MonsterEscortGamemode
Provides utilities to play a pretend gamemode called Monster Escort! (WIP)
About this mod Author’s original text
Description
The definitive mod for a "pretend" MonsterEscort gamemode. Key features include:
- If a single player is playing as a MonsterMash monster, they become an 'Escort Target' (Drones excluded)
- Health bar display for the escort target along with a 'stress bar' (controlled with the escort's scroll wheel)
- All players respawn endlessly (on an increasing cooldown per death) and not at all during the teleporter (configurable)
- If the Escort Dies, the run is over.
More features to come, such as
- Item trading with the escort
- Monster adjustments and 'Raid Parties' (big group of tough monsters that spawns across the map, and focuses solely on the escort. Kill them before they have a chance to hurt the escort!)
- Item adjustments (Razorwire is op on the escort)
- Banning certain maps / map variants (large monsters cant fit through certain doors -> teleporter behind door -> monster cant start teleporter if it's supposed to normally)
- etc etc
This was initially a silly fun thing to do with friends, but as I learn to code more this may actually end up turning into a real gamemode mod instead of a 'Pretend to be this monster mod'. Either way, I hope you find some fun out of it, even if it's very manual and just a framework currently.
"Monster Escort is a made up gamemode wherein a player (me, in this case) plays as an enemy (usually a boss) and follows a "script" of sorts defined in their overview."
Recommended to play with a mod that lets you give items to others, such as ZetArtifacts or the DropItem mod (/DropItem_Addition for the visual effect). There will be a built-in feature for this in the future.
"If this was an actual gamemode it'd be so fun i swear. Perhaps I'll make it happen Mwahahaha!"
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
