Adapted from Id Software and SargeantMarkIV.Sprite Edit: OKgo5555Idea Base: M16's from various video games. I wanted to make an M16 that felt like it fit in the OG DooM IWADS.Description:This is a more Vanilla DooM styled M16 Assault Rifle. It shoots in COD style 3-round bursts and is fully automatic when holding down the trigger.Sprite: https://imgur.com/a/e9vRDqZ Drive Link:

It's well made, but I don't see what's not vanilla about the current M16 , besides the modern sound effect.

After every shot, you should give it an ammo checking function, so it stops from firing if it runs out of ammo:

TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("weapons/chngun", CHAN_WEAPON)
TNT1 A 0 A_GunFlash("Flash2")
M16A B 3 Bright A_FireBullets(2, 2, 1, (20), "M16Puff")
TNT1 A 0 A_CheckReload

Replace the "Chaingun replaces Chaingun" with "Weapon", and check a typo in one of the firing functions, because it throws a warning message.

Thank you for the feeback. Your response was the nicest, most constructive response I've ever received for just about anything Doom related. haha

Personally, I think the spritework, muzzle flash, and "feel" of the current M16 could be improved on. YMMV.

If I'm being perfectly honest, I don't particularly love the sprites. It feels like it's angled to the right slightly, and the muzzle flashes once for 3 shots.

Great gun though, can't wait to see more from you!

You are correct. The gun is slightly offest to the right so as to match with the vanilla weapons. The midpoint pixel is approximately corresponding to the mid point of the Chaingun and Shotgun weapon sprites.

As for the weapon Sprite itself, I think it matches the art style of Doom better than most. I don't particularly *love* the DooMGuy hands from the alpha and beta either, but Kevin McCloud has not answered my DM's to model his arms for me in DeluxePro Paint So, to try to keep a consistent look, I try to repurpose assets that Id has already made.

The muzzle flash is a similar issue. Regardless of my taste and preference, the aim was to emulate what an m16 would look like in DooM if Id put one in the original game. So, if you check the Id animation frames, the Plasma rifle flashes LESS that once per shot and the shotgun, SSG, and pistol all flash MORE THAN ONCE per shot. Also, there are 3 gunflashes happening every time- one for each bullet. They are vanilla gun flashes that I orientated and edited into a m16 style "cross" pattern and different frames of that muzzle flash play in different orders each time a bullet is shot. Each bullet has its own muzzle flash and each muzzle flash was made to animate into the others when selected by RNG at random. There is no "blank" frame without a muzzle flash for a bullet because that is not how Id handled their guns that shoot bullets.

Like I said. Its always a subjective matter of taste. Personally, this was just my attempt to emulate the 1993 style that Id out out there, originally.

I think you'll like this very much:

You forgot to include A_CheckReload on the other firing sequences.

EDIT: I forgot to ask, does SgtMark allow the use of resources from VietDoom? I know the model was made by Luchador , but he modified the graphics to fit in Doom, and permissions aren't specified in the text files.

This is all I could find in VietDooM itself. VietDoom hasn't had any movement or mention since 2019.

The Doom Arm is from the Doom Alpha and I had to redo the Doom Hand entirely based off that. All the muzzle flash is entirely me. Also, I made significant changes to the profile and charqacter of some of the M16 "model" itself as just using Sgt Mark's didn't look exactly how I nwanted or do exactly as I needed.

sorry for spamming the edits. The board kept freaking out on me and I was unintentionally submitting and not submitting the stuff I wanted to before. Weird.

You should ask him for permission then
