Both of these are minimods and are packaged independently below, together, and Legions Aero will also have both of them packaged inside of it later.
Why Should I be Interested?
Flammenwerfer and Shatterbolt are the first Legions mods to have status effects.
Flammenwerfer
Flammenwerfer modifies the player.cs file in order to turn the otherwise worthless Blaster Rifle into a weapon that has a DoT. I have also tried to convert it to a flamethrower fully by upping it's RoF, decreasing range, decreasing velocity, etc, but the end result was simply not fun. As such, I abandoned that idea and simply went with a DoT. Re-igniting someone will result in increasing the duration of the DoT.

Shatterbolt
Shatterbolt also modifies the player.cs file to create the status "Broken." I drew ideas on this from the death message of the Skybolt, "x was shattered by y." Each hit by the Skybolt now increases damage from other weapons by 5% for a splash hit and 15% for a direct hit. Repeated hits will increase the damage multiplier. Also, over time, the amount will reduce to 0% at which point, the status is removed. Every 300 milliseconds, 1 percentage point is lost. Therefore, a direct hit will result in 4.5 seconds of increased damage sensitivity with it dropping off linearly until zero as mentioned before.

Combined Status Pack
The idea was to create a mod that would give purpose to the two most underused weapons. The Blaster Rifle now instills a DoT and the Skybolt increases damage sensitivity for a duration. It is my hope that these two together (or apart, whichever the end-user decides they would like) will add depth as they instill the first status effects. Currently, there are no graphical elements, though this may change in the future.

How-To
Many statuses could easily be done by modifying the player.cs file in the server/game/ directory. The way I did it was to simply have things more or less like this:
str1 and str2 are simply two names you give it for identification. For instance, I used the following for my mods:
If you are familiar with torque, it should be pretty easy to do.
Advice for Status Development
Note: If you don't want to make your own status effects, skip this section.
I exceeded the word limit, so I stuck this section in a .docx file. Download

Future Use
As always, feel free to use my mods in part or in full. Just make sure to include me in your credits and shoot me a PM before your public release. I like to know what my work is being used in.
