Also that's because it doesn't check for x amount of y to die, just for a y to die when it is the last one alive.
I figured it worked because it just did a tail-end check on the Mancs, so I'm happy it works, I just wish it spawned e'm anyway. Other testing says that they spawn just fine outside of Map07's platforms, so that's confuzzling.
But yeah, Legions of Noobs is getting revamped entirely, meaning the compatibility patches will get re-done and recalculated as well, so it's ACTUALLY balanced. Redoing how Legions works will allow me to reduce and reassess the ammo counts for different pickups, so I can reassert the need to use the right weapon on the right target, which is a central concept in the manual and in my vision for Doomvengers. That'll just require grunt work testing in various map sets.
Then I'll be doing a compat patch to make Doomvengers run with Chex Quest 3 because my love of gaming is due solely and entirely to Chex Quest. Rockets will come out as slimeballs and all, so it'll be bizarre, but it'll function.
I'm going to be continuing work on Villains, which has become much sexier since DavidPH tested it in a video of his. I'm getting reasonably close to wanting some internal testers to make sure it doesn't do anything monumentally screwy. The bosses may be unreasonably, horrifyingly difficult, so I'll have to test them plenty more and ensure that it's possible to survive them the first time you meet them.
I'll definitely need people to help me iron out some constant issues which are included at the end of my changelog, so pay attention to that if you don't mind next time I update.
So yeah big things coming. Once Villains is feature complete (which'll still be a hunk of work), I can get working in earnest on the next module. I'm not developing on this excessively as I used to because I have a life and a girlfriend and such, but things are happening.
