[Mutator] Patriarch HP left

Hello,
I've made a small mutator which do not change the gameplay at all, he simply adds a message in the chat window when your team wipe on the patriarch.

Mutator: Patriarch HP Left (KFPatHPLeft.u)
Description: Shows the remaining health of patriarch when the squad wipe.
Status: Whitelisted since 1 april 2011.

This looks pretty legit, I'd vote to whitelist it if you allowed me.

 

[Deadbolt]

Just tried it out, seems pretty cool.

+rep for u and hopefully TWI will whitelist this mut...

Let me rephrase. Just so I understand, it shows the Patty's health after everyone is dead?

Yes. After you die in the chat area is says patriarch hp: 325/2000 for example.

Yes. After you die in the chat area is says patriarch hp: 325/2000 for example.

But, what's the point if we're all dead? Why not make one where we can see his health while the game is still going instead of when we have "game over?"

That probably removes the purpose of being commando on the final wave. Not to mention if his HP is say, 100, your team isn't going to hide and cower like normal. It's a bit of an advantage knowing his HP constantly compared to being alone and scared he has too much.

Not to mention, if we had to update his HP every second chat spam would occur trying to keep up.

It's better if we just keep it after everyone dies so we all can go, "Aw man we were so close!" than "He's low on HP! Get him!"

Yeah it kind of frustrates me sometimes when after 3 heals you are the only one left and get killed. It would've been nice in those times to see how close you actually were to winning.

@Noboty:
Of course as HVR1 said, it's a big advantage to see his health.
Look my video around 9m10 in the kf-offices, I am finishing the patriarch with ak while he's about to heal up.

Didn't you never asked, "Damn! were close to finish him?" That's the point lol

I'd consider that cheating.

I like the way this mod is as it is now. It has a purpose and it fulfills it. If someone wants to see the patty HP, they can go commando.

It always bother me because the patty seem invincible(suicidal 6-man) after finishing 3 syringes of heal and you're the only one left of your squad.

I would like this mut whitelisted, it's fine to know how close you were.

 

[Johnny Darko]

I've been waiting for something like this to get made. It's frustrating to wipe on the Patriarch without even knowing how close you were to killing the :IS2:. I see no reason for this not to be whitelisted.

Could also be frustrating to see that he has only 5 HPs left x)

Ok small update without changing the files name.
I hope this work properly and will be added to the whitelist

Mirror added for people without account on this forum.

 

[TreefolkTrample]

I'm quite in favor of this! After getting killed off and watching my buddy try and solo the patty (dodging attacks, juggling him, xbow to the head) it would've been nice to see how much health was left!

 

[Salad Snake]

I would vote to whitelist this.

 

[crystaldragons]
