Caco Invasion V9.4

#1

(Progress will continue in October of 2018)

Caco Invasion is exactly as it sounds, All monsters are cacodemons.
It is based off the skulltag wad Cacocontamination which originally came from zdaemon 6 years ago (called Cacoconflict and cacocorruption). The maps were rather boring, though game play was still really fun. This is a remake of it with all new maps and parts of the old maps mixed in. This is still in heavy development by Popsoap and I (evilm0nk). 90% of the decorations can be destroyed, some can only be destroyed by explosives. So far there are about 70 cacodemon's, about 50 are actually in the maps. Each level has its own set of cacodemon's to match its surroundings (example: a green cacodemon will be in a green forest, a black cacodemon would be in a cave of some sort). Also the time of day will change about every 3.4 maps, this way it feels like the main mission isn't just one whole day. Some maps will also have an alternate Exit, which will lead to a different set of levels, but will eventually connect back to the main levels.

THE GOAL:

The Goal is to shoot through 8-15 waves of cacodemon's on each level and fight a boss at the end. There is a cheesy story as well to make the carnage more fun. So far there is 25 maps playable and there will be 4 chapters. Each chapter will have 10-13 maps (except chapter 4 which will have 5), on the final map of each chapter there will be an epic chapter boss fight!

THE STORY:

You start off as a normal enforcer who is enjoying a time of peace in his city, of course you never actually fought or done anything while on duty, so your practically a noob. Then (Dun Dun Dun) you get an unexpected mission, Apparently there was a distress beacon set off on an island not far from you. You and a handful of soldiers set off by boat to find out whats going on. Long stories short your attacked by a bunch of water cacodemon's and eventually arrive at your destination alone and that's where your story begins.

Since not every map is completed, the story isn't quiet there yet.
Once more of the maps get completed, there will be more time to focus on the story part.
Dialogue and more cut scenes will be more present in the future as well.

Thanks for the feed back everyone :), This will definitely be completed, Though I will be bouncing between bossbattles and this so hopefully development stays at a decent pace :).
With Popsoap assisting me with the more complicated codes and everything else, this should stay relatively bug free.

The older versions back on zdaemon had this problem, Not sure the skulltag version did.

Popsoap: I dunno what 'manly' means in this context, but I'd like to see:
A: More Techbase. If it's well done (e.g. Interstellar Sickness from Community Chest 4, though that's the *stellar* example, so my standard for techbases is a bit lower), You can never have enough techbase maps.
B: Classic Hell, because damn, those Cacos need to come from somewhere.
C: Spacious maps. Maps with large, open areas that focus on long range and open combat with little cover.

To answer your question, Not for sure if there will be any techbases, But there will be cities and towns which are planned and correspond with the story.
Hell wouldn't fit into the story that much but I can think of something. Though I have to say I am burned out on hell maps, Specially with bossbattles.
You will definitely see some rather large maps in the future for sure :).

There is still a large chunk of maps left to be made, I am redoing 5 maps from contamination at the moment and adding them to the wad. Though they will not fit well with the story until I make more maps to fill in the blanks :O.

ok evilmonk where did you said they came from if this is not going to be a based off of hell because the first born cacodemon oringinally came from hell where do you suspect the other cacodemons came from. At least make the story based off of its main monster (cacodemon) stronghold.

So far there is no place where they particular came from in the story. I am still working on that as the maps develop, just because there cacodemons doesn't mean they have to originate from hell in this mod lol.

Hmm. I would like to see a map that has a good impending INVASION of cacos. A Giant Cascade of them everywhere, preferably in an open space so you can get a proper HORDE of them, for the "make the players go oh my god" effect. Most of the time in here, they come up in medium numbers, and never in impending fashion.

The main reason there is no big amount of them as of now is so that single player is easier, but I am working on this and I do plan to have some parts very very scary with lots of cacos :).

You can have lots of additional cacos that only appear in coop, which would leave single-player easy enough to be beatable.

Here is the latest version:

(2.1)

http://www.mediafire.com/download/cgnlt ... V2.1ZA.zip

Fixes and additions:

+New map
+New Boss
+New Cacodemons
+New weapon (replaces biolauncher because people were to stupid to figure it out)
+Realigned Textures on map03
+Fixed flame turrets and how they noclipped on bosses.
+added CantBlast Flag to friendly cacos.
+Lowered dudes mass so he wouldnt get killed by his own weight.
+added the Notarget flag to the cacos, this way no infighting occurs.
+changed blue potion for another version
+Fix nailgun ammo
+intro for chapter 2 is Some what complete, just needs more details.

What is to come.

-More maps, Going to redo a few of the cacocontamination maps and add them in.
Going to start a new map to fill in the blank after the cacaroo battle, This way the second chapter actually has an introduction instead of all of a sudden appearing in the sewers.
The sewer maps will come later on in chapter 2 but for now there done and playable.
-Going to add popsoaps multiplayer code into the waves, should make it more difficult online.


EDIT:

Version 2.1 fixes minor bugs with the rocket Launcher.

Here is Version 3

+New Map(13).
+New Boss cacodemon for that map.
+New baby cacodemon.
+Barrels can be blown up and will drop items.

The New map doesn't have a correct spot into the story yet, as well as map 11 and 12.
Those three maps will most likely be pushed way back into chapter 3 (maps 21-30), They are just there in those spots to fill in the blanks.

What more to come:
-More maps obviously, 2 are in the works now.
-More destructable objects.
-More cacodemons.
