Hearts of Demons - BARON [1.1.0] 7/29/22
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2016 4:40 am
Requires GZDoom 4.7.0 or higher! I strongly recommend to always be on the latest GZDoom version!
LZDoom is not supported
Discord Server for my mods
Works with Delta Touch! maybe

Git Repo
GZDoom can run zips like it can pk3 or WAD, so after downloading just load it up like you would any other mod.
For Heretic OR Doom!
You have awoken from an eon long slumber, from an long gone age. Sensing your displeasure, the Spiders turned your vassals against you, sealing you and your power away. Now you seek vengeance and upheaval. You will rise and show Hell that the Spiders are not what they should fear and obey, that it is you. You will show them what it means to be...
A Baron of Hell.
Rise from your sleep, take old weapons and ancient destructive magics in hand and plow your way through this traitorous new Hell's legions to overthrow the Spiders.
Gameplay changes
You, old Baron whose name is forgotten, are larger and stronger then most. With 1000 starting health, you are difficult to kill despite being too large for most armor. You can leap great distances with your powerful legs, and your cloven hooves fear no danger from lava or nukage. Human's medical technology has very little effect on you, but you can consume the souls of human enemies to restore your health and arcane power. Your eyes can see nearly perfectly in even the blackest darkness. You can build up speed while running and trample smaller enemies.
Old and powerful beyond compare, you hold the pieces for the Ritual of Ascension. All it requires is a little...something. Build up as you take damage, when maximized, you can press Weapon State 2 to transform into a Bruiser Demon! While much more powerful, hardier and with more powerful spells, this transformation is permanent. You can no longer wield your weapons in this form.
You will need to utilize Alt-Fire, Zoom, Use Item, Weapon State 2 and Reload.
Weapons
Terrible and varied, the weapons and sorceries of humans and ancient demons will serve you well in your quest for vengeance.
The Berserk, Light Amp, Blursphere and Environmental Suit have been replaced by spawners for the Spell Boost, Mana Boost, Enchantment Rune and Berserk.

Heavily inspired by Empathy, I've decided to make yet another mod that allows you to play as a Baron. Expanding upon their abilities and incorporating features of them from the 3 games they appear in, I wanted to build upon Empathy and make it a whole experience.
This is my first mod, and a learning exercise in DECORATE/ZScript so any and all comments, compliments and criticisms are welcome. It's playable and I want some outside input. When done with it will be a total character replacement with updated graphics on all items. You are OP but I felt it was necessary to really get the Baron feel across, and this was designed with monster mods in mind.
Latest Changelog
I know the file size is kinda large. Visuals and stuff. And the Hisotensoku sprites look like shit when rendered as Doom graphics. Also, I've never played Dark Awake but it's got some pretty sweet sprite effects. My code is probably inefficient too.
Incompatible Mods
Unfortunately, certain mods when used with this one will crash the game, or worse. Here are some to avoid.
10x Universal - Causes a crash with the Hydra Summon spell.
Recommended Mods
This mod makes you OP as fuck, and as I said, it is designed with monster mods in mind. Here's some personal favorite mods to use to boost your experience and difficulty. I take no credit, so if you like their work, go give them some love.
Colorful Hell - Do I really need to explain this one? Harder monsters and constant drops make for an awesome time. All these colors piss The Baron off, too. IS THAT A CYBER-KNIGHT?! BREAK IT!
LegenDoomLite - Makes enemies randomly assigned LEGENDARY which increases their health and gives them increased stats and drop Megaspheres on death. Compatible with Colorful Hell and almost all other monster mods; use them both for the best results.
Hellspawn: Hell's Army - Makes certain enemies summon reinforcements on death. Things get hectic pretty fast! The Spiders' know you are coming, and are pulling all the stops to impede your progress.
Demonic CounterStrike - Not related to CS:GO, it makes it where enemies and items will start spawning in areas you've already been. Combine with Hellspawn : Hell's Army for best results.
DoomKraken's Monster Randomizer - Originally built for Guncaster, it features a wide variety of pretty strong monsters. Includes The Baron's most hatedfavorite thing: cyber monsters!
Shades of Doom - A purely cosmetic mod, it swaps out every monster with tons of visual variants, while keeping their behavior the exact same as vanilla. For when you just want some variety with no gameplay changes. NOTE: Recent verisons have several sprite name conflicts with Baron. Use at your own risk.
Brutal Doom Monsters - The added gore and altered monster behaviors fit pretty well and add some difficulty. Mod features the damage types required to trigger alternate deaths. NOTE: Cannot pick up barrels with this.
Droplets - A blood mod of excellent quality. I almost never play without it.
Smooth Doom Monsters Only - Smooth animations for enemies with additional death animations and improved blood and gore. Highly recommend if you don't want to change monster gameplay at all.
Ludicrous Gibs - A gore mod that is compatible with just about everything! Things gib Duke Nukem style!
SpriteShadow - Dynamically draws Duke3D style shadows on any monster from any game or IWAD with the power of ZScript! By Nash, so you know it's pretty legit.
DAMNUMS - Displays damage numbers when you shoot, burn and otherwise bring harm to enemies, similar to games like Borderlands. Works with just about anything.
Tilt++ - Adds a highly customizable Quake style tilt to strafing and moving.

Spoiler: TLDR VersionHell. Those Spiderdemons have run it into the ground. The Icon of Sin allowed them to let it weaken, weaken to the point where some human dressed like a squash was able to crush it. Embarrassing.
