And there is, you installed my Custom Dynamic Difficulty. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

What is new/changed in this script?

• 🛠The skills now are reading from store/DDX-Matrix.txt

  Reason: An easier way to add/edit enemy skills.

• 🛠The DDX-Maplist.txt now works in reverse. With this I mean that the maps that you put here will be where the DD will not work (it will take the default skill of SC)

  Reason: It's preferable to make a BlackList instead of a WhiteList in my opinion.

• 💡I added a timer to see how much time has passed on the map.

  • ⚠️Just admins can modificate this.
  • ⚠️To modificate this, put in the console .admin_timer_mode 0-2.

  Mode 0: Deactivate the timer.
  

  

  Mode 1: In this mode the time is going to show like ( Timer: Hours : Minutes : Seconds )
  

  

  Mode 2: In this mode the timer will be progressive.
  

  

• 💡I added a way to change the velocity of the enemies depending of the difficult. It's like a multiplier.

  • ⚠️Putting a multiplier too high may not work.

  Default values:

  /***********************/
  /* Monster speed array */
  /***********************/
  private array<double> MonsterSpeedMultiplier =
  {
      1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.3, 1.6
  };

• 💡I added a way to barnacle eat more fast depending of the difficult.

  • ⚠️Putting a value too high may not work.

  Default values:

  /****************************/
  /* Barnacle speed eat array */
  /****************************/
  private array<double> BarnacleEatSpeed =
  {
     8.0, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0, 24.0
  };

• 💡I added a way to vote for the player to change the difficulty on-the-fly.

  • ⚠️There is a delay of 15 seconds between vote. To avoid spam.
  • ⚠️If the player vote more than 8 times, He will not be able to vote for 80 seconds.
  • ⚠️You can add the SteamID of the people that you don't want to vote in the DDX-Banned.txt.

  In the console:

  .diff [number] - All players
  .admin_diff [number] - Only admins. This will change the difficulty without vote
  

  In the chat:

  /vote diff [number] - All players
  /votediff [number] - All player
  

• 💡I added a way clamp the difficulty.

  • ⚠️You need to be admin to change this.
  • ⚠️They will not be able to vote under the minimum difficulty.
  • ⚠️They will not be able to vote above the maximun difficulty.
  • ⚠️This will be permanent. And restart will not change this.

  To clamp the difficulty:

  .admin_clamp_diff [min number] [max number]
  

  To disable the clamped difficulty

  .admin_clamp_diff -1 -1

💡Future Ideas

In the DDX-Maplist.txt add a way to specific the difficulty to the map, the velocity of the enemies and the barnacle eat.

Like:

hl_05_a1 <- This will disabled the difficulty in this maps.
hl_05_a1 99 <- This will put the difficulty in 99% regardless of the difficulty.
hl_05_a1 99 1.5 <- This will put the difficulty in 99% regardless of the difficulty with the monster velocity multiplier in 1.5.
hl_05_a1 99 1.5 9 <- This will put the difficulty in 99% regardless of the difficulty with the monster velocity multiplier in 1.5 and the barnacle eat velocity in 9 unities per frame to eat.
