New mod: INQUISITOR: hack n' slash semi rpg fun!

[gr33noni]

After playing some warcraft 3 rpg mods, it got to me: why not make a diablo/gauntlet mod for dow?

Inquisitor is a co-op hack and slash rpg style mod where up to 4 players play an inquisitor of sorts. together they go down a path of baddies and mobs hackin' and shooting and psyking them out with cool powers.
a player chooses a base group for their character: witch hunter, alien hunter, and daemon-hunter. each gives a bonus to combat against what foe theyre fighting:

witch-hunters- slight bonus against chaos, large bonus against other imperial teams (sm/ig), no bonus against alien

daemon-hunter- slight bonus against imperium, large bonus against chaos, no bonus against alien (orks, eldar)

alien hunter: large bonus against, well, alien! slight bonus against imperium, no bonus against chaos

after that, they select stats and powers, and start the game!

as they go through levels, killing everything and the end boss (like a squiggoth, daemon prince, hive tyrant etc, they will level up. they also get imperial credits, used to get new weapons and equipment to change in and out :Pike: . also are new psyker powers, different depending on what ordo you are with.

in addition, you can also hire henchmen who help fighting and give additional power along the way.

whadya think?

Well. go for it. Happy modding.

Heh. Good luck in figuring how to code this.

In general, making a game do something it was not meant to do is much more difficult than taking the same models and textures, finding a game that was meant to do what you want, and modifying that game. You'd be better off making a total conversion of Diablo than DoW.

[Klaus88]

Yeah this will be a pain in the ass to mod.

Good luck anyhow.

ok,, it would pawn....BUT (I just had to do it :p ) You are talking about some things wich are prolly not even possible with the current engine.

[Romanov77]

Wait, he never said that he was going to mod that, so no need to blame him....

[danteyeh]

Well, it is a good idea.
I like it.

But I think in DoW, our rolls have no upgrade or can not have any items. They are the most important things in RPG (I think).

Well. If he's not going to mod this, then this thread breaching something else other then the game engine. I'll give you a guess as to what. (hint, its in the sticky)

It is possible to have a single character orientated mod, however, with specific upgrades and such, but it will be rather limited.

[Finaldeath]

Idea thread! Warning alert, someone didn't read any of the stickies.

I still don't know why people do this.

If this is, ahahaha, in error, then PM me to get this unlocked.
