Physics Model Bitch’n Camaro, M∞, Net Version 1.3 (4/20/97)
Extremely Standard Introduction
Blah. Blah. Thank you for choosing my physics model to download from the many fine ones available. My never-ending plan is to not only not disappoint you, but to titillate that happy trigger-finger of yours. All my PM’s have been tested by the fine folks at work and have been subsequently tweaked to ultimate playing ripeness by me. This laborious & tedious process is carried out so that you, fine marine, can indulge in the fine craft of rubbing-out your buddies. Yeah.Yeah. Please e-mail me if you find any bugs. I think we got’em all.
The B-Down
Hats off to the future sci-fi writers who’s elaborative descriptions of their PM’s rank up there with the prose of Asimov, Delaney & Zelazny. It ain’t happin’n here. Not yet anyway:
Weapons, Damage & Description
Fist 70/5 You grunt when you swing’em.
Pistol/single function 30/10 Shoots yellow wads of heat.
Assault Rifle 10/5 & 65/5 Less bullet spray (i.e. smaller theta). You see shells as shots. Fast bouncing grenades.
Plasma Pistol (PL) 30/5 & 80/10 PL1&2 shoot faster. PL2 - not a charge-up & self-damages if you’re too close to a target, wall etc.
TOZT (FL) 6/2 & 40/5 FL1 has a slightly weaker flame. FL2 throws 6 box-grenades at once. Uncle Ted knows.
Missile Launcher (ML) 120/5&70/5 ML1 is almost same but with a skinnier contrail. It takes off from 3/4 to 7/8 of a recharge. ML1 shoots 4 missiles quickly w/ standard area of effect. ML2 plops bouncing mines in the form of standing missiles & takes off about 1/2 of a recharge per boom.
SMG 8/5 Slightly weaker bullets with that double-fisted look.
The minor defender is now a quick blue ball that will explode into a 2X recharge if you can gun it down.
Shank You's
Thanks Bungie and the developers of Anvil and Alchemist . Also, to other PM makers who’ve given me advice and insight. I want to say thanks as well to the hard-working folks on the net who give our PM’s exposure and write quality blurbs. They’re styl’n. I am grateful to Red Sonya, Dante, Marsha Brady (a.k.a. Archie Bunker & L.O.D.), Light’em Up and especially Relic who consistently test and play my PM’s and provide valuable feedback (e.g.”This alien weapon doesn’t kill anything!”). Thank's to the Dead Kennedys who created this wonderful song (the title). Finally, thanks to Due Bell for her graciousness in spite of my marathon affliction (yes running them too, and ultras).
Oh Yeah
This physics model doesn't mess up my computer or those where we play net games. I apologize if it screws up yours but I take no responsibility. If you want to distribute this physics model, please include this read me file. Don't hesitate to e-mail me. I know that’s what you really want to do. Oh yeah, this PM is best for Plight of Expostulation v2.0 or any map w/lots of pistols (like mine: Superlatives & Absolutes & Quigley’s Olympics v 2.0) .
