Thanks! I can't believe I missed that.

Regarding this issue, it also happens with Doom 64: Retribution. I don't know what's special about their titlemap, but it seems like the "global" variable in CCards_Observer is uninitialized when GetMonster() gets called. That means that WorldThingSpawned is getting called before WorldLoaded, which is strange.

Here is the log:

Code: Select all

Here's version 3.4. I've decided to change how Wild Cards spawn. I was never fully satisfied with it (and may change it yet again in the future) as from what I was getting from feedback and watching streams. Players either never got to witness them due to not wanting to 100% kills and secrets on several maps, or were hardcore completionists who got to see the same Wild Cards over and over every run due to always obtaining them. Finding a good middle ground with the UVMax unlocking method was difficult.

The new method of finding Wild Cards is simpler. Wild Cards will be hidden inside levels after completing a few maps. You are no longer notified when this happens, but those with a keen eye will be able to spot where they're hiding ;)
  • Wild Cards method of spawning changed. Keep an eye out for unusual secrets!
  • Fixed most of Heretic monsters (and other custom monsters) not being able to generate projectile related cards.
  • Fixed CCARDs lumps not stacking correctly and creating multiple Modified decks.
  • Fixed a crash with game setup regarding monsters.
  • Sealed Guardians is now tier 2 (from 4).
  • Angry Bones ai tweaked slightly.
  • Wildcard event monsters can no longer be morphed.
  • Hand of Baphomet boss now takes extra damage in Doom1 to account for the lack of SSG (and awful ammo placement in E3M8).
  • Added an option to continue to the next episode (or restart at map01) with current cards when an episode completion is detected (does not work in multiplayer, can be disabled).
  • Added 1 new Wild Card.

I'm playing version 3.2, but I'll report this in case it hasn't been fixed since.
The game crashed to console with a message about reading address zero at /cards/monsterbuffs.zscript line 1963, called from line 1910 (both are from cannibalism card). I was fighting a pack of arch-vile variants with no other monsters or corpses nearby. I had no cannibalism cards, but I had vile rebirth, a few Casali's watchers cacos elsewhere on the map, and Lilith's grace.

Sorta not practical as so many maps have their own ways of setting up monster ambushes. If you could give the the map number and roughly point out when it happens I could take a look to see what I can do.
(sorry, didn't realize you responded)
It was Lost Civilization map 14, triggered when I pick up the blue card.

hey cutmanmike,
would it be possible to add the "modified" deck option as a separate choice so to be able to use the CCARDS lump for things like "new friends" or "science experiment" or whatever the other deck options are?

A quick question with the Wild Cards:
Are the received wild cards affected by what deck type you select when starting a new game? Or are they completely random?
Also, it might be a good idea to let the player choose HOW the wild cards spawn (Traditionally [In secrets,] complete random, or something else.)

I would like to comment a few ideas/improvements/bugs:

- I see that you designed the mod having in mind that each card only lasts one level, except if you make a custom deck.
In my case, I like more to play with permanent cards, which then makes it a problem to tests different cards as with largemegawads you get too many stacked cards. There I propose to add two more modes (at least for custom deck):
1) At the start of the campaign, allow the user to select as many cards as he wants (from the unlocked cards). All these cards will be permanent. Then, from level 1 till the end, all cards will last only one level
2) Same as 1) but all new selected cards on each level will be also permanent.

There are cards which I really like and that I would like to have from the start. For instance, my list will be:
- Nuclear curse
- Death impact
- Earthquake
- Revise strategy
- Teleport traps (when mixed with the previous two cards it is total mayhem)

- If possible, it would be nice that even in any mode with corruption cards, at the end of the level (or before you select a card in the next level), allow the user to decide that a card which was only for one level to make it permanent. Adding this step may become annoying for some players, so maybe adding it as an option in the corruption card configuration can be a good idea.

- The card "Grace of Lilith", I don't know if it is a bug or it is intended, but the card texture is corrupted and also its text (I can send an screenshot).

- There is a card (I don't remember the name) that causes that when the enemy cursed with the card dies, it turns nearby floors toxic. I tried once in MAP08: Tricks and Traps, and it turned all floors in the level toxic, making the level unplayable. I think the effect should be applied a small area around the position where the enemy was killed.

Anyway, thanks for the amazing mod!

I believe you can give yourself starter cards using the CCARDS lump somehow? might have to check the first page.

--EDIT--
sorry, it's not in the CCARDS lump, but i think you just give them to yourself somehow.. it's not listed in that documentation.

Pretty sure you could fix that with the CCARDS lump. taking a peak in there, there is already a rule related to it:

Code: Select all

excludemap HUBMAP
to make it ignore that mapname (think its used in Compendium, for example)
since CCARDS lumps stack, you could make a simple patch to include compatibility for the set you want, and you can include the necessary map names for as many mapsets as you want :)

It might be a good idea to spawn regular explosive barrels in case they are replaced. Going through ZBlood with HDest, it's kind of impossible to tell which barrels are normal and which are from CCards. Without relying on dynamic lights, that is. Which is something people may play without. I suppose I could also change it locally in the code. Thought I'd throw this out here just in case.

Petrified monsters also seem to slide around a lot, as if the ground had no friction at all. Particularly if they die while moving.

found a really odd bug last night with what i can only assume is the shout for reinforcements card.
we had 3 different variants of that card and monsters were just randomly spawning all over the map as the level went on.
the most noticeable thing was that there were multiples of the same variant of each creature in different parts of the map.
if i had to guess, the shout is spawning duplicates on the corpses of enemies who had previously shouted or something.

Maybe I don't understand something or being extremely unlucky but game never offers me "unfinished business" card. I play on custom preset with normal deck.
