z0rcery - Garry's Mod - Facepunch Forum

I completely forgot that i had made this gamemode. It's essentially arena mode from TF2, but set in a baldurs gate-style era. There are 5 classes. [list][*]"The Archer - A marksman who is proficient in the use of long range weaponry. A competent Archer can eliminate their enemies from great distances without putting themselves at risk. Archers are unable to defend themselves at close range and must be careful when attacking multiple opponents." [*]"The Cleric - A priest who uses magic to aid and protect their allies in battle. A Cleric must rely on healing spells to compensate for their lacking armor. Clerics are experienced in the use of defensive and healing spells. They are able to learn every type of defensive spell as well as first level Mage spells." [*]"The Mage - A master of magic who shapes magical energies and casts them as spells. Although Mages are weak, they are capable of causing much suffering with their powerful spells. A Mage is able to learn every type of offensive spell as well as first level Cleric spells." [*]"The Rogue - A master of cunning and agility who uses the surrounding environment to their advantage. A Rogue must rely on their fast reflexes and stealth ability to catch enemies off guard. Their movement speed greatly compensates for their lacking armor and close range weapon." [*]"The Berzerker - A champion brawler trained in the use of close combat weapons. Berzerkers rely on their brute strength and resistance to damage in order to defeat their enemies. A Berzerker is extremely powrful at close range and vulnerable out in the open."[/list] Each class can be customized since you are allowed to pick 3 abilities out of a long list. So one berzerker might be capable of doing a "targe charge" like the demoman from TF2, and another might specialize in powerful kill combos. The base code for the game itself is essentially finished, but i haven't written that many abilities/spells for each class. So i beseech you, lua community, please finish this gamemode! Here's some media... Showing off the "brutal kill" feature. If you deal a certain amount of damage to a near-dead enemy you will completely destroy them and spray guts everywhere. Also note the D&D-style damage/kill notifiers. It would alsonotify you of which spells mages/clerics cast.

[IMG]http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/CptNuke/rd_deadvilla0001-1.jpg[/IMG] Here's the SVN. [url]http://code.google.com/p/z0rcery/[/url] There are some known bugs. The gui elements aren't scaled to the screen so smaller resolutions get fucked over. Easy fix for that i'm sure. The spell icons are missing decent textures too. I hope someone here finishes what could be a very promising gamemode.

Oh lordian, that gore is awesome

I was just fucking around ingame and i noticed that i had a semi-functional blocking system implemented for the melee weapons. The only bug is that you can attack while blocking, but that would also be a piss easy fix.

Sounds like a nice idea. One thing I am not too keen on, however, is the name of the gamemode.

I'm gonna host this in a minute. [editline]April 7th, 2011[/editline] -snip- [editline]April 7th, 2011[/editline] Well, nobody joined. :sigh:

It's not exactly the most fun to play currently. The mage/cleric classes don't have any powerful spells and there aren't many abilities for any combat classes.
