Super bow
MARBLE MAN:
I was looking back at old blockland when i stumbled upon this:
//function BowItem::onUse(%this, %player, %InvPosition)
//{
// //check for quiver
// //if you dont have it, regular bow
// //if you do, super bow
//
// %client = %player.client;
//
// %mountPoint = %this.image.mountPoint;
// %mountedImage = %player.getMountedImage(%mountPoint);
//
//
// if(%mountedImage)
// {
// if(%mountedImage == bowImage.getId() || %mountedImage == superbowImage.getId())
// {
// //some kind of bow mounted so, unmount it
// %player.unMountImage(%mountPoint);
// messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', -1);
// %player.currWeaponSlot = -1;
// }
// else
// {
// //something other than bow mounted, so do bow selection and mount
// if(%player.getMountedImage($BackSlot))
// {
// if(%player.getMountedImage($BackSlot) == quiverImage.getId())
// {
// %player.mountimage(superBowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
// messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
// %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
// }
// else
// {
// %player.mountimage(bowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
// messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
// %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
// }
// }
// else
// {
// %player.mountimage(bowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
// messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
// %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
// }
// }
//
// }
// else
// {
// //nothing mounted so do bow selection and mount
// //something other than bow mounted, so do bow selection and mount
// if(%player.getMountedImage($BackSlot))
// {
// if(%player.getMountedImage($BackSlot) == quiverImage.getId())
// {
// %player.mountimage(superBowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
// messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
// %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
// }
// else
// {
// %player.mountimage(bowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
// messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
// %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
// }
// }
// else
// {
// %player.mountimage(bowImage, $RightHandSlot, 1, %skin);
// messageClient(%client, 'MsgHilightInv', '', %InvPosition);
// %player.currWeaponSlot = %invPosition;
// }
// }
//}

Interesting, have you been able to find the superbow anywhere else?
Space Guy:
This was used in Blockland v0002, I think the Bow (and other weapons in the original RTB mod) had a slightly faster firing rate when you had a quiver on. Most of that is to do with the original Blockland/Torque engine item select methods (Press a number to use and the same number to put away instead of the scroll bar)
lordician:
So that's where the myth of the quiver and bow came from..
Kniaz:
Yep, what Space Guy said.
If you look at the armor and helmet you'll notice they buff your health, too.
