Title: New Weapon: Energy Blade?
Post by: Harpy on November 01, 2014, 10:50:50 PM
Would be interesting to have some from of light saber/ energy blade, that like a Stealth Boy, once active it will drain energy cells. Potentially a good Idea or not? It would be nice to see some more melee weapons, maybe with customizable colours too?

Wrong section noob.

Also you have to suggest something,  like weapon, pictures, stats, not just say "I want a light saber ingame, devs make one please "

While it's not a constructive suggestion, you could be nicer about it.

2/ you are not helping build a friendly community with your tone

aint no fkn StarWars dart'arpy
it is true that we need some plasma/fire based melee weapon
it is easy to make and implement weapon but we are mostly stuck with the existing animations unless you are willing to make flashy sword one

I apologize that it was merely just a suggestion and I have no useful input towards what I said, and yes I do not post regularly on the forums and have place my topic in the wrong section. I just wanted to get the idea down, and from that hoping it could be developed further. Sadly thus because I am a noob and wouldn't even know where to begin designing anything for this.

Sorry again, P.S. Stalker you were always soo nice to me in-game :(
Also, I have no experience in any field when it comes to programming, development. Is there means where a noob such as myself, would be able to contribute to this project? If so, I would love to be able to! If someone knows a means where I can get the ball rolling for this idea, I would happily try my best at sorting it. ^_^

Suggesting something reasonable will help for sure. But you need to think about it taking into consideration wanted effect / side effects / ways of exploiting it / complexity of implementation / priority for current situation.

You can also help by bug reports or filling out the wiki (there are corresponding threads for it).

High priority task now is mapping, it doesn't take much pre-skills, just wish to learn. You can sign in in this topic: http://fonline-aop.net/forum/index.php?topic=609.0 but better contact John Porno at the forum or IRC.

Also, in general there's recruitment thread there: http://fonline-aop.net/forum/index.php?topic=87.0 .

Only sort of energy blade I can think in the Fallout word is this:

Srsly though Cirn0, let us merge 2 sneak-melee characters into one with a mind control. Your server will get flooded by a certain country.

It's not a bad idea, I once designed A similar thing for my old fallout tactics mod. It's tech was based on force field emitter tech redesigned by SF scientists to emit a blade shaped field.

Don't apologise for there rudeness harpy.

Fallout used to have a unofficial "No-Swords" rule in the Black Isle times. And I agree fully with it - less swords, more axes, hammers, clubs, spears, etc. Even the Wakizashi is more of a long stabbing knife than sword.

So I really think that Laser Hacksaw >>> Energy Blade.

Post by: Hang-Lip on November 07, 2014, 08:25:45 PM
A wakizashi was used for armor penetration wasn't it? And only about a foot long in length.

How about a 2x4 with a nail in it, now that is fallout, or a gun that jams 50% of time.

Lets not get anal, since we can craft Hi-Tech BG sniper rifles. :P

I'm not anal, I'm just saying that Swords go against the Fallout mood and style, like a a nuclear-reactor would in a steampunk setting.

When I say anal, I just mean nit-picking no offense meant. For instance im an anal mapper, even when it looks done, ill sit back and look at it as a whole picture, to see if it feels right.

But I have to agree with the sword thing going against the Fallout feel.

It would be pretty cool if posion could be applied to a melee weapon. Duration effect on weapon.

i really cant see sword or if that matters anything capable of hurting and killing out of place as weapon in falloutish world , anything at all

How about a gunsword? Ala FF9?

Or even better a DSRSupersledge, with a supersledge built into the butt of the gun.

Or a grenadechete? where the handle of your machete is a grenade, and when it explodes, little machetes fly out of it.

Gunsword? One of those?

MGR:R Sam's blade

I hope all the others were suggested for the sake of fun, and not for the actual try to turn this game into Dead Rising ;D

Axe Shotgun!
(http://cdn.nerdapproved.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/t3_Upload1.jpg?874fb4)

But then again a punchgun that could fire MFC for plasma damage would be cool (just don't make it 1-shot like the punchgun).

LOL! Seems about fair, but only if the garens do their ult when her ult finishes >.<

Neither of my suggestions were serious, but damn if that axe shotgun doesn't look handy :D

Just have a go on Darkwatch then. Axe-shotgun is the least fun in there.
