10x - Ten Times the monsters!

Here's another "I posted this everywhere else so I'll post it here too".

For (G)Zdoom and Skulltag:



10x multiplies the default doom enemies by 10 at the start of the level. Simple, but tough! Because of the collisions I had to make it so you can run through the monsters. Also there's a weird bug where the monsters "play dead", and get back up once you blast them. Have fun :P

I also made a weapons addon to make the weapons 10 times as powerful to make things easier. It's optional so you'll have to run zdoom with both wads.

Huge huge huge bugs: whenever you start a level, all the monsters are instantly alerted. I'm guessing the monsters don't transfer things like deafness.

Interesting idea, though.

Edit: Monsters also fall off cliffs.

It's not a bug, just impossible to deal with if I want it to work on all wads.

The monsters drop off ledges so it's possible for more monsters to spawn on small ledges etc.

I think it would be cooler if you just made items give 10x ammo, and monsters had 10x as much health. Except to prevent from boredom, I'd reccomend something like 3-5x as tough. If possible, maybe you could make it vary with difficulty.

ITYTD - 1x (default)
HNTR - 2x Ammo, 2x MonsterHP
HMP - 3x Ammo, 3x MonsterHP
UV - 4x Ammo, 4x MonsterHP
Nightmare - I have no idea.

I think I would most enjoy ten times the monsters with one tenth of the health each.

I wonder what would happen if I used this with Nuts.

EDIT: It freezes up right away. X D

Lol, this is crazy. I think someone's comment on the ZDoom forums about Nuts.wad was "0.000000000000001 fps". Evidentially, it did not work too well :P

i'd do it for quake, but there's the packet overflow issue
