Single Barrel Shotgun

Added a version with a hand. I really didn't think it was necessary since the original super shotgun didn't have one: http://www.m*diafire.com/file/vgu7fhgo6axyxk4/SingleBarrel.zip

It's pretty hard for me to stomach shotguns, not with the sea of shotguns we already have on the repository. This weapon seems very generic, it doesn't use new sounds, nor new sprites (I know, they're edits of the super shotgun, but they're not all-new). If this weapon made me go like "Wow! this shotgun is awesome to use, I love it!" or something, I'd have considered it...

I think it's an interesting edit of the super shotgun and could potentially work as an alternative, but I think some new sounds would be good for it. Perhaps something that doesn't sound as powerful as the super shotgun since it's only one barrel?

Good idea! Here's a version with the shotgun sound from quake: http://www.m*diafire.com/file/vgu7fhgo6axyxk4/SingleBarrel.zip. I think it fits very nicely.

you'll need to sync the sound with the barrel loading.

It's synced with the shell entering the chamber.

Here's an updated "ready sprite" link: http://imgur.com/bp0wMbq

I personally think the Quake shotgun firing sound is a bit wimpy. It does sync up a bit better than I'd expect, though. If it was my decision...and feel free to take this with a grain of salt...I'd keep the SSG reload sounds, but use a new firing sound, perhaps even from another shotgun. I like the ones from the Smasher (which is from Quake II) and the Duke Shotgun (which has multiple sounds for variation).

You could do with a better sprite for your shotgun.. That one just doesn't compare with the quality of the other weapons in the repo.. That said however, your free to use this thing I whipped up 5 minutes ago if you want:

Its not much, but its at least something to work with, perspective wise.

Also, if your gonna use any sound related to quake for a shotgun, consider getting painkeep (mod for quake), and grabbing the exploding shells shotgun sound, and add a little bit of bass to it using audacity to beef it up a little.... Infact, theres an idea for you to spice things up a bit, exploding shells

Edit2: Aaaand, I couldn't help myself.. I modified the sound from painkeep, and replaced the idle sprite with my one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3lmkr7td8ukuxey/SingleBarrel.wad?dl=0 Its up to you if you want to use it or not.

Thanks for the sprite, I'll whip up a version with it after lunch.
