DJ's Grenades Mod - 12/19/2008 12:17:46 PM

There are unused graphics for several different types of grenades in the game. So I added some text and put them in DJ's shop for your grenade throwing pleasure.

These grenades are about twice as common in the shop as the old ones. And with over 6 new types there are usually a few grenades in the shop everyday, often more than a few. I kept the prices in line with standard grenades.

Upped the damage range for some of the grenades based on real world estimates of their lethal range.

Weight per grenade is about the same, but made them smaller so you can carry more. 4 in small slot 8 in a large.

Enemies don't have access to these grenades. Too much work and I know some people think enemy grenades are too deadly anyway.

Auto installer...no files to mess with.
Works with all three difficulty levels.
It only overwrites grenades.xml for all difficulties so should be compatible with other mods including Almighty DJ's

Please report any problems. Post Feedback!
Thanks

Grenadesv1.0.exe

EDIT: You need to start a new game to see the new grenades in the shop.

Tried it. I have not seen any new grenades in several days of playing this game at DJ's yet. I don't know how many game days it has been though. Still the same 3 types are available as before..(mini, regular, and shock) I realised nobody has posted about this yet. I couldn't figure out why it doesn't work and the only thing I looked at was the installer and it install to the root directory of Hired Guns. Is that intended? I didn't see any file there named granade mod.

Did you start a new game after installing the mod? I forgot to mention that above...changed.

Yes the installer finds the root directory then installs to several places from there.

The main grenade file is here C:\Matrix Games\Hired Guns\basis\scripts\logic
its call grenade.xml

Just right click on the file and select properties, then look where it says size, and size on disk. It should say 24.7kb and 28.0kb respectively. If it is smaller than this we have a problem.

Please let me know.
Thanks for posting

Yes they are where you say they should be and no I haven't started a new game yet. So there are no issues as of yet. When I start a new game I will post whether or not they work.
