It was our first test of the grapple and a number of things will be changed. But it was a lot of fun.

Looks really sweet, can't wait. Will there be an option/command to restrict the grapple? Or can you only get via a command?

Its a weapon currently so the mapper would have to give them to players.
What we are thinking is a console command that allows the grapple to attach to anything, or only assigned areas. Sorta like the barnacle gun that can only attach to those slimy surfaces.

Do you have a picture of what the model on the weapon will look like? :D also does the grapple attack the edges of the skybox?

The grapple defiantly wouldn't grab the skybox.
As for the view model, I am still trying to figure out how it should look. Should it be a gun with a trigger? Or a rod that shoots the grapple from the end.
I was thinking I would go with the rod idea. Reminds me of andromeda.

the crossbow model but edit the bolt or something that looks combine since they repel.

I think you should make it somewhat like the hookshot! :O

A hookshot model would be awesome! Especially if you can get chain sounds like from zelda.

Hmm. This sounds interesting. How does a body issue a command to an NPC.

In OC_frozen whatever there are 2 NPCs that just stand around unless monsters come to them. When it says team following, they don't seem to follow.

p.s. Now that flamewars have moved elsewhere I may stick around another month to see what develops. I may even pay for my server for December as well.

That sounds cool. I was wondering about allowing players to get to areas that aren't really there.

Would that be a flame? If you had read my responses, you would have seen that they were to two different messages.
