The Dummynought is actually pretty cool except its about as stable as an SUV balanced on a toothpick and as heavy as... A heavy thing.

Addendum: When aimed at the ground, the gravity gun has a chance of gravittying the wielder right through the terrain.

Feedback:




Words of warning, throw only 2 of these at once (or one really. the X ones)

333-500 fps ----> 30-50-60-100fps(min-max 1-3 secs)

So becarefull with that.

Otherwise they function 100x better than before. In speed, growth, intelligence. Which is insane.

I would request that somehow, if you wanted to, create Acid or Gas pods. I'm sure lag would be insane. And maybe add lua to the gas particles for a chance to zombify non Dummy/Imperatus, or maybe all actors and corrupt them.

I'll be testing this further.

There we go. Thanks cricket.
UPDATE: The blue creeper vines would be perfect if they had higher material strength. They do a great job at catching actors and things but a bad job at keeping them since they have such a short life span and they can be easily broken.

Loving the update by the way dude. Very nice.

That missile launcher, the one you can control. Fantastic!

Hey there CC48. I've always enjoyed the Overwatch Pulse Rifle flechettes (although mixing an rifle and frag nailer code would a similar trick). Another was the Laser Mine launcher iirc

CCS, just load an anti-personal mine into a VE Grenade Launcher, though I prefer to load it with Cluster Mine Bombs, though it destroys the floor quickly... Cave Cricket, how about walls that regenerate? Much like Grif's or so on's wall building mod.

Can you add more actors, Just a dummynought is just kind of boring, have some variety in your troops to make them fun in metagame.

Anti-Creeper bomb is now in. Gravity Gun reliability improvements, Creeper Vine material durability increase, and other changes here and there as well.

This isn't meant to be a faction/tech. It's meant to be a collection of mostly weapons and tools.

I'm looking into it. Issues being how to get these done properly without lagging too much.

As Foa has said, the VE Grenade Launcher loaded with the vanilla mines work well. Though, I am thinking about the flechette rifle, I'm just figuring out how the reload and ammo preservation will work.

I considered damaging spore pods, but like you said, would make things a tad laggy.

I improved the Gravity Gun's user detection this update, hopefully that fixes the issue. The Gravity Gun really needs a re-write of the script though, which may take a bit of time.

Thank god. I remember playing this the first time it was released and the feeling of regret as I played around with the "X" variants...Apparently, napalm is fertilizer to vines.

Yes, please, thanks for the Anti-Creeper Bomb

Putting down X is fun for a while, until you realize that YOU CANNOT ESCAPE
