Hello, and Welcome to This (Not So Pretty) Forum Thread for my First Mod!


Features:

- New and Bright Ideas for using Projectiles that can be Completely Useless to OP
- Stuff I made during class when I should be paying attention...
- Borrowed and Recolored Vanilla Textures (For Now...)
- One Merchant Who Sells Some of the Materials (Maybe More NPCs Later On)
- Most of All... Fun!

New WIP mod? Lemme take a look. Is some of the weapons really OP?

 

[Sin Costan]

I tried my best with the balancing and hoping they are not that OP. I hope that you enjoy this mod and tell me what I can do to make it more balanced!

 

[Nopezal]

Looks really nice! Definitely will have to check out some time.

Weapons are not that overpowered. I can say that it is balanced.

 

[Sin Costan]

Weapons are not that overpowered. I can say that it is balanced.

Thanks for your input! I think I might power them up maybe by a little bit.

 

[TheManOfMods]

Thanks for your input! I think I might power them up maybe by a little bit.

The Flame Pillar Mine is very effective against groups of enemies!

Most of the "Mod's Contents" Items now have a preview of their projectiles in action. Spoil it at your own risk.

EDIT: Removed all Basemod dependencies because most of the items didn't need Basemod. Sorry for updating the tapi file just to remove BaseMod dependencies.

I am sorry about the constant updating of the tapi file, I just keep finding things that are going wrong with the current items. For recompense, I am adding one of the weapons I have been working on for the next big update; the ancient bow, which will only need 1 Dirt Block until I release the next big update. Also, I just thought about it, and it's sort of confusing if I keep the older versions of the tapi on the forum, so I will be removing that too.

Spoiler: The Ancient Bow

- Pre Hardmode Bow
- Does Not Use Ammo (Currently or Won't Ever)
- 20 Damage
- Rains Bolts of Lights after Projectile Death

[TheManOfMods]

Orbital Ray seems like gonna be a great weapon!

 

[KingKirmit]

HOLY CRAP! these are amazing, really some of the coolest projectiles I have seen!
Keep up the amazing work!!

 

[Sin Costan]

Thank you, I have been working on some concepts (though some of them don't seem to be not working for now), but I have mostly completed the Orbital Ray (though is not as great as it should be) and will be starting on some other projects (like a Shadow Beam Heat Ray / Shadow Beam Laser Rifle) and improving some of the items (for example Force of Will will increase defense/cut damage). Can someone help me make sprites for these items? I really don't want to keep recoloring vanilla items to my liking.

 

[Sin Costan]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnddd I am back! With more crap to have fun with with COFP Version 3! I won't be working on this for a bit because I am sort of out of ideas... Also I am helping someone with their mod. I will be adding all the new content on my Mod's Content spoiler later on with full GIF previews. Also I have a spriter (Nagapon) , yay! I guess you can expect better Sprites for some of my less unique weapons in a later release!

[Sin Costan]

Previews for the new items are now up, take a gander!

 

[Nagapon]

Pumping up the thread with a preview of our brand new amazing saws! That now look more like ninja stars, but still awesome!

(SC new saw*) >

(Metalman's saw from Megaman 2) >

(SC old saw)

As you can see, our new saw is much, much more amazing than Metalman's and the old saw. You can't argue with facts!
