Ok

here's a little spoiler for people wondering why a "enemy replacement mod" take so long to make:

I'm actually trying to transform the pool from Karnak into a full @ss 4 floors temple with custom 3D models and layout, because it's more interesting and because I never liked that pool that funk up the enemy AI...
So yeah, I'm currently outside of my comfort zone...

The mod seem to be made in a haste, so I don't know if I trust its quality control, we will see later.

Other than that, my 2 last college semester and other things really didn't let me any time to work on my mods, so I'm trying to find the time to finish the 1st part of my next mod for the Quake enemies to make a video of it that I "might" post of 7smokes and Croteam Discords to make people remember me or something. I have no date for it, because this mod was in my backlog for so long that my motivation to work on it is at its lowest...

Hey timilyo80,I saw a fusion port of enemy resources that came in recently.

Do you have time to do a bestiary exposition of it?

Probably come out in 25 years!? Dang,that's a long time.

I will (even if it look terrible), but I'm in the middle of the Quake mod and also in the middle of my last semester of college, and I would prefer to do the other enemies resources before this one, so it will probably come out in 25 years.

Yo timilyo80! Check out this enemy resource pack that came out recently!

Are you interested in making a Bestiary Exposition of it?

Cool map pack. I enjoyed the NE one the most. It's a shame the monsters animations are so shit lol they are genuinely unique for the universe. Also, the second level...prison of the beast I couldn't imagine doing it on serious without getting the BR before you start encountering hitscan enemies.

Regardless I had fun beat them back to back, thanks for your work.

Glad I could be of some assistance! I try to leave fair, constructive reviews of mods I try (unless of course, the mod in question is supposed to be bad). I'll give the fixes a try.

As for hitscanners, they can be passable if the player knows where they are and has cover to deal with them. For example, with Arachanoids in most scenarios, they are encountered in indoor areas with lots of cover, or outside on top of pillars or raised structures (and have a bright yellow or red color, making them easiilly seen). My main frustration with Prision is that the hitscan guys blended into the background, and were hard to see and were everywhere. If they, say, had brighter colors on or something, that may help the player. (or more cover, idk. Im no game expert).

Have a nice day!

I just woke up this morning and told myself: wait, why aren't you doing anything to, at less, try to fix that prison level? Obviously, the problem are these hitscan enemies with too much accuracy!

So, I made this lil balancing patch. It might seem like minor changes, but I hope it's enough to make the level somewhat easier.

Big corridor: bassically halved the number of tommy gun soldiers

The Pits:
- spawn 3 arachnoids hatchling instead of 4 with only 1 in a group
-The third Reptiloid take 15 second to spawn after the second one, instead of 10
-The shotgunners are 8 in total instead of 10, are 2 in a group instead of 3 and take 10
seconds to spawn instead of 9

Boss battle: The green zorgs are 6 in total instead of 8, are 3 in a group instead of 4 and
spawn every 7 seconds instead of 5

Last Fight: bassically, the tommy gun soldier now have only 1 spawn group

I deleted these 3 dudes in front of the door after the second cutscenne, cause they are useless

Thank you very much for your comment, you can't imagine how good it feel to FINALLY have a constructive criticism!!!
(well, Danny gave some not useless informations, but still...)

For that big fight with hitscan enemies, I actually REALLY hate hitscan enemies too!
I just don't know how to "properly" use them with the way I do waves of enemies. So, I didn't put any hiscan for Hellion Family (especially cause the level had near no cover), put a lot of cover in that big corridor, put a lot of armor and health, then recomended players to play it on easy. The gameplay is basically a lot of "shoot, cover, shoot, cover", and try to not let the other big guys overwelm you. I'm not ashame of this level, but it's not my proudest BE level for now

Also, for THAT NE level, don't worry too much about it. 90% of the bad things about this level is cause of the enemy pack, cause this pack is pure garbage. Still, I'm happy you could find some fun in it

Overall, a decent level and mod pack with some shorter, smaller levels for fun. I certianly enjoyed playing through and hope this feedback helps!

2/2
Totally Legit NE level: I went in expecting memes, and actually, even though i've never played NE, it seemed kinda close enough to it to give players a small taste of the game. A very fun and actually decently easy level (except for the canon elephants). However, there was a fairly major issue with the dragon-bird guy's hitboxes. The first time it is encountered early on its not very apparent, but during the final fight, if they are "standing" they can only be damaged by shooting their feet, as they are actually using the "Flying" mode hitbox, which is smaller and lower. It certianly wasn't game breaking, as you just shoot the feet, but it was annoying. Also, sometimes the ninja master (the floaty guys) would get stuck in the ceiling and other enemies would have corpses stick around awhile and it was hard to tell if they were still "alive". But, those minor issues aside, a very good level.

