[5.5] Corruption Cards - 200+ Gameplay warping cards!

[Cutmanmike]

Even with monsterhealth = 1.0 in mapinfo Blood shift tends to not work right, or at least that's my assumption. Imps were incredibly hard to kill. Here's a picture of my active cards at the time.

I've been trying this with Pandemonia and it seems like the health swapping is working ok to me? I tried with a 1.0 scale and a 5.0 scale and the numbers seemed to make sense to me.



Remember an imp could suddenly have the health of a high tier monster with lots of health. Could that not have happened? Whether that's fun or not is up for debate, as I hate seeing this card show up personally I might just scrap it for something else later.

I've made it so if debug logging is enabled you can see the effects of the card like in the screenshot above.

I guess you had to be there. The small imps resembled barons. It might have had something to do with them healing each other on death.

Sorry if that has been answered before, but why do the monsters on the current room often get deleted/killed after selecting cards? is that a bug? (Using BD 21.0.4 and mods)

See the BD patch on the first page, hopefully still works.

I just tried it. Doesn't make a difference. Not sure if it has to do with anything but his file is called "CCards_DoxsPersonalizedBrutalDoomfix.wad" I'm using Brutal Doom 21 Gold not his personalized version (which is somewhat equivalent to BD21 Platinum. He doesn't support it anymore AFAIK)

I extracted the file with SLADE and it just has a .dat file in it with

dontfreeze RifleZombie
dontfreeze PistolZombie
dontfreeze PistolZombieHelmet
dontfreeze HelmetRifleZombie
dontfreeze HeadlessZombie
dontfreeze Imp

Any ideas?

[Rowsol]

Yeah, try adding the monsters that are disappearing to the ccards lump like that as that appears to fix the issue.

Recently, the 1st release candidate of the Elementalism megawad was released, and while Corruption Cards is compatible with that mapset; I think I found a problem:
Currently, Elementalism is composed of about 17 maps total - 3 episodes consisting of 5 maps each; a title map & a hub. after beating an episode; 2 things happen:
- Player inventory gets reset (depending on settings in the mapset's config menu)
- Hub map updates to reflect episode completion
For a reason that's unknown to me; the "Surprise Cyberdemon" card treats the hub as a regular map, leading to a situation where a cyberdemon spawns in the hub and there's almost no way to deal with him.
I also noticed that "Living Vessel" card can crash GZDoom with a SIGSEV, but I've run into this crash only once.

Other than these 2 problems, Corruption Cards is an excellent mod that anyone should load alongside the main game

Ah yea. Totally forgot that I use additional monsters. Thanks!



Edit:

Still doesn't work for me. I edited the file in SLADE and saved it. Now it contains all my additional monsters I use:

dontfreeze RifleZombie
dontfreeze PistolZombie
dontfreeze PistolZombieHelmet
dontfreeze HelmetRifleZombie
dontfreeze HeadlessZombie
dontfreeze Imp
dontfreeze ZombieMan
dontfreeze ShotgunGuy1
dontfreeze ShotgunGuy
dontfreeze Plasma
dontfreeze MinigunGuy
dontfreeze ChainsawZombie
dontfreeze PyroSergeant
dontfreeze RocketGuy
dontfreeze ShotgunSpawner
dontfreeze RiotShieldGuy
dontfreeze NetherDarkImp
dontfreeze VoidDarkImp
dontfreeze NamiDarkImp
dontfreeze CommonDarkImp
dontfreeze Aracnorb
dontfreeze CrackoDemon
dontfreeze Terminator
dontfreeze Bruiser
dontfreeze CyberBaron
dontfreeze PyroDemon
dontfreeze BruiserDemon
dontfreeze XVStealth
dontfreeze ZSpecOps
dontfreeze Major
dontfreeze RifleCommando
dontfreeze BloodDemon

When entering e1m1 and e1m2 the riflemans still get deleted from the map and I only see their weapon drops. Is there something that I'm missing?

I have to load the CCards_DoxsPersonalizedBrutalDoomfix file just after CorruptionCards-v3.2.pk3 right?

loadorder

brutalv21
CorruptionCards-v3.2
CCards_DoxsPersonalizedBrutalDoomfix
bd21_xvme1.3.0

brutalv21
CorruptionCards-v3.2
CCards_DoxsPersonalizedBrutalDoomfix
bd21_xvme1.3.0
bd21_xvme1.3.0_respawner

it seems like the bottom 2 things should be before corruption cards, if they are brutal doom related.

Okay I changed load order and still no change. Even removed the xvme stuff for a try. Is there someone who got it to work with CCards 3.2, or are we just speculating that it should work?

i don't think the patch works currently. your best bet is to just play with a different mod or no mod for now.

[eviltechno]

It even doesn't work with the 3.0 stable version or 3.1, so I don't know what's going on, or why it's even on the front page. I also tried dox personalized brutal doom 21. Anyways thanks for your help.

Very nice changelog!

[eviltechno]

Thanks for the update. This must be a lot of work.

I hoped the fix for the lumps (as in the 3.3 changelog) would be what I needed for my brutal doom problem, but the riflezombies still disappear. Maybe I'm really doing it wrong. (i downloaded version CC 3.0 for a try, as that was the version around when the BD fix was uploaded. Brutal doom 21 was not officially updated in almost 3 years and I even tried on older release candidate. So kinda strange.)

Guess I need to wait with this mod until I drop brutal doom and play vanilla again.

The patch still works with brutal doom but bd21_xvme1.3.0 is adding or changing some of the monsters that also need the dontfreeze treatment. If you look at a monster and type "info" on the console you'll see their actor name.



So you'll need to edit the patch to include "dontfreeze PistolZombiePatch" along with any other actors that behave this way.

I've compiled a new version to fix a few annoying bugs:

• Fixed a crash with Mega Deathmatch.
• Fixed the Card Compendium not showing newly added cards.
• Fixed Mystery Eggs only spawning extra special things.
• Fixed certain resurrection cards appearing when no monsters can be resurrected (i.e have no Raise state).
• Fixed Casali's watchers ONLY appearing on special maps (instead of not-appearing on them).
