[Mod] Mission Mode: Strength in Numbers [v1e]

[Russel]

This mod adds four additional classes for the players to choose from.
These classes are:
Duo
Doc Robot
Darkman
Fakeman

I have made several other changes based on what I thought would need to be changed in actual core Mission Mode.
The changes include optimization of certain code sections, globalization of the weapon get code, and even down to slight
things like changing the skins of Bass and Roll.

Key word: SHOULD
% Roll's healer better freaking work now because I have no idea what else to do for it.

[Forked from the original thread for convenience of user confusion]

Special thanks to Korby and Uki for the help they put in with creation of this mod.

Note to server hosts: I have added a server variable called sv_sp_allclassweps, setting this to 1 will enable all classes to get weapons from a boss regardless of which class defeated it.

I know I have not played this mode as often, but I'd make a suggestion for some buffs to roll as far as healing.

+ Healing beam does not consume ammo unless it successfully heals a target player, neither consumes ammo when healing a player that is at full HP.
+ Roll class players see a small health bar/number (representing remaining hp) a pixel above the ground where the ally stands, showing health based on 10% 20% 30% -etc.- 100% if based on health bar (All Client sided)
+Health beam can cut through ProtoMan's shield (or other possible blockers, like DarkMan's shields) reducing healing annoyances.

Just some thoughts. Hopfully this will make Roll a much more better healer compared to Darkman's ToadMan weapon.

Is this an actual project while the original mission mode is happening?

[Beed28]

It's very difficult to choose Fake Man for single player. Although, the Ranger from Quake in Samsara has this same problem.
Duo's fist should be on the left hand side.

~ LARGE CHANGE: Heatman can no longer be completed in speedrun. The rising/falling lava was increased in speed.

then we just have to be quicker

I had sv_unblockplayers on due to the number of people, it has nothing to do with the mod.

Yes, changes I have made to the mod will likely not be included in the normal mission mode.

+ Healing beam does not consume ammo unless it successfully heals a target player, neither consumes ammo when healing a player that is at full HP.
+ Roll class players see a small health bar/number (representing remaining hp) a pixel above the ground where the ally stands, showing health based on 10% 20% 30% -etc.- 100% if based on health bar (All Client sided)
+Health beam can cut through ProtoMan's shield (or other possible blockers, like DarkMan's shields) reducing healing annoyances

I'm thinking of changing the healer back into a projectile, but one that is spawned in front of you based on momentum as opposed to hitscan. The hitscan one has issues in my version of the mod that the normal version does not have, despite being the exact same thing coding-wise. I will probably apply these changes when I get some real freetime today.

then we just have to be quicker

...Good luck with that...

[Korby]

Duo's fist should be on the left hand side.

I'm well aware. I forget the exact reason I didn't do it, but I did have one at some point.

Also, Fake can't be much harder than Roll  

[xColdxFusionx]

I think Beed means in the main menu. Once you hit a certain number of classes, the "class select" menu for starting up Singleplayer mode becomes a pain in the butt to navigate.

Never EVER turn that on in the current build of Zandronum, it has been reportedly the cause of the entire "ThroughSpecies" problem (Which has led people to mistake that Item 1 caused crashes).

^This. Idk if that can actually be fixed though...

It can't unless either the source ports changes the Single Player Class Menu to allow customization. Maybe there's also a way to create a custom class relection. I Know Real Guns mod has a custom class selection that also allows users to pick their perks.

[Russel]

due to the number of people

Never EVER turn that on in the current build of Zandronum

I was well aware of this issue. I specified my reasoning. I wasn't expecting the number of people joining to the server and did not prepare. Either way, there is no need to berate me just because I turn on some unsupported feature. I turned it off after a while and it only seemed to crash new joining clients. This was the point when I opted to restart the server anyhow.

It's very difficult to choose Fake Man for single player. Although, the Ranger from Quake in Samsara has this same problem.

This is an issue I tried to resolve. It would use a feature that does not exist in the current build of Zandronum. It is a ZDoom Feature, however.

You could try the "Real Guns" way, although that one is boring to code and I'm not sure if it will always try to make it so you have the class you have choosen on Respawn.

Edit: On second thought... Forget the Real Guns way. Perhaps messing with THIS could work?
