Desperation [C2 Mod] [/w Download] [WIP], Simple and Straightforward

DESPERATION



Hello Carnivores Community,

I've been here for quite a while, however I haven't done much in the way of Carnivores, so a few days ago I decided to take my hand into a bit of Carnivores Modding! (specifically Carnivores 2)

I'm creating modified versions of current Carnivores 2 content with the goal to reinvigorate the Carnivores Fan within you!

DOWNLOAD

Here's the download:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?064sy649qm1udi4

INSTALLATION

Simply extract the .zip anywhere you want, and then run Desperation.exe

DESCRIPTION

This isn't just a _RES.txt edit, no, there are new .car files with new textures, and new sounds to suit all of the weapons. Those darn 16-bit uncompressed Targa images are included!

Other changes include price changes to the maps and the accessories, this is mainly to change the Carnivores experience! NO longer will you find yourself repeatedly using the same map just so you can afford better stuff.

It is simple, indeed, but nevertheless, I hope you all enjoy!

Very nice! I like the shotgun.

The guns could use perhaps more unique textures, yes. I hope to develop this furthur.

Perhaps a sniper pistol or something of the sort?

EDIT: I've run into a little problem (actual ran into it before, though)

This is a little strange. If I add a 9th weapon to the RES, the name of that weapon suddenly becomes the default name for a new profile when you start the game!

If I choose that name and make a new account:

The name of the 9th weapon is proper in the menu, no errors of any kind

If I don't make a new account and use an already existing one:

The name of the profile I chose becomes the name of the 9th weapon, the weapon's information, including the text and the stats, are not displayed.


Would anyone like to enlighten me regarding this issue?

That problem is not fixable I am afraid.
BTW, I made a scoped pistol skin for the sniper rifle awhile ago, if you want to use it and add new sounds that is fine with me.

I went ahead and changed the texture for the auto-shotgun, the colors are kind of random but it looks pretty cool to me:



I also changed the reload sound.

So there can't be more than 8 guns. . . ah well.

And thanks, IBC, i'd love to use it.


Plan: Reskin/rename/restat/resound existing weapons.

Wow, sweet rifle.

The Deer Rifle, replacing the pistol:



I also made a Desert Eagle, replacing the rifle, but there isn't much to show about the pistol texture-wise.

Both have custom fire and reload sounds!

Next: Sniper Pistol

OMG, That's awesome. I actually dropped the deck of cards I was holding when I saw that.

Here's the newest video:

Includes the Deer Rifle, Desert Eagle, and Sniper Pistol. Something happened to a clip in the middle, and now when I play back the clip through my editing software, I get weird errors that look like I'm rewinding a VHS tape. Weird.

You have talent.

Does the shottie have the same hitbox as the original? If so, Can I use it for my mod? Been looking for a semi auto shotgun for a while.

You have talent.

If I may ask, talent modding or playing the game?

The auto-shotgun is just a retextured, resounded, restated rifle. Nothing about the model has changed, if that's what you mean.

And sure you can use it! I'll re-upload the mod so you can get the most recent texture!

Very nice weapons! I love the way you have edited the Carnivores weapon sound effects for these.

Both.

Both.

1. Thanks for that!

2. I contemplated on what to do next.

3. I decided the name the mod "Carnivores: Customizable"

4. I made a ModDB page: http://www.moddb.com/mods/carnivores-customizable

5. I uploaded the latest version to ModDB: http://www.moddb.com/mods/carnivores-customizable/downloads

6. I request that this be moved to a different forum.



Plan:

1. update first post in this topic.

2. Re-do the Shotgun, DB Shotgun, and X-Bow

3. Re-do the main menu ambient sound.

4. Start messing with them chordates!
