I think there would maybe be some secret levels like the Zombi starter? For example, in Catacombs level 1, we would put there a big grave that should not break without using some extra powerful weapon like Titan Maul (because Titan Maul can be buyd in Bishopia Capitol and is not easy to get so) or the strange mace in the Ice Palace and it would take something like 50 hits and then break and there woul come a zombi (no Zombor, something new, creepy, fleshripping monster that would eat you if it kills you and disappear after it?) with 50 health? And when you kill it you would get something supersecret? I think it would be great, but I don't know what do you others like about it?

Yea, I'm in favor, but I don't like you zombie idea.
If it already exists, why make it again?

I think we should have different stuff, like Secret rooms with puzzles,
A key only obtainable in one module but unlocks a strange door in another module, Killing a number of monsters with a certain item, and other things.

THAT would be GREAT!!! Very Happy

But how could we make the key thing? I made a strange module. There are Ghouls, Ghuuls and Ghasts (I made even eviler Ghoul based monster, so I don't want Zefz to change the Ghuuls into Ghasts) and evil soldier guy as a boss. I think I make the Soldier boss a superhyper evil Ghoul or something...

It's fairly simple.
You add the key to the objects folder of both modules, but only spawn it in the first one.
Then the door in the second module would check if you have that key, like normal locked doors.

No starter module. This is a difficult multiplayer coop module. You can play it single, but I cannot seem to complete it without dying.

Well, the Catacombs DO need some kind of secret (I suggested a black vampire you have to kill) to get the Vampyre class....
Or that's where I think it should be, anyway.

I am making a Secret level for Catacombs. What monsters should be there? Demons, Undead, humans, or something else? I just want to know that do I make it more like Catacoms or Abyss...?

Fewer demons more undead. Also maybe deadfall pits? Dungeon traps (spikes, gass, explosions, etc.). Lot of blood, creepy theme music.

Catacomb level 1 also had a number of puzzles.

Look at existing ones for example. Gass trap chests, deadfall traps, pits, spike traps, bear traps, exploding chests, switch riddles, floor riddles, brazier+torch secrets, etc.

Finding new original puzzles is a great thing Very Happy

OK.

Oh, and I have a question: Should there be a Ghast boss? (I edited the Ghuul and it became Ghast. It is faster and stronger. (Oh, maybe not the one I posted here, it is only faster))

I would rather not have a solid undead creature called a ghast. Check out the folklore around these words:

That's why I like completely Egobooish names like Lumpkin, Jacqueline, and such so much. No one can say that Egoboo has it wrong, AND they are funny, AND they tell us something about the creatures. (Lumkin = stupid, Jacqueline = looks like a jackal).

So what should Ghast be? I'm not good at naming things... Confused
