If I may make a suggestion, for the love of god, make a proper hud icon for the weapon. Seriously, whenever we have awesome weapons like this using placeholder hud icons it just ruins the weapon for me.

How hard is it to edit a single character in a font?

pretty big words from someone that I don't know and for a topic that is far from being implemented or being done

There's this thing called priorities, and a weapon icon is something that isn't mandatory for a weapon to work. Of course it rounds it up, but when you're low on time/ team members, its something that you can skip and push back, those icons take time to make too.

But since we have an experienced 2D artist on our Team now who recently just learned how to do this, we probably won't have any more missing weapon icons.

Didn't mean to be negative, just saying it would be nice O.O

I could easily make a quick vtf file if you needed it, although I'm not sure how that would help with a font.

btw, vtfs are nothing to do with fonts, they're in TFF font format.

I tried but I couldnt even install the program that lets you make these things, I'd love a tutorial on installation and usage if anyone cares to.

I can say that without a shadow of a doubt that if the gun gets implemented officially, there will be a proper hud and kill icon for it. This goes for any custom weapons in the game, now that I know how to edit font files and make icons close to HL2 default.

A lot harder then it should be.

If I get any new information I will most certainly post it, I know there has been progress on the model(mesh and texture). Though I can't disclose any images, as I don't have permission or the images.

Well, I made this image to illustrate a point that the model has been updated. It shows the modifications to the model and shows that 95% of the texture is built from the ground up. This image was posted on facepunch in the media release thread, so I see no reason not to post it here.

lol i take it the one with the 4 on it got customised like the turrets in ep2. nice shark mouth.

I like the Higher Definition materials on the main body, but I think the two handles kinda of take away from the rest of it, too much contrast (or something). Maybe add some rust/wear?
Other then that, do want.

P.S.
The blue streaks in between the barrel guards on the original model glow in the dark, and it looks so sexy. Is that carrying over?

P.S.S
Will it be firing bullets/pulse shots, or a laser like the ep2 version? Cause I tried to make something like this is Gmod recently, and I could not for the life of me find that one god damned laser material >.<

Ion Rifle or Plasma Rifle?, this is just the name, not anything that effects the weapon it's self, and acording the the sound files, it's proper name is Ion.
