Ballanced megaweapons

[SparcMan]

I was thinking it would be cool to have a few weapons that do massive damage, but have very short range (like maybe a fourth of a screenlength or shorter?) Like the plasma torch but maybe even shorter range.

I've made a couple of weapons like that.

You just described my first mod.


I'm not quite sure how nasty I should make it, though. Mostly I've been going for looks so far. It's very short range, so it should be unpleasant, but it's also a great missile/fighter shield, and it's kinda hard to miss with. Just tidying up the code for 0.97 release, then I'll be looking for advice on this topic.

That looks awesome, marr. Let us know when it's finished!

[Yugi]

:O! What's that weapon graphic? I have to know!

[marr]

Relax. It's just a big pile of rsMediumExplosions layered over each other. Hell, you've seen the source already.

[Yugi]

Oh, I see. Thanks!

[SparcMan]

It really looks like some kind of flame! That's great!
