[Old thread] Chaos Generator Upgraded Ver. M

[Joseph Collins]

I just realised a problem. My Chaos Generator Upgraded mod requires the original chaosgenerator-2.wad to run, which could be found on the blog, but now it's been deleted, since it was hosted on Wadhost. This is a BIG problem for me, since people won't be able to play this mod without it.

And this is part of the reason I did not use Wadhost exclusively.  No control over my files once they're uploaded there.  For example, if I made a minor update to something, I couldn't just overwrite the original file.

And of course, what if it went down, as it has?  Then where would I be?  :B

Did someone ask for chaosgenerator-2.wad?

the "random fire traps" icon made my day xD

Is there a mirror for Version E? My computer doesn't like Sendspace (or Sendspace doesn't like my computer, one of the two)

There's a new mirror via Mediafire thanks to Rolan, you can find it in the first post.

Wow, really? That's awesome. Thanks Rolan.

Just discovered something regarding the zombies:

There were about one or two occasions where the zombies didn't show up, and instead there were just little spark things randomly appearing in the map. Might have been caused by another chaos effect (not sure which). It might be best if you give the zombies a slight health buff IMO.

I just found out that they seem to hate Chargeman's stage (the train), as they don't seem to spawn and instead "spark" on the ceilings and sky. I dunno why that's happening, since Eddie, the Kyorowns, the Evil Yashichi and Gutsman G all spawn correctly on the map. If anyone knows how to fix it, tell me!

EDIT: I think I fixed the problem! Anyway, I'm nearly ready to release a new version, but first, the changelog.

Changes for Ver. D
-HUB: Moved the EXPLOSIVE DEATHS and COLLISION DAMAGE effects from the hazard modifiers to the player modifiers.
-DEAD RISING: Hopefully fixed a bug which prevented them from spawning on certain maps, such as MM5CHA.
-INVISIBLE PLAYERS: New.
-DARK LIGHTING: New. It may be too dark for software users, though.

And here's a spooky screenshot:

Very nice, Shademan. Now could you turn on the lights back on and drop the invisibility cloak, please?

Sorry to double post, but the new version is here. Note that falling damage turns the Wind Storm and Gravity Hold into absolute monsters, but they don't seem to give frags. Also, I need someone to do a MediaFire mirror.

Have fun.

This seems rather strange, but the mediafire download for chaosgenerator-2.wad... IS BROKEN!
PLEASE, someone post a new link or fix the mediafire!!!!!

I went to try it and it still seems to be working. If it still doesn't work, I made a mirror awhile back:

I noticed there hasn't been a lot of activity lately, but I think I found a bug. This only happens when using the Screw Scramble [Minus] mod in conjunction with this. When the Jelly World effect is enabled, both Auto and Reggae bounce around a few times and then disappear. They'll eventually re-spawn again when you re-spawn, but then disappear again.

I really love these extra mods. I've been messing around with them and they're a great addition to the original. I hope it'll be combined with an official release someday so we don't have to add both files to play.

I think this is why:

This is Auto's coding in the Screw Scramble Minus mod. I bet it's the same for Reggae as well:

Code: [Select]

actor AutoScrews : CustomInventory replaces BlueFlag
{
scale 2.5
height 58
radius 20
speed 0
States
{
Spawn:
AUTS A 0
AUTS A 0 Thing_ChangeTID(0,1998)
AUTS AAAAAAABBBBBBB 1 A_Wander
AUTS A 0 A_SpawnItem("AutoMarker")
AUTS A 1 A_JumpIf(z-floorz>0, "Death")
loop
Pickup:
AUTS A 0 ACS_ExecuteAlways(307,0)
fail
Death:
TNT1 A 0
stop
}
}Note this function:

Code: [Select]

AUTS A 1 A_JumpIf(z-floorz>0, "Death")
This is probably why they're disappearing. They're checking to see if they're standing on the ground and not in the air. Since Jelly World makes everything bounce, that's probably what triggers it and despawns them.

Anyway, it's an issue on their end and not mine. You shouldn't expect full compatability between the two mods anyway, since three of the chaos effects conflicts with some of the Screw Scramble rewards (Spread Shot, Double Fire Rate, Vampirism to name them).

EDIT: Nevermind... I was using the wrong wad! XD Silly me. Clicked thae standard Chaos wad rather than the Upgraded wad. I feel so stupid sometimes. Ultimate Gauntlet works like a charm... A purely chaotic charm... O.o Force Beams and bullets EVERYWHERE! (among other things)

EDIT 2: Ok part way through a match, I get a crash to Megaman command screen with the error "BOTCMD_LOOKFORWEAPONS: ILLEGAL ITEM INDEX, 32768!" (It doesn't crash the game itself, just boots me out of the current match)

[Beed28]

It... sounds like you encountered a rare Skulltag bug. I remember it doing that a few times on me, but I forgot what mods I was using.

Also, welcome to the Cutstuff fourms!

Oh yeah, that makes sense...since that version of Screw Scramble tries to fix the whole not spawning on the ground. Thanks for explaining that to me. I wasn't expecting full compatibility, but I just hosted a game today and that was really the only issue I had (I'd just do a "changemap" on the same map until the jelly effect went away lol. I probably won't combine those two anymore though.)

Was playing around with the Chaos mod on singleplayer when... This happened.

(click to show/hide)

Fire Traps + Icy Terrain + Kyorown Swarm + Yellow Devil = I need my God mode!

So many fire traps... O.o Between dancing between the fire blast and dancing between Yellow Devil's shots and parts... Yeah, I wasn't even going to try this one without God Mode.

EDIT: Have to add one thing: I LOVE using Gravity Hold in addition to Fall Damage + Double Firing Speed outside the Skull Castle.  For a few cheap laughs I use God Mode + Infinite Ammo to just slaughter the bots. "Protoman fell too far. Dr.Wily fell too far. Megaman fell too far Elecman fell too far." ect... all almost instantaneously! XD This match I set up for the sole purpose of bot slaughtering! (Lose a frag upon death, no spawn protection, ect...) Most fun I've had this a Doom mod I've had in a while... Keep up the fun work! XD
