Mercury Missiles 2 Beta

[Wormbo]

Hello folks, I plan on releasing my weapon mutator "Mercury Missiles 2" some time soon for UT2003/4 and I'd like to test have a short (UT2004-only) beta test before release.

With the Mercury Missiles mutators you have a rocket launcher that shots high-speed rockets and has a configurable zoom feature. The rockets even accelerate after being fired and can penetrate opponents once they reached a certain velocity.

There are five different mutators available in Mercury Missiles 2:

• Mercury Missile Arena - A configurable Mercury Launcher Arena mutator
• Mercury Missile InstaGib - InstaGib mode, not allowed in Assault or Onslaught
• Mercury Missile WildFire - WildFire mode, for Excessive Overkill fans
• Mercury Missile Launcher - Only the Rocket Launcher is replaced
• Mercury Missile Sniper - Sniper Rifles and Lightning Guns are replaced

I played a quick DM and I love the Mercury Launcher, just like I did when playing them in UT2003. :up:

I may be wrong, but didn't the old UT2003 version have bronze-colored smoke trail following the rockets?

I kept the trail smoke-white this time, but it you want a more reddish trail, play on the red team in a team game.

You haven't seen my Rockets UT mod for UT99, hmm?

I've uploaded Beta 3.
New features include air-hit announcements, a rocket jump boost option, UT2003's Double Damage firing sound and a new mesh for the Mercury Missiles.

this weapon is verry fun, why dont you make a new model for it, or atleast make some new textures (it deserves more :P)

[Wormbo]

Becasue I can't model, and it already has a (slightly) new texture.
