The melee weapons were blessed by the heaven, & now they become "Celestial Melee Weapon" that contain certain celestial powers. Now, not only zombies bring chaos to the apocalyptic world, survivors also bring salvation & descended hope from the heaven with the blessed celestial melee weapons scattered all over the world.
.
This idea somehow just came when I thought about Mr. Rec tus' great inventions on custom weapons & what I learned from my master here about vscripts, Everice. I learned many things & tricks from Everice's "Calamity Trigger" mod. As Mr. Rec tus gave permission to use & modify the custom weapons, I decided to help port them into custom campaigns. In other words, this mod works in custom campaigns.

In short, certain melee weapons are upgraded with the power of flamethrower, Pipe Shotgun & LAW Rocket Launcher. As it's unreal version, the friendlyfire & self damages are greatly reduced or even disabled. The explosion no longer makes big objects (cars, forklifts etc). & this mod doesn't use any melee scripts, so it won't conflict with any melee script mods. There are 3 types of melee ability:
1. FIRE BREATH TYPE:
>> Short range
>> Flamethrower effects
>> Linear AOE fire damage
.
2. LIGHTNING SPARK TYPE:
>> Medium range
>> Lightning spark effects
>> Linear randomly spread AOE blast damage
>> The closer the deadlier
.
3. EXPLOSION TYPE:
>> Long range
>> Explosion effects
>> Sphere AOE blast damage on targeted object
.
Here's the list of the upgraded melee weapons:
FIRE BREATH TYPE:
1. Fireaxe.
2. Electric Guitar.
3. Knife.
.
LIGHTNING SPARK TYPE:
1. Machete.
2. Frying Pan.
3. Golf Club.
4. Baseball Bat.
.
EXPLOSION TYPE:
1. Katana.
2. Crowbar.
3. Tonfa.
4. Cricket Bat.
.
There are 3 files inside the zip file that can be used as alternatives in case if this mod conflicts with other vscript mods:
1. "celestial melee weapons.vpk" = This can work together with most mods except "Left 4 Bots" due to unknown errors on console.
2. "celestial melee weapons 2.vpk" = This can work together with "Left 4 Bots" & most mods but will conflict with "Merciless Survivor Bots" because I used the same file to trigger the effects.
3. "celestial melee weapons 3.vpk" = This can work on all mods. Use this if you don't want to sacrifice any mods (still prototype though).

Credits:
- Mr. Rec tus for the permission & the great inventions.
- Everice for the great vscript mods that taught me many things.
.
Notes:
- It works in custom campaigns.
- It works in any modes as long as the modes allow mods.
- It won't conflict with melee weapon skin mods, so you can use this together with any melee skin mods without problem.
- You need to host a server, or the server needs to have this mod installed to make this work properly.
