Well, you can make that those monsters aren't modificables.... i mean, remplacables.... Or make a Monster by Monsters substitution and exclude those :P

But yeah, that would be nice to have a diferent game each time we play

It sure sounds like fun, and I wouldn't mind the feature to return.

Also, is it possible to make the Final Showdown a bit tougher? I think adding more annoying pests to Makron's lair would make it more of a challenge. As of now, I can beat him with nothing but a blaster, and that's exactly what I and xRDVx are going to do when we clear unit 9! :]

OK, monster's substitution is back, and I have increased the probability. The old problem for some missions came from another feature that randomly add loot to monsters (ammunitions, grenades, medikit...). The loot feature wasn't restored.

I'm ready for anything that the random factor can throw at me! I try to never let my guard down in Palace anyway.

What do you mean with that?

If you refer to the probability of some monster dropping ammo (on the XML rules of the ACTUAL relased version of the World server), i do not care..

But if you are talikng about another thing... explain me that.

The old problem was related to the probability of some monster dropping ammo. A monster can only drop one item, and the feature could overwrite an existing item. I don't remember the exact mission, but there is one where a monster must be killed and drop a needed item.

By default, all the items and ammo dropped by monsters in Quake 2 are predefined, meaning that they are not random.

Now, I guess at some point there was an additional script in COOP or DIE that added some random drop. If so, then it was likely that random loot would sometimes overwrite the predefined item drop, resulting in confusion with mission goals.

Hope that's the case. Pat will correct me, if not. :]

Too bad that you can not implement that... but.. whatever.. I is not even more easy because we get more carefull

Oh... however, pls test mission 9..


Thanks for implementing that again, it is beutifull to have an unpredictible game.

It's too bad that pain and me still not reached unit 10... Too bad... But, we will keep trying...

I think the previous problem was related to this mission.

So I disable the monster substitution for this mission, tell me when you'll beat it.
