The Beast 2010

Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.

Why isn't my entry added in the first post? Everyone else has their name and entry there.

Because Mancubus has been having major computer issues and there are a few he hadn't gotten around to adding. On Thursday, I'll pick through the threads and collect the entries (and PM authors if there are dead links), so the list itself doesn't mean much.

I see there is another one this year as well. Am I allowed to submit a monster that also requires and edited playerpawn - even when everything is in decorate and in 1 package? If Not, then I guess the Hierophant will be out of the question. :/

As horrible as it may sound, why not submit a "lite" version without the curse ability? Technically speaking, there's nothing stopping you from commenting out the code and including the modified playerclass somewhere as an optional but inactive-by-default add-on, even.

Actually, yes. Recently, Torm, Dreadopp and I added a rule concerning edited players and monsters to allow things like pain state effects (and IGPack's Prox Launcher :P). Here's the rule thread http://www.realm667.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3 (the "Custom pain and death states" rule).

You can download the aforementioned Prox Launcher (Armory) or the Hand of the Wraith (Item Store) for a good example.

Also, damn, and here I thought I had a good chance to get 1st place this year. :P

Here is the DL link to the Hierophant: http://files.drdteam.org/index.php/file ... /hiero.zip

I've tested the file and it will work, including the curses. However, since this is the first version, it's subject to change.

GLDEFs: none
Sounds: Id Software, Eriance

Sprite Edit: none

Oh yeah, for those that haven't figured out what the purpled fireball does, it's the curse. If your screen is red, you take double damage. If it's blue, you weapons gets 50% damage taken off. If Yellow, your speed drops by 50%. Each lasts 10 seconds.

I was able to submit the blood lich (and it was accepted), which also uses the curse (just double damage though), and the only reason why I didn't submit it to this contest was because I had already submitted it there.

File has been updated with the first set of balances.

-Fixed Spiral Problem (for the most part).
-Lowered damage for fireball and spiral attack to match that of other DE mid bosses.
-Curse missile now seeks much more aggressively.
