thats great lam, thanks for getting on the idea.... the hook doesnt really have to launch you up there...it could be a rope with a hook on the end where you have to swing it and you would have to climb up there your self...having a chance of getting shot...and i agree with deaths shadow...the hook would have to be some kind of prize, maybe you could add it to the options of the lamrons flag...where you could choose the hook or the other 2 guns..just a thought....but you should probably get the hook to work first...lol

There won't be any "swinging" or "climbing". The game doesn't allow for those kinds of motions. It will be a simple move from once place to another when you hit the target with the grappling hook. And everybody will have one in their inventory.

Nothing wrong with fancy ideas, there's just some limitations in the game design that I have to work within. As I've mentioned before, if you're not an experienced modder, you won't know what those limitations are, so feel free to suggest anything you can imagine and I'll figure out if its possible/ practical/ desireable.

I would like to suggest that anyone playing from my IP address be invinsible from any and all attacks made by any and all players. Is that something you could work out Lamron? ;D LOL

It would be a different visual effect, but it would play pretty much the same as the Mustard Gas grenades. We had some problems with players using them at spawn points and I took them out of the game. I might try it again some time, but for now we won't have any area-denial type throwable weapons.

(Trust me, KM, I've been there and done that!) (and then, in the wee hours of the night, instead of sleeping, he'll start trying to make the strange suggestions work!)

I'm working on defining the places in each map that the Grappling Hook can be used. This is going to allow for some interesting shortcuts and different ways to access places. Its going to change the flow of some of the maps and require learning some new tactics to make the best use of it.

That is cool looking!
Almost makes me want to bludgeon someone with it instead of using it to climb a wall, LOL
