Magnum-nauts

Amazing... Do you think you could make the USM9A1-7 flamethrower separate from this as its own mini-mod? Something like this was originally meant to be in the vanilla version of the game.

The images and sprites for it are all in vanilla still, just waiting to be activated - I'm pretty sure someone will do it soon. I'll post the code for it when I've cleaned it up a bit.

Right then, here's the version I've settled on:

The burst timing seems better here, and there's enough fire left over after the blast.

The weapons are going into the heavy explosives category, to keep the rpg-7 company. The progression will go: rpg-7, m9a1-7, handflammpatrone (disposable incendiary rocket), and finally, the Einstossflammenwerfer 46 - a one-shot flamethrower. The last two fit in the backpack, so there's fun for all the family. Here's the Einstoss:

It's trigger looks like a tongue. It fires from its left end, which looks the wrong way round.

So, playing around with animated projectiles, and it looks far better than the previous ones:

The fire/projectile is maybe a bit big (it's using the default size), I might make it smaller. But it definitely looks better.

Holy shit, that's amazing. Verbatim, those word just came out of my mouth.

Yeah. But they get better...

Removing the impact spectre makes them look even cooler. This'll be a double post, as we're limited to one video per post. First one is standard flames, without impact spectre:

And second is the standard explosion animation sequence (but with orange instead of yellow flames), without an impact spectre. This is my favourite - the smoke makes it look realistic.

That's probably the worst angle to view it from. From the side, it looks like the smoke and flames are licking the aliens, due to the lack of impact spectre. They get all twitchy.

Wow. Imagine clearing an Ufo with that !

Awesome flamethrower! !

I love it!

I love this kind of projectile

Is more suited and wonderfull!

Sometime in the future, when I get around to ballistic-ifying the vehicles, there's gonna be some sexy tanks. Like the Churchill Crocodile, or the M67 Flame Thrower Tank:

Just wanted to pop in and say your work looks amazing! I can't wait to try the newest release.

Thanks. The next edition should be available tomorrow evening, as long as 1.07 is "official" before then.

so... any chance for it this evening?

I have a day off tomorrow so I can play

There's a small chance...I'm just doing a last checkthrough, and have a couple of issues to resolve. Nothing major, just sprites for buzzard and sentinel (won't take long to do). Apart from that, it's almost done.

New thread started in the completed mods sub-forum, here, with the download link and instructions/description. GET SOME.

Figured I'd post in here so I don't keep bumping the finished thread. Sorry for being that guy, but any updates on the release date? I've been holding off on a new play through for your next release

Don't worry about it, I double post in there quite often. It's finished, just needs packing up and a final check. I'd say they'll be a new link up for it by this time tomorrow (I could have done it by tonight, but I'm shattered, and wouldn't want to miss any bits out).

Awesome! I can't wait for it! Hope you get some rest man.
