Factotum [16/10/19] Survival

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Ohh, thanks yukes!

I am going to update it again. Give me a few hours.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Well, after some struggle with the code, i finally merged some changes that i kinda lost track and had to do again. But nothing major except some details were re-done. Now i believe i am finally free from Arrange mode to work the main Factotum game again.

---

- Grenade icons from HUD were removed and merged to the sub weapon icon when grenades are selected.
- Some item names were re-written
- Correction on code linearity
- New HUD icon for broken weapons.
- Fixed Hexen spawners and typos, thanks again to DabbingSquidward and YukesVonFaust!
- More i probably forgot.

Grab Arrange mode 3.1 here!

After a long wait, the vanilla version was updated!

I don't really NEED to list the changes, because they all featured during this time on Arrange Mode. But, of course, i've kept the old ammo quantities and 2 repair kits limit. The really NEW things are sounds to each weapon (aside from the vanilla sounds), and some menu graphics.

Bugs, or crashing features, please feedback to me!!!

P.S.: I forgot to increase the reload time of the shotgun back to the vanilla value, but i don't think this is a major issue, given you can use the P94.

Feedback is appreciated. Have fun!

EDIT: Had to upload again because some bugs appeared. But i think nobody had the time to download it.

I'm late to the party, but let me say this mod is awesome! It feels really good coupled with the Ashes 2063 maps, it really does feel like a proper survival horror experience (especially with the actual soundtrack of various survival horror games and similar playing) and it particularly feels very Resident Evil-ish in the map Damage Control.
I wonder if there will be more weapons and whatnot someday?

Also as a bonus, I loved the intro disclaimer typical in PS1 survival horror titles, so I made a bunch of variations:

Ah yes, that last one is my favorite.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Thanks a lot man!

I do have plans for Factotum indeed. As i posted some time ago in the "Project Ideas you have", i want to explore a little bit more from the weapons and not just some "take inventory-give inventory".

---

I was thinking about a possible second take on Factotum. this time not only the player would have to deal with Weapon durabilities, but also Hunger, Stamina, Alternate ammo types and better jamming states/animations.

Hunger wouldn't be so annoying as in Red Dead Redemption 2, where i seen myself eating a lot of things everytime, but rather a slow HP degrade, very subtle (maybe, 1 HP each 2 minutes). The player will know it's there. Sure, it would be anti-game to make the HP degrade if the player is very low on health, so there would be a HP check for that (like, it degrades to 10 HP and nothing below that).

Stamina would serve for sprinting (obviously) but using heavy weaponry or taking too much damage would make go down, too. I even thought of movement crippling as in Strife (player can't run below 5~10 HP). Staying still or eating/healing would suffice that.

Alternate ammo types can have different results on gameplay in more than obvious ways: It can change the recoil of the weapon you are using it with, as well as the damage, accuracy and therefore, the stamina draining. Sure, a pistol wouldn't do something noticiable, but get a LMG fully loaded and lay the lead on a Baron of Hell to see the results. Maybe this could force players to decide which ammo to use for future bosses or harder events.

Jamming animations would really STOP the player from firing the weapons this time, and consume ammo as well (maybe a chance to recover, but who knows). The player can switch weapons if he wants, or use secondaries to keep smaller threats away, but it would take luck to un-jam the weapon.

This being said, i am not trying to be "serious" about realism. I try to be as fair as possible, as i am not into gameplay systems that punish players very hard for their errors (i.e. putting them on a dead end) as a excuse for difficulty.

But, if the question is if this first game will be touched, maybe yes, but not as much as bugfixes or small tweaks. I want to keep both variations (normal and Arrange) intact on its trails, so a possible Factotum 2 would expand those ideas.

Also, thanks a lot for the screenies! I am dead sure to use them in the future (i'll try to make a random screen showing up if possible). In case you haven't seen, both Arrange and Normal Factotum have different disclaimer screens =p

Hope you enjoy it even more. Cheers!

That's good to hear! This is definitely one of my favorite mods out there! I know you don't plan to add much more to the original Factotum, but it'd be nice to see flame or acid rounds for the grenade launcher, I knew they weren't there but seeing the ol' grenade bag gives me that nostalgia.
Also lookin' forward for whatever comes next! Great job on these, mate!

SNEAKY EDIT: Just a couple more intro screens because Factotum mixes really well with Ashes maps.

Anybody up to a new experience?

Click here for Factotum Survival.

I've been messing around with Factotum a bit, and kinda took the survival horror a little bit more seriously. But don't worry; this version won't override the others, and it's only meant to fulfill some desire i've had to make the game harder without losing fun.

---

- New HUD which occupies less space (and showcases weapon states individually instead of all weapons)
- Weapon repair parts are universal, and spawn in Blursphere places
- Armors give half their original points, but have the same protection percentage (50%)
- SPAS-12 reloading animation is slower and smoother
- Player moves a little bit slower
- Medikit (not stimpacks) heal pretty much in the same way as in SoldierZ: a little bit over 5 seconds.
- Movement crippling under 10HP;
- Like in "Arrange" version, the plasma rifle is out and .556 weapons (M4A1 and K3) replace cell-based weapons.
- New sprites for machete (a durability for it is planned)
- New sprites for stimpack
- Some new item descriptions
- Berserk replacer heals only 50HP
- "Overhealth" healing item is out
- Ammo limits were DRASTICALLY lowered.
- Berserk, medikit and stimpack replaceers can be toggled on options to be either carried on inventory or activated instantly.
- shotgun doesn't fire automatically
- medikits capacity in general reduced
- Added some language definitions

Download link will be also avaiable in the first page. Have fun!

THIS MOD IS AMAZING THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I´ve tried your 3 Factotum mods and I´ve to say that trying Factotum Survival (on ultra-violence) with the mod "Resident Evil: Codename HUNK Monsters" is fucking amazing.

I really like Resident Evil especially 2, 3 and code veronica and I love the sounds and the PS1 intros you´ve put into this mod. I also like the way the player moves slower and the slow recharge for the shotgun. And the blue, red, green plants !!

Weapons are great, with a recharge system (I like recharge systems a lot, I prefer it over vanilla weapons mods that you don´t have to recharge although sometimes I use these mods and enjoy them, but I prefer mods with a recharge system) that fits the Resident Evil essence (pistols, shotguns, smg, grenade launchers). Also the machete and the grenades. Having a plasma weapon in the other mods is okey for me, I like it. Also the system of breaking weapons and repair kits is great.
I love the detail of the secret photo of Rebeca Chambers when you recharge the LMG. Furthermore RE1 (or 2 not sure) footsteps, also great, 10/10.

I also think that you have made very good making 3 different mods (the first being more arcade, the second a little bit more difficult and the last being survival and the hardest) because this way you can use them with different enemies mods/maps and have more and different experiences.

I have to try all three mods (and it´s sound addons) more times to have more conclusions, but the first sensations are being great.
Happy to see more Classic Resident Evil fans. You´ve made my day with this !!! Thank you.

PS: Do you know any RE2 / 3 music mod? Would be a (more) amazing experience.

[64palm]
