ThunderWalker Overview

ThunderWalker 3.1
Overview

The ThunderWalker Server (a well modified partial conversion of the 3wave CTF server) is all that remains of the ThunderWalker Clan. While the Clan has had to disband for various reasons, the work they put into the server has not gone to nothing. And development on the server continues by two members:

Laser Cannon | 4 | Han Solo would be proud. A bright-red beam will burn your enemies into a well-done carcass.

Grenade Launcher | 6 | Litter the floor with explosive pineapples for a little fragfest surprise.
Rocket Launcher | 7 | When it absolutely, posotively has to be there overnight.
Sniper Rifle | 8 | One shot. One kill. If you miss, you are a sitting duck though.

Kamakazi | 170 | Entering Impulse 170 will cause you to explode with great force. The pieces of your body will fly around and then likewise explode. Works one time per 5 lives. Damaged is increased if you are carrying rockets.

RUNES
Name | Description | Screenshot
Rune of Hell Magic | The holder of this magic fires at twice the rate of normal. |
Rune of Black Magic | Your weapons inflict twice the damage of normal. |
Rune of Earth Magic | You are resistant to damage, taking only 1/2 damage from all sources except the sniper, which you take 10% damage from. |
Rune of Elder Magic | You magically regnerate hitpoints up to a maximum of 200. In addition, your health will not "rot" away of you pick up a 100-health box. |

Rune of Protection

This rune offers several benefits:

- Immunity to "splash" damage (ie, explosions)
- Immunity to Slime
- Immunity to Drowning
- Resistance to Lava

Rune of Vampirism | A person with this rune will be healed 2/3 the amount of damage they do to a maximum of 200 hitpoints. Health below 200 will not "rot" away. |
Rune of Living Armor | The person's armor is magically brought to life, and will repair itself over time. |
Rune of Cloaking | A person with this rune is invisible, as if they had the Ring of Shadows, except when they fire their weapon or when they are damaged, during which time they become visible. The cloaking will also fail if you fall into water, slime or lava. |

CHANGES FROM ORIGINAL CTF
Grappling Harpoon | The grappling harpoon replaced the grappling hook. The function is about the same, however, the model is a little easier to aim and has a more technological feel to it.
Airfist | A nice defensive weapon that will help to deflect incoming fire and incoming baddies.
Shotgun MkII | The shotgun has been retooled for faster firing. You can pick up a second combat shotgun and wield both of them at once!
Less-Emphasized Rocket Launcher | The rocket launcher's damage has been decreased some to put a greater emphasis on skill, and less on getting a lucky shot.
Regeneration Rune Improved | The regeneration rune now kicks you up to 200 health.
Entity Changes | Several maps have new and improved entities for better compatibility with TW-CTF.
