You don't think that when I make a mod, it always has a flawless start, do you?
This here is a small pack of four "predecessor" mods that I have kept over the years, despite their superior successors. Why have I kept them? I'm not completely sure. But they always give me a feeling of giddiness when I see them. It's like looking at baby pictures of your grown-up child, I guess.
A run-down on what's what:
-- C Gravity Gun --
Successor: HL2 Gravity Gun
This is what the formidable(?) HL2 Gravity Gun used to be. A device that picks actors and devices up at point-blank range. It's completely velocity based and uses no fancy math or anything of the like. Attempting to pick up large objects could result in a mess.
-- Plasma Shield Gun --
Successor: Handheld Energy Shield Generator
Hold fire to project an energy shield around you. It isn't hands-free, so you can't use any devices while it is activated.
-- Tech Tablet --
Successor: GMod Phys Gun and Tool Gun
This was originally going to be my own private version of TLB's "FBM CB" Computer Brain mod, but while the two of them have similar user operations, TLB's mod seems to focus on destruction, while this (and its successor) are more for construction and manipulation. It eventually turned into GMod because of the popularity of GMod on the internet, and the name "Tech Tablet" didn't really sound right.
-- Potions --
Successor: Phoenix Potion
The potions don't exactly have anything phoenixy in them, but they did inspire the creation of the Phoenix Potion. There are seven potions total, and they all work except for the Gravity Minus Potion. Not sure why that one doesn't work.
There are other predecessor mods that aren't in this pack, but it's not like they completely worked anyways. The old TF Grappling Gun had a stable and working rope, but was deleted once the Claw Shot and Hook Shot were created (those were old versions of the TF version). The Medical Healer Mk2 from the Medical Supplies pack also has a predecessor, which is the Medical Healer in my old Cricket's Mini Mod Pack.
