[v1.8.2]
- Fixed: Debug leftovers in the armor regeneration script. Thanks go to Spaceman333 for pointing it out!

[v1.8.1]
- Fixed: Changed default value of Save Percent to 33 when reset using the Reset to Defaults command.
- Fixed: Some issues with other values getting set to weird numbers on resetting to defaults due to GDCC compilation and '#pragma fixed on'.

[v1.8]
- Internal script changes:
+ Fixed indents. Script is now a lot more pleasant to look at.
+Compiled with GDCC.
- Fixed a bug where launching the mod for the first time did not set the Start Item/Health Type to a default value, leaving the option as "Unknown" if not changed.
- Fixed a bug where health/armor regeneration could bump the value above the cap.
- Fixed a lot of descriptions.
- Fixed issue where you could kill yourself if you set health degeneration limit to 0.
- Improved regeneration caps. Zero now means unlimited.
- Added zero-termination to a lot of modifiers.
- Added monster manipulation:
+ Health (experimental, not guaranteed to work flawlessly)
+ Speed
- Added starting armor.
+ Added option to choose SavePercent for starting armor.
- Added a manual menu.

[v.1.7.1]
- Added starting health option.
- Added option to toggle whether you start with the specified health every level or once per game. If used in DM, the "Per level/respawn" option is recommended!
- Added randomization options for the above feature.
- Cleaned up MENUDEF.

[v.1.7]
- Added descriptions to the kill and reset commands in the main menu.
- Edited the menu colors. Again. This time it's gonna stay white.
- Added randomization menu. What it does is take two values and shift between them. Changes apply after current randomization!
- Added an option to choose between the following notificaitons: None, Simple text, Picture.
- Added optional notification sound when randomization has occurred.
- Added volume slider for the notification.
- Added optional timer that shows how much time is left until next randomization.

[v1.6.2]
- Added "Kill Player" button in cases where there is a barrel death exit on the map and you're too beefed up on health/armor to die.
- Added colours to the descriptions and section titles. It is now easier to distinguish the separate options.
- Added a bindable key to open the config menu, for all the people who don't know how to operate the console.

[v1.6.1]
- Fixed armor regen cap not working.

[v1.6]
- Script updates.
- Added armor and health degeneration.
- Added cap config to health regeneration.
- Completely redesigned and rearranged the menu.
- Added "Reset to defaults" button.
- Added toggleable heartbeat sound effect for health regen.
- Added toggleable shard sound effect for ammo regen.
- Added friction control multiplier. It's a slider because even the slightest change has big impact so there's no use in having custom input for that one.
NOTE: Max health will now change immeditely instead of at the start of the next level.

[v1.5]
- Renamed spawn/start health to max health because I made a mistake. Spawn health is actually the maximum health the player can have.
- Updated and cleaned some script descriptions to clarify more.
- Edited some CVAR names. Not much, though.
- Cleaned up MENUDEF entries. No need for every description to have the word "Changes" unless it's necessary.
- Changed behaviour of once-per-level scripts. Changes will now be applied within one second. I remembered that they need to be in a loop, else multiplayer will not work properly.
- Added armor regeneration options. Many thanks to Zhs2 for the idea!
NOTE I: The default armor cap is set to 100. If you want to have ridiculous amounts of armor, set it to something higher. Together with the Health Regen & Max Health combo, it can make your game a lot funkier.
NOTE II: Setting the max health to 0 will not revert it to the default value until the start of the next level.

[v1.4.4]
- Fixed a few typos in the scripts and optimised them.
- Added option to change max health. It works flawlessly with health regeneration.
NOTE: Requires level restart or level progression! Using a value of 0 prevents changing in case you want to stay with vanilla values and have a mod that modifies max health.

[v1.4.3]
- Added option to pick which powerups you want permanent.

[v1.4.2]
- Fixed air control multiplier not working because CVAR was integer. Changed to float - worked.

[v1.4.1]
- Added an option to toggle advanced player options on or off. Disabled by default.
NOTE: If you disable these options while using values different from default, the effects will not revert back to original! Change to default values and exit menu to apply changes before you disable the options!

[v1.4]
- Fixed a typo in a script name.
- Redesigned the menu a bit by adding 2 more submenus and moving some of the options to them.
- Shortened some menu options.
- Edited some descriptions.
- Changed script name to avoid Strife issues with SCRIPTxx lumps.
- Added some more comments to the scripts.
- Added air control multiplier. Default is 1, though anything under 30 will hardly have any visible effect. Use large values for better results..
- Added permanent power-ups option. Kind of experimental.
NOTE: Power-ups with the +ADDITIVETIME flag will become nearly infinite, even if you turn off the option. Until you finish the level, that is...

