I'm releasing this because I don't think I'm ever gonna finish it anyway, so beware: It's probably extremely unbalanced and needs damage/firerate tweaking.








It shoots yellow needler projectiles and a timed big needle bomb as a secondary which has the magnetism of a homing rocket.

BTW Dennis the tag upload thingy is broken, I know you don't update the site anymore but I thought I'd let you know anyway.

who luv bees?

upload link isn't broken: this site is being "moderated" now. It may be a day or 2 before he gets back to you!

Thanks for the bumperino, I'm an idiot and I forgot the link, apparently you can't edit posts anymore

Actually the File submission page on the hce.halomaps.org site is no longer functional. Several of the backend systems that support the gaming websites failed and it requires equipment and a complete rewrite to restore them on to the newer platforms and systems we now use. It has not been a priority and then the pandemic hit and pushed it even lower on the "to do list". Sorry.

tried to install this vehicle and does not install? tried placing this on "Bloodgulch" to test and has error message "not all tags could be added to the palette"?

1) dropped into "tags" directory as stated in readme

Thanks for looking into this

do you get any specific errors if you try to compile it?

Doesn't get that far...when I place into map via "Sapien" the model/vehicle doesn't even show!

Do you get any errors in the debug.txt? I don't know what I need to fix if I don't see what the problematic tag is

Okay as usual I was being an idiot, I saw "...\weapons\needler\..." after recursively extracting the dependencies and I thought they were the vanilla tags for the needler
This should work:
