[Weapon] Arbalest of the Ancients

Post by Xaser »

So, after reminding myself of the idea in ZXD's recent project thread (and thanks to Icy's finding of the relevant sprite + Neoworm's making it), I've put together a certain something I've wanted to for quite a while:

Behold, the Arbalest of the Ancients:

Image
Download it! -- Base Graphics by LilWhiteMouse & Neoworm, Graphical Edits (arrows) and Code by that Xaser guy.

It's basically a super crossbow: two arrows per-shot, and lots more arrows. It's been done, yes, but I always wanted to see something big n' bulky serve as Heretic's SSG equivalent. It's robably out of balance right now, but I figure it's worth posting up to let you guys give it a test run or two. Summon "SuperCrossbow" to use (it's properly stacked on slot 3). Use wherever, but be warned I'll probably update it at some point. :P

Sorry 'bout the temporary filehost. I'll probably up this to R667 at some point. Just wanted to post it here first to get the kinks worked out. ;)

Its epic.

Not going to ask why there are three bolts instead of two because that will ruin the awesome.

EDIT: Just used it and I have to say its a little too powerful. Fun to use though.
EDIT2: Actually its weird. Sometimes its too powerful and sometimes its piss weak. I one-shotted a weredragon once but it took me three shots to kill a gargoyle at a different time.

It's a lot more like the SSG in the sense that each shot does little damage (each large bolt actually only does 6 instead of 10 like the standard crossbow), so peppering an enemy is a lot less effective. Though yeah, a shot to the face or two will murderize everything. :P

Edited. Huh, odd -- I figured it had a resemblance to the Wolfen crossbow, but it's been so long since I've played it that I didn't realize it was the same one. :)

Bit of a bump, but I reuploaded this after remembering its existence due to FireSeraphim's recent Heretic mod. Thanks for that. :P
