Description
Corruption Cards is a gameplay mod for Doom (and others) which presents the player with three random cards each level. These cards effect the gameplay in different ways, some more subtle than others. The effects range from changing monster behavior, adding new mechanics, adding extra hazards and much more! In the standard mode, you will be offered a permanent card every 3 levels. This card will be locked in for the rest of the game, meaning you will have to live with your choice until the game is over! There are now over 50 unique cards, and more are generated as the game is played. Every run you will be offered different cards, which leads to an ever changing gameplay experience... dictated by your card choices!
Corruption Cards works with all sorts of mods, and will even generate custom cards for any new monsters it detects! Give it a try with your favorites to spice up the gameplay and add a little extra challenge

Compatibility Patch Files
These are files for mods I could not fix without altering the code myself, and have to rely on patch wads:
Brutal Doom v21 - Removes Imp and ZombieMan from card generation so these monsters don't die on map start.
What's next?
I will be working on a couple of projects throughout the year, but I plan to do periodic updates to this to add new cards and features. I will be rolling out cards in batches at a time so you don't have to keep downloading the mod to get new content. I put quite a lot of thought into what cards I make for this mod, as I want it to be a fair and fun experience. Having said that though, I already have some fun ideas lined up, so stay tuned
Also keep posting those card ideas! I may just end up using some. I may also crack open a discord server if it gets popular enough.If you've enjoyed what you've played, consider supporting me on my ko-fi page. Thanks

- Improved Inventory Reset card. It now takes away any weapons, invbar items, armor and backpacks and gives you your class base items.
- DEHACKED monsters are no longer replaced, and should function properly. However, extreme DEHACKED modifications will still have issues elsewhere (i.e D4V has a lot of problems).

V5A

- Fixed a crash with the Monster Disguise card.

V7B
- Removed Mystery cards from normal play modes. After looking at feedback and my own personal experience, most players just loaded a save if they picked a terrible card effect. Though I love the sadistic nature of getting screwed by RNG, it's not everyone's cup of tea and not something you always want in your runs. Custom rules can still enable Mystery Cards if desired.

- Fixed earthquakes moving voodoo dolls, which broke some maps.
- Fixed Dodge effect to copy the monster's scale factor and renderstyle.
- Fixed no monster infight card being flagged as stackable.
- Fixed reflective monsters adding monsters to the projectile modifier pool (i.e if a reflective Demon was shot with a plasma ball, a "demons fire triple projectiles" card could be generated).
- Removed Unknown Cards card as it was a bit too mean to get in a hardcore run. Might be back in some form later.
- Removed Broken Armor from pool, as a card exists to give each monster armor breaking properties.
- Removed "Monsters hunt the player in silence" and replaced with individual monster silence cards.
- Player movement improved a little during an earthquake.
- Improved monsters getting suck with additional monster + gang cards.
- Changed how poison corpses work. Now monsters will immediately start spewing poison clouds, but for a short duration instead of forever.
- Improved "Monster starting positions are shuffled".
- Nerfed fast missiles to 1.5 speed instead of 2.0 speed (they can still stack!)
- Added a sort of hacky way to stop Additional Monsters getting stuck and clogging up monster closets.
- Added some new cards.
V8A
- Altered card generation to trim the deck if there too many generic type monster cards (i.e Imps can fly) over regular cards (i.e Earthquake). Generic cards are still favoured if there's a lot of them though.
- Fixed SwitchableDecoration monsters vanishing on map start.
- Fixed a crash with the Paranoia card.
- Fixed some crashes regarding jetpack effects (project brutality crash).
- Made newly spawned monsters from cards attempt to move after being spawned if stuck in another actor.

- Thanks to the above, fixed reflective monsters generating projectile cards even if they don't actually fire projectiles.
- Barrels of Fun card now spawns whatever the Explosive Barrel class is, even if it gets replaced by another mod. The barrel will fail to spawn if it is within 250 units of a teleport destination.
- Flying monsters now get a generic flying effect instead of goofy jetpacks (Jetpacks and Wings still appear on vanilla monsters).
- Added a new card. Try not to get assassinated!
V10A
- Card selection now displays all 3 card effect descriptions on the same screen, so you can see them all without having to scroll though them manually.
- Fixed game selector text spilling over into the card selector in multiplayer.
- Added the optional countdown timer to the options.
- Added a new debugging feature. "ccards_debugselection" will allow you to manually select a card from the entire card pool on the card select screen. Careful, this allows to you choose cards with non-legal conditions!
- Added optional keybinds for selecting card 1, 2 or 3. This is for people who want to program outside forces into picking your cards, such as your twitch.tv viewers
- Barrel spawning no longer attempts to spawn the barrel near monsters, as they were blocking outside monster outside the map.
- Fixed a bug where additional/child monsters were getting stuck inside their parents.
- Fixed a bug that allowed dodging monsters to able to dodge attacks every tic instead of every few seconds.
- Removed "Remove half the maps items" card, as it binary and uninteresting. Also very cruel on more resource light mods. A fun new item related card has been added to replace it.
- Added a few new cards!
V20A
- Added a new type of Generic card that replaces monster projectile attacks with another. Works with custom monsters! (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Removed vanilla monster replacements and vanilla specific cards. The only exception is the Surprise Cyberdemon card, which will check if the Cyberdemon has not been replaced before offering it.

- CCARDS lump supports the "excludemap" word for map codes i.e MAP01. This allows you to add a map code to tell the game to not offer you a card on this map. Useful for hub maps etc.
- CCARDS lump supports the "dontfreeze" word for actors. This allows you to tell the game to not freeze/unfreeze an actor at the start of the game.
- CCARDS lump supports the "excludeactor" word for actors. This allows you to tell the game to not attempt to generate cards for a specific actor. Useful for when modders like to flag props as ISMONSTER for some reason.
- Acid Rain is no longer stackable (it didn't do anything).
- Assassin monsters are now Fast monsters.
- Anti-grav is no longer listed as a buff card.
- 16th spawner card now only spawns monsters found in the map, and also tries to avoid spawning them in walls.

- More cards!
V20B
