Extra Dropped Class Weapons

(click to show/hide)

Yeah, YD said these weren't going in, so I'll just leave this here.
Edit: They're in now, kept for history's sake.

(One swift killing later)


Broken Time Stopper: Flash Man's time stopper with the limitations of good time stopper.
Flash Bulbs: Bright Man's Alt.
Skull Sniper: Skull Man's Alt.
Gravity Sphere: A slow sphere that crushes those that get too close at the wrong time. Good luck trying to combine it with wind storm.
Centaur Arrow: A slow, powerful, ripper.

Other changes:
- Fixed Time Stopper Ammo issue.
- Fixed Quick Man laser death issue.
- Pharaoh and Dive drop their weapons.
- Dr. Wily drops a WTank upon his death.
- The Killers drop their weapons.

Geminiman Revamp

Hey guys, you know Gemini Man?
Yeah, that class that can only once summon a clone that acts randomly and dies to seekermissiles and teammates?
I didn't like him.
So I changed him.

His weapon file is gigantic because his clone needs to match his colors.
It uses 2 unique ACS scripts and changes 1 number in the ACS dive mines use.
Oh and his actor changed a bit.

Slide with any weapon.

Remember when I made all the weapons able to slide? Well I did it again.

Bass can also double jump with any weapon; just changed one word in his ACS.
I have also made a new treble boost, please consider it.

Shade and Slash do not drop their weapons, I would have fixed this myself but I didn't feel like it.

And I would like to discuss having the killers drop their weapons, they have been nerfed quite a bit in v2c.

Plant Medic

(click to show/hide)

All this talk of Engineer and no mention of Medic.
I think it's time for Plantman to grow...

Weapon Settings

(click to show/hide)

Alright, so I learned that there are those who hate switching items, and those who hate swtiching weapons.

So why not please both?
Introducing custom settings.

This build does not actually address the problem itself; it puts mmc_napalmskin in your config.
It demonstrates that custom settings can not only change your weapon loadout, but also your skin.
So even if mmc_condenseweapons is not agreeable, class selection would be less cluttered with alternate skins.

I have tested this online. I just had some weird flickering problem in the spawn state that I'm pretty sure I fixed.

Duo Adaptor (pre v3 Jax version)

(click to show/hide)

Long ago, Ivory thoroughly rebuked the idea of a power fighters duo adaptor.
So being the classes guy, that meant I would have to make a duo weapon.
If anything, this at least shows the power of high speed projectiles.
(Duo buster replaces proto buster)

Hmmm looks interesting.

I'll test it tomorrow

[xColdxFusionx]

...I should make the v1b-NewWeaponCompat file, shouldn't I.

Meh, I'll do it later.

[Russel]

I must admit, you have impressed me again, these are nice weapons...such a shame Yellow Devil rejected them...

[Trollman]

doesn't centaurman lack the arrow on the classes? looks cool, I will download it

Updated first post with stuff from the class topic since it's so huge.

[Hallan Parva]

Quick question on your customizable settings add-on: is it possible to use words / strings as criteria for the added configuration parameters, or does it have to be a number? Also, can you set any number of options, or is it a simple "zero or one" on-off switch?

[JaxOf7]

CVARs can be set to anything.
The tricky part is Zdoom cannot evaluate strings and has very limited support for them overall.

I'd stick to numbers. 0 - Whatever works.
Also aliases are neat.

[JaxOf7]

Added duo buster.
