Enemy SVal Loader

Before getting into the details on the technical wizardry I've achieved, this mod doesn't really do anything for the average user. It's a framework that lets other people make mods that add new enemies. You can still use it by itself if you like, just be aware that there won't noticeable be anything different.


With that out of the way, behold: my custom SVal Loader for enemies! Previously in vanilla HoH, making custom enemies spawn required editing a specific file (EnemyPlacement.as). Because you can't just replace a small part of functions, this meant that only one mod adding enemies could be active at a time (unless the mod creators worked together to create one version adding both of their sets of new enemies).

With this mod I've done a large restructuring of how enemies are placed into levels, part of which was adding a new SVal loader to conveniently and dynamically load enemies from sval files into the appropriate lists. No more conflicts, just fun new enemies to fight!

The following link explains how to define your sval files to easily make enemies appear with this mod:
