Intro
This mod adds
3 versatile M84 flashbangs with different lookings, effects, and abilities, based on the awesome mod
M84 Flashbang by Tooun. They are slightly more stronger and therefore requiring slightly more materials to make. Plus, since the M84 is still likely to be updated with NPC support, these
won't be injected into the leveled list - because stumbling around a haunted wasteland with ice all over the place after being electric-shocked is bad - you're the one that supposes to wield the power!

Details

Curse:- For General Assaulting
- A Little
Longer Interval of Explosion (1s → 1.2s)
-
Larger Explosion Radius (Inner: 335 → 430; Outer: 475 → 600)
- The projectile will glow in red and explode with a ghost hoot (SFX only)
-
Special Effect:
Astral ProjectionWhile exploding,
deal 10 damage and spawn a collectable M84 flashbang (to mimic the effect of a possessed letting off its inner ghost I made it not spawn on the ground statically but eject out from the blast, looking good! Sometimes hard to track the spawn though)
*Note: The M84 spawn will vanish if it's not collected in 30 seconds.>
Iceplode (it's ice, but exploded)
:- For Fast, Large Influence upon the Crowd
- A Little
shorter Interval of Explosion (1s → 0.8s)
-
Smaller Explosion Radius (335 → 250; 475 → 350)
- Impose a
2-second cryo effect upon characters being affected
-
Special Effect:
FissionWhile exploding, randomly
eject 5 child flashbangs around which has
smaller radius (335 → 200, 475 → 300),
shorter interval (1s → 0.3s) and are
non-cryo.
>
Shock:- For Oppression towards, Defense of, or Escape from hazardous enemies
-
Longer Interval of Explosion (1s → 1.5s)
- A little
Larger Explosion Radius (335 → 400, 475 → 500)
- The projectile will explode with a lightning sound effect
-
Special Effect:
Electric TrapWhile exploding, immediately
spawn another shockbang locally with slightly weaker effects (non-collectable) that will explode in around 3s. This effect will
repeat 4 times, and the final detonation will cause 5 damage with a larger radius (335 → 450, 475 → 550).
*Note:
To avoid the accident that a misplaced shockbang explodes around the player and causes inevitable stiffness, only the first and last explosion will paralyze the player so you can use the gap to walk out of the radius.
How to Get1. Construct them at Chem station. (Recommended)
2. Use the In-game ESP Explorer, and search "FE" to browse ESL/ESL-Flagged contents (This mod has a ESL-Flagged ESP).
3. Use the newest ESL Explorer (probably).
Compatibility
Anything that M84 flashbang will be conflicting with (is there any?)
shouldn't conflict with others since it uses M84 flashbang as blueprint only, and not modified any of it (No file overwrites).Known Issues
Sometimes the game crashes - it happens before I've repacked them into ba2 archives. Now it's supposed to be much better.
Temporary frame rate dropping in internal cells - this is noticeable in areas like Covega where complex lights convolute (ELFX feels the same way).
Known issues of M84 Flashbang (if any)
Textures are awful - I am sorry that I am really not an expert on this. I just randomly sketch something there to make them consistent with their feature, and meanwhile not resembling their father.What's Next
> Maintenance - This mod will be maintained to be consistent with the original M84 version. (That's why it's v1.2 at the beginning)
> Bug fixes - This is just the third time I've created any mod contents so my skills are not really good. Please expect not too much on it.
> New Stuff - I haven't decided yet as I have moved my learning focus onto animations. But new ideas are always welcome.CreditsToounx - The author of M84 Flashbang
