[Gameplay] Harder Monsters!
Hello hello, Lazorical AKA Lazor999 here.
I've been messing around with zscript and thanks to the help of 3 people, i made a 13KB mod that has a really cool feature, IMO.
Features:
-Monster health multiplies everytime you enter a new level! It starts with *1.1 in map 1, but increments by .1 each level! So at map 30, secret levels included, you'd have monsters with health multiplied by 4.2 or 4.3. Can't remember.
-Finally beat map30? You'll be sent back to level 1, just to start the whole megawad again! see how far you can get!
-Some new difficulty levels that either buff some baddies, or turn everything into zombies.
I hope you have fun playing, and suggestions are always allowed(I'll take them into consideration)! I'll take them into consideration. The only thing i won't be adding is custom monsters/guns. I want this to be compatible with other mods and megawads.

V1-1 is here, adding 2 custom keybinds to toggle a menu, that displays how much maps you've completed so far!
Fixed a small thing where it said "Soul statistics", which is from another mod of mine. Whoops.

Re: [Gameplay] Harder Monsters!
Did a quick update adding a menu, showing how much maps you've completed. Toggle it with keybinds bound in the options!

Re: [Gameplay] Harder Monsters!
does it work with Changemap command?
I mean you warp from map 01 to map 30 will the monsters have health multiplied accordingly?
(12in1 Survival Mappack will become very interesting with this)

Re: [Gameplay] Harder Monsters!
No. The reason why is that i'd have to change it for *every* map, and instead, i only made it so when you load in on whatever level, the multiplier applies AND is increased by 0.1.Machine-Reaper wrote:does it work with Changemap command?

If you were to warp from map1 to map30 in a NEW playthrough, the monsters would have health multiplied by 1.2, because it just, well, works that way.
Another thing is that this really only works with megawads that are 32 levels long, since i made it so whenever you reach level 30, you go back to 1. I don't know a way to detect the last map of the pack myself, so it's just gonna be like that.

When you finish map 30, you'll be warped back to map 1 with everything.

Re: [Gameplay] Harder Monsters!
Posted a version without skill settings or hud if you want to play this with other mods. It just adds a mapinfo lump, and an event handler. So, it should be compatible with pretty much anything you want it to be compatible with!
Tell me if something doesn't work and i'll try to fix it.
