<<"Heavy Turret", a mod for Cortex Command by Thomas Thorne aka Systmh>>

	it's me again. this is my first mod, once plagued
	by bugs as i was very new to the logic of modding
	Cortex Command at the time. i think it's better now.

This .rte contains:
	--the Heavy Turret
	  a modified ACrab class.
		a big, stationary thickly-armored pile of servos
		with a gun sticking out the front. that's essentially
		what it is. lots of destroyable armor on this one.
		place them around your base in the mapmaker, or drop
		them into battle... if you have a dropship hefty
		enough to carry it. it's pretty heavy.
	--the Smoothbore
	  a TDExplosive launcher.
		this is the gun mounted on the turret. an unrifled
		cannon firing H.E.A.T. projectiles that melt through
		cover and spray hot molten death all over anything
		on the other side. it can be carried by a standard
		soldier, but it's very heavy, so no jumping. and the
		recoil will tear you to shreds.. so it's a one-shot.
	--a Turret Test Scene
	  exactly what it sounds like.
		try to get past the turrets and smash the enemy brain.

known bugs:
	--if you drop the turret on sand, it will sometimes 'dig' its
	  way down and fall off the map.  but i might've fixed it.
	  hmm...
	--if you don't fire the gun for a long time, particles will
	  accumulate in the muzzle flash (?!?) and will lag the game
	  a wee bit when you do fire.
	--the barrel doesn't cycle its recoil animation when you fire.
	  i'm sure i'm missing a property somewhere. oh well.
	--i sure do like the idea of hauling the gun around with an
	  AHuman actor for a single, powerful suicide shot. but
	  sometimes, the round will backfire and detonate in the
	  chamber--spraying nearly useless shrapnel only a few yards
	  around. the manufacturer apologizes for this, and reminds
	  you to always practice gun safety.

credits:
	--once again, Azukki for the templates.
	--some sound effects were shamelessly hacked up and retooled.
	  also, a clicky-reloady noise came from funcom.
	--this mod was inspired by my unnatural love for the gory
	  aftermath of a dropship swatted out of the sky. i will do
	  you a kindness and omit the many poems i wrote about that
	  beautiful arieal waltz of the gibs.
