[QUOTE=The Ultimate;27384575]how the FUCK does he hold that[/QUOTE]
with one hand, which will need new animations.
No. With two hands, like he would the hammers or the axes. Imagine if he swung it down or from the side with both hands for a killing blow... that'd do some major damage!

wait, that thing isn't big enough to fit in his both hands! I suggest that you make it bigger.

Thats not how you hold a flail, the head could swing round and stab your fingers.
Okay how does that make any sense?
"The head could swing around and stab your fingers! You should hold it with no hands to protect your flanges!"
Good luck getting it to look right with the jigglebones and whatnot and not look like a complete mess flying into the player's screen and clipping like hell.
How is my post dumb? His post is dumb. He said stab your fingers, as if holding it with one hand you avoid this situation.
Flails can be one handed or two handed, no one ever said flails had to be one handed. You didn't live in the dark ages, so fuck you. Also, if you're some kind of expert name a class you think could use this weapon besides Demoman. At least I came up with something, and it looks good, and when I'm done with it it's going to work great.

Can't we all just get along :byodood:

Yes and no. I have used roller skates before, but after almost breaking my nose after stopping to fast with the front break, we decided to go our separate ways.

It's the Blazing Star, my idea for the Pyro's Medieval Pack weapon. :)[/QUOTE]
That is ridiculously cool, but it doesn't really fit pyro at all.
Admittedly, I will probably get shit for this, but I think it should be a Demo weapon.
Don't use the Pink Panther picture as an inspiration; the first picture is more accurate. Wheels go under the sole. :)

Damn, bears... One of them almost killed me in childhood... Also about the Eyelander joke: Eyelander is a living wep, as DEvil Arms. Also, can one post cause so much rage?

I'd actually like this for Medic. Or Solly.

Then it'd have to be Sticky-on-a-Stick, and it's just a long ranged Ullapool Caber
[QUOTE=maxumym;27385712]I'd actually like this for Medic. Or Solly.[/QUOTE]
Yes, because the Medic and Soldier spend their free time roller blading. :downs:
[QUOTE=Skunkrocker;27385014]Flails can be one handed or two handed, <pointless rage here>.[/QUOTE]
It could be two handed but one would imagine a two handed one would have a far bigger handle to hold it on the chain wouldnt be safe at all and impractical for swinging. Trapping your fingers and what not. Maybe make the handle bigger and the chain smaller ?
[QUOTE=maxumym;27385769]Already done|:[url]http://www.gamebanana.com/skins/73637[/url][/QUOTE]
Why isn't that an Ullapool Caber replacement.
Working with some textures at the moment.

For the love of god, don't make it two handed.
Even if you make it for Demo, making it twohanded would be a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE idea.
If you make it for Demo, the way he holds his bottle would be WAY more fitting than the way he holds the axes and swords.
The way Soldier holds and swings his Shovel would also be rather fitting for a Flail I imagine.

So we don't get 1000 flails. I like the idea of a lance for demoman, would work well with the targe.
I think that the bigger issue with a flail would be bungling an overhead swing and hitting your head....
[editline]13th January 2011[/editline]
But then, I know nothing about flails.

Yeah but the issue as I see it, is what additional animations would be needed to make it not look completely retarded when Demoman uses it?
He holds all his weapon straight up into the air, both the bottle and the eyelander.
Hitting your enemies vertically with a lance would just be silly, the very least thing he would need to have this weapon make sense would be an animation to have him hold the lance horizontally when charging. If he held it horizontally when charging, that would logically make him a lot more lethal during the charge, and it being useless when not used in a charge would then be justified downside.

TL;DR For lance using Demo MUST have a horizontal weapon hold animation, cuz stabs performed horizontally.

Yes, basically. However without your horrible abbreviation of the word "because".
All Demoman's melee animations are vertical, and the lance would only make sense used horizontally.
Well, lots of weapons would probably require new animations.
[QUOTE=TheGrayFox;27387213]Well, lots of weapons would probably require new animations.[/QUOTE]
However those weapons aren't completely reliant on their animations to make sense.
The Demoman hitting people with a lance vertically would be a bit like Pyro hitting enemies with the stick part of the "back scratcher" rake.

Admitted. But what I was trying to say was that new animations are to be expected with a bunch of new weapons.
