Outdated Cain's Rifles 1.5

Tiered hunting rifles

  1. Master Cain
    My first full mod, adds six hunting rifles into the game:
    .22 varmit rifle
    7mm rifle
    .30-06 rifle
    .416 Rigby rifle
    .50 cal rifle
    Elephant rifle (.700 Nitro express)

    they can be crafted in your "c" menu, first rifle (.22) requires glass, wood planks, and iron, then you upgrade it to the next rifle (7mm) with iron and pixels (to resemble switching out or overboring the barrel and replacing or converting the chamber/mechanisms), and so on, switching to steel and adding more glass occasionally.

    They are meant to kill standard mobs of the same tier or lower in one shot, going up 2 tiers per rifle. however, i have not done testing at higher levels, and would like feedback on average health amounts from mobs by tier.

    rifles function as hunting bows, meaning they cause mobs to drop leather and meat.

    rifle sprites are custom built off of vanilla model parts, and meant to resemble bolt action hunting rifles. they use vanilla sounds, but each rifle uses a different sound. i attempted to customize the sound to the caliber, so only a few use vanilla sniper rifle sounds

    Installation:
    1 unzip
    2 drop in mods folder
    3 play

    Known bugs:
    they have not been fully balanced damage-wise
    they have not been fully balanced energy-use-wise (still trying to figure out how to change this more exactly, the energy use modifier is not straightforward from what i can tell)
    muzzle flash happens inside the barrel of most rifles
    rifle is held around the clip


    To do:
    balance damage and energy use
    move muzzle flash on most guns
    change where the rifle is gripped

    add more rifles (let's hear the suggestions in the discussion)
    rework sprites-if mod is popular enough
    create custom muzzle flash for 50 cal's muzzle brake

    If you have any tips, hints, suggestions, ideas, bug issues, etc, click on the discussion tab and let's hear them

    i will not be updating this mod for a while as college has made me very busy. i haven't even patched to the new version yet O_O until i do anyone may use this mod and it's assets in their own work or fixes, just please give me a hat tip for any of my work you use

    Yay, huntging becomes more fun with this! Nicely done, could you make an even lower tier rifle like an airgun? And maybe a screenshot that display the different ones =)? cheers
