Metal Slug Faction Mod

After much work, hours, offset-rage and ragga music, its done, but not over.
I've coded some strong units to protect areas or rush enemy with effectivity,
so here comes 3 line tanks and 2 special units, one of special units born by my fist.

I'll tell you why, *boring explanation* in metal slug cannot find one anti-infantry
vehicle, because the main character its light infantry and it will be really difficult
to defeat or avoid, almost impossible...
The name its the "thunder" by the "thunder-counter-attack" tactic born in WWII.

This will be the last release, perhaps some adjustements, nothing big.


/// Tanks ///




Girida-O
Light anti-infantry tank, very fast, cheap price,
and counts with one compact pirate cannon, yes,
pirate cannon, super-addictive.

Reccomended for : Quick assaults.
Defects : No jetpack.




Girida-Om
Upgraded girida-o, only seen when the end of the war its near,
more quick than girida-o, stronger cannon, and smoky jetpack.

Recomended for : Shocking assaults
Defects : Armor easy to pierce.




Dikoka Mk2
Medium combat tank, most renamed and known line tank
Jetpack, good range and medium armored hull.

Reccomended for : Strong skimirsh.
Defects : Vulnerable to shocking waves.




Mauss
Strong combat tank, reliable but slow
Designed to face strong armored units, leave to
fire and compressed gas do what infantry can't do.

Reccomended for : Armored fights.
Defects : Be sure where do you advance.




Formor
Division-chief, comes with strong-repulse cannon, shiny jetpack
and one strong anti-infantry MG. This tank its effective against any enemy.
Disclamer: this tank its full of bugs, really-hard-to-solve bugs...
helps always accepted.


/// Special Units ///




Thunder
Anti-infantry jeep, prepared for those robocomunist
defences, comes with light jetpack and one robo-droidy
who repairs slowly your hull for stand against much waves.

Reccomended for : Counter-attacks and stablish positions.
Defects : Can't stand against hard waves of enemys.




Bradley Mk2
Artilery unit, fry those punks since one mountain of distance,

Needs practice, and experience, no one can control it at all.

Bradley Mk3
Upgraded version, more rockets, more armour,
better jetpack but less aim skills.

Mini-Ufo
Fragile but so deadly as cool, use it wisely
an be careful where you shoot.

Hover Shooter
Reinforced aircraft, low caliber bullets,
very high rate-of-fire, a.k.a. "moskito".
Disclamer: bullets look weaker than real are, keep in mind you're looking frank dies...

Defects : Dislike the physical hits!




V2-Deployer
Son of Rocket V1, tremendous power, tremendous lag.
Never... I mean NEVER aim to less than 450 pixels, you're warned.
If gotcha never challenged me to do a galaxy-destroyer you'll
never be playing this one, so, thanks man.



ChainGun Mech
As you see, huge fire-power, able to shoot 500 bullets
in 30 seconds, if you want to keep a place safe, don't search anymore.

Recomended for : Cover corridors and higher places.
Defects : Who needs to run when can fight?




SuperClaws Mech
Nothing better than 2 Giantic metalic claws for
smashing enemies, perfect mech for kamikaze desires.

Recomended for : Charge!!!

Infantry Troops
Requested hundred times, leave the soldiers do dirty jobs
and left the tanks for important things...

Betatesters, you are the light in this big shaft of modding.

Ivan, because without him and his effords this will be a scratch.

Areku, by helping coding the some fire trails, adjusting my wrong codes and active colaborating!

Geti, by giving me the greatest acid effect, ever done in cortex, after years waiting...

Duh, because he helped me a lot, incluiding the nuke explosion what left your shorts wet.

Gotcha, because he still being my master, my rival and my friend.

and

Those who withdraw, I miss many people, cool and good-modders who decided to quit...
time taked a high price...

You're welcome. And I don't need to test this, I already have .

Mauss no longer have this shotgun devasting effect
It shoot like it must shoot, but if its lazy what I'm reading then

Oh damn, I gotta try this.

Comments to come.

Bradley M2 was my favorite in the original game with those massive missiles, cant way to test what you've done with these. Also seeing Areku had his code in this, this has got to be awesome.

Comments to come after testing

Also drop.io for uploading mods. Or filefront.com

Don't over-value me dude, I've made my best but still not being god creation
And as I've said in past, Areku code its very odd but still being great ^^

I'll try filefront in future, thanks

Disclaimer: I am not NaXx' master.
Looking good, NaXx. Grats!

SWEEET! Can't wait to try it ^^,

Only tested like 50% so far and instantly I was struck by the Bradley's missiles;
The seem to be a little too weak and explode most of the time in midair.
Need more gib impulse limit right there, since mostly they explode right after they leave the launcher.
Also it'd be great if they would arc and fall down like in the original game.

But so far, this is AWESOME.

I think these are pretty awesome! Nice everything really, except one thing: once they lean to one side, they cant get back up, and they have poor ground movement. You really have to use the "jetpack" to get them around. Nice mod overall though! :)

numgun, I'll try to add some gibwoundlimit, I've not thougt it before
but that of fall down and super explode of ms tanks its really hard to make...
Anyway, thanks



I've noticed that one, you have to look quick left and right with wouse and it fix
they stuck easily with terrain but think a crabs don't manage very good in common ground...
Anyway real tanks needs engineers to make easy advance through wild terrains, and thanks ^^

The only thing that bugs me is the lack of movement on the barrels, otherwise it's pretty good.

I decided to tweak the bradley's gun and now its much better.



Put that in the MS.rte\Special Forces\Bradley folder and your missiles will not explode midair AND they will arc too!

Also I really like how the medium tank has its barrel fixed in one position like in the original game. It really makes it interesting to use unlike a normal tank.

So far this mod is incredible, but could use some work.
I mean there are tons of random crap lying around in the folders like the bear federation items and such.

That was exacting what they need, huge thanks

Very nice NaxX, it's come a long ways from the beta and the tanks are very well polished!
