What stats does an LMG have? I don't know shit about weapons xd

I can't do much with system info, the performance of your PC depends on the system as whole, a comparison is needed to find out how fast something is, but ok. (it also doesn't matter what graphics card you have if it wasn't made before 2000, Voxlap is a software renderer)
The server lags much btw, that's why you have connection problems.

Being in World Wars, HMG would be a better alternative. The damage should be somewhere between 0.75 SMG and rifle, RoF roughly equals to SMG, maybe higher, shit accuracy, overheats. And yes, stationary.

[Zekamalikyd]

high damage slow reload medium-high rate of fire kinda shit accuracy and make it so you have to deploy bipod or smtn

[LeCom]

Basically something like Hompy's MGs? There was such a 4th weapon and I replaced it with the handcannon cause it sucked. I will try to change stats and swap it back if you want it that much. Bot at long time, it will be stationary (just may take some time to implement).

[MrHaaax]

Yes, much like hompy's. Mostly for suppresion fire of course, not for kills. Slow-paced, yes?
If you do separate block damage from player damage, make the HMG's block damage as high as the rifle.
EDIT: make it deployable. And add an sidearm, too. A revolver or a automatic that is roughly the same to modified SMG in the scripts that people use.

[Priok]

yeah, I think that would be good. I agree with sidearm too, but I don't think an automatic sidearm is necessary. something like a revolver or m1911 would be good; high damage with low rate of fire, accurate only in short ranges. maybe make it replace your grenades/binoculars or something. I don't think it's good to clutter the inventory, and a sidearm would be useless for some players anyway

I thought of a choice between pistol, nades, binoculars or similar

[Spidercooce]

I tried the test version and I think this shows a lot of promise :)
I also really love that you can turn up/down the rendering quality ingame

[MrHaaax]

Sorry, I meant a semi-automatic sidearm :P. But either high damage-low ammo/RoF ->revolver or low damage-high ammo/RoF -> a Colt. There should be one should there be deployable MGs.

[Spidercooce]

I really just want to see a mg42 at this point

[Priok]

I like the way you made the LMG so far, it seems like it'd be a lot of fun to use in a real match.

@spider, I was actually making an MG42 skin a while ago, but I'd need to edit it after doubling the dimensions for this game. there are probably already better MG42 skins available though, but I will post it once I fix it up a bit more

[tobi9sc]

the server is so laggy, i'm like rubberbanding, a us server would be great

also:

I opened the player_dead.kv6 and there's nothing

[LeCom]

Yes I was too lazy to make a player_dead.kv6 cause models change all the time and I would always have to make it new, so I just put an "empty" KV6 in.

The server is indeed a bit laggy, but it's not like there are enough people playing VXW to open another one somewhere else :P (btw ur on the philipines so you would lag either way)

I think we don't need automatic pistols or whatever, just one simple revolver. Tho' it's likely to be a scripted sidearm.

[MrHaaax]

Again, I meant 'semi-automatic' pistols. 'Automatics' as in semiauto. If I want full-auto, I'd had said 'machine pistol'.
That aside, the pistol should serve as a backup, just enough power to kill a guy who is chasing you. But for MG gunners, maybe a more powerful sidearm?
