This is a modified version of Desert Behemoths: Sandworms! by frozenhamburgers.
Original project license: GPL
Why this version?
The original mod crashes on dedicated servers when a player shoots a sandworm. This is because SonicBoomFx is a client-only class, but it was being called on the server side.
This fork fixes that issue with a simple client-side check. All original gameplay and features remain unchanged.
What's fixed?
- ✅ Server crash when hunting sandworms (shooting)
- ✅ No changes to gameplay, balance, or mechanics
