So I realized I had this thread. So I'm copying everything over here from the other one I made in my ignorance.
Here's the non-code content of the other thread:
Putting this here so that I can get feedback and such, and also so I don't lose the code.
So I've been getting more interested in IVAN scripting/coding again lately. In prelude to potentially beginning something more extensive, I've started scripting a few item ideas that I've had floating around in the back of my head. The balance on them might be off as I did only minimal, paper-testing of the items (I spawned them and checked the stats mostly).
Please don't post ideas for more things to script/code, I have plenty of ideas myself. What I would like is feedback on the items I have finished.
First up, bracers. Intended to be comparable to chain mail for the arms, basically a mid-way point between soft and hard material gloves. They have half the weight of normal gauntlets, as well has half the dexterity penalty, but retain a little more than 2/3 of the AV. Since there's no bracer graphic that I know of (and even if there was, I haven't experimented with changing item graphics yet) they still look like normal gauntlets, which can be a little confusing.
Don't forget to properly declare anything you add.
