=========

Ever wanted to square off against your fellow Cutstuff members with more than just busters? With the Cutstuff Community Classes Expansion Expansion, now you can! Just add the Community Classes mod and you too can be playing as the pros! ...And everyone else.

What is Cutstuff Community Classes?
Cutstuff Community Classes is a pack that adds custom classes based on members of the Cutstuff Community. What'd you expect it to do, turn Megaman into a pony?

Can I be in the pack?
Yes, you can be in the pack, but there is one catch. You have to contribute something worthwhile to it in order to be accepted. Also, make sure it is of high quality. A few scribbles that look like they took 10 seconds or code that doesn't work will most likely not be accepted.

Things that can get you into the pack: Weapon DECORATE, ACS, a custom skin*, HUD sprites, a fully-completed class (weapons and all)
Things that won't get you into the pack: Class DECORATE, whining

*You need to make the whole skin. Just a few frames doesn't count.

In addition to one of the above, you should post a guide on how your class should work. (Unless you posted a class; then, this step's a bit redundant.) A template for one can be found below. Be sure to at least TRY to make your class balanced and at least somewhat original; a class with 0.1x armor, 2.5/2.5 speed, and a one-hit kill weapon or an Airman with a custom skin and Ballade colors will be rejected pretty quickly.

Name:
Armor: _._x (Weakness: )
Speed: _.__/_.__
Jump: __
Damage Type:
Role:
Weapon Dropped:

Description:

Skin:
Damage Information:

Armor is a damage multiplier, NOT a health value. All classes will have 100 health.

Any guidelines to help my character get in?

*The more interesting the concept, the more likely you are to get in. Generic classes can still make it, but they are significantly less likely to.
*As a rule of thumb, faster characters should have lower armor. Think about it: if you move fast, you can both dodge more effectively and rush health pickups. The opposite is also true; characters with tougher armor should have lower speed.
*If you see a class that fits a similar role to yours, try to think about differentiating your class a bit. Want a fast melee class? Go right ahead, but you're going to have to figure out how to make it a different experience from playing Jack Corvus.
* Make sure your class idea is appealing to others. If I wouldn't use it, it probably won't get accepted.

Is there a limit to the number of weapons I can have?
You are limited to a maximum of two weapons. Any more, and switching between them would be somewhat awkward.

Can I make more than one class for myself?
Technically not, but if you have characters that are well known in the community you can add them.

Can I make someone else's class?
If I approved them, then feel free!

Can I make a class based on another game?
Not unless it's part of your identity. This mod is meant for classes based on the Cutstuff community.

Can I make a bot of my class, too?
It isn't necessary, but go right ahead.

Hey, my class is underpowered!
Please, don't complain to me about how your class is unbalanced. If your class is truly unbalanced, other people will complain for you. If I listen to everyone throwing fits because their class “isn't strong enough”, eventually everyone will be overpowered.

Hey, this class is overpowered/underpowered!
Please feel free to post balance issues with other classes in this thread. If at all possible, give suggestions for how the class could be improved. Even if someone has already posted the complaint, be sure to tell me; I won't change it if one person is complaining, but if enough of the community thinks the same way, I will be more likely to tweak it

Can I be a beta tester?
No. I will choose who I want to beta test this when I need to. And whoever asks me will be put on my list of people to not consider.

When is the next version coming out?
Whenever it's done, OK?!

Any other questions? Post them in this thread and I'll answer them as as soon as I can. If they're relevant enough, they may even be added to this FAQ.
