Avarice Coins (mini mod)

[HorrorMovieRei]

Even while working through burnout, I decided that I had to just push this one idea out the door

Avarice Coins is an universal mod that makes monsters drop shiny, big coins upon death. Collecting them will stimulate your lizard brain and more importantly increase your score, which can be displayed at the top of the screen if you're playing vanilla, or the mod you're playing doesn't have a score tally.

If you want to adapt this mod to work with yours, you are free to do so, I just ask that you include the credits. Other than that, it is very simple to edit:

---

Just go to the pickup state of the treasure items in Actors/Money.zsc and replace the following:

Code: Select all

Pickup:
    TNT1 A 0
	{
	A_GiveInventory("ScoreItem",10); <------- replace "ScoreItem" so it is your own money actor instead!
	A_StartSound("Coin/Collect",6,CHANF_LOCAL,0.25);
	}
    stop;

This is a deceptively simple mini-mod that can serve as a good basis for arcade-based gameplay mods ! Just had an idea for a weapon mod to go along with that Smash Bros randomizer, I may just add your system to it

Good job, and sending all the good vibes I can for that burnout of yours

Consider getting a fist bump from me too (since i still need to be vaccinated).
Working with the mind full of things is a nightmare, hence why my ryhthm also decreased. I loved this mini mod.

Take care of yourself pal.

[YukesVonFaust]

oh, yes. just what i need. thank you for this!

Nice minimod!

FreeDoom coins along with Rupees and Doge Coin... Wonder how they all got along together?

Now the gameplay is extra arcade-y. I really love the smooth animation of them coins rotating and it's indeed satisfying to collect them all. But wish i could spend all them dosh somehow!

I am a sucker for Arcade gameplay and chasing numbers and high scores. You have me sold.

[Mironicurse]

Omg it's like Doom Chips mode. You will just want more and more with each one.

this mod reminds me of a game NINJA (psx1) and opening treasure chests and collecting coins, its very fun aspect of gameing

Yeah and one too often forgotten today. I think AAA company underestimates the "cool" effect of grabbing tons of minor pickups like that with a pleasing sound effect, visuals and stuff like that. Sure it wouldn't work well for a story heavy game, but something like Gears of War Horde Mode ? I don't think most players would mind some semi-arcadey pickups in there !

A satisfying universal sort of "score" mod, collecting shiny stuff is always great.

The only problem I think I have with this is that collecting coins is kind of quiet? The sound feels much quieter than any other sound in the game, and sometimes it makes me not realize I picked up a coin.

I can probably fix this myself, I just figured I'd put it out there!

this is gonna trigger my collectivization reflexes and make my jump down ravines and pits just to grab some shiny nickels.

Surprisingly, the mod is very unoptimized, albeit small. If the game spawns a lot of coins for one reason or another, it starts very strong lags.
And I learned this by accident, playing with L$D mod. There is a mob called "salamander", one of the attacks of which generates these very coins with enormous speed.

This is so cool. I especially like how it feels like a typical arcade game where coins and gems spill out for score.
