This seems like a good idea. I'd like to lend a hand but, since there's no "reserving," I kinda don't know how to start it off. Maybe I can work on Hammer Joe first.

Yep, was thinking on implimenting a sort of Ride Armor idea for each of the Joes. It could be a drop from the respecive Joe:
Apache Joe = Apache Armor
Rider Joe = Rider Armor
Gunner Joe = Gunner Armor
Cannon Joe = Cannon Armor
Truck Joe = Truck Armor
Aqua Joe = Flying in water, ala YD BubbleMan class
Sniper Armor Joe = Item-4

or randomly from Eddie. Each of the Armors would make the Joe immune to damage, but the Armor can take damage off-side the fact that it's actual armor is much weaker. It would also last a maximum of 10-20 seconds before self-destrcting as a sort of a counter-balance.
Whoo we've got progress
Ukiyama, being the total bro he is, coded Piraparee!... for the most part, anywho. He hasn't really fixed the whole 'not allowing you to get more weapons' thingy, and the class doesn't have an HUD yet, but it's fully functional. So yeah.
Took pictures of it, should be here soon.
EDIT: Here we go.

This small electric shot is virtually a slightly more damaging, slower version of Spark Shock. It can stun. You'll be using this for more mid-range combat.

Huh? That's weird. Looks like that Gemini Laser bounced off of me. And Joe is taking damage, too?

Oh!
Piraparee's charging shield. It reflects most projectiles, but not buster shots... wait a sec. Anyway, it also deals hugging damage, but the trade-off is that you can't move. Hold down the fire button to charge it up. You'll rape bots because they crowd around you, but not really human players. It's also pretty loud, so yeah. Ambush 'em, basically.
As I mentioned before, no HUD, and the Piraparee skin pictured is simply temporary. This will most likely be our first completed class, unless any of my other coders mention otherwise. did Michael712 ever finish that Sniper Joe yet? >.<
We're getting work done here, folks.
M712 teasers. Teasing the viewers since 21/4/2012 6:20pm GMT time.
Almost done making my Sniper Joe class, which can be edited into something slightly different for this mod. He just needs a view tweaks and he'll be finished!
Skin and shield are both built in. (Laggy Blazko made that blaster HUD, so credit him for that)

Main fire. Shoots a small bullet that travels at very high speed and does 19 damage. Slow RoF. With precise aiming, this weapon can be deadly. The firing animation for the HUD needs tweaking here.

Grenade toss. You get 8 of these. Very hard to it other players but if they're in the centre of the explosion, they can receive up to 70% damage. You're not immune to your own grenades umad?

Quite a bit of this stuff will probably be subject to change. I was making this class awhile before this expansion existed, and if Star Dood wants a slightly different version for this expansion, that's fine.
Hmmm......you could just make the lower part of the "beard" black
EDIT: Ta-daaaaaaaaaaa!
