The Monster Resource Wad

The "blinding" was actually discussed a while ago - give a monster the A_MonsterRail codepointer in his attacks several times over, and make sure his attack damage is set to 0. Your screen will flash red for a while, or at least, that's what the intended effect is.

The only thing that would suck though is he wouldn't be able to seek rervenge on another monster, or it would look stupid. So it would have to be set to NOT get back at a monster that accidently hits him.

Oh, and last night I did make my useless imp, an Imp that can't do anything. If you shoot him a soul sphere and a gun flys out

He could be The Piñata Imp! Shoot the Imp for prizes.

lol, yes. It's funny when another monster pisses it off though. It seeks revenge by walking up to him and looking at him while doing nothing.

For some reason that reminds me of those "PUNCH THE MONKEY" ads - wouldn't it be funny to make a Decorate monster that just runs around, and when you shoot it, he drops a pop-up ad?

you can also have a monster that has A_CustomBulletattack (0,0,500,0,"BulletPuff") for the attack and have it shoot that constantly for a constantly being blinded effect.

Or you could, make it uses SetFont to set the font to a giant white (or black, whatever!) graphic, and then constantly use the Print(s:"a") to blind the player?

2 things mate.

1.We'll be able to tell You how good it is in a better way if You actually made a test wad with it, so we could see it in action.
2.Go to the editing forum, start a new thread or post it in the "Monster Resource Thread". There are little chances anyone will see it here.

Hmm, I once made a GhostImp based off of white imp sprites and a black imp fireball. TDA did the Decorate, but Graf didn't like it

If wasn't white, it was pink! Which wasn't the biggest problem. The main problem was that I couldn't find a way to make it fit into the monster WAD.

Well, I never said I knew WHY you didn';t like it

At the time I simply figured I would add a new imp

Hey, I'm relatively new to Doombuilder. I've made numerous wads with DEU and such, but am a bit rusty around the edges. I would love to be able to include the monsters from the resource wads into some of my own levels, but I've been getting nowhere with what I've tried.

I have monsters.wad in the Doombuilder directory of course.
I tried going to Tools->Configuration and where it says Use %A or %F (still not sure which) I replaced %A with monsters.wad. No idea where the monster sprites are to be selected. Do I need to replace "-iwad %D" with "-iwad Doom2" and so on? So far it looks like this: -iwad %D -file "%A" "humans.wad" +map %L -skill 4 The engine is set to zdoom skill 4.

If possible, I'd like a step-by-step procedure to put the new monsters in a level I created. (Though I'd still run monsters.wad with the other wad file)

I downloaded the cfg files which Zero said would help with DB (on page 39 I think), but I have no idea how to use a .cfg file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! And fantastic job on those monsters!

(I posted this in the original Monster Resource thread, but that's kind of old, so I 'm posting this here.)

I would like to have those Resource monsters for the next Hell Reaveled.
