A foolish idea for an IVAN TC
Maybe I'll try it at some point since my idea basically involves stripping the game of most of the equipment and replacing it with scrolls (no view weapon) of martial arts. I'll probably have to rework every single monster, and make some new graphics, though.

Which brings me to my first question: Can you create a weapon that uses the unarmed skill? Alternatively, can you rename skills or create new ones?


Now for some random ideas I'll toss out.

Weapons:
Boxing gloves
Brass knuckles
Bagh nakh
Tekko
Scroll of Karate
Scroll of Muay Thai
Scroll of Taekwondo
Scroll of Jeet Kune Do (high chance to block?)

Artifact Weapons:
The holy scrolls of Hokuto Shinken (Throw in random ATAH! after some attacks :>, enemy has chance to randomly explode)
Ippo's boxing gloves (randomly scream SENDOUUUUU, enemy has chance to fall unconscious)
The holy scrolls of Nanto Seiken (does cut damage)

Armor:
Various martial arts outfits

Artifact armor:
Kenshiro's outfit (gets torn to shreds easily, is it possible to make something repair itself and do something special when it's torn?)

Helmets:
Training helmet
Mouthpiece

Artifact helmets:
Jagi's helmet (dunno what this could do, I just like the way it looks)


Random ideas pasted from IRC/added on a whim
<Somagu> I'm not sure how I would handle materials, but besides that I'm sure I could find a way to set the various martial arts apart from others
<Somagu> With a little studying, at least.
<Somagu> If there's a way to make it not show the material name, then I could just make the scroll's appearance either somehow static or use the secondary material.
<Somagu> Actual scrolls would have to be replaced with something else
<Somagu> Perhaps enchantments could reflect how advanced your technique is
<Somagu> Ippo, Kenshiro, Rei, Jagi, Raoh, etc. can be gods
<Somagu> Which would work well for the artifacts
<Somagu> Fountains could be vending machines
<Somagu> A lot of the things I'm suggesting I'm pretty sure would require source modifications however, or are even impossible

These are just random ideas I'm tossing out, I'm 95% sure this will go nowhere.

It'd easily be the manliest IVAN mod/fork of all god damn time, I suggest Zangief Thong that gives bonuses versus bears.

Is easily the most awesome idea for a mod.

Most of what you have there can be easily achieved through script editing.

Although you would most likely want to make new graphics for the characters (Ninjas, battle monks, Russian wrestlers...)

And armor should be dependent on rank (an attribute?). Shinobi, daimyo etc?

Oh, and limited weapons too. Like kunai, tanto, shuriken, cudgels?

You deliver a crippling piledriver to Petrus the High Priest of the Great Frog!
His head is severed off!

One more thing, an object does not show its material if it only has 1 possible material.

I never did say anything about ninjas, but I may consider it. The idea was martial arts and brawling, not ninjas.

But monks are a good idea, and thanks much for your input.

I was thinking ninjas because of ninjutsu (spelling?) as is fitting with the martial arts theme. Like it could be dependent on Agi and Dex.

Maybe capoeira (spelling?) too? Dependent on Lstr and Agi.

I don't know if you could do that by sole scripting, but you could rename the misc skill to unarmed. And then make items that use the misc weapons skill.
 
Introducing the IVANOV text-based trailer:

You hear someone screaming: "Surpriiiiise buttsecks!"
You hear a faint thump.
One of your comrades has fallen in battle. (Death message: Raped to death by a whip mistress' dirty attack below the belt in Gloomy Torture Chamber #1)
-
The ghost of EagleV touches you in the groin!
You feel quite happy.
