[WIP] Malice - Version 1.0pre5 [BURNING MELEE!]

[TheRailgunner]

So, currently working on finishing the Crisp version, and along the way, I ended up refining the Quick Grenade function:

*Grenade Upgrade Chips are now required to use special grenade types, and are a rare drop. Basically, if you don't have the chip for a given grenade type, you can't use or select it.
*Tri-Heavy Grenades can be unlocked - (almost) all of the power of a Tri-Heavy Torpedo, right in the palm of your hand. It has the slowest recharge rate of all grenade types owing to its excessive damage capacity.

In addition:

*Both Tri-Heavy projectiles (grenades and torpedoes) now deal residual antimatter damage upon detonation. This also makes them much more hazardous to use up close - use extreme caution!

Try it today...or whenever! Also, if anyone's interested in a half-finished Crisp version, here it is. - load after RG_Malice.pk3, as it's just weapon sprites. Note that a few weapons still have motion blur, and in the case of the M-Zero rifle, the firing sprites still retain it despite the rest of the set being re-crispified. A large number of weapon sprites don't have a crisp original set (namely, weapons introduced after I started abusing blurs), so they'll take me some time to finish.

Its possible to add effect choker?

For now, I'm gonna keep trying to reduce the amount of FX used in the mod - I don't really have the wherewithal to code in a CVAR to do so. I've reduced the number of fallout projectiles as well as the amount of effects they use, and hopefully it'll make a dent in it.

Other stuff:

*PCR rate-of-fire now capped at 4200 RPM.
*A few starting weapon abilities are now class-restricted.
*Only the Devastator class can use Seeking Torpedoes (K-JACK altfire).
*The Nishimura Twelve Railgun's spread-shot is restricted to the Sharpshooter class.
*Full-auto for the Nishimura Ten Shotgun and the slug shot for the Trinity Super Shotgun are now Advance Guard-only.
*The Nishimura Seven Battle Rifle's settings and scope can now only be toggled by the classic Legionnaire class; for all others, the weapon is stuck in whatever condition it's picked up in (i.e, scope or iron sights) and has a 50% chance of being set to Burst-Fire mode. To compensate for this, the refire speed for burst-fire has been increased substantially.

Argh, doubleposts suck. Anywho:

*Power Melee attacks now have their own (crappy) unique animations! BURNING MELEE!
*The Full-Auto setting on the M-Zero rifle is back...but only for the standard Legionnaire class. Automatic firing speed is 420 RPM, to balance it against the N7's 700.
*Semi-auto on the M-Zero now has an A_Refire call, because finger fatigue sucks.

To-do:

*FX reduction, as always. Juggernaut Fists can get laggy, as does Infernal Shockwave and a few weapons while using Golden Arsenal (looking at you, PCR).
*Grenade fixes ("Bouncing" grenades should eventually be renamed "Safety grenades" owing to their lack of damage to the player) and Super Grenades (currently, attempts at Super Grenades have gone awry - they seek when they shouldn't).

You know the drill.

Is the next version still being worked on? I'm super excited for the 1.0 release.
