Paramedics: The Nurse you never knew. UPDATED 6-18-09
After much reworking, tinkering and testing, the Paramedics are here!
This mod expands on the idea of the Medic Drone in B23, and replaces the fragile suck of the drone with the hot healing hands of a woman, the Nurse!
The Nurse comes equipped with a Bonesaw for hacking off limbs, and heals nearby units who need help.
She comes in 3 Normal Variants:
Daisy - Smoking Hot Girlfriend
Carrie - OG of the Nurses
Lorelai - The token brown haired one!
Also, you will notice a Bonus variant is included: The Coalition Field Medic!
The coding comes with an option to enable a mask attachment that matches the Coalition masks commonly worn by other members of the faction. It is initially disabled.
So grab that healer for any occasion: Defending, Assaulting, Capturing, even Staring if that's your thing!
CURRENT BUILD: V1.01 - Changes/Fixes/Updates:-Credits updated: Added - mail2345, MaximDude
-Coalition Nurse Helmet position updated.
-Coalition Nurse arm cross position updated.
-Fixed an oversight that was causing one frame of the Coalition Light soldier to have a red cross on him, and one frame of the Coalition Nurse to have no cross at all.
-The Bone saw now properly comes equipped on Coalition Nurses.
-The Bone saw has been revamped with hot of the press lua code from mail2345! The Bone saw will now detach and gib any attachable on a target actor, allowing for individual dismemberment of legs, arms, or head for clean decapitations! * / **
-Added new Nurse voices and death sounds! Due to sounds being time synchronized with the game, normal gameplay lag can cause the female voices to slow down and sound manly. To remedy this, BY DEFAULT the active sound files are 1 and a half times faster paced. This should result in counterbalancing the game lag and producing the intended sound. ***
KNOWN ISSUES: *)The Bone Saw has an issue right now that prevents it from damaging the Control Chip Case and the Blue Bomb Generators in the Zombie Cave Mission. You will not be able to destroy either of these objects. The Zombie Clone Tubes are fully susceptible to the Bone Saw.
**)Due to the nature of how the Bone Saw currently targets attachables of the target actor, the Bone Saw will NOT AFFECT any actor currently carrying/using one. This is to prevent the user of the Bone Saw from gibing their own attachables and/or killing themselves.
***) If you experience that the Nurse voices are consistently too high in pitch, you may try replacing the files in "Nurse.rte/Actors/" with the files in "Nurse.rte/Actors/NurseVoicesOriginal/". They are the exactly same name, so just drag and drop and click yes to replace.
