In Reply to: Weapon Pack mod (long) posted by ExaltedOne on October 02, 1998 at 20:34:22:

: Here's the deal, boys and girls.... I need some advice, suggestions, et. For those of you who do not know or who have not made it over to the Dark Void, the editing group for which I belong, I am making a weapon pack mod for MotS. The mod has evovled into more than just weapons, and now I am adding items, force powers, etc. What I need is some ideas, suggestions, etc.

: This is what I have completed(or at least 85% completed), with some ideas I'd like some input on:
: 1) a modified grappling hook that basically operates smoother than some of the others I have seen. Nothing real major here, possibly have it to where a person can destroy the hook.
: 2) explosive force punches. These use mana, just like any other force power. Possibly the greater level of jedi you are, the more powerful the punch will be.
: 3) in place of a saber is an Axe, which works fully with saber throw (I give thanks and credit to Hemlos for allowing me to use this in my pack)
: 4) an AK-47 type machine gun with primary fire being the gun and secondary fire being a det launcher. picking up power boost here adds a silencer feature to the gun.
: 5) rifle and scope are both more powerful, shots for the rifle are slower, shots for the scope are quicker (in hopes this will help in lag games), both take longer to "reload", and take more ammo. I will probably add the "silencer" feature to this gun also.
: 6) instead of the normal dets and flash bombs, I made destruction dets, and carb dets(carb gun will be replaced with something). I will probably make these items, instead of weapons, so they can be used almost like secondary fire for any gun, especially for the carb dets... basically you would be able to freeze them and automatically destroy them with a rail.
: 7) a "ysalamari" shooter. upon impact the ysalamari will deactivate any force powers that are active within a certain radius. I figure this could be a fun addition to team games. One possibility is to have secondary fire drop live ysalamari that will run around the game causing havoc, probably won't work due to amount of lag it would cause, but I just thought of that now, hehe...
: 8) a personal favorite of mine, the flame thrower. Just what it says... not just a cheesy explosion effect.
: 9) lightning cannon. fires explosive lightning bolts. picking up the power boost will make this fire 3 bolts, but will not speed it up. Secondary fire is similiar to the secondary for the conc, but will have more of a force push effect.
: 10) I want to replace the manual mines with "land mines" or invisible mines.. so they are not visible, and increase the time before they blow automatically.
:
: Other things, mostly ideas, some in production:
: 1) force fly.. will eat mana for as long as you are in flight. When the mana runs out, you fall like a brick, so better have that grappling hook ready...
: 2) force teleport... This one is a pain is the butt so far, but I am determined to get it done.
: 3) force pull (LOS).. line of sight pull.. pull weapons from every one you see..
: 4) force kill... replacing the farsight, this would take full mana, and only be available to level 8 jedi, and would only be usable once every # seconds, even with a force boost.
: 5) force explosion.. this would replace push, and allow a jedi to explode.. damaging and pushing every one around him. this might be some thing that would take as much mana as you have.. if only a little left, then a little boom. A full level 8 jedi, with power boost would create a super nova.. hehe..
: 6) like the force explosion, another posibility would be a force blinding that effects all around..
: 7) replacement for force projection, maybe something like in Halowan 3, where you are notified when the hologram gets attacked...
: 8) Some type of item to deactivate another persons grappling hook.

:
: Currently Saufer, is doing 3dos for my items and weapons, but due to computer problems he is out for a while anyone who might want to help in this area, please let me know.. I would be eternally gratefull.

: Well this is just the tip of the iceberg. Hopefully as noted on the Dark Void projects page, we will release a beta pack with LandoFett's Cliffs of Insanity level. (Here comes a blatent plug for this level)... If you liked Lando's Lair of Lando Fett, you will be blown away by this level.. As before, Lando has put his blood, sweat, and tears (maybe not tears), into this level... One word - FANTASTIC!...

: Thank you in advance for any ideas, suggestions, comments(good and bad). I really appreciate any thoughts. Just one thing.. please no "I don't thing that's possible, etc."..hehe.. I hear enough of that already..

: Again thanks...


Why don't you publish yours? Or hang it somewhere outside so everyone can read it?
Just kidding. Nice ideas--hope we'll see them come to life.
