New Stuff to Test
- Tossy Grenades
The newest item in testing is TGs. They stick to walls with a 3 second fuse before exploding unless you hit a player directly, which explodes on impact. Secondary function will be an alternate throw.
- Rocket Launcher
The RL has been updated with a 2nd function for better aiming which slows the rate of fire. It's model (gunSS6.gif) has also been completed and added to the game. Does it need a scope?
- Worksite Map
Also a map I'm working on with new kinds of props like automatic sliding glass doors, and more.
Feedback is always welcome!

+ new testing weapon set: rocket launchers
+ also testing new slow motion final kill cam effects

Some of you have suggested that the upcoming Rocket Launcher model should be the Super Scope 6 from the SNES era, and that just may be the one we go with!
Have a good one! Stay tuned.
