CSCAT: Taking Submissions and Looking for Coders!

[Knux]

Well, Sentry Missile does home in. Sorry I didn't make myself clear, but I thought it would be obvious from it being a Dive Missile replacement. Plus, it's a lot of damage in one projectile, not multiple missiles for all of the damage, with slow ROF.

[Ivory]

So it does continue to home in after it finds a target? My bad. You made it sound like the Homing Sniper in the future expansion which only redirects itself once as it finds a target. None the less, it still seems fairly similar to Homing Sniper, ultimately it's HD's call.

[Knux]

Yeah, it's fairly similar. If anything though, I still have other weapon ideas, so it's good.

EDIT: For instance...

Name: Mud Tracker
Colors: Dark Brown and Dark Red
Weapon Replaced: Water Wave or another floor hugging weapon.

Description:

Mud Tracker fires a sphere of mud that rolls on the floor at decent but not great speed, scattering small puddles of mud. Anyone stepping on the puddles will take 5 damage and will walk as if on ice for 6 seconds seconds. When the projectile hits a wall, it scatters a bit more mud puddles and disappears. If a player gets hit by the projectile itself, they take 40 damage, their running is as if walking on ice for 12 seconds and their vision is a bit clouded with a brownish color.

This weapon is mostly utility and shouldn't be used to frag someone. This is because it has 60 ammo and uses 20 per shot, plus it has a rate of fire of one shot every 3 seconds, which prevents spam.

The amount of puddles scattered and anything else can be adjusted as long as it doesn't stray away from the main idea of the weapon.

I have other ideas, but maybe later...

[Hallan Parva]

Name: Power Stone
Colors: randomly spawns as red, blue, or yellow
HUD General Appearance: none
Item it Replaces?: Tango Roll or E-Tank
Concept: gradual powerup that rewards survivability with the new weapons

Power Stones periodically spawn onto the map in place of other item pickups such as Tango Roll or E-Tanks. Picking up one by itself isn't going to do much of anything besides sit around in your inventory, and when you pick up the second one it doesn't seem like it will do much, either. However, if you manage to acquire three Power Stones, a second ammo bar will temporarily appear on your HUD and you will enter Power Drive. Think of Power Drive like a slightly-modified Terminator bonus. All weapons will gain an increase of power, whether it's projectile speed, attack damage, or rate of fire. Weapons still use ammo, so you can't get TOO excited, and after a period of time Power Drive will expire and revert you back to normal.

For this to work, all the weapon modders will have to add some sort of "PowerFire" state that fires the upgraded projectiles as well as a jump command that skips to PowerDrive if the player is holding a certain flag like "PowerDrive" or something.

[HD_]

Agh, I don't have time to approve/reject anything, but Sentry Missle will remain approved unless, when 3a is released, I find that it IS too similar to Homing Sniper.

Also, quickly APPROVING SaviorSword's because that's all I have time for.

[Hilman170499]

So... Triad Thunder is a bad idea, so I'll make another submission:

Name:Chameleon Chain MK2
Colour:Red and Green
Replaces Knight Crush
HUD:Buster
Concept:Shoots a red ball that travels in a Rolling Cutter range. If it hits an item, you will take it immediately. If Weapon Stay is on, you will only grab the weapon. If it hits a wall, It will pull the player towards it. If it hits a damaging object, it will turn to a shield that deals damage itself.

[Jennifer]

Name: Flame Burst
Colors: Gold and Crimson. (Red)
HUD General Appearance: Buster HUD
Weapon it Replaces: Fire Storm/Atomic Fire
Concept: Shoots a Rebounding Fireball that explodes after about 5 Seconds, or on it's Third hit with a Wall. Can be Prematurely Detonated by Firing again, Similar to Gyro Attack. Medium Ammo, 20-30 Damage.

What are you talking about? This totally isn't a slightly modified Gemini Laser + TF2 Detonator Cross!

[Knux]

Shoots a Rebounding Fireball that explodes after about 5 Seconds, or on it's Third hit with a Wall.

Shouldn't it replace Flame Blast then? (Unless there already is a replacement.)

