SburbFortess { Homestuck TF2 Mod }

[Poh]

Hi there!

I don't know if this is a challenge at this point or still an audition, but I'll be damned if I don't go out for Sollux!



There's a few odds and ends there, and I'll try to come up with actual lines in a few hours.

Cheers!

Edit: Here ya go!

I Liked this, a lot actually.

Makes me want to make the solly *if its made* have an optic blast animation for the new engineer raygun.


Edit: A heads up with the sburbfortress site, whenever I go to the more info page it takes me to the "Serious testing" video. At least for the Vriska info that is.
Oh and even though Mavern hasn't responded lately we should include him/her as one of the concept artists listed.

I think Rose would be much more suited to being the announcer, or at least Karkat is a lot more appropriate as the soldier.

I dunno, there's something so awesome about having Karkat shout out "HEY FUCKASSESS 5 MINUTES LEFT" or "HEY FUCKASS, GET ON THE FUCKING POINT".

Ok so Poh
I just read about the site error while away from home
So it's going to be bugging me for the rest of the day
Although I think my dreamweaver trial MAY have expired
I'll check when I get home

EDIT: fixed... that gave me a righteous scare it did, i was afraid that i wouldn't be able to edit the problem
and that would have been annoying

[MetalKirby54]

i had a killer idea...
how's about in the final release, we put the appropriate "_is a spy" for each character in their files, hm?

For example, have the basic files "Need a teleporter" "Thanks!" be with the character associated (john, dave, kanaya). But, when each character says that "____ is a spy" or calling for a medic, put those with the alternate character files.

I will explain further if i need to.

[NickyTheRat]

I get what you're saying, but that raises the same problem we've talked about before. At this stage in the project, there's no single determined list of character-class matchups. In what you've proposed, the medic call voice command would call for "John," but the medic might be Kanaya, and everything falls apart.

[jazxsora]

@kirby
That's exactly what I just said. And on topic of alternate characters, I could re record lines so that if someone had kanaya instead of John, I could say "Thanks sis" or "Thanks kan" as opposed to "Thanks doc". Also, It would make for some great comedy. Like "I'm a spy! Wait, what?" Or, "hey guys, that's not me!"
Just my thoughts.

Not necessarily. for instance: We have two (or three) sets of medic lines. One for standard class, one for John, one for Kanaya. BUT: We put each class's medic calls in John / Kanaya's respective vo folder, so when Either John or Kanaya are installed, the lines match up. Same for Spades / Vriska, except with spy lines.

well, your way of going about it was a bit different, sorry if it warranted confusion.

It's okay.

[Emeexuqu]

I might be changing service providers today, so the site domain will change, and after that i can register the name sburbfortress to the website, and then cache it to google so that everyone can find it easier
EDIT: So i'm going to see what I can do about borrowing my friends mic because I can't find mine for the life of me

Hi there!

Just a thought:
How about, instead of having alternate playable characters for each class, just having variations between teams? (For instance Blue Team Sniper would be Eridan, and Red Team Sniper would be Jade) That way, we could do "___ is a spy" and the like, and just have the line vary between teams to account for accuracy?
Also, every once in a while, everyone on the field should, as one, just yell expletives at Karkat, or tell him to shut up.

The first suggestion could maybe be a thing?

The second one is entirely unfeasible.

As far as I know, neither of those are possible. While they would be cool, the Blu versions of the characters are simple palette swaps of Red. And with the second one, It technically is possible, but it could only be accomplished on a dedicated SburbFortress server, with a scripted event that causes everyone to shout "Shut up". Sorry.

Trust us dog, if it was possible to have one class be represented by different characters on different teams, that would have been the plan from the start. As it stands, it's not possible in the slightest. That's why I've been pushing this whole multiple options thing.

[MetalKirby54]

Okay then, While we're at it, we may as well set up (yet another) list of characters. :/ Buggah.

As it stands, the character list is this (I say we exclude Dersites and Prospitians, just for the sake of having characters that look too similar [i.e. SS and AR]):
Scout - Dave / Gamzee
Soldier - Rose / Jake
Pyro - Terezi / John

Demoman - Gamzee /Terezi / Dave
Heavy - Equius
Engineer - Sollux

Medic - John / Kanaya
Spy - Vriska
Sniper - Jade / Eridan

The only ones we know to be set in stone are Heavy, Engineer, and Spy (for now). And we still have like, three more kids we haven't even breached the subject on.

That's over 20 interchangeable characters, some of which show up more than once on the list, and only one modeler to do this whole list of 20 interchangeable characters.
Let's start with the beta release of the original 9 characters we decided on in the old thread, shall we?

Scout - Dave
Soldier - Rose
Pyro - Terezi
Demoman - Gamzee
Heavy - Equius
Engineer - Sollux
Sniper - Jade
Medic - John
Spy - Vriska

We can worry about the interchangeables later.

Ah. As you were, then.

[The Mather1]

Idea:
Instead of calling out in dismay when Karkat announces a sudden death, Jade and Sollux could tell him to fuck off.

That was what I meant, actually

[The Mather1]

I just specified it more, since that's the only occasion on which the players respond to the announcer.

[Nordinkel]

you could add some of the stfu lines when someone scores a hit or kills one.

for example, when jade shoots someone, she yells SEE, IM DOING IT ALREADY YOU FUCKASS!

i'd love to see jade yelling at karkat again.

Already stated before. It's only possible to be a scripted event on a dedicated Sburbfortress server. Again, while it would be cool, It's highly unlikely that it would work.

well, they already do it in vanilla TF2.
to be more precise, i just suggested to replace some (c+2) emotes. like those appearing when pressing C+2. They randomly get activated when hitting/killing a person. there are also class specific lines like "Bloody spy!" when you kill one.

This would also cause kind of a shitstorm at karkat at the beginning of each round, but i think that would be kinda hilarious.

[Emeexuqu]

The site will be getting an actual domain name soon
so the old link to the site might go invalid after a few more days
i'll post more info once it pop's up

Hi there!



Because wwhy not?

[945pie]

I'm finding this mod very interesting, I'll throw up some Dave auditions later if I can
