SR4 has given us a truly wonderful system: the weapon customization system. Now aesthetics and weapon functionality no longer need to be directly linked. Hell, if you want you can subvert the whole thing entirely, what with the rubber band gun SMG or the super soaker rifle.
So with that in mind, I'm wondering how hard it would be to import the SR3 weapon models as "skins" for SR4 weapons. I know it should be possible, since the models are roughly the same format between the two games. Unfortunately, I've got only minimal experience modding either game so far, and the complexity involved is a bit beyond what I'm capable of right now.
Anyway, if someone is interested in giving this a shot, the basic idea would be to just line up the weapons by approximate type. KA-1 Kobra would be a skin for the Quickshot Pistol, .45 Shepherd a skin for the Heavy Pistol, TEK-10 a skin for the Heavy SMG, Cyber Blaster a skin for the Alien SMG, etc. etc. etc.
At the very least if someone could do just one of these and outline the steps I might be able to finish the job myself.
