Checked in some silly monsters.

I was working on a couple things that I thought I'd checkin until I have more time to play with them.

I was trying to make a slith use the spider physics model... (really didn't work so good)

I tried to make a flying devilfish, but they also wouldn't spawn... Maybe because they need to have their check water turned off.

Anyway, if you look at them, enjoy. If you see something obvious, give me a shout. I'll play more with them later.

On this note, I've got the Giant Warbunny (Ultima edition™) functioning...sorta. I worked on it for a bit, but had to move to other things.

*beats life back with a bat*

Working:
*Giant (6x) size with adjusted collision boxes
*Corpse always gibs, getting rid of the no death animation problem
*Spawns Ultima on death that has half normal radius and 40% normal damage (will still gib you if you're close by) and a 6 sec charge time.

Bugs/not yet implemented/etc:
*Ultima is still green
*Ultima kills other monsters (fun when you've spawned a wave with 40 of these things)
*The gibbing technique to get rid of the corpse messes with stats (the kill shows up, but it doesn't count as a kill for your weapon)

It could be interesting having Ultima WarBunnies as pets?

Sounds like "Deemer Mines" basically.

Heya Moof, we've got to let people turn off the gore.

Moof: a question about the bunnies.

I see a warbunny in the distance, I shoot it and kill it. One of my teammates comes around the corner. Will my teammate get taken out by the ultima blast?

If so, this could be a problem. It would be like a redeemer that always did team damage.

I committed the bunnies.

Dru: if you have gore off, the corpse simply disappears. If you don't get rid of the corpse...well, try this: comment out the gibbedBy line, spawn one of these things, shoot it a few times with a flak cannon and RUN.

Szlat: Yes. It spawns a modified GhostUltimaCharger that does no damage to monsters. It wouldn't be a stretch to have it only harm the killer, but with a 6 sec charge time, I think it's okay. The brown Ultima charger is highly visible.

Bug: This still uses UT2004RPG.UltimaExplosion, so the boom is green. Emitters are beyond me. I tried changing the color and it stayed green!

Possible changes: The damage is lessened, but this will still gib you if you're close in. If you turn down the radius, make sure you crank down the momentum imparted as well.
