I AM HEAVY WEAPONS DWARF (a TF2 mod in development)
« on: July 08, 2009, 08:30:56 am »

Good evening, gentlemen. As one can ascertain from the title I am going to attempt to make a Team Fortress 2 modification. As this will be my very first attempt at modding DF ever I do not expect to get far. However, advice would be appreciated, and I will try to finish this for your enjoyment. Don't get your hopes up, though.

First order of business is: Which class should the dwarf replacements be? I was thinking Engineer, because they fit so well into the dwarven mindset.

 Then the Elven snipers might be a problem.
 Of course, we could just move in the Human Soldiers to take care of that.

 But yes, not much one can do with what we can do now. What with ranged weapons having a set attack speed/pattern and all. Perhaps you could make a pyro race with Firebreath.

 Which would not be a bad idea. Then Bronze Colossi could be put into a civilization and be only allowed ranged weapons to be heavy Weapons Guy.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Sound like they'd be awesome to see one way or the other. Bring 'em in!
Now, it would be nice for your mixed team to be sieged by annother, differently colored team- but this can only happen in the next version, wherein you could have multiple castes.

Holy balls, man, that's awesome. And very handy. BRAINGNAWER IS CREDIT TO TEAM

So yeah, I'd like 'em.

Really? Sweet.

Of course, that also means I have to wait until said next version. DAMN. I'll still work on the basics for this mod until then, though.

How are you going to do medics?

What about the sandvich?

I think it would be possible to make a race for the demoman that has explosive weapons. It would be impossible to actually load it, but if it isn't your race, I think they spawn with their weapons loaded.

edit: I accidently put heavy weapons guy for demoman

If you make crossbow bolts that catch on fire at body temperature, maybe that might explode on stuckins?
