: Hmm, Irons appears to have removed all his stuff from Fileball. Maybe it will
: show up on http://irons.treellama.org/ at some point.
Some of the scripts do show up...
Anyway, I've browsed a little and my belief in LUA is coming back to life slowly. Especially the alien weapon mod got me thinking, since it deals with killing and spwning items... Crudely speaking, mix it with commands like:
get_projectile_position(projectile)
set_projectile_position(projectile, polygon, x, y, z)
and the possibilities seem endless...
Although I can't see any contrail references, I guess I'll be capable of spawning another projectile (or multiple projectiles with different graphics) behind the proper projectile and make it behave like a contrail (for example a hovering, animated object with a direction).
Or spawn multiple projectiles on detonation to act like frag slivers.
Or make monsters blow up in fountains of gibs when killed.
Or make them shot-responsive in a way you can blow pieces of armor off them.
Anyway, I'm off to work now, so keep your fingers crossed. There might be a really cool marathon mod coming up :D
