Nah, didn't invent it... stole it from possums dbb mod.

but you should be able to merge ordinary triggers with batteries to change them into remote triggers!

Smeagol, Do you have any new items I could steal for inclusing in V5 of my mod?

lo, long time lurker new poster here, a suggestion for your excellent mod smeagol: how about using that clever weapon upgrade system to do the folding stocks properly, ie if u put a folding stock on a weapon that already has a fixed stock should it should make that weapon lighter not heavier by removing the fixed stock and replacing it with the lighter folding stock. u could do this using the same mechanic that upgrades the sks to the sks tactical, ie 2 weapons in the weapons xml: b = a merged with a folding stock.

great mod btw. i emplore u to use the 113 weapon balance instead of the wf606 one though. atm im having to cut paste and tweak your additions in the weapons xml onto a 113 weapons.xml. and yes im doin that every update. anyone else pine for the 113 weap balance?

Bah! Miniguns are for people who can't shoot accurately.

@ smeagol: great work as usual! keep up the great work!

Just added the Beretta Cx4 Storm in a modified SMG version (I think a semi-automatic carbine version, like the Calico M-900 wouldn't be used anyway...).

The gun has a 30 shot .40S&W mag, only single and 3-shot burst fire modes, slightly better range than the MP5/40 (190 compared to 175) and thanks to a rail will accept ACOG scopes.

and does flamethrower work? as they say?

Those Trip flares are quite unreliable, I've tested them quite extensively and the enmeies almost never step on them).

Again , in Will's mod , trip flares worked well for the enemy , I was well lit up , but as for enemies , why wouldn't they work ?

Will has a screenie showing it working , but I asked for this before with no success , burn you suckers , burn . :welder:

Maybe if someone gives me a detailed description how to implement it (including animations and such...), I'd try to do so.

As those flare mines didn't work, I replaced them with stationary flashbangs (and these do work, just don't know yet, if the blinding effect works or not...).

How come one works , yet the other doesn't , odd ?

- The WP hand-grenade (I forget its name)
(We already have the thermite grenade, I know. I haven't yet had a chance to play with it, but I believe the WP grenade is lighter, more aerodynamic, and flies further than the thermite 'can', and can be packed in two-per-grenade-slot. This one goes under 'nice but skippable' because I haven't had a chance to try it out and see if it's got enough 'under the hood' to merit promotion in priority; with the pre-existence of the thermite grenade, I suspect it may not.)

At the moment you need to merge either quick glue//duct tape with several attachments to create the modified version, which in turn is used to create aiming modules but has no noticeable other effect on the game. Mauser suggested in one reply, that he wanted the ACOG scope glued to the MG3, which made me think...

What do you guys think about the idea, that the modified versions are inseperable. That would offer several new possibilities:
- Shift-F won't remove these attachments from guns
- you could glue some of them to guns, that won't accept the normal versions (like MG3 and the glued on ACOG, need to think about a list which would make sense, putting a sniper scope on a pistol definately doesn't make sense... )
- enemies could have attachments glued to their guns (but of course would still use non-glued versions as well). that would restrict the availabilty of attachments looted from enemies, either you take the gun with it, or you don't...
- would help to personalize merc equipment (for example it wouldn't be possible to hire certain mercs just to rob their scope...)
