(SUBMISSION) Enigma Of Hell

Enigma of Hell - more powerful version of Belphegor, has more HP and is a bit bigger. It's primary attack consists of 4 fireballs, as a special attack - throws 7 fireballs at once.

That screenshot isn't really helpful, you should attach actual sprites from your WAD instead, like GRDHA1.png

There is already a Guardian Of Hell in the repository, so I guess you have to rename this one before it can be accepted.

The monster doesn't have any brightmaps which looks kinda odd when it's in a dark area. For the most part you could use the Baron Of Hell's brightmap definitions that come with GZdoom's brightmaps.pk3, but for your new attack sprites you'd have to make new brightmaps

 

Alright, thanks

Got this error on startup:

Works fine now.

Gave the big guy a test run and noticed a few things.

1. he infights with Barons and Hellknights, not sure if that's intended. The 7x attack almost guarantees infighting with all the other monsters around the player so I'd probably add him to the BaronOfHell species to mitigate that a bit, but then again he uses a different projectile, so maybe it's fine. I guess it always depends on the map/mod he appears in.
2. he deals less melee damage on average than Barons and Hellknights. Those guys do 10-80 damage per hit, the Enigma deals exactly 32 everytime. I'd randomize that value and make it like 20-90 or something like that.

Otherwise nice monster, even though it's yet another Baron recolor I dig the colorscheme, more than most others I've seen around.

btw file is a WAD and sounds are in Doom format, not sure if that is acceptable anymore since most people switched to .pk3 and .ogg

Honestly, I don't find it interesting enough, it's a poor recolor of the baron and the attacks aren't very original either.
