Freak Configuration

There are several variables to consider when making a custom boss for Freak Fortress 2.

The required variables are:

  • name
  • class
Class Number
scout 1
sniper 2
soldier 3
demoman 4
medic 5
heavy 6
pyro 7
spy 8
engineer 9

Note: From Freak Fortress 1.11.0 onward you can now just type the name of the class! No more confusing numbers.

  • model
  • ragedist Note: From Freak Fortress 1.11.0 the rage distance can use a formula.
  • description_en

The optional variables are:

  • health_formula (def. ((760+n)*(n-1))^1.075)
    • n (or x) means the number of players on the non-boss team
    • + means "addition"
    • - means "subtraction"
    • * means "multiply by"
    • / means "divide by"
    • ^ means "to the power of"
  • lives (def. "1")
  • maxspeed (def. "340")
  • sound_block_vo (def. "0") - Blocks class's normal lines
  • companion (def. "") - You can have a max of 3 bosses this way
  • ragedamage (def. "1900")
  • blocked (def. "0")

Boss Weapons

The boss needs weapons or else it will be a (pretty useless) civilian.

Item indexes are listed here, and weapon attributes are listed here.

Mandatory variables:

  • name
  • index

Optional variables:

  • show (def. "0")
  • attributes (def. "")

Note: All weapons are given the attributes +200% damage bonus and +2 capture rate.

"weapon1"
{
	"name"				"tf_weapon_wrench"
	"index"				"197" 
	"show"				"1"
}

This will give the hale a wrench with +200% damage bonus and +2 capture points.

Boss Abilities

By default, Freak Fortress 2 allows up to a maximum of 32 abilities, so go wild and make your boss as overpowered as possible.

Abilities are activated through sub-plugins. FF2 has several core subplugins that are included in the default download.

Slot system

	<Slot> - <Description>
	-2 - Invalid slot(internally used by FF2 for detecting missing "arg0" argument). Don't use!
	-1 - When Boss loses a life (if he has over 1)
	0 - Rage
	1 - Used by charging brave Jump. Fired every 0.2s
	2 - Demopan's charge of targe, projectiles etc.
	3 - Weighdown
	4 - Killed player (not used for sounds)
	5 - Boss killed (not used for sounds)
	6 - Boss backstabbed (not used for sounds)
        7 - Boss market gardened (not used for sounds)
	8..10 - Reserved.
	
 	11..2^31−1 - Available for general use


Note: Slots 8-10 inclusive not implemented. They are reserved for future use. You should not use negative slots at all. They are ugly anyway. The only useful negative slot is -1.

"ability1"
{
	"name" "rage_uber"
	"arg1"	"10.0"
	"plugin_name"	"default_abilities"
}

This will give the boss invulnerability when it rages.

"ability1"
{
	"name" "rage_uber"
	"arg0" "-1"
	"arg1"	"10.0"
	"plugin_name"	"default_abilities"
}

This will give the boss invulnerability when it loses a life.

More information for the default abilities subplugin can be found in default_abilities.ff2.

	"slot1"	"1"
	"2"	"saxton_hale\vagineer_responce_rage_1.wav"
	"3"	"saxton_hale\vagineer_responce_rage_2.wav"
	"4"	"saxton_hale\vagineer_responce_jump_1.wav"
	"slot4"	"1"

Boss Downloads

There are 3 types of downloads:

  • mod_download - The list of model downloads, where are required model files will be downloaded (.mdl, .physx, etc...)
  • mat_download - The list of material downloads, where are required material files be downloaded (.vmt, .vtf)
  • download - The list of single file downloads (.mp3, .wav, etc...)
"mod_download"
{
	"1" "models/player/saxton_hale/saxton_hale"
}
"mat_download"

	"1" "materials/models/player/saxton_hale/eye"
	"2" "materials/models/player/saxton_hale/hale_body"

"download"

	"2" "materials/models/player/saxton_hale/hale_body_normal.vtf"
	"3" "sound/saxton_hale/saxton_hale_responce_start1.wav"
