So I've had quite a few boss suggestions....
And, let's see, Once upon a time I was just relaxing over the weekend and suddenly, out of nowhere, I thought:
"Why don't you just make the bloody boss yourself???"
I decided to start with something simple. The first thing that kinda came to mind was my Youmu suggestion....
Spoiler
...and after a some researching on the FF2 Github.. [This is where I started at]https://github.com/50DKP/FF2-Official/w ... figuration
...and a bunch of typing (duh), a CFG file for my very own boss was born, carefully constructed from my humble forge known as notepad.
Code: Select all
"character"
{
"name" "Youmu Konpaku"
"class" "2" //Sniper Class.
"model" "models\player\youmu.mdl" //THIS IS JUST A PLACEHOLDER, I don't really have a model.
"health_formula" "(((760+n)*n)^1.04)" //I'm assuming this is the formula for medium? =P
"sound_block_vo" "1" //Blocks the Sniper voice lines
"ragedamage" "1900" //1900 Damage to charge rage
//Boss Description(s)
"description_en" "Youmu Konpaku \n''The things that cannot be cut by my Roukan-Blade, forged by youkai... are next to none!'' " //Will expand the description to include hint messages later....
"weapon1"
{
"name" "tf_weapon_sword //Weapon Class.
"index" "404" //Weapon Index, 404 is Persian Persuader.
"attributes" "2" //I don't get this part. I'm guessing it's the part where you give the wep a ton of damage,a X3 Cap Rate, ETC?
//But I don't get what you type here to give them. Someone help me on this one?
}
//Boss Ability(s)
"ability1"
{
"name" "rage_uber" //The thing that gives her Ubercharge.
"arg0" "0"
"arg1" "10" //How long she is Uber'd, 10 seconds.
"plugin_name" "default_abilities"
}
"ability2"
{
"name" "rage_preventtaunt" //The thing that immediately cancels her taunt on rage
"plugin_name" "default_abilities"
}
"ability3"
{
"name" "charge_bravejump" //The superjump thingy.
"arg0" "1"
"arg1" "1.5"
"arg2" "3.0"
"arg3" "1.1"
"plugin_name" "default_abilities"
}
"ability4"
{
"name" "rage_cloneattack" //The thing that spawns her ghostly clone on rage.
"arg1" "1"
"arg2" "1"
"arg3" "models\player\youmughost.mdl" //PLACE HOLDER
"arg4" "2"
"arg5" "0.001" //I want it so that it only spawns 1 clone no matter how many enemies are left. The formula is p*0.001. p=how many enemies alive.
//If you do the math it gives a number less than 1, but I assume it rounds up to 1 every time?
"arg6" "tf_weapon_sword"
"arg7" "404"
"arg8" "2" //Weapon attributes. For the clone, it's supposted to be the exact same as her orignal but capping disabled. Again, if anyone knows how to handle this, please tell me.
"arg11" "1000" //I can't seem to find how to give the clone a ten second Uber just like her original, so I just gave her a ton of HP instead.
"plugin_name" "ff2_1st_set_abilities"
//Sound(s)
"sound_bgm" //Theme Only
{
"path1" "freak_fortress_2\youmu\youmutheme.mp3" //Theme Song!
"time1" "244" //The theme is 248 seconds long, but it should loop again at 244 seconds right?
}
//EVERYTHING BELOW THIS IS JUST PLACEHOLDER. I need a model, vtf, ETC, before I even think about doing stuff here
"sound_precache"
{
"1" "freak_fortress_2\youmu\youmutheme.mp3"
}
"mod_download"
{
"1" "models\player\youmu"
}
"download"
{
"1" "sound\freak_fortress_2\youmu\Confusion-cutting Edge - Youmu.mp3"
}
}
However... after typing all this I realize a ton of problems that must be faced before I can even do anything farther...
-First. I don't understand what you type to give weapon attributes (Increased damage, 4x Capture Rate, etc.)
I am guessing, according to this...
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/List_ ... attributes
I must put in (2,100) for a +100% damage bonus, and (68,4) for a 4x Cap rate....? Wat?
-Second. I still need a model, a VTF, and all that...
*Cue sarcastic good luck to myself reply for making/finding that*
-Third. I must make a dedicated server for myself with all the plugins and everything to test it...
I'll find the time later, but fingers crossed that my computer is up to the task...
-Forth. I don't know what other potentially dangerous crap I am getting into.....
-Fifth. Inb4 the "WTF ARE YOU DOING/THINKING!?!??!?" replies.
I've got such a loooong way to go to this becoming reality...
What will become of this me and this... incident?
