[WIP] Forced Combat

Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.
Forum rules
The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

Please read the full rules for more details.

[WIP] Forced Combat

Post by ChronoSeth »

===============================
====FORCED COMBAT=====
===============================
This is more of a proof of concept than anything...

In this mutator mod, you must kill enemies to gain health. That doesn't sound too bad until you find out that there are no health pickups anywhere and your health is quickly withering away the whole time. Oh yeah, everything also hurts more. Your only real asset is that there's armor everywhere.

Screenshots wouldn't really show much at this point, and neither would a video, so here's the download link:

Sounds like a cool challenge, bit like Vampire mode from TimeSplitters. :)

Flamethrower is overpowered.Given it can hurt more enemies,make it so it's base damage is lower than the plasma's.Also,shotgun single shot is overpowered.

Shotgun slugs should have the exact same damage formula as the normal pellet shot. Unlike the pellets, it can't go "through" enemies. I will admit that I forgot to force the spread on the first shot... :roll: Are you by any chance going by the fact that it instagibs former humans and shotgun guys? :P Try attacking a higher-level monster with it.

Yes, the flamethrower is overpowered, despite the fact that you can easily kill yourself with it. I'm planning on fixing this in the next beta.

Looks like when your HP reaches 9999 you become immortal.

No, it's just a limit on the HUD so the health number doesn't overlap your ammo count. Your health can actually go up into infinity.
