[Release] The Mutilator [Multiplayer Survival Horror mod]

[Zeberpal]

//[thumb]?



So, basically it's impossible to kill the maniac until it's 5 AM. To outrun the Mutilator, you can use various tactics and items like smoke bombs, pale blood, energy drinks, confuse him with sound emmiters and invisibility cloak. To avoid a large number of stressful situations you might want to act quiet and careful.
The maniac however, must be tricky to catch all the victims, as he also carries items that would do good for him.

Players have to gain points and bonus items by solving quests and puzzles. The more players on a server are, the harder game is.
Maps are packed with various secrets including special items, just easter eggs and the ones required for secret endings.
Best players get a place in the permant scoreboard.

This mod has been on beta-testing for month, after all the endless bugs were fixed it's time to release I guess.

TRAILER

Due to complexity this mod is getting updated all the time and is orientated for Zandronum players. It's really hard to keep up Download links and such, so if you really want to play it, you'll have to
download a multiplayer doom browser. Launch it and type 'mutilator' in a search option to find the server. It'll download all the necessary wads and will launch the game.
If you want to wander around maps alone, do some quests maybe, then you'll have to launch the maps from console:

Code: Select all • Expand view

map mdi01        //to play fist map
map mdi02        //to play the second one


once map is loaded, type in console

Code: Select all • Expand view

pukename single

to spawn in the map. However there is no actual tense gameplay in singleplayer, also no cutscenes, endings and much much more.

I've come up with this idea 4 years ago, but I could not finish it due to lack of coding experience and time. Plus Friday13th:The Game was announced later that year, which made me ultimatelly forget about it for a while.Link.
This year however I wanted to finish it. When I showed some screenies I was told it look a like DeadByDeaylight and I have never heard about this game before until lately. That's kinda sad.

Looks good, I'll try it out in a bit, but I just wanted to say that it may be to your benefit to upload a package that is already fully set up for players to use on moddb or something where all they need to do is add their Doom2 wad. Some people are turned off by complexity and I can see your mod getting less traction because of it.

Indeed, I'm not too keen on getting a mod through Doom Explorer.

Zerberpal is alive !?

STOP THE PRESSES !!

@skdursh @Curunir
I read you. Will do it as soon as possible, it can be done in two clicks I think, thanks for pointing that out!
@Solid-Head How are you!

[Solid-Head]

@Solid-Head How are you!

I'm very good thank you ! Look very nice but sadly there's no one around to test this right now. I really like the idea.I always thought that it was way scarier playing the murderer in WDI than the other way around. Once everyone knew that you were the killer, it was whooping time for you. Playing as a stronger and meaner maniac sounds right in my alley. I will report back when I'll play a couple of games.
As always thank you for this !

PS: You really didn't do yourself justice with theses pictures. The maps look very good. Same level of details as the Expack as I can see.

Zeberpal, it's good to have you back.

PS, this might be important... the wdi_bigpack3.7fix1.pk3 link is 404'd and can't be downloaded.

I'm sorry I had a serious lack of time lately, so I had to choose either to update the mod with urgent gameplay changes or work on Easy Launching. I had to go with 1st one
There were quite a number of people on server yesterday, and it didn't played out well.
Victims had a hardcore time (the more players on a server the more stamina you had to waste and refill) to evade Mutilator effectively, while it was just boring for Mutilator to chase or look for this large bunch of people.
So since next revision, if there are 8 players and more, one of them is morphed into Maneater Dog or the Butcher to help out the maniac, and if >16 another one is morphed. Victim's stamina is stable. It will keep a dynamic flow of the game for both sides.

Okay, now to work on Easy Launch.

Thank you, fixed.

Did a trailer:

Minigames for spectators/dead players have been added, to ease the pain of waiting for the next round(2DWANGO a platformer Deathmatch; GHOSTED where spec becomes a ghost and can fouling living players around).
On the gameplay side, many features has been added since the last post, including WhoDunIt ones.

Also a proper scoreboard has been added, and we arrange seasons now! At the moment of this post we have started Season 6, and here's the 5th results:

The trailer video is deleted for some reason.

[Zeberpal]

Ah, thank you, fixed!

[Zeberpal]

Players have been wondering, where to check their scores. We've been posting them in our inconspicuous discord, however they are now present in the top post in the thread as well.
For example, the latest one was season 7, here are the results:



Also, If by chance, you wish to make a map for the Mutilator, here is a template. It requires some tough experience in ACS and mapping in general though, but you may try. DOWNLOAD

gotta give it a try this week!
