Whats the feedback so far? What should be changed? Edit: Ok I made a bunch of changes. I also fixed a balls up in the scripts which made the NF shotgun a lot better than BE's Code: "Damage" "12" // damage per bullet //was 10 in RC3 "Bullets" "10" // bullets per shoot //was 8 in RC3 "CycleTime" "1" // time between shoots "Falloff" "425" // distance at which bullet strength has dropped to 85% (damage decreases linearly) //was 400 in 2.5rc3 "Falloffbase" "0.9" // Falloff Base default 0.85 "MinimalDamage" "7" // bullet will always deal this amount of damage even after damage decrease //was 3 in RC3 "SemiAutomatic" "1" "Fire Interrupts Reload" "1" "Reloads Singly" "1" "Damage Head Modifier" "1.6" "Damage Chest Modifier" "1" "Damage Stomach Modifier" "1" "Damage Left Arm Modifier" "0.7" "Damage Right Arm Modifier" "0.7" "Damage Left Leg Modifier" "0.7" "Damage Right Leg Modifier" "0.7" // Weapon data is loaded by both the Game and Client DLLs.

I'll ask candles to update with this script when he gets online and then we can take it from there
It's hard to tell because it's intentionally non-functional. It needs reload cancelling, but I expect that's coming soon. I like the current cycle time. If I was throwing shit out there, I'd buff damage 50%. That's probably not enough, but it's likely playable.

Updated OP with an updated script. I've asked candles to release this when he gets up. Note that when moving at maxspeed the accuracy of the NF shotgun is slightly reduced. The BE shotgun is significantly increased (drawing it into line). It's likely that further changes will be made in future.
Ewww, don't differentiate in a "hidden" way. Both shotguns hold the same number of shells. They both have the same cycle time and the same reload time. To a typical player, they look identical. Fucking with accuracy is shady. If you want to differentiate them, give the NF shotgun like 2 extra shells and like 2 fewer pellets/shell. That's visible and clear to everyone playing. We don't need spreadsheetpires where everyone has to look up the scripts to figure out wtf is going on.
... Thats what I've been doing. I said both there and in the scripts I was bringing them both into line. But in this case bringing it into line was somewhere between the 2 (closer to the stronger one) And not just in one place either:
Decided to add another +2 to damage and +1 to minimum damage. Maybe still going to be a bit weak but will be massively better than it is at the minute
Request: Tighten spread, make the angle the pellets come out random, so if you want it less accurate the spread is still the same, but they'll come out at a different angle. That way the shotgun can be useful at mid range (if stationary + crouched) but it's still good up close. It's a better solution than dynamically changing the total spread which makes no sense lool
