Haunted Harpist

Adds to the game a new enemy/monster called the Haunted Harpist.

The Haunted Harpist is an enemy that initially roams the map while playing its haunting melody on the harp. If provoked during its performance—whether by excessive noise, stunning, or direct attack—the Haunted Harpist will cease its serene music, dropping its harp to engage aggressively with anyone it perceives.

Dealing with the angry ghost may prove difficult, but it is worth it to obtain the harp.

The Phantom Piper & Ethereal Enforcer

The Phantom Piper plays the bagpipes.

Unlike the Haunted Harpist, the Phantom Piper is scared of players and will run away, bagpipes in hand, when provoked.

Although luckily for him, he is always escorted by his own Ethereal Enforcers.

FAQ

I never see the ghosts, where do they spawn?

By default, they all spawn only on Dine, with the Haunted Harpist having an "uncommon" spawn rate and the Phantom Piper having a "rare" spawn rate.

Can I configure the spawn values?

Yes, the spawn values for the ghosts are fully customizeable in the configs.

Why are the Ethereal Enforcers so overpowered?

The Phantom Piper and his escorts are supposed to be a rare enemy in the game, with a high risk - high reward for trying to steal the bagpipes.

Even though they have a shield and 6 HP (configurable), they have big weaknesses which can be easily exploited (some are obvious, some of them aren't so).

Does this mod support v50?

Yes

I found a bug, where can I report it?

I really appreciate bug reports, so feel free to report them in the Lethal Company Modding Discord or create a new issue on my GitHub page

Future Update: Version 2

Version 2 of the Haunted Harpist will be a complete rework of the mod. It will add several more ghosts, mini-boss ghosts and a main boss ghost.

These ghosts will also be the main entities that you will see in the WIP Luigi's Mansion dungeon interior. The main idea is that these ghosts will be able to interact with their environment (the Luigi's Mansion interior), creating a better and more immersive experience.

1.3.9 Phantom Piper & Ethereal Enforcer OUT OF BETA

• Updated the mod to work with the newest v50 update
• A few minor bug fixes
• There is still a small thing I want to fix to do with how the Ethereal Enforcers escort the Phantom Piper, but apart from that I am happy with taking these ghosts out of beta

1.3.8

• Fixed bug where the enforcer ghost shield would still show even after disabling it in the config
• Lowered the spawn rates of the ghosts due to v50 changing how they work in some way

1.3.7

• Fixed bug stopping the mod to be loaded because v50 doesn't have the enemy power level variable for some reason

1.3.6

• Accidentally uploaded the wrong version. I'm incrementing the version to 1.3.6 for clarity

1.3.5

• The Lethallib version has been updated the Haunted Harpist works with v50, but the Phantom Piper is a bit buggy (in v50)

1.3.4

• Made the Phantom Piper's exit teleport bigger.
• Added a shield to the Ethereal Enforcer. The shield absorbs a single hit regardless of damage. The shield then takes a specified amount of time (configurable) to regenerate.
• Ethereal Enforcers should hunt separately now.
• Added sound effect to the Phantom Piper's exit teleport.
• Added pick-up and drop sound effects to bagpipes.
• Added drop sound effect to harp.
• Added proper scrap icons for the harp and bagpipes.
• Changed the default spawn rate of the Phantom Piper from 0 to 5. It might mess up the value that you put there if you changed it. I'm confident that the Phantom Piper and Ethereal Enforcers are stable for regular people to use, but ill keep it in "beta" for a few more days.

1.3.3

• Ethereal Enforcer now has a delay between seeing a player, and shooting them.
• The Ethereal Enforcer's reload time is now longer.
• The Ethereal Enforcer's turn speed is now slower, and customizable.

• The bagpipes now disappear properly when the Phantom Piper manages to escape out the map.

1.3.2

• Fixed the bagpipes rotation when a player is holding them.
• Fixed bug where the shotguns dropped by the Ethereal Enforcer didnt work.
• Added AsyncLoggers as a soft dependency. Not because this mod needs it but like the DissonanceLagFix mod, its just free fps for no cost.

1.3.1

• Fixed bug where when a Phantom Piper or Ethereal Enforcer was provoked, unless the enforcer's could see the player, they would not agro onto them.
• Fixed the messed up config (I really suggest you delete your config so it can regenerate).

1.3.0 Phantom Piper & Ethereal Enforcer BETA

• See readme for more details.

1.2.9

• Actually fixed the bug where only the host player would see the ghost's eyes turn red this time.

• Added the following configs:

  • Harp Ghost's view width.
  • Harp Ghost's view range.
  • Harp Ghost's proximity awareness.
  • Whether the Harp Ghost can take damage from non-player entities.
  • An insane amount of audio setting configs for the harp. I'm not going to write them all down because there are loads (don't mess with them if you don't know what you are doing though).

1.2.8

• Added the following configs:

  • Harp Ghost's max speed in chase mode
  • Harp Ghost's max acceleration in chase mode
  • Harp Ghost enable red eyes when angry (its true by default)
  • Harp Ghost's attack cooldown
  • Harp Ghost's attack area length (how far the attack area reaches out pretty much)
  • Harp Ghost's ability to hear players to aid its search when angry (true by default)

• Changed the max open door speed config to "open door speed multiplier when in chase mode" because the previous one was a bit useless and didnt really make sense

• Fixed bug where only the host player would see the ghost's eyes turn red

1.2.7

• The harp ghost's eyes turn red when angry
• Reduced lag when the harp spawns (hopefully)

1.2.6

1.2.4

• Fixed bug that makes the harp play different music for different people
• Changed the harp ghost's default attack damage to 45 from 35 (you can change the value with configs)
• Made the plugin try to load the instruments' audio files on startup to hopefully kill the lag caused when a harp is first played (music) in a game. The DissonanceLagFix mod is also now added as a dependency to help with the lag just in-case the plugin was unable to load the audio files on startup.

1.2.3

• Fixed disappearing harps bug
• Fixed double harps appearing when ghost gets annoyed
• Changed network events to not static (which caused a plethora of other bugs)
