How to exclude specific monsters from spawning from randomized roster?
Re: Shades of Doom v3.0 - Off the chart (02/02/20)
That's not possible without editing the mod. I recently posted a guide for doing exactly this.zenlikecreature wrote:How to exclude specific monsters from spawning from randomized roster?

This is probably a stupid question but, is this mod a cosmetic monster replacer or does actually change the gameplay

Re: Shades of Doom v3.0 - Off the chart (02/02/20)
All changes with the custom enemies are aesthetic. Things like sprites, sounds, visual effects, etc. Mechanically they're exactly the same as the enemies they replace.Dr. Lugawi wrote:This is probably a stupid question but, is this mod a cosmetic monster replacer or does actually change the gameplay

My favorite monster replacer for over two years, and it keeps getting updates, seriously this screams Variety is the Spice of Life and its swell
Re: Shades of Doom v3.0 - Off the chart (02/02/20)
Amazing mod
Choosing monsters feature is great
Can you maybe add a melee centric pistol zombie that goes well with the biohorror aesthetic with some of the monsters already in?
That would be amazing

Thanks for the kind words! I've been through a bit of a burn out, but posts like this keeps me going. It means a lot.AstartesCitizen wrote:My favorite monster replacer for over two years, and it keeps getting updates, seriously this screams Variety is the Spice of Life and its swell

I don't think i quite understand what you mean by "melee centric pistol zombie". I strive to make every variant work exactly like their respective archetype, so adding a zombieman variant with a melee attack is out of the scope of this mod.
Also, I did not make any of the monsters in the mod, I just added them. You can post an image of a monster, or link to one and I'll give it a look.
On a general note: I'm working on the next version, but this one is going to take a while to make. I'm not quite ready to tease any new content, but I'll probably post something down the line. As always, suggestions & bug reports are welcome!
But please don't suggest full customization of the roster. I know you want it. I know I want it. I don't know how to code it.

If that's the case, let me add my two cents: SoD is absolutely great, it's still among my top favourites and I've probably used it more than any other monster mod.Cyanide wrote:Thanks for the kind words! I've been through a bit of a burn out, but posts like this keeps me going.
So there
But I'd remove the Xenomorph from it. Its place is in the Aliens TCs imo. But that's just me and it's just one monster type! I think I love everything else.

I'm grinding away at the next version. As said before, it will take a while, but I'm getting into a good rutine of getting some stuff done every day. I've found, that setting a very achievable goal results in more stuff done, than if I set the bar too high.

It's good to hear that you've found a good cartain pace when working on SoD. Take your time.
Would you consider introducing presets for the mod? This could work as a shortcut for manually choosing monsters in Monster Selector mode. The presets could be, for instance, 'Primal', 'Cyberized', 'Medieval' etc. and would include the whole roster done in a certain vein, like the above mentioned examples. I think you could say you already have something like this in the mod, namely the Lost Soul/Elemental presets in the Selector.
Re: Shades of Doom v3.0 - Off the chart (02/02/20)
I've actually toyed around with this idea, but never actually tried it out, since in older versions the Theme feature (which is kinda the same thing) was absolutely awful to maintain.Yebudoom wrote:Would you consider introducing presets for the mod?

With the monster selector, this might be a little less annoying to maintain, so I'll give it a go at some point.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Shades of Doom v3.0 - Off the chart (02/02/20)
Installing this mod is bit akward, since I need to reference the correct order of addons on the original forum post, otherwise its easy to make the mistake of loading them out of order. Could you rename the files so that they'd have a number as their first character in their filenames? Like this:
(^this is what I have in my gzdoom-username.ini. I have a MD folder for mods, that has an ADD folder for Addons/Monster-replacers)
Code: Select all
Path=$PROGDIR/MD/ADD/Shades of Doom/1ShadesV3.pk3
Path=$PROGDIR/MD/ADD/Shades of Doom/2SoD_Keen.pk3
Path=$PROGDIR/MD/ADD/Shades of Doom/3SoD_SS.pk3
Path=$PROGDIR/MD/ADD/Shades of Doom/4SoD_Gore.pk3
Path=$PROGDIR/MD/ADD/Shades of Doom/5SoDStlth.pk3
Re: Shades of Doom v3.0 - Off the chart (02/02/20)
Sure. That's an easy fix. I'll do that for the next release.Spaceman333 wrote:Could you rename the files so that they'd have a number as their first character in their filenames?
