Thank you so much for using my map! I'll be taking a look at the tournament in a few hours, good stuff anyways. The laziness / motivationlessness (is that even a word?) has been very strong in a lot of us lately, I guess. I got a feeling the white Cyberdemon or white Mancubus are gonna be some of the top players here.

Also I know Hege Cactus might be very busy at the moment but I'm still hyped to see this mod finished some day, no matter how long it takes.


In case anyone's interested in this test map, I made a seperate thread for it:

Am i the only one seeing that the current download link does not work?
Saying this because someone else noticed first before i checked.

EX Bosses are even stronger versions of Black/White enemies. They’re basically on the level of Cheap MUGEN characters or bosses in fangames of indie RPGs to give you an idea. If you see an additional message appear at the top of your screen about a “chill running down your spine,” you better be ready. They’re sick and the only cure is PillowBlaster.

More or less as he says, some of the black/white tier enemies can occasionally come in a nastier variant, that's what they are and that's what the setting controls. For example the black zombieguy is "Player 9" who is fairly tough with rockets and plasma, but his EX variant is "Player X" and uses a BFG. Amusingly but also terrifyingly, the EX White Shotgunner is just the normal version except fighting seriously, as if he already wasn't one of the worst.

YES! THE LEGENDARY CACTUS IS BACK WITH A BRAND NEW CRACKED ENEMY! :D :D :D

I've always wanted to say that Colourful Hell has been probably the most inspiring Doom mod to be, to the point where I've made mods with it, and even made my own shameless knockoffs, to which I might share one day. I don't know what it is with me and monster randomizers and colors, but I'm somehow fascinated with the idea, and this mod has had a wild influence on me, and I'm very thankful for everything that has been put together so far.

With that said, I tested White Mind out today, and here are my thoughts.

Yes, white mind was actually bit rushed, my apologies
it will later have a stage 2 on the 1.0 version

So, here's a fix patch
download

Fixed the death state and sounds, and fixed the proper sentinels

After horsing around a bit more with this mod, there are a few things I'd like to point out.

1. Some bugs I've seen go under the radar; Brown Arachno and Brown Mind completely bypass the check for if browns are enabled. The random spawners spawn "BrownSP2" instead of "BrownSP1", and "BrownMind2" instead of "BrownMind".

2. WhiteSG still screws up the kill count. The culprit is "ShotgunPunishNerf" and "ShotgunPunishNerf2" counting as kills for some reason, before they say "Aight I'm out".
I do have a question for WhiteSG as well. The reason he's always been so tough is because not only does he have 5000 HP, but he takes half damage from all regular damage types, effectively making him have 10000 HP! Is this intentional?

3. I like the idea of the Color Tier Icons, but the execution wasn't as good as it could've been. I've tried out my own take on Color Tier Icons as shown below.



The icons now float above the enemy heads at all times, and they're also standard numbers instead of roman numerals.

Pros :
Easier to indentify tiers.
Less actors on map, increasing performance.
YellowCaco and YellowSP1 are no longer drowning in a sea of icons.
Monster code becomes much cleaner.

Cons :
Tall monsters require modified actors of original icon actors to be above their heads. If the same actor is used for a taller enemy, the icon will be inside their head, or lower down, sorta like RedBaron above.

Bonus :
Spoiler:
I ain't quitting this mod until it's to 100% completion. Best of luck to you.

1. I thought I fixed that one since I fixed it earlier on, guess that fix didnt get to the final version.

2. Will try to fix

3. this was what I originally planned to do, but the con listed is why I had trouble with it


This brown monster mishap could actually justify another hot fix update to fix it, so might do just do that when I get a moment

I noticed skimming through the thread out of curiosity that there was mention of the DRLA assault minigun sprites having conflicts with the Abyss Mastermind actor sprites loosely mentioned here. Sure enough, it appears this version still has this issue. In the meantime, I edited the PK3 locally and changed all sprite names from AMIN to BMIN and reflected it inside AbyssMind2's decorate. Leaving this here so Hege can see this.
