Not necessarily. Direct replacements should work. Replacements with random spawners won't, unless you give the BOSSDEATH flag to all the spawner-spawned monsters.Ed the Bat wrote:Speaking of maps, I saw that some of them use scripts that check for monsters by both species and TID. This means that custom monster replacement packs will break how many of these maps work.
Ah, how disappointing... I was looking forward to showing a friend through the adventure.scalliano wrote:...it runs the risk of breaking a number of scripts, at best leaving the player lagging behind waiting things out, and at worst, making the maps unbeatable. A good example is the aforementioned MAP06 blue key trick.
Nope; scripts that use thingcount() and check for a class name will not know what to look for now.Gez wrote:Not necessarily. Direct replacements should work.
okay x_xscalliano wrote:Hold your horses there, Ed - the reason ToP doesn't support co-op is because it runs the risk of breaking a number of scripts, at best leaving the player lagging behind waiting things out, and at worst, making the maps unbeatable. A good example is the aforementioned MAP06 blue key trick.
Also, this mod was never really designed with compatibility with gameplay mods in mind. Making it so would involve total redesigns in places, and that's far too much work. Most gameplay mods are designed to run with vanilla/Boom maps, but this is a specific ZDoom episode. If authors want to create custom patches to make ToP function correctly with their mods, that's fine, but it's not for me to do.

Darn it, but I gotta have my reloading weapons and ejecting shellcasings. I'll try it with Weapons of Saturn, one of the few weapons mods I have that change the weapons and weapons alone, because it adds to the immersion immensely hearing shellcasings hitting the floor and having to reload my weapons makes me think more tactically and not be prone to try stupid things in maps.Also, this mod was never really designed with compatibility with gameplay mods in mind.