[v1.3.3]
- Added jump multiplier option.

[v1.3.2]
- Improved CVAR readability by adding underscores where appropriate. This will not remove old CVARs in console auto-completion! You have to reset your ini for that to happen.
- Did some script rearrangements and commenting that are invisible to the end-user. They are hardly even noticeable by the modders too, but I couldn't resist doing it.
- Added option to toggle backpack requirement for ammo regeneration.
- Added support for Hexen, Heretic, and Strife to the above option.
- Added intensity slider for blend colours.

[v1.3.1]
- Fixed regeneration in multiplayer. Now players continue to regenerate after respawning.
- Fixed regeneration pulse when dead. Screen should no longer flash.

[v1.3]
- Implemented the custom ìnput option for Weapon Damage, Player Damage Taken, and Player Speed. Fixed point values are supported, meaning that 1.43148 is legal. I no longer have to update with requested custom values.

[v1.2]
- Added RGB sliders for custom blend colours.
- Redesigned the regeneration options by replacing the sliders with custom input values. You can now type in the exact amount you want. (Only integers are supported.)
- Fixed health regeneration conflict with mods that alter the player's max health.
- Reduced change update time to 1 second. Was 3.

[v1.1.3]
- Expanded upon the damage options: added x4.0, x5.0, x7.0, x10.0 for both Weapon Damage and Player Damage Taken.

[v1.1.2]
- Expanded upon the damage options: added x2.5 for Weapon Damage, and x2.0, x2.5 for Player Damage Taken.
- Removed some of the multiplier descriptions. Takes space, doesn't clarify anything, and I'm also out of words to think of to put there.

[v1.1.1]
- Expanded upon the damage options: added x0.25, x0.75 for both Weapon Damage and Player Damage Taken.

[v1.1]
- Added default keybind <o> for menu. If it does not work, check if something else is bound to that key. If it is, unbind and restart. At this point I will not add a controls menu entry to keep compatibility to a maximum.
- Added custom health regeneration (toggleable). You can adjust frequency and amount.
- Added toggleable red blend for the regeneration. Although it is non-intrusive, I've decided to add it as a user-enabled effect, just in case.
- Added custom ammo regeneration. Same as health regen with the exception of ammo amount which is absent here.
- Added toggleable blend for ammo regeneration. Same as health regen, only different colour.

Spoiler: F.A.Q. & Extra

---

Q: What's the point of all this?
A: Well, for starters, I've found out that the stock difficulties are Sometimes too damn easy/hard and instead of creating new MAPINFO entries for every single difficulty option, you can change the difficulty dynamically while playing with immediate changes (1 second, actually.). No more restarting and losing all your progress or having to idclev and cheat to catch up.

Q: Why not add submenu instead of a console command?
A: Because adding a visible and clickable menu inside the main menu using MENUDEF screws up royally the other submenus created by other mods such as Brutal Doom, Russian Overkill, Guncaster, etc, and would require of me to make compatiblity patches. Why do all that when I can do better?

Q: Is this mod compatible with other mods?
A: Yes! Yes it is. It changes only a few player properties and doesn't replace actors so it should be compatible with pretty much everything you throw at it. Compatibility is something I take seriously, when possible.

Q: Is this multiplayer compatible?
A: Yes. It is.

Q: Will this mod ever work with Zandronum?
A: Unfortunately, I do not know. Some of the ACS functions and/or parameters are missing so until they're added, the mod will have only partial support. It generally works, with the exception of some features.

Q: Is this mod compatible with Hexen/Heretic/Strife?
A: It is.

Q: Why is X not in the mod?
A: There can be two reasons for that. One is that I may have not thought of it. The other is that ACS may not be flexible enough to allow it at this point.

Q: Why didn't you do X the Y way instead of the ACS way?
A: Compatibility.

Q: My question ain't in here!
A: Then make a post.
==========
Extra notes:
- Almost all CVARs are server-side to ensure balance when playing in multiplayer.
- Blending options' CVARs are client-side.
- Notification options' CVARs are client-side.

Merging the whole mod is not recommended. Such mods should be shipped separately and only loaded optionally at the user's discretion.

Lud wrote:Glad you like it!

I'm currently working on a health regeneration option with custom regen amount and frequency. The regeneration itself is also toggle-able from the menu.

As for the sliders, I thought about it and I initially made it with sliders, but it doesn't seem to give as much information as I thought it would, so I'd rather stick to the string values.

EDIT: I'm not sure about the infighting. The mod changes the player's DamageFactor rather than the damage the monsters do, so basically You take more damage while everything else remains the same as before. Same for the weapon damage. It changes only the player rather than the monsters, which would most likely require either tons of coding, or editing DECORATE which kills all future compatibility without patches.
