About This File

Are you tired of playing a level and knowing just what to expect? Then this is the mod for you!

The Doom Monster Randomizer is a mod for G/ZDoom that uses custom spawners to randomize monsters. There are two editions: vanilla and enhanced.

The vanilla edition is recommended for those that want to fight the original monsters with a few custom ones. The vanilla edition includes 5 new enemy types: the chaingunner for the Ultimate Doom, the Nightmare Imp, the Lost Spectre, the Hell Spectre and the Red Baron. The new monsters are mainly variations on the old ones that add a little variety without being excessive.

The enhanced edition is for those that want lots of custom monsters. Almost every original monster is randomized, with the Arch Vile being the only monster that isn't. All of the custom monsters were chosen from the Beastiary based on how well they compliment the originals. As an example, expect various classes of imps to spawn where imps normally do along with the original variety. Each monster class has no more than 5 varieties, with most having 2 or 3.

Monster spawns are weighted based on what monster would normally appear. For example, the standard imps should appear the most frequently, followed by Nightmare Imps and so on.

As a result of randomizing monster spawns, difficulty can be erratic. Overall difficult is usually slightly higher. If you're having a tough time, trying switching to a lower difficulty or use the vanilla edition, which has less randomization.

This mod will not work with any mod that replaces the existing monsters. This mod will work with most custom levels, but may not work with heavily scripted ones. Weapon mods work great and are recommended!

Until a new ZDoom arrives this is pretty much broken.

the species property is a part of a very VERY recent SVN of zdoom that probably hasn't been released for ST yet, but it is pretty awesome that it can work for vanilla doom!

I don't know why people don't like it, Its pretty innovative, yet still could use some work. 4\5

I got it to work on my skulltag server. It is deferentially a damn good WAD.

This is a neat idea - but I don't like the chaingunner replacement sprite - in fact the human replacements let it down. Leave them out? - pritch

Ignoring the clash of most of the "new" realm667 monsters used, anyone that can edit wad files and knows how to copy and paste can do this in 5 minutes at the most and possible come up with a better monster combination. This is a textbook case of ripping, not the "ripping" when someone uses a graphic but provides new code, but full blown ripping where nothing is changed. But that's okay since it's a resource, right? Right?! No.

An excellent mod. Exactly what I was looking for to inspire me to play through the original IWADs again. Thanks for sharing! -- HERCULINE

Not only do you NEED a specific version of a specific port, this doesn't even work well. In fact I'm so deflated after trying this crock, I can't even be bothered to ... 1/5

this is just ANOTHER randomizer mod that can be done in 10 minutes. the difficulty is much harder, for example you chosen the cyber annihilator, demolisher and many more. you should had balanced those, there were some unfair fights where I died fast even though i was healthy and armored (200% HP and 200% AP). annihilator is damn overpowered, his homing rockets move fast, there is no way you can avoid this. my rating is 1 star for effort. ^^bitch please. your mod sucks bad.

You have to use an SVN version, not the latest public release, you can find them here: http://forum.zdoom.o rg/viewtopic.php?f=3 &t=19063

Not sure what others' stances are on stuff like this but this brings a hell of a lot of replay value to many things and keeps Doom interesting. 1 star reduced due to no Skulltag support. But I like it. ~BurningCadavre

Doom's gameplay just needed this fresh little addition to it. This is a pretty good mod as it does not change too much of the enemies and the original gameplay is still there. 4*

Not really interesting. You know there are better randomizer wads out there (such as Aeons of Death). There is no reason to try out this. Plus that I can do much better at compiling Realm667 resources and turning into a real Doom randomizer mod with every R667 Doom resource carefully selected in terms of difficulty, sprites, etc; so try better next time! Sorry. 1/5 for effort though. -Doomer95

      One of the classic megawads, and the successor to TNT Evilution. I've played this several times over the years, and its grown on me more with each play as my tastes mature.   Still has a bunch of maps that got me killed in 2024, after ive finished stuff like HR and AV, and plenty of maps are memorable. Only real downsides is some of the levels have little content, showing its age.

      One of the earliest Doom user maps and It shows. Despite the raw and empty design, the author take a good use of 3D space creating a small fortress surrounded by mountains, the level Is fun to play and not hard. A fancy escapade and a piece of modding history.

      Third and final released map of a WIP episode by David Rager, it's more long, complex and hard than the previous entries in the series. A well made map with pretty challenging parts with a mix of monster usage, envoirnmental hazards and some puzzle gameplay. Fun but pretty harsh.

      Two more misplaced DM maps without a exit like QUDOOM (that at least had a exit room, while not functional) that caught me by their file name and leave me for the bad experience in SP. Chicken is just a long bridge between a thundering abyss where cyberdemons wants to destroy you, meh. Gangstar is a more fun map sets in a big, abstract warehouse where a cyberdemon roam free trying to kill you, shotgunners and lost souls are here in this Hell corner adding more pain to the thing, enforced by semi-hidden mazes, my favorite.

      This is like the physical version of the "we have X at home" meme in DM map format for Quake E1M1. Very poorly made, broken exit and missing textures here and there but at least the level KINDA resembles the original source somehow.
