[6.3b] Corruption Cards - 200+ cards! New Collector mode!

[Captain J]

The curses really don't need to be look visually like a card to make the player look like a card-board

[Rowsol]

The firetrap card is neat. I was playing doom 2 map02 and there were traps every 3 steps. Seems a bit high but it keeps you on your toes.

GZDoom 4.5.0 crashed when choosing "multiple monsters receive random card buffs" in co-op.

Hello again Mike, there is a serious issue about the Monster Gang that I'd like to point out.
I was playing Memento Mori II, map 03. Right at the start there are 3 "cages" with chaingunners inside. For some odd as f**k reason, a full gang of Pinkies spawned in that cage, causing ultra lag and then a GZDoom crash.
I suppose, you should like find a way to make the gang spawn only if there is enough space, maybe?

Were any other cards in play? The game should be able to handle spawning monsters on top of each other, even if they do end up in silly spots like a cage, and definitely shouldn't be able to crash because of it.

[TonynUBares]

Yep, "Imp may try to dodge your attacks" and "Zombiemen are imbued with fire". Though I forgot to say that I was playing with a mod called Pandemonia

[Dan_The_Noob]

whatever happened to the mini-me cards? were they removed entirely or are they just really uncommon with larger numbers of enemy types?

[Rowsol]

They're still there.

Edit: Two One cards idea

---

Damaging trail - Projectiles will have damaging trail. The trail stayed for 1 second. The trail will damage player each 0.5 second. Damage ranging from 1-2 damage
Vacuum trap - Add a vacuum trap to the stage. The trap will vaccum nearby entity (like black hole). Use black hole sprite or the iron lich tornado.

I think playing this mod with strife is a delicate matter. I think I should group monster to each type. Also barrel spawn card is spawning invisible barrel in strife.

Edit: Can you add rocketter card with no fall damage. An ettin in hexen got that card, fall down and died.
Is it just me or the new card of 'add monster' deck never spawn? Need specific requirements? (I know the >10)

I'm a bit surprised there is no 'surprise cyberdemon' in hexen or heretic. This is my idea;
Hexen: Heresiarch
Heretic: Maulotaur / Iron Lich
Strife (if not yet): Inquisitor

For the Key guardian;
Hexen: Wraiths and Slaughterers
Heretic: Undead skeleton and disciple
Strife: Maybe not.

After seeing the mirror world curse, i started wondering what if there was one that flips movement?

Left becomes right

Right becomes left

Forward become backwards

Backwards becomes forward

And if available

Jump becomes crouch

Crouch becomes jump

Had to fix a couple of big issues. Please redownload if you have 1.8!

• Fixed a crash with "Revise Strategy" card.
• Monster Shockwaves no longer push keys.

Hey, love the mod. I'm a sucker for global difficulty modifiers that are chosen by the player (also a huge roguelike nerd) and figured I'd leave some feedback as I've been basically only playing this for the last 2 weeks.

- Blurry Affliction: I find it strange that this is the only beneficial card in the entire deck.
- Toxic Cadavers:
1. Maybe it's just me, but it's basically impossible to tell if you're in the radius or not of the toxic corpse, for a few reasons.
a. the gas vfx does not match it's area, and
b. there's no pain flash when taking poison damage, which means you have to entirely rely on your audio... which kind of sucks when you have bad hearing problems like I do. Maybe put a green circle on the ground, or make the vfx match the range?
2. The description says it "lasts a short while" but it seemingly lasts minutes, which, combined with the above issue, means you end up waiting around doing nothing.
- Rocketeer Curse: Incredibly funny to watch, but the monster that spawns with this thing is actually way too fast. This thing can end your run depending on where it spawns.

Compatibility issues (OpenGL, Hardware render)
- LegenDoom: when a legendary monster proc occurs, if any of the "Rain" style cards are picked, the game lags into the single digits and becomes a slide show for the rest of the map.
- Shades of Doom (and I assume all mod packs that just add monsters): cards offered target specific monsters of the pack, rather than the family. this means when running something like hardcore science project, you get a ton of dead modifiers that do nothing for the run. would it be possible to have Permanent Cards target the entire monster family (ex: all imps) rather than just one type of imp?

Can't wait to see what other types of cards are in the pipeline.

If a mod has not set up monster species, the only way to get around it by creating a custom CCARDS lump. Create a new wad or pk3 with a single lump in it called CCARDS and add the following:

Code: Select all

monstergroup "group1", classname, classname, classname

You'll have to know what the monster's class names are to do this though. Check out the CCARDS lump in the Corruption Cards pk3 for more info and other options. Alternatively you can ask the mod creator to add their own CCARDS lump to their mod so it is supported in the future

im actually trying to set up my future mods to be as compatible with the mod as I can, because I absolutely love the progression it provides. Aside from the CCards lump, is there anything else I should account for? I'm already trying to group things with species in particular when present, but if there's anything else universally I can do to help with compat I'd be happy to integrate it to make things easier on your end.

Loving the hell out of the mod for helping to balance progression based mods, it makes an amazing counterbalance to mods that feel "too op" when you get deep into a megawad.
