This is great! +10

[ANAND]

As the mod is now somewhat functional, I've created a pre-release for easy testing. https://content.minetest.net/packages/A ... /download/

I've encountered this myself quite a few times, I'll look into it.

[StarNinjas]

Thanks.

[ANAND]

Updates!

• The fire function aborts if stack is nil, avoiding the error described here.
• The gun definition field style_of_fire has been renamed to mode.
• Some firing modes have been renamed for consistency and factual accuracy:
  • semi-automatic --> hybrid
    
  • manual --> semi-automatic
• A new firing mode has been introduced: manual. Manual guns are truly manual, as in they have to be manually loaded after each shot. This can be used for guns like bolt-action sniper rifles, for example.

As usual, I've created a pre-release on CDB for those who prefer that to downloading from GitHub.

[StarNinjas]

How do you even shoot?
I keep clicking left and right mouse button but nothing happens:(

lol, sorry. I forgot to rename style_of_fire field in the gun's definition to mode. Fixed now.

[StarNinjas]

Okay hope it works lol

[ANAND]

Updates!

- Fix a potential crash.
- Set firing mode of `gunslinger:cheetah` to `burst` until `automatic` mode is fixed.
- Use particles for visual feedback of projectile path.

Created another release as usual.

After a long delay, gunslinger has gotten a ton of bugs fixed, some of them by sparky/Elkien3 (thanks!). Here's a list of major bug-fixes and improvements brought forward by the latest pre-release: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... /v0.10-pre

The recent increase in the attention this mod has been getting has also inspired me to work on https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger/issues/12, which is guaranteed to add a lot of realism at the cost of a negligible performance hit.

[ANAND]

v0.11 has been released!

• Potential crash due to undefined variables `base_dmg` and `def.dmg_mult` has been fixed.
• A technique called "Deferred Raycasting" has been used for mimicking projectile entity behaviour without using entities. This greatly improves realism while keeping performance hit at a minimum.

See here for the full changelog: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... .v0.11-pre

[ANAND]

v0.12 has been released

• Added API support for more sounds.
• Added more sounds.

See here for the full changelog: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... .v0.12-pre

[ANAND]

v0.13 and v0.14 released!

See here for full changelog: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... .v0.14-pre

[ANAND]

Important bugfix.

See here for the full changelog: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... .v0.15-pre

(Expect ammo to be implemented in the next pre-release. :tada:)

[ANAND]

v0.16 released!

- We have ammo! :tada:
- Current placeholder ammo texture taken from `shooter` mod by stujones11.
- Guns can choose to register custom ammo by passing the item name to field `ammo` in gun definition.
- Guns can also set a reload time by defining `reload_time` field in gun definition. Defaults to 3s to match default reload sound.

See here for the full changelog: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... .v0.16-pre

Here's the list of things to do before v1.0.0 can be released: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger/milestone/1

[ANAND]

v0.17 released!

- We have support for multiple pellets per-round! Yay, shotguns!
- New field pellets to define number of pellets per-round.
- Guns can now implement inaccuracy by defining the spread_mult field (defaults to 0).
- Minor improvements and bug-fixes.

See here for the full changelog: https://github.com/ClobberXD/gunslinger ... .v0.17-pre

[ANAND]

v0.18 released!
