This new script was ideated by me and written entirely by Tiotimolina.
Its like playing ts but each hog has 2 random weapons and 1 random utility for the rest of the game. The weapon set is not customizable tho.Uber weapons and uber utilities are disabled.

Cool!

So basically this is a lot like Balanced Random Weapon, except the weapons you got never change. Big Grin

Do you agree with releasing this script under a free software license like the GNU General Public License 2.0 (same license under which Hedgewars is released under)?
This would simplify a lot of things for us and our users, thanks! Smile

The Random Specialists v2 is out.
The update brings some weapon balancing and visual improvements.
Now every weapon has a correspondent hat and role name so that a hog with three weapons will have the name and the hat that corresponds to one of the random weapon that he has.

I am not happy with some names:

  • Nazi for mine strike (I suggest: Air General)
  • Whore for seduction (I suggest: Siren or Seducer)
  • Pathfinder for rope (I suggest: Ninja)
  • Ninja for sticky mine (I suggest: Trapper)
  • I also suggest to swap Terminator and Solider (for better consistency with the original Specialists)

Here it is : https://pastebin.com/5ZP1PPzK

Keep in mind that the .cfg file should allow the customization of the scheme and the weapon scheme

Hmmm, the script has a bug.

If any team starts with more hedgehogs than the number of enabled weapons (from the weapon scheme), then the script errors out.
For example, if your weapon scheme has only bazookas and grenades, but you start a 6vs6 game, the game will instantly quit with an error, which screws up Hedgewars pretty badly.

Minor problem: There are several strings without loc().

OK, I still found a few minor issues:

- Still not everything collected by loc()
- If a class appears multiple time, it is listed multiple times
- Zombie hat not working

But I have fixed them myself because it's faster that way.
I also renamed a few classes (“The trickster” → “Trickster”, for all other classes I capitalized every word). I also extended the mission panel a bit and added a few code comments.

Please have a look at the script and tell me if it's OK:

If you're happy with this, I am probably going to upload it to DLC.
