A while ago I received permission from Ian to use Marathon:Red Texture, sprites, weapons, etc in WMaiD as long as credit was given - the nice guy he is.
Last night, using only Graphic Converter, I merged the single-pistol top/bottoms of the Red Marine in the bulky armor into a single monster.
This is to implement an type of UESC shock trooper in WMaiD. The Rubicon AR are still in the scenario, but they're not exactly vacuum friendly. : )
Thus, I've incorporated this Red Submachinegun-like Pistol into WMaiD.
Could you let me know Yoss, via diagrams or description how this weapon would need to be altered (how it's described on the HUD, and/or physically) for it to avoid your any future criticism in WMaiD?
Mark, again a great job. I always thought the crushing platform was my fault. Now I can sleep easier knowing it was Ian's. ; )
