[Plugin] Weapons

[MeganPerk]

What is a carpenter without his tools? What is a musician without his instruments? What is a dragoon without his spear? Its a quack using a shovel is what it is.

Herocraft is awesome in every way, but i cant help but giggle at how players are using hoes and shovels as weapons. This is why I would suggest this plugin.

Now this thing clearly isnt finished or updated and ready for multiplayer yet, but those weapons look darn sexy. And then if we added special attacks to each type of weapon at the cost of mana, like say a knockback with the warhammer or a whirlwind with the battleaxe, it helps players within the same class and spec have their own variety and flare. It also restores dignity to players so they don't have to use shovels anymore.

One of the greatest things about this is the cannon. I dunno about you, but i'd sure love to have a cannon mounted on the top of my city's gates that i can hop inside and blow people away. It would provide perks to certain level crafters as well making only a certain level able to place the canons. I've tried the canons in single player, and let me tell you... its epic.

Having more weapons would enable us more inspiration for more classes, more opportunities for specs/skills, and more variety and options for the veterans who want to change things up every once in a while.

The creator came out with an idea for magic staves, and some people have made some pretty cool suggestions on it as well. I think this would be awesome to implement to the server when it's available, or to modify in our own hands.

I'm offended . On another note I would love to see something like this done with Herocraft, however I don't see it happening in the near or distant future

Seriously? I dont get how people think that HC will benefit by becoming one of these ''Mod'' Servers? -.-

If HC gets this mod then others will also have to get it in order to play. I am sure that a majority of the server does NOT want to download constant changing mods just to play. Why do we need tonnes of weapons anyway? We are all fine with what we have now, it is the attack damage and use that the tool does which matters, not how it looks.

Getting this mod would just allow specific items for specific specs, thats it. I doubt the damage would be changed from the current style, and with that said, the only purpose for this would be for looks.

In addition, knock back and whirlwind could be done currently, I am sure. And what do you mean dignity gain when they dont have to use shovels? This is a game, not real life. Does it matter?

The only reason I went dragoon was because I thought it was hilarious to imagine a guy flying through the air smacking people with a shovel.

That's how I play soldier in tf2 too

Like it or not - Herocraft does plan to have a client portion that will allow for unique items/etc. This won't be for several months, however.

Honestly, this plugin would add a lot of spice to the PvP aspect of HC. It would separate Tools from Weapons, good idea. The cannons would allow for a possible town siege events, please Kainzo and Founders, think about adding this.

BTW this is a client thing so it would be an annoyance to update

My point exactly! :S

I'd say that HC should only have to get players to download a mod when the server resets. That way the whole map can start fresh and then players will get the choice of whether to continue playing on the server, to get a mod and all, or to not. If you introduce the use of these mods during the current map, it could lead to a massive halt in building work and other things. Many players might quit due to the fact some just don't know how to install mods or use them. Or they don't trust them.

And once the HC Client comes out it will always be compatible with the server so you wont have to worry about installing any mods.
