hey steel i was wondering if u cud maybe make a blow up mod where when u kill or blow up someone it looks like an actual explosion.

Or a bash mod like what pablo was asking =P lol

Actually, I made and added huge fiery explosions to the nades, and glowing mushroom clouds to the smokenades last year. But I found that they caused lag spikes on the server when there were a lot of players, so I took them back out.
I also had a knife in there for the smoke grenade for very brief time... didn't like it, took it back out.
As for the bash mod... I don't think it would be worth the stress on the server. I mean, it would be cute to pull out a baseball bat to bash someone with, but would it cause server conflicts and/or possible lag?
My methodology has always been to keep my mods as small as possible to be the best possible. Big mods not only take up more space on the player's computers, but they limit the numbers of custom maps that will not have conflicts. I'd rather have the ability to play lots more different custom maps, smoothly.
Thanks for the suggestion though, and keep 'em coming. Remember, Modern Weapons Custom Maps was once just an idea too.
