Primary shoots one big projectile, a bit slower than Electro, otherwise the same damage and force. Secondary shoots smaller projectiles (currently same damage parameters) out of the big one that fall straight down.

Should I complete this (make a working impact effect and bot support for it)?

Any reason it's purple?

So, this is for the crylink? Hmm...

[divVerent]

It's purple because I put it on the Crylink's slot... and used its projectile, just enlarged.

I am no artist, I can't make my own projectile or weapon.

Just like almost every of your ideas, this is gonna be awesome. Do continue plz. I love you.

Download it from http://hagger.rbi.informatik.uni-frankf ... ke-0.1.pk3

Needs testing and probably balancing...

Note: if you set this up on a server and the clients don't have this pk3, the explosion will look too pink, but it will work otherwise. Just so you've been warned...

Primary fire = fire big ones
Secondary fire = fire small ones out of the most recently fired big one
Now with bot support

Note: this progs.dat needs a current engine from svn, not the one included with Nexuiz 2.3... or just play it on my server (141.2.16.23). Install the pk3 anyway to get the right explosion effect.

To use it on a server, set sv_progs to progs-crylink-airstrike.dat

I think you should just recolor them a different color- like green. Can't be that difficult.

Nice idea, nice work divVerent

Actually, it is

Doing so would REQUIRE the client to have the pk3 file... and one of the two files needed to change is effectinfo.txt. An autodownload doesn't cause that to reload... so we would get a green projectile (new model, downloadable) with pink light explosion (effectinfo.txt, only loaded on startup).

However, if this should ever end up in an official release, or if it is generally accepted, I can commit an updated effectinfo.txt to Nexuiz (then effect for the impact was unused before, so this breaks nothing).

Played it before I found this post.

I love it!

Nice surprise.

I am hesitant to offer any thoughts before a proper feel of it.
