Special Hard Difficulty | 317KB |
Previously called «Harder Hard». This mod adjusts «Hard» difficulty setting by adding an ability for all received damage to be critical and potentially lethal. Numerous actors can simply gib the player immedaitely in melee range (e.g. Reptiloid and Demon).
This mod also shows a message in the top-left corner (like in classic games) that writes out a taunting message when the player dies due to crit hit. The message corresponds to the last attack type of the inflictor.
In the original game, if you played in a networked game (splitscreen with one player counts too), and you get killed by Exotech Larva, "Exotech Larva reduced &s to pulp." would be printed to the screen.
Messages and all other important systems are defined in Content/Shared/Scripts/PXCritCommon.lua Lua file.

Certain messages are adjusted in appropriate game title's script folder. This is because, for instance, Reptiloid's «Punch» attack in Serious Sam TSE is a punch, but in Serious Sam 3 he doesn't punch but stomps instead.
To add adjustments to messages and other tables per game title, edit the appropriate script for the game title. For example, this snippet can be found in Content/SeriousSamHD/Scripts/CustomWorldScripts/PXCrit.lua:
