Title: [Hak] New class ideas
Post by: fromhell on October 08, 2008, 03:09:25 PM
no i'm not going to make new classes, but if I could (in an expansion mod) I would add one or two of the following:

Ninja - sort of like the assassin, but much more emphasis on melee and some ninjitsu power.

Mage - same as weapons from hexen, different appearance though

Fighter - ditto

cleric - nostalgia comeback squad?

elven archer - okay now we're getting ridiculous

jiang-shi - ok now were' getting very ridiculous. female also

scavenger - doom-style weaponry, fists, pistol, shotgun, rocket launcher.  Think Ash, sans chainsaw, because that's a frigging trademark of his.

Doesn't adding in new classes require engine modifications?  But then, I guess maybe we need a modified engine anyways because of that checksum thing you mentioned?

Only to get it listed in the menus and also the status pull-up bit in the hud (for name, ability strings and picture)

Yep. I don't understand why Hammer of Thyrion really needs pak0.pak checksum protection on startup...
