Okay, we now have an even number of people. If you have not joined and want to, please try to find another person to join with. No, I will not make you leave if you want to join, but it'd be easier with an even number.

I'm going to design a new weapon, the Belm Rifle is having too many exceptions. However, I do have all of it's tags packaged.... what should I do?

What are the exceptions?

Basically, if it follows the gist of the rules and isn't cheap, then it's fine. If it's cheap, then it's a no. Cheap would be if the Belm Rifle's laser completely stopped someone from moving due to stun and kept killing them like that, only taking one hit to stop the person. I don't remember what the effect of the Belm Rifle is, but if you want you can show me it in a server and we can test it.

i would like to joinj, but i will wait until someone else would also like to join so it can be even

also, why wouldnt everyone just make the guns the best they can possibley be? like, my prediction will be that they will all be the same, or similar, they will all do max damage, have the max speed, etc. it kind of ruins the creativity part of it...

Not really. If everyone was allowed to make any gun they wanted, people would just end up making lousy one-shot kill home-in-on-everything stop-your-opponent-from-moving weapons, or nukes, or worse.

There's still plenty of creativity, as you can still modify the speed, weight/arc, origin, and nearly everything else of the projectile. You can still make anything you want, it just can't be extremely cheap. Really the only tags you need to modify when making a weapon are the weap, proj, and jpt!. And of course it isn't like you can't still d-swap stuff. Aside from all that, if someone did decide to modify an effe tag also, I wouldn't stop them unless it was a real problem.

hey that sounds so fun

i got some freaking unfair ideas...
(they are still argeeing with the rulez of corse ^^)

question: is something like the needler allowed? i mean super combining explosion... (of course no uber nooby tank shell explosion... maby a shield drain explosion)

wait...we cannot edit effe tag?

Kayar · Post by **Kayar** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 8:19 am

Yes, whatever, effe tag editing is fine. >.< Blargh. Sword just said that it'd be easier when we compile the weapons into a map if we used less tags.

@Assassin: Explosions are fine as long as they aren't huge and overpowered.

Dirk Gently · Post by **Dirk Gently** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 8:23 am

yeah, mine might be a little complicated to import, I might have to make a PPF for it.

Kayar · Post by **Kayar** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 8:26 am

I added the cont tag to the list as well.

Now, I was going to post the schedule I've worked out, however, I think first our map should be compiled. I'm thinking that we should only use one map, which can have all the weapons in it. Then, for each match we can d-swap the itmc tags for each weapon. I need volunteers for map compilers.

Assasin[SC] · Post by **Assasin[SC]** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 9:23 am

yeah that sounds good Kayar

too bad i probably wont be in... i'm going to hospital today (accident with my motorcycle)

YAY! i fixed my model. now to work on the weapon traits, lol. (btw, when is the required entry date?)
