Excellent mod to play slaughter maps with, but still want to retain a smidgen of challenge if the likes of Russian Overkill are a bit much.
Do the guns need tweaking?
I like the pace of slaughter map-grade arsenals, but not the lack of danger, hence the course I've taken with The Trooper.
At any rate, I've updated The Trooper to
version 0.1, superseding the 0.x## naming scheme as the arsenal is in its complete form, barring the possible reintroduction of the Sharpshooter Arm. Changes include:
*Last Salvo explosions should be more intuitive, but less laggy. Explosion radius reduced to 128 (equivalent to the vanilla Rocket Launcher) and overall damage reduced slightly.
*Surfeit Torment now deals more noticeable damage to groups of enemies.
*Sokova 46 ammo occasionally replaces explosive magnum bullets, in the hopes of providing more AS-46 ammo around Chaingun spawns and reducing availability of magnum bullets. AS-46 now only gives 30 bullets when first picked up - all future pickups only give 10, like the Chaingun does.
*All ammo limits except for Surfeit Torment reduced considerably.
*Explosive magnum bullets now spawn in increments of 1, 2, 3, or 6, with drops being weighted towards the first three. Players now spawn with 24 bullets instead of 36.
*VSK7 Nightshade now gives 8 shells on first pickup, and anywhere from 1 to 4 on subsequent pickups.
*Last Salvo gives 4 slugs on first pickup and 1 to 4 on future pickups. Railgun slug boxes now contain 4 slugs instead of 8.
*Sturmman M97 now gives 32 on first pickup, 16 each following.
*Pulsar-D gives 60 on first pickup, 30 each following.
*Errant Quad Damage values corrected.
*Sharpshooter Arm is now usable, though it does not spawn naturally - holding off on that until I have a better pickup sprite.
If some variety of ammo seems unusually abundant or some weapons feel underutilized compared to their function, please let me know so I can make corrections as necessary.
