Necrosis' Challenge
Hey everyone! Long time player, first time modder; this is a simple yet challenging mod that starts you out at 200 HP and Armor at the start of the game, but EVERY other health/armor pickup is removed from the maps; essentially, you have one long health bar to get through the game on, so all damage is permanent! I called it the Necrosis' Challenge because it's based off of another challenge of the same name for Final Fantasy VII.
The aim of this mod is to give an interesting challenge to the veterans, and give nice practice to newer players (or players with slower reaction times) in regards to dodging projectiles and timing when to peek a corner and blast down the hitscans.
I hope everyone who picks up the mod enjoys it!

Re: Necrosis' Challenge for Ultimate Doom
Instead of placing a soul sphere and blue armor at the player's feet, you can change the player actor so he starts with 200 health and a blue armor. Also, I hope you didn't include slightly-modified versions of all the maps in Ultimate Doom, because that would be illegal. You could use DECORATE to replace each health and armor actor with one that does nothing, and then the mod would work with any wad, not only Ultimate Doom.
If you need help figuring out how to do this, ask away, but first please try to figure it out yourself, using the ZDoom Wiki as a reference.

Re: Necrosis' Challenge for Ultimate Doom
Fair enough, did not know that wasn't legal :P I tried looking for DECORATE but I can't find a download anywhere and simply looking up HOW to do things like that yielded completely unrelated results.
Edit: wait is it illegal to modify the ultimate doom maps in ANY capacity, or just editing the IWAD file?

Re: Necrosis' Challenge for Ultimate Doom
OK, the easiest thing for me to do is just do it for you. Look at the code and, using the wiki as a reference, try to figure out HOW it works, and maybe you can learn something from it.
Using Slade, make a new wad and add a lump called DECORATE, and paste the following into it:
Then, add a KEYCONF lump and paste the following into it:
Then, add a WADINFO lump describing the wad and giving due credit to Konda and me for our help.

Re: Necrosis' Challenge for Ultimate Doom
@Empyre those NoBlueArmor items and such can be also implemented like this:
This is how i usually see them in mods.
Code: Select all
ACTOR NoBlueArmor : BlueArmor replaces BlueArmor {}
Re: Necrosis' Challenge for Ultimate Doom
Wouldn't that make the NoBlueArmor exactly like the regular BlueArmor, with no changes? Perhaps it would be better if it didn't inherit from BlueArmor at all, like this:Konda wrote:@Empyre those NoBlueArmor items and such can be also implemented like this:This is how i usually see them in mods.Code: Select all

Re: Necrosis' Challenge for Ultimate Doom
