Nintendo Light Gun/Zapper (Unfinished project)

[Daedra]

So a long time ago... in a galaxy not so far away, I still owned Jedi Academy and had an older PC. A mod I had spent a lot of time perfecting, was a modded weapon for a Nintendo NES Zapper/Light Gun. The last I remember of this mod is that I had everything perfected, effects wise. The weapon has complete custom sounds that are accurate to how it should be, and even makes the correct "dissolve" sound effect when you hit another living person and the correct "thud" sound when you hit anything that isn't living, together with nice visual effects.

It was supposed to replace the bryar pistol, even the visual icons for the weapon select hud are complete, and I even added the crosshair from the NES Duck Hunt game (that the Nintendo Light Gun is used for).

The only part of it that was left to do was to get the gun model done and it would've been complete and ready to share. Unfortunately I could not get the help I needed on the actual gun model (people I asked were understandably busy with other projects and those who said they would help never got around to doing so), and I've since moved on, so I'm sharing this 95% complete mod here and now.

All of the files are there. The only thing required to do is to create the necessary model folder and port the model file included in the download, creating the .glm gun model and the 1st person .md3 gun model that needs doing. After that it's 100% done.

I share it here in the possible hope that someone might finish it by completing the gun model. Everything else is 100% done otherwise. All I ask is to anyone who does complete it is to please give me credit when/if uploaded to the proper JK Hub Files/downloads.

Sounds like a great mod. Could you provide some screenshots or videos? Once other members know what your project looks like so far, it's more likely that they will pick it up.

Unfortunately I don't have any screenshots or footage. This was a mod I was making back on my old PC when I still owned Jedi Academy. I have a new PC and no longer own Jedi Academy in order to run the game with the compiled .pk3 to show off the effects etc.

Perhaps someone with a copy of the game can do a small video showing off the crosshair, HUD icon and the visual effects and custom sounds.

Edit: Just went through my really old DM's and found 2 images:

One of the crosshair:

 

Based on this version of NES Duck Hunt where the crosshair actually turned "red" when you hovered on the target:

And the HUD icons:

 

I don't have anything to show for the visual and audio effects of the gun, that would require a video.

Why don't you buy it on Steam? It's so laughably inexpensive these days that the money you will spend on it won't hurt your bank account.

Excuse the recording, it has gone to the top left but it still serves its purpose.

Shows the visual effects and the sound effects etc.
