[Expansion] Cutstuff Community Classes (Prism Alpha)

[Shade Guy]

Erg, don't take my word for the unshapeliness (is that a word?) of the head...I don't know how to describe it. I might edit the sprite a tiny bit to try and show you what I mean.
seriously 3/4 of players in the Roboenza servers look like Base skin to me :/

Gah, trying to figure out how weapons and classes work. I've managed to make it so he can jump higher/run faster/take more damage to things, but that seems to be the easy part.

I'm moving on up!  This is a rough first draft of the CF class' "Offense" mode.  Thanks to PressStart for making things for me to base this off of, and Titch007uk for inventing the concept of The Nightmare/The Shadow, which this was loosely based off of.
Now for me to talk about the skin.
- First off, I can guarantee that all these colors came from the DooM palette, so they should be fully compatible.
- The attack sprites show the skin darkening, fangs sprouting, and a hand turning solid black.  This is the skin's left hand, a subtle reference to me being left-handed.  These are subject to change--In fact, I plan to make them extend said left hand outwards.
- The hurt sprites show the skin losing its outline, a bit of breaking apart, and the eyes wincing in pain.  On one hand, I think it looks too dissassembled for a humanoid figure, but on the other hand, they aren't very finely broken up.  What do you think?
- The back/right and back sprites are very plain.  I've tried making the skin slightly transparent (You see the eyes from behind) , but it just didn't look right.  Right now, I'm thinking of adding a cape--that would double as what he pulls around him as a cloak when he enters Defense Mode.
Essentially, this is one giant "thoughts?" .

I like it. The only thing that really bugs me is that the top of the head sticks up a bit too much to be human-shaped.

- You can find the Doom Palette on the ZDoom Wiki.
- It's a bit hard to tell what he's doing in the attack sprite. I suggest fixing this.
- I like that pain sprite, although it makes the character look like he's an illusion (like Alien.)
- I like the cape idea. It would add that neat connection between the two forms.

Can't wait for this to be finished! Sounds like it's going to be fun!

I found the sumbitted classes list without my class, why? Just for knowing so.

[Laggy Blazko]

Well, I won't use the MoHAA taunts for my class because I don't want copyright problems with EA, so i'm going to do something different...
I'll upload my skin soon. Here's a description of my weapons (I'll make these too):
NadeSpam (main weapon):
Primary: Throws weak explosive balls quickly. Medium range.
Secondary: Uses a knife (Much like Needleman's alt but a bit weaker).
Tommy Gun (very weak Hitscanner. This antiquity wouldn't work well on 20XX, but i'll use it for fun):
Primary: Fires very weak (damage would be 1 or 2) hitscan attacks.
Secondary: Reloads. A clip contains 30 bullets and you have 60 extra bullets.

Okay, this is just confusing, this is my 1st time working with morph actors I'm not sure whats wrong, I have the weapons of the class set to switch to a different form, but for some reason, when i switch weapon, it goes to a class with no weapons, then I switch one more time and it goes to the other class, but now I can't even use other weapons, and if I picked up a weapon while in the weaponless state, it makes me use it, but I can't use any other, I walk over the pickup map weapons once, it plays the pickup sound, then when I walk over it again, nothing happens, no pickup sound, no pickup message, nothing

here is the acs code I used

Code: [Select]

Script 716 (void)
{
if(ThingCountName("IceSparky",1) < 1){{
MorphActor(0, "Sparky", "", 999999999999, 0, "", "");
}
}}

Script 717 (void)
{
if(ThingCountName("Sparky",1) < 1){{
MorphActor(0, "IceSparky", "", 999999999999, 0, "", "");
}
}}
and yes I know this is clearly a copy of the roboenza code, can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Your class hasn't been made yet.

*whaps the classes a few more times* One last beta test should do the trick. *crosses fingers*

[Gummywormz]

Before anyone complains / asks what my class does:

Main fire is alternating fire / ice swords. I know the hud is dumb and doesn't make sense, I'm gonna work on a new one soon. There's also a random bug where the hud animations get reversed.

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

I like it. The only thing that really bugs me is that the top of the head sticks up a bit too much to be human-shaped.

I'm still not seeing it, and again, I don't want to make the head flat.

- You can find the Doom Palette on the ZDoom Wiki.

Thanks, but I already found one--in fact, that might've been where I found it.

- It's a bit hard to tell what he's doing in the attack sprite. I suggest fixing this.

Okay, I'll try and modify the fire sprites and put more emphasis on the left hand.

- I like that pain sprite, although it makes the character look like he's an illusion (like Alien.)

Well, since he takes a fuckload of damage in Offensive form, I thought it'd be kind of fitting if the pain sprite was sort of breaking apart.  I'll try and make one that's more subtle.

- I like the cape idea. It would add that neat connection between the two forms.

Then that's what I'll do!

Can't wait for this to be finished! Sounds like it's going to be fun!
*gets out his bats, just in case...*

It's definitely going to be interesting.
I thought he was relatively balanced and all, though, what with taking a lot of damage from the tiniest hit...


I'll wait another day before I continue my work.  If Laggy doesn't get anything to me, the head will stay the same.  Otherwise, the other modifications shall proceed as planned.

Some of the bots don't work right, but other than that, it's great!

  Oh, really? Whoops! Which ones did I screw up?

/me takes a look

The Gummywormz one, and the Chimera Man one, I think.

Oh, and I'd like to add my botchat as well:

"(insert stage name here) is the best stage ever!"
"/me starts paying attention."

"A point for me?"
"Oh, hey! Explosion!"
"Ow, that... Didn't... Hurt."

[KilledStrings]
"Ow."
"I expected this to happen."

[RoamingStrings]
"Like pants."
"...Where the hell am I going again?"
"/me does something random"

[RareRoamingStrings]
"I WAS FROZEN TODAY!!!... What? I was."

[EnragedStrings]
"STOP THAT."

"Oh... My... I actually WON!?"
"Hey, look at that, I was actually successful!"

"Hey, it's... just like every other time I play..."

You're supposed to load the original classes mod first.
