Purpose: This example D-mod shows you what a real firebow looks like.

Installation: I assume the author had in mind that others could use this in their D-mod, but there are no guidelines on how to make this work in your D-mod. You have to copy the graphicsdink and graphicseffects folders to the graphics folder of your D-mod, and add the item-b3.c, and dam-a1.c files to the story folder of your D-mod. Then you need to add this line add_item("item-b3",438,13); to a script, or you can use the script man.c from this file and adjust it.

Good: It works fine.

Not so good: The firebow is the same bow as the original one with some yellow moving lines on it to indicate fire. But it does not look like fire at all. In the example D-mod the dead pillbugs look like they have been burnt, but if you want the same effect on other enemies you have to modify the graphics of those other enemies in order to have the same effect.

Overall: There is not much difference between the original bow and this one.

Fit for: This file is not very useful.

I really expected something much better than this, when i downloaded the firebow. In the example D-Mod (De-Mod...) you shall kill pillbugs with it, and then they are burned.. BUT (!) they are burned if you kill them with your fists too! If the creator of this weapon had done a little more work on the graphics and the scripts, i would give this a much higher score than 0.1.
