I don't see any pictures....and there are plenty of tutorials available online to help you achieve your goal. Try certain specialized wiki pages or YouTube for animated visual aides. Good luck!!

I don't know much about modding, but I do know that you'll have to use an editor to substitute the original sprites of the freezeray with the images you provided us with. Also, since the freezeray uses projectile attack method by default, you'll need to modify the behavior of it to fit more accordingly with that of a chainsaw. I think a closer switch might be that of the mighty foot considering its close-proximity damage range, but I'm sure you can also alter the freezeray to act like a melee weapon sans excessive hassle. Hopefully one of the seasoned experts here can chime in and expound upon my rather vague instructions. Again, best of luck...and I'm looking forward to seeing the results!

I know you have big ambitions for making a TC because I have seen your other threads.

There was a time when I knew nothing about coding or modding Duke, but I had the good sense to start small and work my way up. The first thing I did was look around in GAME.CON and try to make sense of it, then I made some simple edits to the monsters so that some pigcops would fire rockets and the some enforcers would fire freezers. I did simple stuff which only required changing a few lines of code. Eventually it turned into a mod, and my coding became more sophisticated.

Adding a weapon to the game that functions differently from the existing weapons is not a good starting point for a novice. It's not just hard for you, it's also hard for anyone trying to help you because you need so much information and so much explained to you. As far as I know, there is no tutorial for this which would make sense to someone at your current level.
