Now that I've got a working set of MUG effects, I'm gonna shoot some pics and post them. So hang on, you're about to get a healthy dose of eye candy!

Burn/Freeze some characters and kick them off the tower in CTF-Face1

Here's the stuff:
This shot shows off the flamer's sweeping ability:
Swing it!
Notice how the flame shapes itself around objects it hits:
Got Heat?
This ain't no celebrity roast.
Freeze, punk!
Here I am discovering that the bots know how to use the mug:
Oh! put it out! put it out!!
Is it hot in here or is just the flamethrower pointed at me?
Dramatically standing against the firestorm.
The bots DEFINATELY know how to use the MUG.
Even though you can't see me, I assure you, I AM in this pic:
Chill out, lady!
Just chillin'
You want ice with that?
This is what happens when too many people get the flamethrower...
Burn, Baby!
Frozen Corpse
We're just standin' around bein' frozen...
They say extreme cold can make solid matter brittle... Guess they were right.
Fire vs. Ice
Whatever was flowing through those pipes ain't flowing no more...
That hammer ain't gonna help you much now.
Fire Wars...
Missed me!
Crossfire... literally
Never bring a sword to a flamethrower fight.
Knockin' em dead with my icer, baby!
Face the flame!
Ohh! That's GOTTA hurt!
In some of those pics the MUG looks like it has a crossbow stuck in it. It won't look like that in the PR. That's just a little bug we're working out.

That looks so god damn cool I can't find a proper way to express how cool it is.

Excellent.
Just a question... will flames and frost blasts be able to cancel each other out?
Just wondering...

Well no, at least not at this stage. However, if you get caught on fire, you can fire the icer point-blank into a wall to put yourself out. And the same applies if you are frozen, just point the flamer at your feet and warm yourself up a bit. It works on teammates too, so you can unfreeze your buddy, or cool down a flaming pal.
When thawing/extinguishing yourself, you have to be careful not to overdo it though.

How do you aim at the ground to thaw yourself out with flame while your frozen? If you can move while frozen, what's the point in freezing?
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2004 8:34 pm
Yeah, actually we discussed that and will probably change that...

The death message for the ice function of the MUG is currently __ was frozen by __, which seems a little bland. Maybe a reference to freezer burn? That'd be slightly better.

Don't worry, will liven up the death message 
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2004 11:46 pm
how about for the ice death massage it says"_ suddenly turned into a meat popsicle, thanks to_'s m.u.g."
