Well, I make it HUUUUUUUUUUGE Bishopia Capitol based level with a lot of variety. But it will still be catacomby.

Careful making big maps. EgoMap object handling system has a lot bugs in bigger maps. It is a lot of hassle making big ones.

It hasn't made a bug yet and it is HUUUUGE already... But could someone place the monsters there then later? Because I think if I place them, it will be too easy or too hard... Confused

Monsters might need to be placed in spawn.txt manually. Or with EgoMap and with a lot of backups. When EgoMap opens BIG spawn.txt files (Like bishopia), it tends to delete half of them before saving the file.

That's why you can use EgoMap for placing the object and copying the new spawn.txt with the object coordinates into your "real" spawn.txt

Well, I'll make something like that then. What kinda monsters should be there? I mean, demons and undead, but should there be bugs? The level is a little strange, maybe, because there are sooo many textures in walls and floors...

Bugs and undead are nice. Magical creatures too (Gelatinous Cube, Acid blobs, Tranches, maybe even Stalkers, etc.)

Demons are mostly in the abyss though...

OK, no demons. And gelfeets bug a little. They just go to one corner and stick there... Confused

And yeah, I'll put there tranches, with some extra scary skins. Twisted Evil

and acid blobs, but Stalkers... Can they use hatchets?

Don't think so. Unless you give them the ability to do so. What about the shuffling heap?

I'll put some of those, too! Smile

With that kinda... ewwww... skins! Twisted Evil

So everyone will puke when they see them... Twisted Evil

Should I make them a little different? I mean script, particles, etc. How can I make their blood red?

Blood is managed with particles. I think PurpleSquerkle told you how to do that. Simple method is to copy red blood from a different object to the shuffling heap.

It won't work... I copied from Butcher and rust eater, but the Shuffling heaps just disappear when killed, so i use their own particles...
