[MOD] (Alpha 8) EMP pistol

[keenriser]

EMP Pistol

Description:
This is basically an experiment to see if I could make the fight between my colonists and the Mechanoids more even.

The EMP pistol works as advertised, however the Mechanoids quickly become immune vs EMP. It's a pistol, so the drawback is that you have to get in close to get the shot in while it does stun the mechanoids for a little while. Hopefully long enough for your R4-wielding kill squad to finish the job. I have created some custom graphics for both the pistol and projectile. 

A drawback is that pirates may spawn with the EMP pistol as well, disabling your turrets. Any kind of feedback on my first mod is appreciated!

An EMP pistol/rifle would be more than a great addition to the game

A new graphic for the weapon and projectile would be a must tho

[keenriser]

I'm not much of an artist, but I'll do my best

Maybe I'll even throw in a new sound effect (but don't get your hopes up too high ;-))

When I first started out, I could hardly figure out how textures work, much less draw them

The community here makes it really easy to learn

Looking forward to watching this progress

Cool I hope you an emp rifles as well

[keenriser]

It would be very easy to make an EMP rifle as well, but I didn't want to make the game TOO easy ;-)

All right guys! I finally had some time and updated the mod with new graphics! The screenshot above shows a colonist carrying the weapon, the EMP pulse (near the top right turret) and the pistol on the ground in the bottom right.

It is however, still a pistol and not a rifle. I feel it would be a bit too easy if it were a rifle.
I also created a new sound for the pistol, but have not been able to get Rimworld to load it.
UPDATE: Fixed the sound problem

Feedback is welcome!

[keenriser]

My bad, I forgot that links are case-sensitive. It should work now

[Evul]

That is cool!
Never thought about that ^^

I like the idea !
But i "made" another sprite for the pistol because i like when it's vanilla-like
Thx for the mod !

That looks way better than my paint skills ;-)

Do you mind if I include your graphic with the mod?

[temporaryname]

Of course !
Do with you want, it's for everyone

I love the idea of pirates can disable the turrets but the range is too short, they never can fire one single bullet x)
I can try make a sniper EMP sprite if you want ? :x

Sorry for my bad english, it is not my native language :s

Edit: Like this !

I made the EMP Sniper Rifle "mod" based on your work and my sprite :p
You can add this in your mod too if you want.

Work pretty fine for me
Thx again for your work

Sorry for the somewhat delayed response, I have been traveling (and will do some more from Friday on). I have some time tomorrow night and I'll try to include both your new sprite and the sniper rifle (I'll make it a seperate download though so it's easy to enable/disable .

Cheers and thanks again for your great sprites!
