(in the fluff text, it should read "...at its disposal")


btw, maybe it's time for a mod collection thread or something? one place where all finished mods are being linked for easy access?

Is that a leg attached to the shotgun barrel?

Also, the High Explosives, why were 70 and 80 values chosen? Given the little difference between them, I'm not sure which I'm supposed to use where. How about toning the 70 down to a 50 or 60? That would imply clearing things like forest and other objects and maybe tackling the weaker aliens; and the 80 for just wiping out areas?

hmmm... I'm thinking: what about reducing the initial ammo types to the first two, and only enabling the third one after researching alien grenades?

My expectation was that each "ammo" slot was 1 grenade; I could be wrong though, not tried it yet

fixed.

the power 80 "high explosive" is actually a smoke grenade, this seems to be a quirk of the original, as there's no text present for "smoke" damage.

@Ryskeliini, Warboy

This grenade launcher is SoooOOooo good. I absolutely love it! True fun to watch the projectile arc its way toward the aliens and exploding. YYeeeeaaahh!

It's a little too good I think. No reason to mess with a rocket launcher with one of these.

Looks nice, but I have a suggestion. How about making it only able to fire in "aimed" mode? It seems to me that it's more fitting with the way a real grenade launcher would be used in the field.

(Yes, I realise this is a computer game and that other weapons such as the rocket launcher can be used to snap fire too, but two wrongs don't make a right :) )

Title: Re: [WEAPON] M-79 Grenade Launcher.
Post by: Solarius Scorch on January 20, 2014, 06:52:43 pm
Snap firing mode makes a lot more sense for a GL than a RL, so I wouldn't worry that much. A bigger problem is that the GL's innate stats are insanely good; basically it's the same as a small rocket, but waaay more handy (lighter, smaller, faster and more accurate), not to mention it has ballistic profile (which in most cases is an advantage).
I spoke with Dioxine (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1365) earlier and after some deliberation we nerfed GL's power and made its ammo heavier (they were lighter than anything else in the game. :) ) After the changes the GL is still useful, but not so much of a game breaker.

Having said that, this is an excellent mod that should have been made. We just polished it a little, as it seemed unfinished.

A suggestion of the new ruleset is attached below.

Post by: Quixote on January 21, 2014, 02:09:16 pm
I think both rocket and grenade launchers make more sense if they are restricted to aimed fire mode. But that's just my opinion.

Stat balancing is always good. I'm wondering if anyone has made a general rebalancing mod?

i play this mod and the grenade launcher is IMHO overpowered
for all aliens in the first 3 (superhuman) months  (oustside an UFO) i used only this weapon
i dont know how modding works but is it possible to change the HE munition into two types
1 with a small explosion diameter (2-4 tiles) but high damage (~70)
and a wide range explosion with low damage (~30-40) to remove obstacles
or is radius dependent on the damage?

it's all very easy to modify, just open up the .rul file and alter the blastRadius property of the grenade ammo
