Matchlock Musket

[Thothie]

I'd be willing to add a func_mortar style cannon, for use in a siege situation or ship battle - but I think I'm going to have the technology line before musket.

There's a script for a steam powered gnome'ish crossbow though... Still need either Orochi or Jester to come through with a crossbow model, now that we have VS's permission to use their's as a base. (Thank Troy Tompson)

if you're going to place a timeframe on mastersword, i believe the chinese had rudimentary hand-cannon type weaponry earlier than europe had muskets or whatever. regardless, the dwarfs live in cave networks under the ground, and may have smuggled the technology from china into the pseudo-european climate of MS:C.

and we need a golden crossbow named Eitri's Bow, just because.

maybe weapons that are title specific? that way berzerkers can swing two weapons simultaeneously XD

It's another world, I don't have to draw a timeline - just a tech line.

Ya got yer catapults and fireballs - leave me alone!

 

[bluezerosix7]

where are catapults?

 

[Tentadrilus]

I don't want muskets, I like throwing the little balls myself.

 

[Thothie]

where are catapults?

Alright, YOU don't have catapults, but THEY have catapults (You'll ocassionally see catapults in use by orcs raiding Helena. - You'll also likely see more elaborate usage of said on near-future maps.)

But hey, you got fireballs, close enough.

Fireballs from the crack of yer arse?

 

[ceriux]

would be kool to get a slingshot

Make a view and player model and it's yours... Probably not all that hard - just needs to spin. I think you can use the last few frames from the sheath anim from the standard shoirtsword viewmodel to hold and twirl the thing over your head.

 

[The Man In Black]

twirl the thing over your head.

Final Fantasy 7 sword anyone?
