Hey PIP! Nice to see you back! :)
That sounds like a cool idea, but I would need to see it in action to fully judge it.
Thanks for indulging my ego a bit. :)
I don't know if it can be done, but depending on who does it, it could turn out really cool, or really crappy, so kudos to whoever can make it look nice.
You could just make a fast heavy and have his shooting instead of a burst of 3 bullets a burst of like 10...
Pray to GOD for him to reveal himself to you.
Well, that really wouldn't work, because a great deal more modding would be necessary. Also, that might be a bit unbalanced for the lights. What would really be cool would be if someone could create a wall-like object and use it to create a small maze or arena for diffferent maps for the gametype.
Well it CAN be done... I could do it, if someone modded me the weapons BUT how to spawn a bot... I would need to find that out...
You can start by modding the weapons tough..
WELCOME BACK PIP!!!! And nice idea!!

Art, I can try and experiment with some weapons if you would send me the original codes that affect the four weapons. If you could put your effort into this, I'm sure it would become a success. I will help in any way possible if you decide to.

Thanks, I will begin as soon as I reinstall ThinkTanks and make an "I'm Back" thread. :)

Just dropping in to give the advanced modders a little idea. This new gametype idea was given me by Sheena's "Thunder Dome". Basically, it would use a few average strength modded weapons, and would be able to hold up to 10 people. People would be randomly chosen to be on one of two teams. One team has two people fighting against one slightly boosted tank, and every time someone is eliminated, they are replaced by someone who is waiting, or 'in line'. Basically, 2v1 with 2 weak tanks against a stronger tank.
