Now. This is something I really think needs to happen. Spectres. Now don't stop reading. Seriously. It's Doom. It's pretty much the last thing that needs to be put in to make this Doom. I want to make a DoomRL Mod of the Doom Comic, and I want to make a DoomRL Mod of...well, Doom. As close to the levels as can be done. This requires spectres.
I understand that if we get together and mod, we can put spectres in ourselves, once DoomRL becomes moddable. But I'd like to get it put in anyhow. Otherwise it will take more effort. =P
Here's my two cents:
- Only introduce spectres on levels with barrels.
- Make them spawn as "." 's. A different colour. Off-black or something.
- Shooting them/explosions makes them visible for at least ten turns, or forever. They would be dark red "c" 's
- exactly same stats as demons except for: they're slightly faster, but less health.
Worst comes to worst, when you unlock DoomRL for modding, we'll get them in and show you "the light".