1/2
Well this was a pretty interesting mod. Pretty good work but the levels are a pretty good challenge.

Hellion Family Treasure: A pretty solid level mostly, the guardian boss was a but on the hard side for sure, especially if low on ammo, but certianly not impossible. Everything else was hard but fair and fun.

Prision of the Beast: I actually ragequit this one. Hitscan enemies everywhere! I died on the second main fight and no matter how I approached it, the hitscan enemies always killed me. It was a neat idea for the enemies to have your weapons though, but it's still very difficult, and feels unfairly so. (I really dislike hitscan enemies in SS games)

Ok,see you then!(on May,probably?)

Ma man, you actually have some good thinking here! But, I might make a lil back to the past Samurai Jack to SS3 before that.
See you soon! :3
(Well, "soon" can mean "in 6 months" apparently...)

I thinking about what would be next and that would be the Enemies from Quake 1

Your effort and willingness to mod is appreciated but if you want to improve and be considered a good modder then increase the standards a bit, else you will be considered lazy and bad for using janky and buggy resources no matter how much time you spend on it.
You are the creator here you do whatever you wanna to do but satisfying the players is sometimes more important

Oh wait, you're talking about "that" NE level. Yeah, that one was ONLY made cause my goal with this series of mods is to use every single enemies packs. Everythings around that level is pure mockery. I basically forced myself to do "that" level and made it quicker than the other 2

If the "untested random fest" comment was only for "that" level, please take my sincere apologies and be clearer next time

If that comment was also for the 2 main levels, my previous message stay relevant (cause, personally, my only problem with Harbinger's enemies are floating weapons. Not good, but passable (well, I also have others problemes with some of them, but it's more subjective))

The authors of those insanely atrocious enemies is a completely different topic
But its beyond me that you have released a mappack with enemies that slide around and are overall insanely janky and buggy.
Its like if you took the content of your rubbish bin, put effort into cooking whats inside it and later served it to people - you put effort but the ingredients are pure trash. Cant get how a map full of sliding ragdolls was considered good for a release.

Let me be clear here:

- No, it's not a "joke mod". If it was one, it would be more like Bestiary Overdose and the levels previews would be simple screen shots

-No, I actually put thoughts on the waves design, but I do know that some waves can be less good than others, because nobody is perfect

-Yes, it was tested, even on Serious difficulty to be sure it wasn't just too hard

-If you only came to publicly assume that the mod is an untested random fest, at less have the sympaty to explain why you think that (it can be just 5 words if you want). There's people trying to get better behind these mods ya know?

-If you dislike custom enemies, that's not my problem, go complain to them, not me. If you didn't realise, I don't like ALL custom enemies in existence, which is why I openly mocked the SSNE pack, the stupidity of Orkos existance and the fact that there's 2 unusable enemies (sorry if these were the reasons why you thought that my mod was a joke)

Cordially

And i also dont understand why was a "mappack" like this released. Was it even tested or it was just placing enemies and calling it a day. Unless its a joke mod then its understandable

Those enemies are so bad i lost motivation to mod the game. Everything is beyond broken and their authors are the laziest people on earth for releasing such broken content and still not fixing it to this day.

(timilyo80,on the first day of release, there was no list of modifications. Now everything is fine)

It's ok now. Like I said, apparently, russian player can just put their game in english to fix that issue.

Eyyy, I don't know how the hell it works, and I can't even fix it because CT never added back the option to do netrisca entries.

I didn't found any message files for custom enemies in Locales/rus ...
Just...
Just... put the game in english, idk...

Ok, so apparently Content/SeriousSamHD/Locales/rus/Messages/Enemies/Soldier.txt have an unrecognized file type, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo........

Sorry to all russian playing this mod, you will have to wait until I figure this out or until Harbinger become competent...

God damn it Soulmyr, you can't do that on my birthday! HOW COULD YA!!!

(btw ДеД, plz write what appear in the console (~). Also, I forgot to put the list of needed mods, so you might miss one of them)

Hello, I'm suing you

the game crashes when i starting a level
