Or even have the plasma spurt from the tip of the broomstick.

Thanx for the goo, Griff. Was quite tasty!

I've PM'd you a download link for a modified version of your oxp. In short, when you are hit by a pumpkin missile, your hud is now replaced by pumpkin goo splatted all over the viewscreen and your original hud is restored 120 frames later. Give it a test and see what you think. Maybe next halloween I could come up with EQ_WINDSHIELD_WIPERS that smeers the goo off the screen and EQ_WINDSHIELD_WASHER to clean up the smeered pumkin goo.

From the everyone's a critic department: to add variety, you could maybe have 3 or 4 pumpkin splats, shown at random when she scores a hit...

Anyway, very nice model, as always!

[Killer Wolf]

the witch model's excellent, if somewhat stereotyping

i'll have to see if i can make a witch model based off The Secret Circle.

Added to the WIP section of the [wiki]OXP List[/wiki].

I've uploaded the release version of the oxp, i'm fairly sure it's all working and i haven't managed to break any of Eric's and CommonSenseOTB's amazing scripts.
I've lifted some of your date checking code from the Santa.oxp Eric, and editied it to only spawn the witches on Oct 31st (they'll be hanging out near the witchpoint obvs. )

lol groan.
actualyl, they should outnumber Thargoids in witchspace! be interesting seeing a pitched battle between bugships and broomsticks! (nice movie title there!)

Great OXP! Moved from WIP to normal section.

[Griff]

updated the oxp to v1.1 - if you have v1.0 please replace it with this version, i'd forgotten to include a 'requires.plist' limiting the oxp to Oolite 1.75.1 and higher, older versions of Oolite can have some serious problems dealing with the timers in the scripts, Eric also suggested some cool new tweaks for the witches weaponry so that's been included too.

[CommonSenseOTB]

Griff, I've PM'd you the download link for a version of this oxp that selects from 5 different goo huds randomly when hit by a pumpkin missile. The addition script for the witches has problems so you need to fix it or people will not see this cool stuff! It's all outlined in the readme that I've included for you.

Cheers mate!

@CommonSenseOTB - Thanks for the new hud code to select random splat images, i've added that in and updated the oxp, i'm not getting any problems with the date picking script though, it seems to work here (windows 7, oolite 1.75.4) - i wonder if i uploaded a broken version of the script yesterday, the oxp it went through quite a few revisions as i tried some new things out in the shaders and the date picker script was something i mangled so i could spawn the witches early to test them, i might have forgotten to change it back before uploading the oxp

Seeing as Halloween approaches, does anyone have a working copy of this OXP?
