SilverFire's weapon pack?
-
Good to see that there is still a community out here - when I couldn’t find LancersReactor and learned of its fate, that was rather disheartening, but at least that search pointed me here.
Anyway.
One of the mods I most enjoyed on TLR was SilverFire’s weapon pack - with the mass drivers and cluster missiles etc. With TLR being gone, that weapon pack seems to have dropped off the face of existence.
It’s still included in the Rebalance mod, but… speaking plainly, I hate that mod. It breaks the feel of the game far more than I am willing to suffer through, and it also focuses on, in my mind, the wrong feature of the cluster missile pods; I enjoyed them for being ammo-free, and would rather have their fire rate chopped(maybe even under that of a standard missile launcher) than have them consume ammo, where balance is concerned.
Is the original weapon pack still out there somewhere? Or is there a way for me to tease it out of the Rebalance mod without reinventing the wheel? I’ll obviously have to learn some of the modding preliminaries to get the cluster missile pods closer to the behaviour I want, but lacking 3D modelling utilities(or experience enough in the free alternatives out there, if they’d even work), I don’t feel adequate to the task of making the mod anew.
Addendum: Belatedly found it in the archive - finding it was… a little harder than it needed to be(at least in Firefox, it doesn’t remember sort order when I tell it to go to a new page…), but it’s there. Which just leaves the possibility of down-tuning the fire rate of the weapons somewhat…

Oh, and here seem to be even more of SF packs:
