Maxim Gun

Maxim Gun

The Soviet Maxim machine gun of 1910/30 on its wheeled Sokolov mount. I built it from the drawings of the Soviet manual of 1944, so the parts are where they should be.

You build it with the hammer near a forge and pull it by its trail like a cart. Load belts at the slot on its right side, take the grips and shoot. It turns all the way round and fires 10 rounds a second, every round is a tracer. It hurts everything in the world: creatures, rocks, ore, trees and your own buildings, and it slowly digs dents in the ground. The buildings of other players break only when you have PvP on.

Shoot too long and it overheats. First it steams, then it burns your hands and sets you on fire, and at the end it jams for 20 seconds.

Belts are crafted at a forge, 250 rounds each.

Controls:

• E on the trail pulls the gun, E again lets it go
• E on the slot on the right loads a belt
• E on the grips takes the gun, the mouse aims, the left mouse button fires, E or jump lets go
• On a gamepad A takes the grips, the right stick aims and RT fires

Install it on every player and on the server. A server without the mod deletes the guns. It runs on Gunworks, a library for guns and artillery, install it too. A mod manager does it for you.

Settings are in BepInEx/config/vladasz.maxim.cfg:

• RoundsPerMinute, 60 to 1200, default 600
• Damage, 1 to 200, default 20. The damage of 1 round
• InfiniteAmmo, default false. The gun fires with no belts
• Gun, the cost of the gun, default BlackMetal:30,Iron:20,FineWood:20,LinenThread:10
• Belt, the cost of 1 belt, default Iron:2,Coal:2,LinenThread:1

A server that runs the mod sends its settings to every player.
