Super Demon! FINISHED!!

#1

Hey there, I was working on this boss fighting wad two years ago where instead of you fighting the boss, you can BE the boss!

The game works like this, at the beginning of each map there is a countdown, after the countdown is finished one random player will be picked as the boss, and then the fight commences!

http://www.moddb.com/downloads/mirror/7 ... 5f514a9a55 (Does not need skulltag actors and/or data)

-=Features=-
- New Weapons!
- Unique bosses in each map!
- Megaman X styled boss bar!
- Stat saving!

-=Shit to do=-
- Level system? idk

-=DMFLAGS for hosting=-
Simply type in "setup" in the console to set everything up for you.
Also using random maps is highly recommended.

Start Map: Boss01
End Map: Boss23

Common questions

Code: Select all

Q. How do I switch weapons when I'm the boss?
A. It's just like all out war, press altfire.

Q. Does the boss health increase based on the amount of players?
A. Why yes, it does! Don't worry they also have health caps. As in, it can't go beyond a certain number.

Q. Is the boss selection random?
A. Actually, NO! Basically it will scrolls through the scoreboard, so for example here's a list of players:

Catastrophe
Player <--- current boss
Argentum
Impact

Lets say the round ended, and the boss -was- Player, it will now pick argentum. When argentum finishes his round, it will then pick Impact. However there is no one after impact, so it will just go back to Catastrophe and start over from there.

Q. Hey isn't this saxton hale?
A. I don't know what saxton hale is, but an alpha of this wad existed before megaman 8 bit deathmatch was even released.

Q. Why is the all the bosses weapons an imp hand?
A. Do you want it to take longer for me to make a boss? :p

Q. Will there be more weapons/bosses/etc? 
A. As long as I'm working on this, yes.

Looking for mappers!

Hey, if you submit a map for this, you can pick which boss you want in your map. So you can design the whole map around whatever boss you desire.

However, if you prefer making your own boss, follow this guide: http://bluests.enjin.com/forum/page/6/m ... uper-demon

Here's a map/boss that ivan made using the guide: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb313up6lis6t ... mivan2.pk3

But what bosses can you pick? Any. You can pick whatever boss you want as long as I can get permission to edit the monster freely. I'd recommend going through the monster resource wad, or realm667 to pick out a monster.

As for resources, use the latest version of this wad only

That looks good. It sounds like it would be fun to squash some bots as a big boss monster.

I had this idea once, glad to see it's coming along! I was thinking of just selecting the boss randomly but I guess the pad idea is even better.

It would be cool if players could "unlock" more powerful bosses by winning a certain number of rounds against the human team. Etc beat the marine team 3 times in a row and unlock the Cyber-Mastermind or something.


Another idea is if there could be more than one boss per level. Like having 2 players be Terminators and the rest are on the marine team.

Will you add less mass massacre and more intense boss maps?
Example : Everyone is in a gloomy sewer map.. the boss is a quick monster that is fragile but can rapidly kill a lonely marine, it might be a little bit of a scary addition to the boss theme -not scary but cheap jumps from time to time- :P

Those are both great ideas I had planned, but I don't like how saving variables work atm. Clientside = you can mess it up, Serverside = different unlockables in every server.

I wanna find a good workaround hmm...

Sounds like whodunit, tbh. One thing I can answer is that bosses aren't slow, frustrating tanks. They're about 90% as fast as doomguy at most. So, you can have some really fun gameplay!

Also see topic for the new weapons planned!

Ok, mandatory update screenie time.
Spoiler: (Open)

Yeah, the announcements for players or bosses winning now works. So I was wondering what could I do with the extra room?

My plan is to show statistics from your previous games as a "highscore". It's only YOUR stats and you benefit nothing from it, so I wouldn't care if you messed up your config to get an advantage. Overall it'd just be implemented for fun.

Anyways, stats planned:
  • Total games Played:
  • Games won:
  • Games lost(aka deaths):
  • Perfect games:
  • Most populated game:
  • How many times you've killed a boss:
  • Times Chosen as boss:
  • Games won as boss:
  • Games lost as boss:
  • Amount of kills as a boss:
  • Record Kills as boss:
etc... What do you guys think? Too much? Too little? Feel free to suggest too!

I think that when AEnima was talking about "unlocking" bosses he didn't mean "you win 50 rounds in your lifetime and you can play something super-puper" - more like he meant that one has to do a killing spree or sorts on the server. I.e. no saving variables needed, since everything is performed during one game. Even if he didn't mean that, it would be way better IMO - this way you don't have people unlocking the highest tier bosses and using them and only them.

Luck on this.

As of stats, just make a button that shows/hides them - as long as they don't pollute the screen when I don't tell them to pollute the screen, I don't care.

I think that's straight up overkill. Not only are the players losing, but the boss is transforming to an even stronger state? Though, as an alternative, I'll probably add an option to spawn as a random boss instead of the one native to its' map.
