10.5x's Issues

monsters spawned by RandomSpawner don't get initial thrust

because the thrust was applied to RandomSpawner itself.

doesn't work with HD Follower

Submitted by FluffySnake via Discord:

... doesn't work well with HD [Hideous Destructor] Follower, it makes a second follower you can't order around and crashes your game if killed

individual sliders for each monster class

Submitted by Accensus:

Although it's quite specific, would it be possible to adjust the count of vanilla monsters (or those inheriting from vanilla monsters) individually?
Like, reducing only the number of zombiemen and shotgunners while keeping the number of everything else intact.

monsters don't move

Submitted by Rowsol:

Loading this with Colourful Hell, map01 of Doom 2. I set the multiplier to 5. Waking up the monsters in front of me, the left pile doesn't budge but the right one does. Repeatable. They also don't initially thrust apart like they should.
I load up VDP instead of CH and the left pack is properly alerted but again, no initial thrust.

Add a MaxMonsterCount # option

Would be super useful if I could set a max amount for monsters on a level, after they've been multiplied or divided, so it would never exceed that number.

MaxMonsterCount = 100

So lets say a level has 140, 350 or 1020 monsters, that setting would reduce it to only 100 monsters.

This would be excellent for making maps have better performance, less insanity on maps that already have way more monsters than other levels and allow a more consistent level-to-level experience.

Ideally it would be a number field, but can also be a slider.

Strife - multiplier doesn't work on maps in a hub

submitted by StroggVorbis

add a check to not multiply non-counting monsters

Strife - otherwise you get double quest givers, shopkeepers and so on.

Don't clone friendly enemies

Submitted by Accensus via Discord.

Turns out the mod is multiplying companions from the follower mod

health density is 30x with Shades of Doom

enemies should die only when they sight the player, not at the level start

As in Doom Tourism Deluxe.
This will result in smaller chance of breaking scripted maps.

Make projectiles fly through emitter species
