Colourful Hell 1.01 fix fix tweak tweak

[wildweasel]

I think I remember reading there was a death.tele option? (or something like that, don't quote me on this)

There is; I used it in ww-terror to account for my powerup-replacing hostages. (They'll auto-rescue themselves if you accidentally telefrag one.)

[Hege Cactus]

Seems like there really is(death.telefrag), so I made a little not so special easteregg on telefragging the red cybie for the next release.
I also removed the silly shockwave after death, it was kinda unfair considering it dropped the loot and then when you went to get it "eyyy get shockwaved"
I'll probably do a new release once I get a few of them black tier enemies done
So far I've only gotten one done, which is a really fun one if you like monty python references.

[Hege Cactus]

you know I probably wouldnt constantly be updating this if I really had something else to do during my days.
but I dont

Version 0.55 up:
-Purple Spidie no longer gets stuck on their minions.
-Slight tweaks to few lesser foes
-Red Spidie's death plosion no longer hurts so much
-Red Cybie no longer makes a shockwave when it dies, that was cheap, I admit it
-Added Black Revenant spawn, none shall pass it
-Added Black Shotgunner Spawn
-Added White Shotgunner spawn, the poor soul who gets this spawn, I am already so, so sorry

you should use this to color your Archviles, it works much better for them.

put this one for a monster as a test:

Code: Select all

Translation "0:255=%[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]:[0.0, 0.5, 0.0]"

and tell me if you like it.

Eyy, thats actually pretty neat!
Tho, I'm not sure if its that good idea for archviles cause it kills the brightness when they attack too it seems, and archviles kinda need to be visible.
However, for other monsters like the mancubi and cacodemons this could look pretty damn sweet.
tho I'm not sure how to make it work completely properly tho without making it too dominant, adding the current test line kinda just makes everything pretty bland monotone

similar to what I had with my Vile variant, I had a blue one, I just put separate flame actors around him when he's using his attack and his death animation I made him explode into different pieces, but I did have an idea of putting a brightmap of his blood so that it would be a different color.

I noticed a few console errors when I loaded the latest version:

Code: Select all

Script warning, "colourfullhell55.pk3:decorate/masterminds" line 856:
Unknown class name '0'
Script warning, "colourfullhell55.pk3:decorate/masterminds" line 856:

Script warning, "colourfullhell55.pk3:decorate/masterminds" line 889:
Unknown class name '0'

Without opening the file, I can tell that this is probably the same mistake you made the last time I cleaned up the file. You used 0 instead of "none" for the pufftype and spawn class on the rail attacks.

So far, I'm liking what I see. This makes the imbalanced weapon mods actually a challenge for once.

Hmmm.. I'll play around with it a bit more and see how it goes, I could try the brightmaps too at some point

Whoops, those should be fixed for this release tho. The railgun has so many parameters it tends to cause so easy confusion.

When the bees attack you there should be a small chance your pain noise gets replaced with Cage's NOT THE BEES AAAHHH A+ dialogue.

[Tapwave]

I really, really want to make a compatibility patch for my strange weapons mod for this (and adjust XP value for higher tier monsters accordingly), but I'd rather wait until you've done all colors for all monsters first.
That way I'll make it in one shot.

[stagefatality]

This looks like a lot of fun!

I'll definitely have to try this out, especially with some OBLIGE maps.
