Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

I do have an idea: have the 10x multiplier effect items as well, for when you think you really need to even the odds against the hordes. (provided you're not playing Russian Overkill anyway.)

So this appears to be broken on the most recent stable GZDoom 3.2.5 - it crashes on level start. I tried to troubleshoot it, but I can't figure out how to compile the ACS, it fails with ACC, GDCC-ACC, and BCC. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this working again?

Hey, just by the way on this - it only ended up crashing on VMs that had limited memory. Found out that there is an issue with the 'spawnqueue' array value of 256. Apparently setting it to that can cause crashes on some systems. If you're having issues, if you change that value to anything lower than 256 and recompile with GDCC-ACC it should fix the issue.

One problem I have with this mod nowadays is if there's a lot of same species monsters converging ontop of one another, it causes huuuuuge slowdown (especially on maps that use the teleporting monster closets separate from the playing area). Another problem is that the monsters multiplied from monsters spawned from the BossEye actor aren't given the +BOSSSPAWNED flag, and thus aren't killed with sv_killbossmonst when the Icon of Sin dies.

Hopefully someone in the future will rewrite this to use ZScript instead of ACS.

So far, works great, with the exception that i HIGHLY miss the fact i could pass through monsters.
A version , as an option for this, would be a blessing.
Only issue i got with this mod...
Normally, i used to have a semblance of a chance because i could risk a pass through, now i'm cornered and slaughtered by 200+ monsters because THEY can clip with one another, but i cannot.

Makes me almost want to use cheats of some kind...

3.2.5 - GZDoom
Works fine just fine, no issues - Need to reinstall/downgrade to this version it seems...

g3.3pre-732~~~~~ - GZDoom
I don't understand that it now crashes with "Out of bounds memory access in ACS VM"
Any way to "fix" that?
It previously worked, now it does not? what gives?

This is a fixed version of 10xu.pk3 that will work in recent versions of GZDoom.

This fix is limited: you cannot have more than 10 000 monsters.
Spoiler: dirty fix

I think it isn't possible. The problem is in RGF_NOSIGHT flag for A_RadiusGive action function. It seems that Zandronum doesn't support it. This flag is needed for giving all monsters a particular item that adds monsters to spawn queue.
If there is another way to give an item to all monsters on a map, then Zandronum support may be possible. If you know any, please share. Or we have to wait until this flag is available in Zandronum.

Would it be possible to, when monster randomizers are involved, to have a different monster of the same class be spawned in as well?

Perhaps worth noting that I've previously encountered the same issue when using both Colourful Hell and That's What I Call MIDI (only if latter is loaded last). Back then I traced the error to somewhere inside commonFuncs.h. That's as much as I know on the matter. Couldn't pinpoint the precise source of the issue.
