Regarding the Pelican Mod and its various forms.

Well, I can't figure out what the remaining problems with this mod are..

The best working version, although really large, is the one that was leaked by Anon, so I'd suggest just using that one.

...is what MonoxideC said, so, since I deleted the file by accident, is it not too much to ask for the link Anon posted for his 'leaked' version of MonoxideC's Pelican Mod?

After being given the link by another, I proceeded to download it. After much extensive testing, a.k.a. crashing it into lots of crap n'stuff, aside from the large file size, I have found this version, as MonoxideC said, to be superior. In this one the Engines are not crazy, and the Pelican feels more "Solid". The collision boundaries a tiny bit better too. Oh, another point is that it can hover much more easily than the other, and the camera is positioned at a slightly different angle. That's just my two cents though.

If it is wanted, I will publicly post the download link, but I'm afraid I'll be flamed to hell and back. Meh.

Ok, here is the link to the version that was 'leaked'. The one I find to be the best. =)

Hey you were in my stunt server right zero?

ZERO · Post by **ZERO** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 2:58 am

Yes, I was.

Anyway, further testing has found that this version is just more fun, for no reason at all. =)

I agree, it is more fun and stuff. I do feel kind of bad for using it but not realy because monoxideC did say that he sugests this one.

What makes it more fun?

gh2256 · Post by **gh2256** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 6:35 am

Well its more solid and moves up and down quicker.

Although in this one the wings dont move.

Any one want me to host this one or is any one hosting this one?

s00pcan · Post by **s00pcan** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 7:00 am

Well pff I can edit it myself and make it better.

gh2256 · Post by **gh2256** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 10:03 am

Go on then, and release it

ZERO · Post by **ZERO** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 10:22 am

Ok, I will now make a summary of the mod:

Pros:
-The pelican has better collision boundaries.
-It is easier to fly.
-The camera angle is a tiny bit better.
-Hovering is much easier.
-Walking along the top and inside the passenger area is easier when just hovering.
-The Pelican can gain and lower altitude faster.
-The engines are no longer on ecstacy, or whatever drug they were taking.
-There's no guilt in using it, since MonoxideC himself recommended using it.

Cons:
-The file size is a bit large, but hey, who cares when the mod is good?
-Your trusty pelican is armed with only a gattling gun, but it IS a transport. You don't need a gun, just bust out you 1337 ninja transport dodging skills!
-Few people have the mod yet, so get more people to download! With enough people, and a few modifications, this could be successful.

Other Miscellaneous Points:
-The Pelican can still carry ten passengers and one driver.
-When people lacking the mod join, they don't get an exception error, they just see a flying warthog. O_o
-It's fun.

Also, if anyone is hosting this mod on a server, please post it either in the other topic, or in this one.

That is all. Have a nice day.

hmm well the gattling gun is kinda boring cause its just the hog minigun mayb if u change it into a Auto Rocket Launcher it would b Sw33t lol but low force and dmg lol or a 1 shot every 20second 1000 force 5000 range 500 dmg missile launcher...

no no no u need 2 make it fire auto rockets that home
the catch is that they will have really low force and damage

gh2256 · Post by **gh2256** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 12:40 pm

Yes I could do that, but for you to see them homing you need the same modded map.

Demonic Spartan · Post by **Demonic Spartan** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 12:45 pm

Make them homing, make the pelican have a rocket arsenal on top of it, and make it have about 15 shots per reload. But a medium force and low damage, takes 2 rockets to kill a normal no vehicle player.

Well theyl come out from where the gun on it is, what one you want modded, the better leaked one or the preivew?

ZERO · Post by **ZERO** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 1:17 pm

The entire point of my topic was to try and get people to use the leaked version more, since with a bit of modding, it could be great. So, if you mod something, you should probably mod the leaked one.
