Alright let's talk Illusionist.

First off the break down of his three forms, for a refresher:
1) 'Holy' Form
 -- Designed to be highly melee based
 -- Uses a switch-hook and sword
 -- Switch-hook switches you and an opponents velocity, position, and move status.
 -- Undefined 3rd ability

2) Normal Form
 -- Half and half
 -- Uses Luger and Mirror Image
 -- Can perform the Void Split, as he can now.

3) Void Form
 -- Ranged based
 -- Can cast void bolts and summon void knights
 -- Can cast a portal to the Void (Details later, need to work out specifics.)

1 and 3 have their own specialty, while 2 will perform much like the current Illusionist.
All forms have 3 abilities, 2 attacks and one teleport ability

If you provide the melee animation sprites for the holy form, I can code the combos and whatnot. I can also provide some sprites for the animations if you give me a base to work off of.

edit: I got all the summons to summon and die properly. I'll make a video tomorrow to show off what it looks like in scale. Moonwalking Ixion looks really funny.

Here's the changelog so far. Might be a thing or two that I missed.

Code: [Select]

INS Mod v1.25 Changelog

- overhauled all of the score HUDs
- health and secondary bar are now larger and closer to the middle

I'm probably going to start out with the void form since that will take the most work.

What I want to happen is this:
The Illusionist throws out a special bolt, which will create an exit point for the portal, but it isn't active yet.
A portal begins to form at the Illusionist's position, and follows him until it's completion.
When the portal completes, all players (allies can opt out of this by ing) around the Illusionist are teleported into the Void, a special section created on the map, and  both portals are now active for X seconds.
Any player can touch the entrance portal after this to enter the Void willingly.
The Void consists of a small bunch of floating platforms in a sort of twilight, and there are only 3 ways out:
1) Leave via the exit portal (it'll be up to Red team to deny Blue team access to the portal if they don't want to be followed)
2) Jump out of the Void, and kill yourself
3) An illusionist can cast a Void portal again to pull himself, and only himself, out of the Void.
After X seconds both Portals close, leaving anyone in there to decide their own fate.

[RebelINS]

Everything is cool except for the  thing. It seems like an unintuitive way to deny the offer.

[Dusty]

Well how should it happen then?
I mean saying 'no' is the best way to say no.

[RebelINS]

The problem is that you have to reach across the keyboard to hit c9

[Dusty]

Well, I'm gonna try to make it so that as long as the bubble is out you won't teleport.
So you can press it ahead of time.

Okay, so I'm working on a new map, cp_clocktower. It's going to be a 4x scale map (instead of default 6x), so it will look a lot better.

It's a vertical based attack defense map. Obviously themed around the Castlevania stage. There will be some goodies, such as moving gears, one-way teleport rooms (for defense), forward spawn for offense, medusa heads, and of course the regular stuff like map lighting, medkits, spikes, and animated doodads.

I'm aiming for this to be the best looking map I've ever created (possibly best ever in the community). I'll post a quick screenshot in a bit.

4x scale map (instead of default 6x)

instantly 50% more badass

that should even be mathematically correct

[RebelINS]

here's a snippet of the spawn room. rest of the map should have similar quality.

[Phantom Brave]

they're hanging, and it's rubble

[RebelINS]

I haven't added any tile variance yet, so the bricks look pretty plain.

Usually my workflow goes like: tile sections >> middle ground bg >> back ground bg >> tile variant brushing >> detail work/shading

[RebelINS]

all wip updates for map will be in my map thread:

it's rubble

rubble can do whatever he wants

[RebelINS]

if you zoom really close into the rubble, you'll see a nene face made up of sub-pixels
