Custom Player Class

Its not my DLC. Its ours, and its going to be the unofficial 5th DLC for the game.

SleepMaster · 2015-12-04T11:24:23.134Z

Yeah you are right its our DLC

Mr_GJ · 2015-12-04T19:58:20.713Z

Weaponswapspeed and jumpheight are 2 very doable things.

SleepMaster:

First off main skill - Really great idea but, main skills are hardcoded and they differ from other simple skills by extra features, so the closest thing to your main skill would be to edit phasewalk, but still I am not sure it could work. Also you can forget about slow time, the best slow time we created was to slow enemies movement speed and bullet speed wich was game breaking for multiplayer.

I haven’t tried that in multiplayer. Do you mean game breaking as in overpowered, or actually crashing the game?
If it’s the former, I think the slow movement and projectile speed is a reasonable effect if confined to a radius. Also, I’m sure some combination of decreased gravity and decreased jump height could make aerial movement seem slow-mo as well.

SleepMaster:

" After killing an enemy, you can double jump for a few seconds" - not possible to make double jumps

Pretty sure you’re right, but I wonder if the Globals can be changed in the same way you switch to your custom character. If you could swap to your own modified Globals, I think it could change a lot. I’m pretty sure that’s where simple skills like “Jump” are set. But even then, I don’t know if you could modify the jump skill to allow double jumps (while also having the default jump if the skill is inactive).

SleepMaster:

“Jump height: 10% plus per rank” - I think this one could be possible, not sure though.

Yep

SleepMaster:

“While jumping, you can attack an enemy below you, dealing 50% melee damage per rank and daze them for 2 seconds per rank” - not possible to make

I think there might be an IsFalling attribute that you could use to determine if your player is jumping. The enemy below you thing is probably not possible or more trouble than it’s worth. The rest could be done I believe.

Side-note: Melee override skills are possible right? I don’t remember what it looks like where you enter the character’s melee animations, but can you place multiple anims with parameters (like with weapons)?

SleepMaster:

“Weapon swap speed: 10% per rank” - I think its possible to edit weapon swap speed but I am not sure about that

Yup

SleepMaster:

Other skills can be made without any problem. But I must warn you that its impossible to change skill icons. For example if I make your guardian out of Lilith he will have all skill icons from Lilith’s set.

I wonder if TexMod works in BL1. I know it does in BL2. If so, you could change the skill icons.

But yeah overall making a character is a lot of work.

Well in my opion its just too easy when they are slowed down. And in multiplayer when one person uses it then other player can also easly take out enemies.

Hmm this one is interesting, I must check it out

As far as I checked melee override is not possible to make.

Well if you change skill icons for custom character then you change for original one as well so I am not sure if its worth it.

Under the main skill I mean… I’m thinking of a “field”. Within it, you and the enemies can’t shoot, and move, and the enemies’/teammates’ bullets can’t go into that field (like the phalanx skill in BL2)

Movement speed: then just a regular all-direction improvements?

Forget the double jumps

Invisibility: maybe decrease the time to half? And oh, you can take damage while invisible

Main skill duration increase: I have a pearlescent class mod (Iscariot), and when my sabre turret is active, and I kill an enemy, the cooldown bar recharges a little bit. Btw. I always use that COM, thanks Mr_GJ

I’m thinking about new and doable skills, but I have a little time (christmas, exams )

Ohh f**k… my english sucks…

SleepMaster · 2015-12-30T18:03:02.326Z

Thanks for feedback, but for now i wont be able to do anything with custom player stuff, as i am busy with unofficial 5th dlc content

rolee9309 · 2015-12-30T20:03:19.206Z

I understand

Mr_GJ · 2016-01-08T19:48:49.311Z

SleepMaster · 2016-01-08T21:21:17.323Z

I sound terrible D:

Mr_GJ · 2016-01-09T09:19:02.950Z

Mmmh. According to the Wikia it ain’t fully confirmed yet whether its Bloodwing as a name or as a species (that’s why we were confused). We’d have to open her up in UDK to see where GBX categorized her in. That’s normally the get-to-name for the species.

Mr_GJ · 2016-01-09T18:29:41.443Z

We’ll see what UDK says…

(edit)

According to UDK. Trashfeeder, Corpsefeeder and Bloodwing are all located under the same species category tab. This means that Bloodwing is the name of the species and not the individual, as GBX categorized each species by name. Meaning that all Skags (Skagzilla, Moe, Marley, Skrappy, Badass Skags, Pup Skags, etc.) are located in the Skag tab and so on and so on.

I can already see that character intro.

SleepMaster
Breaking the game, bringing the pain

I’m literally squeeing right now.

SleepMaster · 2016-01-12T17:46:21.074Z

Haha nice one, but all intros are made as movies, and I am not really skillful into video editing to make intros like these from Borderlands.

daltonjhoward · 2019-03-05T17:50:09.625Z

How did you do this??? Any tutorials I’d love to try myself if I’m honest, 3 years later but I still play the game and would love to know how lmao

This might help - strictly PC only though.
