System Shock 2 Unstable Grenades v1.2

- Requires SS2 NewDark patch v2.48 or higher.
- Should be compatible with all fan missions, campaigns, and other weapon mods.
- Can be activated mid-game. Deactivating mid-game might leave some ammo stacks stuck with an incorrect model.

The Many's corrosive influence has spread beyond just degrading the guns. Now it's degrading the grenades as well! Grenade ammo has become dangerously unstable, and will explode if damaged or dropped too far. Use this to your advantage to set explosive traps for your enemies.

Remember that you can use Alt-click in the inventory to split off individual grenades from stacks.

If you do set off a stack of grenades, every grenade in the stack will explode individually.

Updated to v1.1 to fix an accidental dependency on SCP being installed.

you can make it more exciting if some of them dont explode, and some of them get a extra long delay, short delay, etc

and if you shoot a belt maybe some of them fly around and explode later or don't explode. so its chaotic and dangerous like real bombs, and if some of them get damaged where you can't put them in a gun later

that would be a more hardcore mod though, a fork, because it might not turn out to be fun.

These are excellent ideas i think. It actually does sound fun & more immersive..

That also makes me think it would be cool if someone made a grenade belt when you have multiples. Like a bandolier

Reloading the grenade launcher using split duplicates the grenade.

Also when using this in SecMod, taking energy damage causes the grenades in your inventory to explode, including the prism/radium-prism grenades, and this does harm the player. Hand grenades, scramblers, and cesium bombs are not affected.

Unstable Grenades updated to v1.2. Fixed script duplication issue causing inventory duplication. Could not replicate exploding in inventory issue, but added some safeguards to make it less likely to happen.

the zip name probably should include the version number.

[6741a2ae9eacaZylonBane]

My mod archive names (usually) don't include the version number because the filename is what's displayed in the mod manager as the mod name, and the version number isn't part of the name.

The version number is easily accessible via the readme.
