EverythingCanDieAlternative 1.1.80

This mod makes every enemy in the game killable with configurable HP. It aims to work with any modded weapon and any modded enemy.

• Easily configurable via in game configuration menu
• You can configure the enemies health or leave enemies immortal to achieve the right balance, you can also disable my mod for enemies if you want to 100% preserve their original behaviour
• This mod removes dead enemies' corpses (configurable and compatible with mod-drop mods)
• You can activate enemy health bars as well

Differences from Original Mod

- No separate shotgun/melee weapon settings
- No Explosion Effects on death
- An alternative version of the EverythingCanDie mod from TheFluff as it did not work for me with a few modded enemies

Configuration Menu

• Start the game > host a lobby > quit the lobby > check out the EverythingCanDieAlt menu or the .cfg files
  
• You can enable preview images for some enemies (may spoiler you!) - not all enemies have preview images
• Search for specific enemies by their name or just scroll through the list

Killable Spring with 3 health

Global Settings

• Tweak some ECDA specific rules (the default is what i consider most useful)
• Activate and configure the health bar (the default is Off, remember to turn it on to use it!)
• Do bulk configuration if needed

• The config menu can be hidden / shown from the main menu with LethalConfig or inside the nwnt.EverythingCanDieAlternative.cfg under EnableConfigMenu
• Many Global Settings can be configured in LethalConfig while being inside a live round, the health bar can be configured on the fly without any issues, changing any of the rules isn't tested and mileage may vary
• Everyone needs to have this mod installed for it to work

Mod Compatibilities

I implemented some compatibilities for popular mods. Let me know if you have any issues with said mods, as testing all of them is not possible for me alone.

1.1.80

• Added a feature to show a health bar above enemies, the healtbar is NOT shown by default, its settings are found in the Global Settings under Health Bar (more info can be found in the ReadMe)
• Added beta compatibility for NaturalSelection by Fandovec03
  Click for details

  Enemies like Blob and Spider can now damage other enemies, iam not sure if every interaction is working properly yet
  Thanks to SpinoRavenger for reporting it on Discord!
• Updated the Configuration-UI to better display different Global Settings, the UI can now also be closed by pressing ESC
• Updated ReadMe

1.1.71

• Recompiled for V81 with updated dependencies
• Optimized some under the hood systems for better performance

1.1.70

• Improved the Search enemies search bar in the configuration ui, to also find enemies based on their in-game scan name. This works dynamically with all vanilla and modded enemies. The scan-name will also be displayed in the config ui. This should make finding enemies easier.
  Click for examples

  Spring can now also be found by searching Coil-Head, RADMECH can now also be found by searching Old Bird, and so on.
• Added a global setting Mute dead enemies default set to Yes
  Click for details

  If set to 'Yes', enemies corpses that are not despawned will be silenced. Helpful for enemies like Old Bird or Spore Lizard.
  Thanks to Samantha for reporting it on Discord!
• Added a global setting Set ALL Enemies corpses to: with the options Despawn Keep for bulk configuration if needed
• Added 19 preview images to the config UI, may spoiler you and your friends of how enemies look like so use with caution

1.1.68

• Fixed a harmless error message inside the logs that occurs when starting multiple lobbies without restarting the game in between
  Click to see the error message

  Error creating network messages: System.InvalidOperationException: A message with the identifier nwnt.EverythingCanDieAlternative.ECDA_HitMessage already exists! Please use a different identifier.
• Fixed scrolling in the enemy list in the configuration menu

1.1.67

• Added a global setting Set ALL Enemies to: with the options Affected Unaffected Killable Unkillable for bulk configuration if needed
• Fixed a bug, that didn't properly allow the user to configure if an enemy should be affected by the mod
• Reduced log spam when opening the UI
• Updated ReadMe with more images

1.1.66

• Added a global setting Protect Old Birds (alias Rad Mech) from their own rockets default set to 'Yes'
  Click for details

  - If set to 'Yes', Old Birds will be protected from damage caused by their rocket explosions. They won't damage themselves or other Old Birds.
  - This will have the side effect that Old Birds cannot be damaged by running into real landmines.
  - Before this update Old Birds would constantly die to their own rockets, for this old behaviour set the setting to 'No'.
  - This works with FairAi, meaning FairAI will not deal damage to Old Birds if set to 'Yes'

• Updated ReadMe
  Click for details

  Help with the .cfg files got moved to the bottom of the ReadMe.

