[MOD] Torch

[yrizoud]

Based on an idea I had some time ago, here's a torch. It's a light source like the electro-flare, and you can use it in melee to set enemies on fire.

The balance is very experimental, I chose 75% fixed chance of success and a time cost similar to the handle. It relies on OXCE's ability to set a damage type to "gun melee", otherwise the item would only be able to do melee damage, and it would miss the point
I made all graphics from scratch. Everyone is free to use and re-use for anything.

This mod is really good. I wonder why it is not distributed with the piratez download like the other mods.

Awesome, setting people on fire using a torch.
10/10, would use again.

Need some more info in the description i hope And of course, it should be useful against unarmored folks, right?

Actually, fire bypasses the armor stat.

Basically, you can expect (statistically) 6HP lost per successful swing, then if the unit is set on fire, it suffers 7 HP per turn.
Fire resistance affects both of the above.

I didn't include that only because a non-animated torch hand sprite would look really awkward (and it's impossible to make it animated).

For now!

I have ;P In Extended 3.0 you will be able change item graphic on whim. On top of that I added option that items in hands can generate light, this mean by default you would see nothing in night missions until you grab torch and ignite it.

Exactly what I meant! I'm waiting impatiently for this feature, because it'll be wicked.
