Well... maybe you could do that after you're done with the game basics ;D

Good luck! ^^"
Well, each weapon level is essentially a weapon in its own right: it has its own seperate code entry and shot ID, even though it's the same basic weapon. Out of 30 unique weapons, each level means, well, coding an extra 30 weapons. Past experience with The Original Sin shows that coding a weapon doesn't happen overnight, so I'm reluctant to add more. Not to mention that since weapon levels work with class "rank", an extra level would also mean 4 additional "classes"...

But again, this hack is supposed to be a challenge. I'm copying the idea into my notes. I'm thininking of creating some unlockables (like what beating Hell does for the title screen, only something more useful...) so I can start going nuts with those once I've gotten the main game done. Perhaps I can work on an "easy" mode where you have an extra class level / weapon level, eventually.

(It's 8 pm and I just woke up. Being on vacation rocks. I don't even know which day we are anyway. Ha!)

(By the way, I do keep track of who suggests what - credit goes where credit is due. So far, I have this.

Code:
SP Gardebiter: Gender
Metalogz: Fast attack
Roonil Wazlib: Run key, Class Upgrades

Correct me if anything's wrong.)

Actually the run key was your own idea from original sin, Rune. I just mentioned it here. :o

Thanks for it though ^_^
Well, it was, yes. But I totally forgot about it and had no plans for it in this hack. So the credit for the idea goes to you.

And on the 7th day, God played Starcraft... :)

Oh yeah, you know on the title screen, when you choose New Game or Load Game right? Quote usually stands beside the New and Continue, depending on which you're beside. Is it possible to make it such that it's the character you've chosen as the one to be beside the Load/New instead? Because even equipping the mimiga mask will not put Mimiga Mask Quote as the one beside the New/Load button.

Well, I intend to start inserting the title screen code today, so we'll see how that goes. Chances are I won't be here much during the day though. Nor the night. In fact I may be very, very mashed up by the time the night is through. But expect an update friday - my deadline's drawing close after all! :p

Oh well, you can implement a climbing system as well, like, to scale cliffs and stuff.

And a if you fall from a high place, you hurt yourself when you land.

Olol nice idea.

OMG YES I WANTED TO ASK YOU RUNE.

Issit possible to include a <<ninja rope>> <--(not sure what this is really called roflmao. Just took the name from "Worms") in your mod?

That'll be so cool xD

Wow, Runelancer, your ambitious projects never cease to amaze me. I personally thought that 'Original Sin' would be the last thing I would see from you. I can't wait to see a demo of this new mod your working on.

What? Like a grappling hook? Yeah, That would be cool :D . But, I can't see this being anymore than just a gimmick, unless you could make a use for it (for example, making some areas only accessible via grappling hook).

I'm guessing S.P. means letters, not latters because the word latters makes no sense.
Are you sure? I think what S. P. meant to say was ladders.

Yeah. Maybe you could make it such that you'll need it more as an item rather than a weapon. Like... To reach for something between spikes...

Then you'll have to aim with a corsshair to latch onto the item to get it... etc... :o

Or maybe you could make it a weapon that drags enemies towards you so you can do your melee stunts xD