1.1.65

• Added beta compatibility for HexiBetterShotgunFixed by Entity378
  Click for details

  Shotgun pellets now deal damage to enemies

1.1.64

• Added beta compatibility for LethalMin by NotezyTeam
  Click for details

  Pikmin now deal damage to enemies, respecting the ECDA settings
• Updated the wording inside the UI to better reflect what the despawn setting actually does, it removes the corpse when an enemy dies

1.1.63

• Overhaul of the core hit and health mechanics, aimed to lessen lagspikes in the exact moment an enemy is spawning or hit
• Updated health and damage system to allow for decimal values, e.g. LethalHands will now properly deal 0.5 damage instead of 1
• Updated maximum configurable health to 999 instead of 100
• Updated how the ECDA config menu gets inserted into the main menu, due to a very niche error that stopped the config menu from being inserted
  Click for details

  Thanks to Megoman for reporting it on Discord!
  The issue occurs when UsefulZapGun tries to add an item to its configuration list, which includes an illegal character. Like "Mario's Boombox" from CastleGrounds. This scenario crashes the MenuManager.Start method, which is (was) needed to insert the ECDA config menu
• LessLogs now doesn't require a game restart anymore
• Updated the SellBodiesFixed compatibility. The enemy Nancy will now spawn an item when killed
• Added 9 preview images to the config UI, may spoiler you and your friends of how enemies look like so use with caution

1.1.62 (unreleased) - Updated the mod from .Net v4.7.2 to netstandard2.1

1.1.61

• Updated how .Unimmortal = false effects gameplay - it will now set the games internal candie variable for the enemy to false, this will prevent them from getting killed by insta-kill causes
• Added a global setting Should immortal enemies be protected from insta-kill effects
  Click for details

  If set to NO, an immortal enemy will be able to die to insta-kill effects, if you want to preserve how the mod worked before 1.1.61 you will need to set it to NO

• Updated ReadMe

1.1.60

• Fixed that some enemies don't despawn after getting killed by a spike trap
  Click for details

  Thanks to Tomatobird8 for reporting it on Discord!

• Added a "Global Settings" button to the configuration ui for settings that affect all enemies
• Added a global setting Allow spike traps to kill enemies

1.1.59 - Fixed that preview images were not displayed in the ui... again

1.1.58 - Mod tested for V71, updated ReadMe

1.1.57 - Fixed that preview images were not displayed in the ui

1.1.56

• Added preview images for 46 enemies to the config UI. Is toggled off by default, may spoiler you and your friends of how enemies look like so use with caution
  Click for details

  - Should help users understanding what name refers to what actual enemy.
  - The preview images are screenshots I made and edited. If I didn't make a screenshot for that enemy no preview will be shown.
• Updated nearly all info log entries to be hidden when EnableInfoLogs is deactivated

1.1.55 (unreleased) - Backend stuff, updated ReadMe, network messages are now prefixed with ECDA instead of ECD

1.1.54 - Fixed Hitmarker compatibility being detected when using SellMyScrap from Zehs

1.1.53

• Added beta compatibility for Hitmarker by Zehs, not tested in a multiplayer session, let me know if you encounter any problems
  Click for details

  - The death hitmarker will now be displayed correctly

1.1.52

• Added a configuration menu to the games main menu
  Click for details

  - Can be deactivated inside nwnt.EverythingCanDieAlternative.cfg > EnableConfigMenu or inside LethalConfig or inside the menu itself.
  - Changes inside the menu take effect immediately
  - Configuration will be updated when starting a lobby now, you don't need to restart your game for the changes inside the UI to take effect
• Added EnableInfoLogs to nwnt.EverythingCanDieAlternative.cfg
  Click for details

  - This will suppress nearly all of the info logs as of 1.1.56, may help against lag spikes

1.1.51 (unreleased) - First UI-Config implementation

1.1.50

• Fixed that some enemies like Light Eater or SCP682 will not die after their configured HP reach 0
  Click for details

  - Added a more forceful way of removing enemies that resist the vanilla kill method

  - This approach should be robust for any future enemies as well

• Updated how .Unimmortal = false effects gameplay - it will now give enemies 999 vanilla HP, this won't save them from instakills
  Click for details

  Hitting such an enemy will not trigger the EverythingCanDieAlternative hit processing, this is unchanged from earlier patches

  Before this patch, enemies would revert to vanilla HP values, you can make enemies use vanilla values by setting .Enable = false

• Updated the SellBodiesFixed compatibility. The enemies Light Eater and SCP682 will now spawn an item

1.1.43

• Added beta feature, that allows you to deactivate my mod for specific enemies if you want to preserve their original behavior
  Click for details

  Inside the configuration file nwnt.EverythingCanDieAlternative_Enemy_Control.cfg you can set Enemy.Enable = false and my mod will let the vanilla game handle health, hits etc.

  This can be useful if specific enemies have built-in hit/health/death mechanisms that you want to preserve.

