The mod is still broken, look at this instead.

Best challenge ever
Frodo  [author] 26 May, 2021 @ 2:03pm 
v16

- should now crash less often due:
- nerfed hives max spawn amount
- capped normal waves with 20 entities max
- capped elite waves at 30 entities max
- removed carrier drones (that pop ~10 entities in 1 place)
- removed carnage drone
- removed elite rainbow wave
- removed karen, lol

- increased chance elite waves
- increased chance bosses spawning in waves
- increased chance queens
- increase chance slowdown/speedup
- darkfire waves antlionguard no longer sets own wave on fire
- added thicc and boss buzzer to elite buzzer wave
- added huge healthy parasite to elite parasite wave
- added blox

best challenge , very funny until it crash , because it will, pretty hard to keep a full server running ... you should probabily limit the carrier drones that carry special aliens ( normal drones shamans mosquitoes rangers doesn't make crash the server) or the half life zombies that spawns facehuggers , both of them are generally the problem ..
still very nice challenge if fixed should be added as a game mod , like asbi and potato
Frodo  [author] 19 Aug, 2020 @ 5:38pm 
@Risbo Thanks! ))
@lesta No, drone chance is as said below. However i made droptables for other enemies, which have less variation. maybe it wasnt a drone enemy?

I barely check here, for suggestions and ideas add me )) 62865601

@Swarc its available on some servers, if you have trouble hosting. And in scavenger mod thats the point lol, the enemies will drop your weapons
Swarc 11 Jun, 2020 @ 10:42am 
got a bug
Most of the weapons are unavailable to select and friend can not connect " problems with vindicator" that it corrups one of the game files

@Captain Frost : Ad 2 & 4:
I don't know too but i know that chicken server is able to spawn queen in front, it is quite regular. And 50 cal. is possible to take there already during briefing and it is made with infinite ammo, you just need to reload + it has secondary attack as stun grenade.

It is server C1ckensCoop Mod [4x][Unlimited Ammo] + HL2 NPCs.

--------------------------------------------

Btw, thank you for droptier table, didn't know that drop chance is build on tiers system.

--------------------------------------------

One more technical question, is it possible that drop system is relatively deterministic? For example i played yesterday one map for 10 times (i guess) and i got toxic gas in 3-4 times from the same alien spawn at the start of the map. Do you somehow mix the order of items in the same tier and are you always changing the entry seed for the generator of "random" numbers? You don't have to answer me, I am just curious :).

@lesta: 2 & 4: no, would like to aswell, but dunno how

Phoenix custom servers have version 10 right now :}

Captain Frost:

1) Will you write some changelog for new updates?
2) Can you make queen to spawn more in front? I played it for 2 days and she spawned only maybe twice somewhere in the back.
3) What is probability of dropping grenade launcher? I didn't see it drop for single time.
4) Could you make 50cal. refilllable please? It is awesome beast.

Frodo  [author] 8 Aug, 2018 @ 1:16pm 
@ Dr.INZANE all the phoenix servers, added my mod, find them in the dedicated server list :)
Frodo  [author] 6 Aug, 2018 @ 2:16pm 
@fantas im not good enough at coding to make HL2 spawn on their own, only out of other drones.
@H o r u s vanilla + crazy hordes, colors represent enemy types, sizes represent fast/morehp
@Dr.INZANE their were, but the hosts eventually removed them. finding new one now,

add me for questions, i rarily visit this page :)
Doctor INZANE 6 Jun, 2018 @ 12:21am 
Are there any servers running this? There should be.
the Way of Mandalore 18 May, 2018 @ 5:52pm 
seems ur making a good add-on here but idk what it is :( a clear, brief intro for ur add-on pls?
fantasmagorn 6 May, 2018 @ 10:25am 
Been tryign this one out and started to wonder - can you add extra mode? A HL2'ish one spawning only zombies (in greatly increased numbers), antlions/guard, headcrabs?
BigTony3800 13 Apr, 2018 @ 3:14pm 
no pics no clicks
Lankycide 2 Feb, 2018 @ 1:35pm 
Awesome, thanks! :) I like that you read these and improve your mod based on feedback. More mod authors need to be like you. ;D
Frodo  [author] 2 Feb, 2018 @ 10:50am 
@SCP, good input! added some more info

@levia
- Fixed the revive bug in 4.4, its back to 4.0's time :)
- Had backfire since start, but it wasnt fun in this mode, so removed it, fatal mistakes are not so bad with revives anyway
Levia 30 Jan, 2018 @ 5:33am 
+1 @ Overseer

Now that you have changed the time players have to revive an incapacitated player, it has become to difficult to manage; and the increased alien speed only makes it worse. We went back to playing 4.0 as that seemed better balanced. Also, I would recommend adding backfire to the challenges. The current backfire mods in the workshop also changes the damage the aliens do which is pretty broken if you ask me.
Lankycide 30 Jan, 2018 @ 4:54am 
Can I offer a suggestion? I recommend adding some kind of list of the challenges and more information to the description to help prevent people skipping over your mod, like I nearly did. :)
Levia 21 Jan, 2018 @ 11:48am
