Colourful Hell 1.01 fix fix tweak tweak

[4thcharacter]

The update time couldn't be more perfect. At a friday night too!

The color translation on some zombies definitely look better, but the new ground attack of blue chaingunner seems messy, graphical-wise.

Also, there was a talk about single-color game modes and difficulty with this game way, way before here. Since I saw DoomRL's new announced difficulty, would it be possible to have a progressive map spawning as a game mode?

Way back then I thought of this having a progressive mode where on the beginning maps the stronger enemies like orange and red are very rare but as it goes on they get more common and the weaker ones get rare but not entirely becoming the main enemy, probably the "main color" stops at pink. The black and white still keeps their spawn chance as it is, making them common at the late game even with the player having a complete set of gear would be cruel.

Also, the new tags. They're actually hilarious, contrasting to the tags that have a serious feel that I actually gave them during the older versions when I went w/ the JPHud healthbar.

Well the attack isnt suppoused to be ground, more of close quarter, I might need to tweak it.

And yes, Ive talked about that with Yholl and Im definatly gonna have something similiar in plans
when I get around to remake the spawn system I will have a menu just for tweaking the spawns.

and yas, mission complete

Do any of the quotes on map start (other than black/white spawn alerts) have gameplay effect linked to them? I just got "Hey, how many imps have you killed today?" or similar.

[4thcharacter]

Nope.

[DarkTalon25]

Wait, isn't that itself a black/white imp spawn alert?

[ErrantMasa]

yeah, I figured that one out right quick. the first meeting was kinda disappointing; it spawned in a walled-off alcove in e1m6-- meaning no loot.

I retreated from a fight with red pain elemental, but when I came back, he wasn't there. I couldn't find him anywhere at all. After a while my health began to chip away, also there were some disturbing noises in the background. Is it supposed to be like this or was that a bug?

Hello!
I just want to make a small commentary on Colourful Hell.
I've been playing with it for the past weeks and it has been awesome! I combined it with Trailblazer and I've been having a huge blast! When I think I've seen it all, your mod throws another new boss that makes my jaws drop. Unholy crap, the white spiders things. Insane!!! Did you have all this ideas from scratch or did you made up while it is was developed? Incredible!
I'm going through megawads with your mod and I haven't got tired yet. I always want to play more. So much fun!
Well, that's all. Nice work! Your mod is awesome!

where is the compat patch for the guncaster?

Sorry if I ask and maybe this question was already answered, but: when I try to launch this mod together with the Ketchup-Mod, the monsters of Colorfull Hell won't spawn. Do I have to edit something?

Ketchup isn't exactly "universal" - as far as I remember, it adds its blood effects by outright replacing the monsters. So while the monsters don't include the Brutal effects like headshots and the like, they're still not compatible with other mods that replace monsters.

Ah. Good to know. Thanks.

I've been playing this mod with ketchup forever though, and it's been working for me. Are you using v5 nogibs?

Hello, Hege Cactus! Thank you for the awesome experience Colourful Hell provides. It's been a sister-staple monster mod in my gameplay for quite some time now - coupled with Combined Arms.

As the title implies, the other sibling is Fractal Doom which is my wishful defacto companion to Colourful Hell.

Would you consider assimilating Fractal Doom (or codes and sprites that function on its principle) within Colourful Hell? (This will greatly increase game difficulty which might require balancing adjustments unless monsters and their spawns are coded so as to also attack each other once hit and when not in very close proximity of doomguy.)

I am aware that a considerable amount of hours' worth of work is required, however, I lack the technical skill and expertise to achieve such a combination. Hence, after much contemplation, I made up my mind to ask you directly.

Having Fractal Doom's assimilation toggled off by default would keep the original Colourfull Hell experience intact.

Thanks a million for reading my suggestion.
