Need a modeler?
Mattn:
for mulitplayer it's fine to have more weapons. But for singleplayer it's up to winter to include new ones. And as he said, alien weapons are still needed (though you have to ask him for specs)
Mattn:
ah btw. if you model weapons, please also model the ammo boxes
Mattn:
they are exported now and are in our svn - if someone wants to create the ufo script values for the new weapons.... (but only for multiplayer - at least the xaw5 weapon - not sure about the recoil weapon)
we need entries in equipment.ufo and weapon_*.ufo as well as research.ufo
the best would be to copy the chaingun and search the ufo script files for the chaingun entries - (because this weapon is multiplayer only, too)

The Coilgun uses the same ammo as the bolter.
Teh vindicator ammo Box is part of the weapons model.
It's a 2 minute job to detach it and save is as a separate model...hmm..alltough It uses the 256x256 texture of the weapon for the ammo box too (currently). Shouldn't be a problem tough, since you won't have the ammo and not the weapon on screen anyway.
So, the alien needler gun is needed next.. Fires big needles, sleek weapon, big ammo box? O.k., I'm on it! Aliens needs some luv too :D .. After all, veriety is the spice of life! ;)
EDIT: Are the weapons exported and scaled properly?
If so, I'll make a test run of them..give them some basic stats and descriptions. Jsut got to get hooked up to the SVN and D/L them back :)
Bloody hell, which is the latest SVN branch? ???
EDIT2: Hm.. I just noticed the weapon isn't exported to md2. Looks like I'll have to do it..I gotta look into proper scaling, orientation and other exportation specifics first...
EDIT3:
There aren't any good instruction on weapon exporting...Don't weapons need to be properly aligned and scaled? There has to be some way to mark where the weapon should be help (grip)

Ok, then we can just copy the model

They are exported and scaled properly (or at least should be - i haven't tested them in-game) - see http://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ufoai?view=rev&revision=17018

What do you need to export them? Maybe we can update the wiki article to show all the relevant information.
Basically i import existing models and scale the new weapon models like the old one. The orientation of the weapons was correct (the 3ds files you sent)
