ThermalWeapons

Description
ThermalWeapons is an addon that modifies how the default Half Life 2 weapons opperate (may include more later). Strongly based off of the Mass Effect 1 thermal weapons system, each weapon will now heat up when fired and cool when not fired. Your current weapon heat load is shown by a bar on the bottom of the screen. As long as a weapon has not overheated (full bar) it may be fired indefinitely. However, when a weapon overheats, the user must wait for it to cool down completly before firing again.

This essentially gives you infinite ammo but also forces you to not fire too often for fear of overheating.

---

This addon is very new and may be buggy. The cooling times are not properly balanced and such. Please report all bugs and other issues, thank you.

Credit for the overheated sound (from Mass Effect) belongs to BioWare™[www.bioware.com].

This should be able to be applied to speific weapons, not just the HL2 guns, so, you should have like, some specific energy guns overheat, but not every gun on the server.

I currently have it set to only affect (hopefully) HL2 weapons that fire bullets since I've been too lazy to add options to allow other weapons to work with the system too. However, if it is somehow (not sure how), affecting other weapons, let me know, and I'll patch it someday ('cause I'm lazy).

Nope, pressing the reload button will do nothing because technically you have no ammo to reload from.

I'll be sure to look into that when I find the time.

Yeah, you enable/disable ammo types on specific weapons, etc. But yeah, so you don't always have unlimited thermal ammo.

InsanseScientist:
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you asking if it would be possible to implement a system to allow or disallow certain HL2 weapons, SWEPS, custom weapons, and add-on weapons? For example, enabling it for the Gun Ship Gun add-on? If so yes other weapons can be added to the system, if that's not what you're asking, could you explain a little more please? Thanks.