[BiscuitSlash]

Here's what I would have submitted:

Name: Silk Shot
Replaces: Dust Crusher
HUD: Buster
Colours: Same as Silk Shot from MMX2 (Orange and green IIRC)
Concept: Fires a heap of junk that is fired upwards and quickly falls to the ground. Upon contact with something, it splits into 4 smaller pieces that do much less damage. HOWEVER, depending on the map, the junk changes. If it is a rocky map, you fire a rock instead that bounces once when colliding with walls and floors. If it's a forest/leafy map, it fires a bunch of leaves that float upwards before falling apart. If it's a crystal-ly map, you fire a crystal that's like the junk only it bounces lots of times.

But yeah, you said you didn't want to use too many weapons from other games so meh

I was going to make this weapon for personal use anyway.

[Gummywormz]

I've coded Oblivion Buster. I'm also going to code lightning chain.

[fortegigasgospel]

I've coded Oblivion Buster. I'm also going to code lightning chain.

How many and how large of frames will it need so I know what to make it. (I read coded as done the non-visual stuff)

[HD_]

I like all the concepts after SaviorSword's and don't feel like a typing a wall of text, so they're all APPROVED!

Also, Pimp Slap made me laugh.

I hope you guys are able coders/will employ able coders!

Oh Boy! Stuff!

Fusion Bomb

(click to show/hide)

Replaces: Ballade Cracker
HUD: Fusion Bomb Throw (Custom, already made)
Color Scheme: Blue and Orange

The user throws a bomb that explodes into four fragments that spread in a cross. The fragments are also explosive, but are affected by gravity and only do half damage.

Pros: Huge damage, easy to hit with
Cons: High ammo consumption, difficult to get full damage with in most cases

Other Notes: This is the same as Fusion Bomb <Copy> from CSCC. It's not exactly super-unique, but it's the first thing I thought of.

Icicle Wing

(click to show/hide)

Replaces: Blizzard Attack
HUD: Not sure. Most likely Shield.
Color Scheme: Cyan and White

The user summons icicles which fly out behind them in a wing-like pattern.

Pros: High damage, Low ammo consumption
Cons: Near impossible to aim

Other Notes: This weapon is already coded, but it currently has a Buster HUD. I can still send it in if you want.

Element Prism

(click to show/hide)

Replaces: ...I honestly have no clue for this one.
HUD: Buster (Custom)
Colors: Grey and White

The user shoots an arcing fireball with a damaging trail, stunning lightning discs, and ice balls that shatter like Crystal Eye, all in rapid succession.

Pros: High damage up close, Stun, splitting/bouncing shots
Cons: High ammo cost, difficult to use effectively at range

Other Notes: Already coded, but the sprites need to be overhauled. (I'm a terrible spriter.)

Stone Drill

(click to show/hide)

Replaces: Search Snake
HUD: Buster
Color Scheme: Brown and Grey

The user fires a drill that quickly burrows underground. The drill digs along briefly, then pops out of the ground and flies through the air. It's affected by gravity, and when it comes back down it burrows again. Rinse and repeat. Can rip through targets

Pros: Absolutely massive damage, can hit multiple targets, can catch foes off-guard.
Cons: Slow firing rate, awkward firing angle.

Other Notes: Not made yet. The burrow effect would be similar to that of Drill Man (YD Classes).

Ampere Cable

(click to show/hide)

Replaces: Spark Shock/Thunder Claw (when released)
HUD: Custom (May need help with this one)
Color Scheme: Black and Yellow

The user swings a whip that sparks with energy. Striking a foe with it deals damage, stuns them, spins them around, and pulls you into them. Striking the floor causes a sonic boom that causes foes' ears to ring (a high-pitched whine will play from their speakers).

Pros: Stuns foes, Low Ammo Consumption
Cons: Short range, somewhat slow

Other Notes: Not made yet. The whip itself would have a visual effect like Iron Tongue/Thunder Claw.

[DarkAura]

Weapon Get! Miracle Bomb!

Colors: Purple and Dark Gray

HUD: MegaHand

Weapon Replace: Danger Wrap

Concept: Fires a large, slow-moving bubble in-front, left, right, and behind the player. Each bubble contains a bomb and can bounce off walls. When some time passes, instead of self-dentonating, each of the remaining bubbles will split into two smaller ones, one of the two carrying the bomb. After more time passes, the bubbles will pop and any un-dentonated bombs will drop to the floor in regular Danger Wrap fashion, but will just disappear instead of dentonating when it idles for too long.

Large Miracle Bomb: Moderate damage (30)
Small Miracle Bomb: Low/Moderate damage (20)
Small Miracle Bomb w/o bomb: Low damage (10)

Ammo Consumption: 4 Uses.
