@BlueShadow:
Yup, that is intentional. Since the power up are split into tiers, there are actually two spots in each of the map sections for them to spawn into. I didn't want a player to go thru playing the map and get to one of those secrets and find no item for them to get, because they didn't spawn them at the start.
As for the patch, feel free to report whatever you find. The two Arcknights screwing up the secret count is the only thing I'm aware of besides some texture and level height inconsistencies that I've already fixed. I actually wasn't planning to release a 1.11 patch at all, and just wait until Episode 2's demo is ready to release it. There's still a lot of extra assets I need to make HF 1.xx compatible with 2.xx:
-Monsters all need a poison-death where their bodies melt. This is so they can't be raised by ressing monsters as a part of the poison-weapon mechanic.
-Both player sprite sets need a corresponding crouch-sprite set which was neglected for 1.10. I held off since it's unlikely anyone will play DM or Coop with this mod.
-Vorpal blade needs a new alternate normal attack animation where it swings from the other side, and a two-handed vertical swing downwards for the powered-attack.
--------------------------
@Kneight:
EDIT: The monster was missing a tag, so it was never awakened by script when it needed to be. Thanks again for reporting.

Alright, it's been a while. are there any changes to the weapons or do I not need to worry about that anymore for my addons?

I've changed the Basilisk powered-up mode to reduce lag when there are many monsters around. That's about it. But I haven't released any patches yet, and probably won't bother until HF2 is out for alpha-test.HyperExia wrote:Alright, it's been a while. are there any changes to the weapons or do I not need to worry about that anymore for my addons?

Re: Hell-Forged - Please fill out poll on opening post.
Finished the game yesterday (second playthrough). It was a fun experience, even if I'm not a huge fan of maps that take a long time to complete. I like the weapons in general, though I didn't find myself using the Mauler often. The Nailgun, which is my go-to weapon, seems adequate enough, and doesn't eat ammo as quickly as the Mauler.

Re: Hell-Forged - Please fill out poll on opening post.
Sweet thanks again for the testing!
All issues that I can fix map-side has been fixed. Did you manage to get to Super-Secret Shark map (HF1M0)?
Fixed the Infernal issue. Didn't know DONTHURTSPECIES was renamed to something else and didn't apply to explosions. Added DONTHARMCLASS and DOHARMSPECIES to both the Cacodemon and Infernal, should allow them to infight while not hurt their own kind; if I'm understanding the flag wiki page correctly.
It is intentional for the Soultaker to keep its charge while deselected. I might make it so it drops to the next lowest charge breakpoint if its too exploitable.
Not much I can do for the Hellsmith. I was hoping there would be a charging function that only charges towards a target's X and Y coordinates, and not the Z, keeping it on the ground. But afaik, there isn't.

Yeah, there's [wiki=A_MinotaurDecide]the Maulotaur's[/wiki] but it's extremely specific to Maulotaur behavior. I suppose a custom one could be written in ZScript.Amuscaria wrote:Not much I can do for the Hellsmith.

Re: Hell-Forged - Please fill out poll on opening post.
Is the Maulotaur one open to ZScript or it hardcoded? I guess I could just copy it and edit it a bit to make it work for the Hellsmith.Gez wrote:Yeah, there's [wiki=A_MinotaurDecide]the Maulotaur's[/wiki] but it's extremely specific to Maulotaur behavior.

None of the changes I've made after the 1.10 Hotfix has been been released, no.HyperExia wrote:So I'm going to assume that this change is not released then?Amuscaria wrote:I've changed the Basilisk powered-up mode to reduce lag when there are many monsters around.

I did! And that easter egg thingy... very cool.Amuscaria wrote:Did you manage to get to Super-Secret Shark map (HF1M0)?
Regarding the Hellsmith getting stuck, you could try the [wiki=Actor_flags#DROPOFF]DROPOFF[/wiki] flag, which is also used by the Maulotaur, before resorting to ZScript.

To be fair we'd still download the current version of HF and wait for a bugfix while playing it but i'm sure it's gonna be a quick one.OP said wrote:Spoiler: NOTICE

Re: Hell-Forged - Please fill out poll on opening post.
Oh Sorry. I must have accidentally deleted it when my OP ran out of spoiler tags and I had to delete one of them. The link is near the top. It's still the old slightly bugged version. You'll have to make the fixes yourself or wait for the next update.osjclatchford wrote:where is the dl link...

Oh, thanks guys...
I just thought I'd gone off my crust completely for a moment.
I spent ten minutes looking up and down and even refreshed my browser a few times.
I thought it had been filtered out by some such unknown factor or something and had a little panic! LOL
but, yeah, glad its not just me!
