot:

Also none of the models (save the default) have the separated front half which consists of a top and bottom, and the first one doesn't have the distinct front/back at all (let alone front top and bottom):

[QUOTE=A_Pigeon;43926581]wait juniez's ar2 isnt enhancements?[/QUOTE]
Nope, Juniez doesn't even work on the mod (he is a tester though), that's his and Mr. Brightside's model pack.
I did try to get him on the team a few times over the course of a year, but he didn't seem to be too interested in doing models for it.
Oh, if his model is a placeholder go ahead and do whatever the fuck you want then Juniez, i was just worried that was the ar2 going into the mod
Say when it's a placeholder next time
:suicide:

It's not even a placeholder :v:
Also as for the reload, I feel like you should hold the right with your left hand, and grab the magazine by the middle - top and remove it.
I wonder why is it that valve doesn´t bother much with consistency among some of their games
so can we take lessons learnt and start the enhancement ar2?

Is it weird I found that exact same prop earlier today and saved it for reference for making the model? :v:
I made the sounds but please don't stop hurting my feelings
[QUOTE=xalener;43927439]I made the sounds but please don't stop hurting my feelings[/QUOTE]
The sounds are great, man. It's just that they don't sound enough like the original AR2 to fit the AR2.
It's almost like I didn't like the original and decided to change it
[I]holy shit[/I]
But in all seriousness, these are all sounds I made for myself and only myself. I released them because I hate it when people make mods and don't make their shit public. It undermines what mods are all about. I figured "those who want it will take it"
Next thing I know Juniez wanted help making sounds for the standalone weapons pack and I'm like "eh, well I did already do some"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also I just want to reiterate
[QUOTE=xalener;43900969]Don't ever argue about the proportions of Half Life weapons.
Because there are none.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=xalener;43927439]I made the sounds but please don't stop hurting my feelings[/QUOTE]
Read my comments lol.
Also that cosplay AR is really nice, I like the idea for the magazine too.
well I hope you understand most of my criticisms were because i thought that was the enchancement's ar2.
Sorry bout offending you guys.
[QUOTE=Fat-Corgi-Guy;43922413]Ok now with those new sounds and effects it makes it even less like the AR2- seriously if I saw it and didn't know what it was suppossed to be I would've guessed it was just some tacticool heavy space gun thing, not the AR2 from HL2.[/QUOTE]Funny, that's how I feel [I]looking[/I] at it.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;43903369]Anyway, what I said here was one way I could see the AI being improved is how they react to the Gravity Gun. If the player picks up an explosive barrel with the Gravity Gun, they should shoot at it. Alternatively, if he picks up a physics object of any kind, they should throw grenades at him in order to force a reaction from the player (the player cannot move quickly or toss them back, unless they discards the object they picked up). I also mentioned they should fire semi-automatically at long range, burst fire at mid range, full auto at close range, and mag dump at hug range.[/QUOTE]For some reason I'm reminded of this old picture:
[IMG]http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r132/KatzenAZ/1156976650329.jpg[/IMG]
Speaking of the sound, are you gonna go with the 'tac tac tac tac' for third person and 'thumpthumpthumpthump' for first person or are you going to pick one for both?
[QUOTE=Juniez;43925992]yes and it's not in the ar2's particle list and also not in the weapons folder and also not in any gcf[/QUOTE]
This might be late, but you can get the 3-prong muzzleflash by adding this event to the fire sequence in the model's QC file:
[QUOTE]{ event AE_NPC_MUZZLEFLASH 0 "COMBINE MUZZLE" }[/QUOTE]
There's no particle system for it because the effect is hard-coded in C++.
Just thought I'd put that out there.
People shouldn't complain if this mod never gets finished with the amount of nitpicking in this thread.

Woah, that's awesome. I finally understand how the ar2 magazines work.
Right tho, let's all agree to use mag.
[QUOTE=xalener;43933704]Right tho, let's all agree to use mag.[/QUOTE]
You should have to load each ar2 pellet individually like a shotgun obviously.
That could work if each pellet could be used 30 times like in the original.
as an alternative to a detachable magazines, the AR2 could use stripper clips. or maybe ammo belts that get pulled into the magazine via magnets.

I think it would be inconsistent, they were too different from each other, it should be different only when is distant.
I remember long ago, I made an ar2 and pistol shoot sound that everyone did like
DISCLAIMER: NONE OF THE SKINS AND STUFF ARE PART OF THE MOD
[video=youtube;2A4kTdwjIaw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A4kTdwjIaw[/video]
The sounds that people didn´t like, such as the explosions in this first prev were changed and I showed them in previews afterwards, I think corgi has all the aproved sounds... do you still corgi? I want to know cuz I didn´t upload things myself to the svn so I wouldn´t mess anything up
More old previews,
DISCLAIMER: sounds that weren´t good enough or didn´t fit were discarded

[i]Dark Energy fusion-microgenerator[/i] powered magnets.
maybe you could just feed the ar2 watermelon chunks as a reload
bring it back to the op4 basics
I spoke to mr brightside and he´d actually like to join us, I asked him if he could do player and npc animations as we´ll have full body awareness for first person, he said he could try it out, with some guidance, he could make the anims we want.
He´ll be gone for some time for vacations though, but he will talk to us when he comes back
Teh snake also found the proposal to make models for us interesting, with the project being greenlit on steam, but hasn´t agreed yet, hopefully, he will.
