Ballistic Weapons v1.70 Soon

[hal]

This one was a victim of my retarded spam filter... don't get me started. But we love Ballistic Weapons here at BU, and I wanted to be sure that we got the word out no matter if it was a day or two late. Version 1.7 is being beta tested and we may see something within the week!

The new version is all about options, optimization and fixes. It features plenty of options from accuracy and damage sliders to crosshair options, permanent decal options, and many more! Textures and decals have been tweaked for better performance, and options have also been added to help optimization.

New features also include Iron Sights, Dark Players option, Better Crosshairs, Options for just about all accuracy and damage, The new Ballistic mutator with weapon swapping and replacement of weapons, M50 Camera improvements, G5 and Lasersight recoded for more stability, and lots more!

Check out the whole change log for all the gory details.

Can now pickup M50 camera with "Use"

THANK YOU. The ONLY thing I ever wanted out of this mod. (Cause hell, I thought it was great the way it was, but they just keep adding stuff... who am I to argue that though? )

Option for no weapon chaos when Jumping/Sprinting

uh, does that mean what I think it means? I can run and my weapon won't go all over the place?

'scuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. That's awesome too.

Going to say it again, hope they make the textures smaller this time.
THAT would be a serious perfomance improvement!

This looks exciting Man, UT2k4 never gets old thanks such great modders

Yep...I'm from over at the forums at BW. They're working hard alright. All us fans are chippin in our ideas, and the beta testers are crushing the few bugs that there are.

EDIT: Ahhh, and 1.7 is just a focus on making things more optional. Talk over there is that 1.8/1.9 will have all the flashy brand new weapons and stuff.

 

[Mr. UglyPants]

yep 1.8/1.9 will hopefully be full of weapons, vehicles and oh more maps!!

Hey, you know what I found? 1.5 already has the ability to pick up the M50's camera. You use the Special Ability button, you know, the same Goddamn one you use to put it down.

So, since the thing I've wanted for so long has been in there for so long already, and I was just too Goddamn stupid to try it (the most obvious things can be the hardest to find sometimes) I guess the only appropriate thing to say would be "HAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS"

Still, I'll hold out for 1.7 just for the fact that the aiming doesn't go every which way when you run. I've made it this far without upgrading already, might as well wait another (hopefully) day or two.

The textures are also a bit smaller in the new version, so it will perform much better if you don't have much RAM.

Since I don't use the mutator in the first place, I don't have the slowdown problem everyone else does.
