COOL

. BTW i have a question. When I was playing the full version the maps had stuff that never existed in the original maps. Stuff like cars fire mg 42s. How come is that possible??

you can spawn things into a map by modifying the .scr

local.**weapon** = spawn models/weapons/**weapon.tik**
local.**weapon**.origin = ( **get cordinates from game - console command is coord )
local.**weapons**.angle = **direction the weapon will face**
local.**weapon** cnt 1 ( this just limits the spawn to 1 )

how come every time I click a modtheater link I get the same thing

Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here

I even went so far as to contact them they don't know why it does that I can't follow any of the links to them

you probably did something dumb thats why you were banned. Either that or if you have a static IP and someone else used it then you connected through it that may be the problem.

new update - New Flamethrower

Has a new flame model and a custom skin from Peacemaker.

The final version will soon be ready for release, just a few problems I'm having with it still.

How can it be used in own maps? I mean, yes, I can put it in, but players can't pick it up

Will it be in the weapons selection table?

Drop your current weapon then pick it up

when I release the final version you can do a few things:

you can spawn it in with the scr file, add it in with radiant, or you can replace an existing weapon in the menu with it. I would not recomend the last option due to allowing everyone the weapon will create terrible lag and may still crash servers.

There are still 2 main problems I'm trying to fix with the flame thrower:

1 - since it was based on the Bar - the flame starts above the barrel, just like the bullets are shot from above the barrel. (that's the reason you can shoot around a corner with your barrel in a wall - the bullet isn't spawned at the tip of the gun but rather about 16 units over the barrel above the trigger.

2 - I need to get the flame to incease in size. Since it is shooting out a model I've tried all types of min and max scale combos but nothing works.

If anyone has any ideas on a solution to these let me know