1.1.42

• Updated the SellBodiesFixed compatibility. The enemies SCP3166 (Gorefield) and Rabbit? will now spawn an item
  Click for details

  The original SellBodiesFixed mod does not spawn an item for them. These enemies are currently hardcoded with power level 2 and 1 items. By the way, I have no clue what mod adds the Rabbit enemy or if it even spawns naturally.

1.1.41

• Updated the SellBodiesFixed compatibility. The enemies Baldi and The Fiend will now spawn an item
  Click for details

  The original SellBodiesFixed mod does not spawn an item for them. These enemies are currently hardcoded with power level 2 items, let me know if there are more enemies that don't spawn an item with the SellBodiesFixed mod and I'll add them.
• Updated the default configuration so enemy health caps at 30, this should result in more consistent 1 shot kills when hitting an enemy with the LethalThings Rocket Launcher, this only effects new generated configs, you can still configure health to be higher

1.1.40

• Fixed Enemies not being able to kill each other like BaboonHawks vs EyelessDogs
  Click for details

  Thanks to SpinoRavenger for reporting it on Discord!

Hotfix 1.1.34 - Added SoftDependency for BrutalCompanyMinusExtraReborn

1.1.33

• Added beta compatibility for BrutalCompanyMinusExtraReborn by SoftDiamond
• Updated default health configuration, enemies like Baldi will have 1 hp instead of 0 hp now
• Updated ReadMe to better communicate mod compatibilities

1.1.32

• Updated the framework for mod compatibilities
• Added beta compatibility for LethalHands by SlapItNow
• Updated ReadMe with correct shotgun damage
  Thanks to ToastIsToasty for reporting it on Discord!

Hotfix 1.1.31 - Uploaded the correct files

1.1.30

• Fixed the creation of health configs, for not referencing original enemy hp but instead always defaulting to 3 hp
  Click for details

  Thanks to pxntxrez for reporting it on Discord!

  This fix only takes effect when you delete your existing nwnt.EverythingCanDieAlternative.cfg file or during a fresh installation in a new modpack.

  Before this fix, enemies like Forest Giant would default to 3 hp, now they default to 38 hp like in the vanilla game. You can of course still configure them back to 3 hp or whatever you like to.

  The default configuration caps enemy hp at 38. You can still manually configure hp to be higher. Why is it limited? The enemy "The Fiend" is configured with 1000 hp, I don't think having a hittable enemy with 1000 hp is what someone expects when installing my mod. 38 is already way too much for the shovel or shotgun but eh, might change the hp cap later.

1.1.20

• Fixed dead enemies not despawning by adding a feature, that despawns dead enemies
  Click for details

  You can disable this feature in the new nwnt.EverythingCanDieAlternative_Despawn_Rules.cfg by setting EnableDespawnFeature to false.

  Why should you despawn an enemy? A Coilhead will just be frozen if dead if you don't despawn it, looks awful and is bad player feedback.

  Why should you NOT despawn an enemy? Enemies like Baboon Hawks have proper death animation and proper corpses that are fine to leave as is.

  You can configure for every mob if it should be despawned or not. For a couple of vanilla enemies with death animations it is defaulted to false.

  This feature is compatible with SellBodiesFixed and EnhancedMonsters.

1.1.10

• Fixed an error, where the enemies could only be hit on the first moon, but not on any moon afterwards in the same playthrough/session
  Click to see the error message

  Error setting up enemy: A variable with the identifier nwnt.EverythingCanDieAlternative.ECD_Health_1 already exists! Please use a different identifier.

1.1.00

• Fixed an issue that counted one hit two times by redoing the whole health and hit system with LethalNetworkAPI
  Click for technical notes:

  The mod now uses the LethalNetworkAPI to bypass the vanilla games hit and health system. May this lead to unforeseen problems? Perhaps, I keep an eye on it.

  Vanilla Enemy health gets set to 999 for every enemy to not to worry about.

  This mod now uses its own health tracking system based on the network id of the enemy. When a client hits an enemy the hit gets networked to the host. The host is the only source of truth and keeps track of enemy health. This means clients will no longer see how much health an enemy has inside the log as this information gets not transmitted back. When an enemy reaches 0 hp of the own health tracking the host simply calls the base games methods for killing it. Some modded enemies don't seem to despawn properly, SellBodiesFixed fixes this.

  With the 1.0.1 approach I also ran into issues with killing some vanilla enemies at 1 hp instead of zero. This is now fixed too.

• Big thanks to nyakowint for having the original mod in a public github repository to allow the community to expand on it https://github.com/nyakowint/EverythingCanDie-LC/tree/main
• As already mentioned in the readme, the creation of this mod was made possible thanks to using claude.ai (sounds like I'm putting an ad here lol). Have a good one fellas.
