[ R I F T ] - OVER-THE-TOP Action Horror

---

---

• OVER-THE-TOP: Mercilessly large waves of enemies with the tools to annihilate them.

• MODES: Play either ''CAMPAIGN'' or ''SURVIVAL'', adjusted for different numbers of players. No more Bots in your way!

• HORROR: An oppressive atmosphere achieved through the dynamic use of sounds, color correction, fog, and messages.

• COMMANDS: Multiple commands to adjust the game to your liking ( with a 'voting system' in multiplayer ! ).

• CHECKPOINTS: Regular checkpoints throughout the campaign. No more retracing your steps!

It's advisable to start on normal (or easy) to familiarize yourself with the new mechanics.
The mutation works on any campaign map.

---

• Subscribe to this addon, then in-game go to the mutations tab & select the desired mode: "RIFT", "RIFT #x1#", or "RIFT #x2#".

• To play multiplayer create a lobby, and select "LOCAL SERVER" under server type ( make sure all your friends are also subscribed! )


The mutation DOESN'T need any extra addons to work, BUT there are some RECOMMENDATIONS:

• BOTS: The mutation heavily relies on grenades and defibrillators, which vanilla BOTS don't use. If you are playing alone, USE an ADDON that improves their capabilities ( I personally use "Left 4 Bots" ). Otherwise, stick to playing "RIFT #x1#" mode adjusted for ( 1 ) player.

• INTENSITY: As the default music is too soft, it is recommended to use the "RIFT Theme", "T.A.N.K. Theme", and "Wendigo Scream".

• HORROR: It is highly recommended to complement the experience with horror addons to capture the intended atmosphere (see the "{ RIFT - COLLECTION }" for ideas).

• HARDWARE: Careful, the mutation is resource-intensive ( ~100 enemies on screen !! ).


The mutation allows multiple commands using the chat box to resolve any issues that occur during the game. To see the full command list, enter "$?" (without quotes) in the chat box.

• Shoves never gets you tired ( ! ).
• Molotov's fire won't hurt you ( ! ).
• Adrenaline heals your entire health instantly.
• Killing Common Infected may drop useful items.
• Special Infected are heavily nerfed (depending on difficulty).
• Always kill the 'Boomer', as it attracts Common Infected.
• The 'Tank' has new abilities, including teleportation.
• All actions are performed much faster (getting up, reviving, healing, etc.).
• Add a shortcut to "$w" command, as Bots struggle to follow you.
• Don't stop moving during Finales, as you will be overwhelmed quickly.

There are many surprises the further you progress into the ' R I F T ' !!

• MULTIPLAYER:
Valve limits some server commands on clients, so I had to use workarounds to mimic the original experience. The major aspects have been worked out, but the host will have a slightly more immersive experience than the others.

• BUGS:
Tested on all official maps so it should work fine in most cases. However, bugs are inevitable. If you find any, please let me know in the comments or send me a message on my Steam account.

• CUSTOM CAMPAIGNS:
Most custom campaigns work fine with the mutation, however depending on the campaign, it may crash due to the number of "entities" or the mutation may make the map unplayable. I only plan to fix bugs that occur in official campaigns.

• DARK:
Color corrections were only tested on my monitor, on other settings it might be unplayably dark. You can fix this by disabling only the dark color correction by modifying the "rift_defaults.txt" file or with the "$c!" command ( see the 'Command List[docs.google.com]' ).

• PLOT:
Don't expect a deep and coherent plot, it was improvised as the gameplay mechanics were created. There is no need to try to decipher the cryptic messages, as they only serve to enhance the game’s atmosphere.

• PERFORMANCE:
The main performance bottleneck is the number of common infected, so it's not recommended to use high-resolution models or greatly increase their variety. You can also reduce their numbers by half by modifying the "rift_defaults.txt" file or using the "$z" command ( see the 'Command List[docs.google.com]' ). Ultimately, you could use mods that lower the graphics (for example, search for the collection: "Left 4 Dead 2 - Low Graphics").

• HELP:
I've tried my best to capture my ideas into the mutation, however, some are beyond my current knowledge. If you like what I've created and have experience programming in VScript, I'd appreciate your help in developing the mod[docs.google.com].

• MODIFICATIONS:
Feel free to modify and share my mutation as you like, just be kind enough to acknowledge my effort c: ( sorry for the spaghetti code ).
