CSCAT: Taking Submissions and Looking for Coders!

[fortegigasgospel]

I have a new suggestion not related to a weapon came up with myself.

Hellflame Cutter = Replaces Rolling Cutter.

(click to show/hide)

Throws the Cutter and it spins around the user going outward to a range of 2 players away from the user then continues spinning as it heads back to the player. (Basicly works like powerstone but its one shoot that rips and returns back to the player instead of flying off)

Hud= Edit of Rolling Cutter (CMM's CSCC Hud)
Color= Black and Grey.

Yes, its  Cut Man Mike's Rolling cutter that doesn't work exactly like rolling cutter.

HD, before anything goes on with this, I would learn about how to use TEXTURES lump in SLumpED or SLADE to make the HUDs, especially if they are just busters.

[Myroc]

Okay, I am not quite in the mood to trawl this topic for the large number of weapon ideas abound, so apologies in advance if people have already suggested similar things. Replace whatever weapons you feel suitable.

Blood Cannon
Function: Fires a relatively fast projectile of red liquid that, when hitting a target, deals damage to him/her equal to half his current health. This means that while this weapon can reduce the health of your opponent rather quickly, it can never kill on its own. Below average rate of fire.
Colors: Brown and red.
HUD General Appearance: Buster

Armory Scrambler
Function: Explosive weapon à la Ballade Cracker that does relatively little damage. However, in addition to the damage it deals, it will also destroy a fixed amount of ammo of the target's active weapon. A great help in neutralizing weapons with low maximum ammo counts, but it's rather ineffective against weapons with large ammo capacities.
Colors: Blue and yellow.
HUD General Appearance: Buster

[HD_]

APPROVING the past four weapons because I can.

[Beed28]

Missile Barrage
Function: Fires five homing missiles at the enemy, doing 4 damage each. You can find this weapon in CSCC.
Colour: Red, same as Screw Crusher.
HUD: The general buster.

Hey this sounds familiar. APPROVED

Here's some more weapons.

(click to show/hide)

Flash Jump
Replaces: Sakugarne or Charge Kick
HUD: Top Spin HUD or Toad Man’s HUD
Color Scheme: Cyan and White

This weapon can only be used in the air. Flash Jump will give a big boost in altitude and rush forward. If the user runs into a target, the target will take 15 damage.

Light Barrier
Replaces: Skull Barrier or Leaf Shield
HUD: Standard shield HUD
Color Scheme: Cream/Yellow and White

When Light Barrier is used, the user is slowed to almost a stop. When the user is completely invincible, covered by the barrier, and blinded at the same time, and the user can still move slowly. The shield will break off by itself after a while, and when it does, Flame Blast shard like shots will fly everywhere (think Unepix’s Elemental Specialist’s alt), causin' minor damage (around 4-5 per shard). The shots won’t make pillars.

Magma Pillar
Replaces: Flame Blast
HUD: Standard buster HUD
Color Scheme: Red and Orange

Think of Wood Tower from Uki’s weapon, a ground huggin’ projectile that does not deal damage. After a while or runnin' into a wall, it will “pop” up and stay around for a long time (Think Gamma's fire attack). Ya can only have one Magma Pillar out at a time.

Earth Shaker
Replaces: Super Arm
HUD: Shield/AoE HUD
Color Scheme: Dark Brown and Light Brown

This weapon can only be used in the air. The player will plunge onto the ground, dealin’ 30-40 damage. The closer a victim is to the source of the quake, the more damage they take. If a victim is directly underneath the user, they will be OHK’d, however there will be no quake.

Gravity Aura
Replaces: Gravity Hold
HUD: Standard AoE HUD
Color Scheme: Purple and White

Once used, it will cause a Gravity Hold effect once. One orb will be staying on where the weapon was used. Anyone who is within the orb’s range cannot jump. They may jump after by either exitin’ the area or wait until the orb disappears.

Hunter Mine
Replaces: Hard Knuckle, Hyper Bomb, Search Snake, or Water Wave
HUD: Standard Buster HUD
Color Scheme: Cyan and Yellow

When fired, there will be a mine set onto the floor movin’ in a straight line. If it hits a wall, it will detonate, but it won’t cause damage. If it hits a target, it will do 80 explode damage. Hunter Mine was a slow RoF and has a weak homin’ system. It might try to lock onto someone, but the mine will never leave the ground.

Agh! Must...APPROVE...

This isn't one of the ideas in store that I mentioned earlier, but it did come to mind:

Name: Brigade Barrier
Weapon Replaced: Junk Shield
Colors: Yellow and Black

Description:

Brigade Barrier creates three small robot units around you that are static, but follow you everywhere until you call them off. When you get hit while this is activated, damage is halved and one of the robot units will fire a shot so fast that it can't be seen. Think of it as the same as having a Reflection Rune and an Armor in Skulltag at the same time. When called off, the robot units simply dissapear. Just remember that both activating this weapon and taking hits will deplete the ammo bar. You should be especially careful with ripping weapons, because even if your enemy will take damage too, the damage done to you isn't negated as well as other non-ripping weapons for obvious reasons. Getting up close to an enemy with this won't do damage, but it sure might discourage attacking.

As for how much ammo it has and how much is consumed when the barrier is activated or when you take a hit, that can be adjusted to balance things out. I have no idea how much it should have.

Sounds interesting to me. APPROVED

[Knux]

Actually, I just thought even with little ammo, it could be cheap. Therefore, how about making it so that the player can't move while using it? It would make more justice to the name too.

[HD_]

Yeah I agree. You (or whoever is making it) should probably code that.

Speaking of which, if you want to be a coder for the mod so that people who are incompetent coders don't have to code, please let me know by whatever means necessary.

As far as I can see, there's 32 weapons that are accepted at the moment.
Since these weapons will be replacin' all the core weapons, the core weapon amount "limit" is 62 (includes all 4 busters and Time Stopper). So that's just somethin' to think about. So ya may want to stop at 57 or 58 if ya want, but definitely, yar limited to 62. Since this project's purpose is to replace'em all.

I'm just gonna create a weapon randomizer, hence why the replacements part was taken out of the template.

[SaviorSword]

At the same time, yar tryin' to get enough weapons so that none of the core weapons would appear?
