Dude, rather than telling us what a good idea is and what isn't, give actual input on the scripting functions required for the job; let the map-makers and players decide what is a good idea and what isn't.

And to contribute in a limited way to the current issue: here's a link to another thread where more productive discussion occurred in regards to the SPECIFIC considerations for such an undertaking: http://j.mp/Jyw7w4

As of right now, it seems that enemies might be able to fire something at you with a simple function (ie simulating being fired AT), but so far no one has provided a clear immediate solution to the problem--i wonder if it is possible to add additional functions to the script?->probably not unless the game was compiled in a certain way..http://j.mp/JRA6d5

To future Amnesia modders & map-makers,
Best of luck! Big Grin

You guys should totally add a plasma rifle, AK47, dual wield G18s and an insta-kill 300 yard lunge knife!!

Ye! And a bazooka and grenade launchers, and flashbangs and hand grenades!

Seeing as the monsters in amnesia basicly live inside of dead bodies already, they'd probably not take any harm by a hand gun, if used to merely slow them down and keep ammo to a minimum this ain't a bad idea.

Throw boxes until you can push them off an edge.

Done.

I tried designing a flintlock. I almost did it! But then I brokeded it.

I believe there are some textures for the same pickaxe as the one in Penumbra: Black Plague, in the Amnesia folders?

Amnesia is meant to make you feel like you are weak and pathetic. It makes you panic if you hear a monster instead of running towards it with a RPG and just blow it up. Guns and weapons will ruin the atmosphere. Sure it would be nice to show the monster who is boss, but it will just ruin the game.

In the default game yes, but in a total conversion? That could easily be fixed.
