Mod to stop Hexen's respawning script

[Graf Zahl]

I remember that someone made such a thing some time ago, but I cannot find it anymore.
Does anyone still have a link to it?

[Kappes Buur]

Is it this one ?

Yes, like this, but in downloadable form. I know how to do it myself, of course, but that's more work...

Is there a smarter way to do it with event handlers? I'm not too keen on the idea of recompiling vanilla ACS scripts just to empty all their script 255 contents...

[Graf Zahl]

AFAIK that's precisely how this mod works - I just cannot find it.

It's from a 2 year old Doomworld thread by Memfis, here's the direct link.

Fun fact, I only recently discovered this mod myself, and after that Hexen got me hooked ever since

Thanks

For some reason I thought it was posted here. No wonder I couldn't find it.

No source code. Nice.

Fuck I'm so glad ZScript isn't compiled...

[Graf Zahl]

No need to worry. That entire thing is just one ACS_Terminate call:

Code: Select all

#library "cheater"
#include "zcommon.acs"

script "IAmCheating" open
{
   delay(10);
   ACS_Terminate(255);
}

I don't suppose any of the script255s in Hexen do anything other than spawning extra enemies do they? I know that the one triggered by Korax in map40 does (which would be immune to this mod because it is (void) instead of OPEN so won't be running when this mod one does), but that's a special case.

Code: Select all

script 255 (void)  
{
    Radius_Quake(const:5, 200, 3, 10, 245);
    Door_Open(const:145, 8);
}

255 is generally reserved for the respawning. That little hack is strictly meant for the original maps.
