Update live on Steam. Have a good one.

I've started to add things to the game in their incompleted states, just to show people what's being worked on. Each item in the menu that's in testing will be marked in front of it with a * character.

- Tossy Grenades
The newest item in testing is TGs. They stick to walls with a 3 second fuse before exploding unless you hit a player directly, which explodes on impact. Secondary function will be an alternate throw.

- Rocket Launcher
The RL has been updated with a 2nd function for better aiming which slows the rate of fire. It's model (gunSS6.gif) has also been completed and added to the game. Does it need a scope?

- Worksite Map
Also a map I'm working on with new kinds of props like automatic sliding glass doors, and more.

Feedback is always welcome!

The internally dubbed "Quake Mode" is now active in-game..

+ new testing weapon set: rocket launchers
+ also testing new slow motion final kill cam effects
- fixed decals appearing to be over top of impact effects
- tweaked brightness of glowing vests and laser guns
- flashes, impacts, and explosions are now animated

Some of you have suggested that the upcoming Rocket Launcher model should be the Super Scope 6 from the SNES era, and that just may be the one we go with!

Have a good one! Stay tuned.
