Hello, I just recently got interested in making mods for Hexen and Heretic with Vavoom. I am working on a Heretic mod at the moment and I was curious if there are any tutorials on making monsters specificly for Heretic.

You first need to download the progs source from the site, once you have it placed on a directory where you will work you can compile it using the VCC utility (which can be obtained from the site too), then just create a new VC file using notepad and add the code for the new monster you want to do, it's not diffcult, you can see how monsters work by looking into the progs source, once you get the idea it's a piece of cake, if you have anymore questions, keep posting in the forums.

When I started my Hexen Mod I was highly inspired by Korax Mod. I was given permission to use the Damage skins included with it, I was trying to implement them into my mod. I started with the Centaur, I got most working, But there was a problem, the attack of the Centaur always used to original sprites (non-damaged ones). But I managed to get it to switch back to the damage skins after the attack was done, but I can't get the attack sprites working correctly. Thanks in advance if anyone can help me solve this.

I don't know how you are implementing, but you could add a second attack and pain frame for the damage states and make the enemies distinguish via a function if they have less health than the half of the actual health value to decide which state they should enter. I don't know if my explanation it's clear enough.

Basicly I've tried that already. I'm not sure why it only does it on these.. Would it help if I explained how I did it all? I would now but I don't have the time just yet.

Nevermind the problems I've had before. Your suggestion helped me to solve my problem. It seem that I have forgotten to tell it to use the states for the pain and attack damage skins. Basicly I forgot out of confusion on how it all works. Thanks for the help Firebrand.

I'm glad it helped out <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->.

It does help, I've now got the Centaur damage skin working and am working on the Ettin now. Everythings coming along good.
