Well, I was reading a thread on mutator suggestions, and had an idea of an amazing mutator.

Have it randomly switch things like damage, health, and abilities. A clot that launches you across the room? A scrake that explodes into bloat bile? A crawler that siren-screams? All is possible.

Also, perhaps weapon-random effects. 9mms that set zeds on fire, a m14 that makes you self-destruct, the possibilities for hilarity would never end.

This could either randomize in between waves, or every round.

Also, would it be possible to give clots the patriarchs chest-dick? Or make stalker-FPs? Or make clots have the DJ-Scully skin?

This way, KF might never get old. Just think about the hilarious situations too!:D

I believe there is actually a mutator that swaps the specimen's skin. For example a clot would become a patriarch, patriarch become a siren, gorefast become a FP.

This sounds like a great idea.

I'd prefer something a bit more structured, though, to keep the pacing right - you should still have a "basic mook" like the clot, three "special" mooks that are harder to hit or hit harder in some way, then the ranged/projectile/radius attackers followed by the huge charging guys.

What I'd like to see is some kind of "element" system that can switch the attacks around - a blast like the siren scream that's based on fire, for instance, or a bloat spit that shoots out blades. (or a blast like the siren scream that creates a wall of sharp pointy things...) Sound could ignore armour, acid could burn away armour first, stuff like that.

...and maybe the guns could be generated like this, Borderlands-style...

Would it be possible, though to make this randomized?

And, more importantly, would it be possible to add char skins into the mix? Id love to have all clots be DJ Skully, and the patriarch be that market trader:D

And, if that is possible, could you even match it with sounds files? Have them say "Let me heal you" or "******!" or "Gormless Tossers"? Because that would be hilarious!

Hmmm, a cloaked raging Fleshpound. Everyone is sure going to be scared ****less at that. :D

I like this idea.

The skin won't fit on the clot because they use a different model and UV, and making the patty as the trader may take a bit of coding and rigging but it can be done.

Yes! Just like this!

But heres a few questions:

Can you randomize the zeds it effects (per round)?

Could you even randomize the effected zed per wave?

Could you randomize which char model was used?

Is this possible with other specimen than clots?

Thanks! :D

As difficult/annoying to make as it sounds, I like it.
Crawler with FP health and damage FTW! A player with a Clot skin! It'll be like a controlled Chaos. A true challenge. Bring it forth.

You know, I might actually start trying to make this (Despite having the only programming expreince being a basic pong game.) It sounds just that awesome, and actually possible.

I thought at first when I posted this, Id be flamed down with explanations of impossibility, but instead it has actually been proven possible!

Sounds pretty interesting. Although i think i'd only play this game mode if i was bored out of my mind. I'd much rather play the WTFmod or something where things are actually changed from the original game. Not just a random clusterchuck of skins and models.

It also would be damage, health, and effects, as well as random other things thrown in.

For example, a cloaked scrake, a screaming crawler, clots that explode into bile, specimens that do the 'hit-across-room' effect, as well as skins

Not to mention weapons (although I think Ill make the m14 always self-destruct upon use)
