Do you think maybe you could give it a shot then, Demian?

Request #2: Weapon: Atlatl/Tlacochtli
Job Type: Modeler and Scripter

The Aztec dart thrower was a weapon used to hurl small darts called "tlacochtli" with greater force and from greater range than they could be thrown by hand. Murals at Teotihuacan show warriors using this effective weapon and it is characteristic of the Mesoamerican cultures of central Mexico. The atlatl could also throw spears as its name implies "spear thrower".

As you can see, the atlatl itself is actually used like a bow is to an arrow. I understand that the animations for the atlatl could be very, very hard to do. In the case that it cannot be done, what is called a 'tlacochtli' will suffice. A tlacochtli is basically a small, feathered dart, much like an arrow, that is what was commonly used as ammo for the atlatl.

As I was saying, an atlatl and tlacochtli firing animation could be very, very hard to do. In this case a throwable tlacochtli would do just fine. The tlacochtli/atlatl should kill on hit, except within a smaller radius. For example, take the default spear. The default spear has been known to be rather overpowered. It is rather large, and kills on hit, whilst also creating a kind of explosion around the player. The tlacochtli should be just as deadly as the default spear, except smaller, so that it does not create such a large explosion, and should only kill on direct contact with the player.

Now for some pictures of the tlacochtli missile:

This is one of the more needed add-ons.

Not too quickly, of course, we don't want it to look bad, now do we?

If you do decide to model this one as well then take your time, Demian, there's no rush.
