Description: This weapon is dedicated to anybody who thinks the current airstrike in UT2004 is just a little... well, useless. This weapon calls in a Phoenix bomber that drops a single small-scale nuclear device, with an explosion over twice the diameter of the Redeemer's, and which also leaves a blinding mushroom cloud of thick smoke for about 20 seconds. I personally find it very impressive to watch, and it's not just show, either. This thing can kill a fresh Leviathan in ONE HIT, if you can get the bomb to land a direct hit.
Changes: v1.0 - Original release.
v1.1 - Added a better flash to the explosion, increased damage radius a bit, decreased damage slightly, reduced bomb's falling speed, and toned down the particle effects. It looks truly fearsome now, and can still take out a full-armor Levi.
Installation: StrikePainter.ucl/u -> System
Nuclear Strike Readme.txt -> Help
Zip file has path info: just unzip to your UT2004 folder.
For Multiplayer: To use the Nuclear Strike Painter on a server, add the following lines to your UT2004.ini
at the end of the [Engine.GameEngine] paragraph:
ServerPackages=StrikePainter
I have not tested it online, but it is a very simple change to the Target Painter and Redeemer explosion, so I hope there is no problem. Of course, if there is, be sure to e-mail me.
System Requirements: Above average. Despite the new explosion, I still get framerate hitches sometimes, but not nearly
as often or as bad as before.
Construction Time: Took a total of about 8 hours to make, and most of that was getting the explosion to look just right.
Credits: Me, MiracleMatter, because I made it, Epic and Digital Extremes, for the game, God, my family, blah blah blah. We all know the drill.
