[A12] RimEffect (22-08-2015 v25) A12 Update

[Novellum]

Will you be adding in any more ME weapons?

I'm a big fan of Cerberus' white-yellow weapons. So my priorities are:

Raptor for sniper rifle, Talon for heavy pistol, Hornet for SMG. For a shotgun, maybe Graal.

What about a Widow, Mattock, or Paladin as higher powered options?

Mattock has been replaced by Harrier. I guess Widow is many people's favorite? I'll make it first than.

I would love to see geth weapons (maybe even geth faction too!).

[Latta]

(Finally) Added Widow sniper rifle. Included "Black" alternative texture! Go to the texture folder and replace widow.png with widowBlack.png



Avenger graphic revamped. Also, high tier weapons are now a bit cheaper.

[Giraffe]

What would be awesome is if you could make an alternate graphic or something for the tech shields, like a glowing silhouette instead of a bubble. I dunno how hard that would be to match the body types of pawns so that might even be in impossible thing though.

You know my over use of the Revenant in the ME multi can now take on a whole new level as it begins to seep into other games.

I would love to see some of the lower power but quicker shotguns along with the low powered rapid fire and multi-shot sniper rifles.  Definitely would help me more with the zombie games I've got going

I am wondering if there's going to be a comp. patch for Combat Realism, any chance?

I don't think so, because... it's SF! How should I make RE weapons' stat... no idea.
If someone says that s/he is going to make a patch for Combat Realism I will appreciate. But not myself.

[doomonion]

I would love to, I mean, I tried looking at it, but given a few days or weeks, I could probably come up with something that somewhat functions.
I think CR's author made it perfectly clear on how he converted vanilla weapons stats into CR stats, I could probably do the same while keeping ME weapons a lot better than vanilla counterparts.

Edit: I've been looking at other weapons mods too for CR compatibility, one thing that really gave me a migraine trying to port them was how the shotguns use different code in CR. Considering that this mod already uses that, so If I can get a frame of reference of how to edit it by looking at the comp. patch for Project armory and vanilla Project armory while cross-referencing them, I am almost certain that I can do this.

Now there are Katana(blade attached) shotguns! With much cheaper price, of course.

All stats were calculated via balance tables. I'm trying hard! But as it does not account burst count and range, feedbacks are welcomed.

So any chance this will be updated for A10?  I'm rather missing my Avenger.

[Latta]

A few more days!

[Latta]

Updated to 24, compatible with A10f.

[Dragoon]

How do me create tech shields XD?

[regenesis]

I only need this mood update to complete my gameplay Latta where are you???
