New mod: Adaption (RPG Mod for Q2)

[decino]

New: Quake2 RPG Mod: Adaption
Mod release spam ftw.

WALL OF TEXT BELOW!

Introduction:
Getting better with coding so I took the challenge to create an RPG mod for Quake2 and it seems to work pretty well.
Like all RPGs you need to level up your character to grow stronger and access special features. In this mod you gain levels by gaining resistance to certain damages. When you crater too many times, you gain resistance against falling damage, or when you swim too long in lava you gain resistance against lava damage. Your weapons will also deal more damage when you deal enough damage to other players. If you take alot of damage, you'll gain levels in defense and reduce the damage taken, and so on.

When a player dies there's a big chance it will drop a herb. Herbs are used to make potions to level up certain skills like poison, which will poison your enemy and deal x damage per second untill he picks up health.

Your characters get saved so don't worry if you want to take a break and come back later.

Here's a list of the skills that are currently done:

[[BTF]Defiant!]

interesting.  If there is an opportunity to try it, let us know.

[The Happy Friar]

source would be nice so we could linux-fi it. 

[decino]

Server is up!
connect 87.211.148.182:27910

Need testers to see if you level up too fast or see if it crashes etc. Feedback is appreciated.
I've also added new skills to level up. Some skills can't be used yet, because they can not be trained.

The skills are:
Vampire,
Jetpack,
Bloody wrist,
Teleportation.

But stay tuned, I'll work on those skills soon.
Happy fraggin'!

I enjoy it, feedback:

As discussed on server, the brewing is a pain in the ass atm. I just got to do poison potions too, and, well, fuck that. reopening brew every time scrolling to poison and then closing :< muy failo!

I also thought the herbs would be an issue because u were only droppin poison herbs and I couldnt get any healthy herbs to finish herblore to 5 so.. but it worked out in the end

Thanks, I've made a few changes. Monsters will spawn when there are no players in the server to keep yourself busy while waiting for other players. I removed the 'close the menu after brewing'. Brewing may be confusing now. The values won't update when you brew now...gotta fix that soon.

Server is running, had a fun match yesterday, need moar!

[decino]

The mod is almost done (at least, the first version). Need a bit more testing and feedback. Added alot of shit and fixed stuff.
If you want to play, the server IP is located in the previous posts.

Fight!
