Lemurian

Lemurian

Adds a playable Lemurian to the Game

Personal Thoughts

This project was started because of lots of runs, that got ended by the Elder Lemurians with their "Mega Fire Ball" attack. Out of frustration I decided to geneticaly engineer a Lemurian, better than every Lemurian Elder, to get the absolute revenge. (nothing beats an epic flamethrower battle against an Elder Lemurian :D)

Right now there are 2 abilities for every slot. Some are more "distance" and some are more "melee" focused. The Lemurian has some of it's signature moves like "shooting a fireball" or "5 spreading Fireballs from the Elder Lemurian" and also it's "Flamebreath" (a little modified though). To make things more interesting, I also added even more skills. Some are unique and some are a bit like abilities from other survivors (Flameburst = Commando's special, Fiery Leap = Acrid's utility).

The Lemurian also "should be balanced" if you think it is too weak or too strong, then you're able to change some config values like "Base Health", "Base Damage", "Damage Growth" etc. in /BepInEx/config/com.tim.lemurian.cfg . Also i would realy appreciate feedback for this kind of matter.

Please see the ability infos down here, since ingame info is shortened!

Gameplay

You should try to get as many stacks of the fire buff to push the damage of the special abilites. Since it's also increasing the chance to ignite enemies, "Death Mark" should also be on your list of usefull items. Some abilities do focus more on melee or distance playstyle. If you're unsure what to choose, start with the distance skills.

Abilities and Tips

As a master of fire, the Lemurian is able to build up a buff that increases the chance to ignite enemies on hit. Every stack increases the chance for 1%. Some abilities also gain a damage buff in different kind of ways. A Fire Buff stack lasts for 15 seconds, except the ones, gained by Flameburst. Since you can get a good load with this skill, these stacks only last 10 seconds.

• This means that every attack, except the special abilities, grant you Fire Buff stacks. The special abilities profit from these buff stacks.
• Attacks like "Fireball", "FireBalls" and "Flameburst" give you 1 stack for every projectile shot. (For these three attacks, I wasn't able to implement an "on hit" way of giving buffs)
• Attacks like "Fire Roar", "Fiery Leap" and "Detonation" give you 1 stack for every enemy hit.

Primary Fireball: (Distance) Shoot a fireball that deals 150% damage. Grants 1 Firebuff stack per use.

• (I wasn't able to implement getting a buff "on hit")

Fire Roar: (Melee) Charge up an explosive roar that deals 300%-500% damage with an explosion (3m radius) in front of the Lemurian. Gain Fire Buff stacks for every enemy hit.

• Has a charge duration, that shortens with attack speed. In general it works a little bit like Artificer's Novabomb charge
• You can release quickly to cast more attacks or wait to cast stronger attacks

Secondary Fireballs: (Distance/Melee) Shoot 5 fireballs that deal 350% damage each. Grants 5 Firebuff stacks per use. (This attack spreads horizontally)

• (I wasn't able to implement getting a buff "on hit")
• Since the projectiles spread horizontally, I recommend using this skill rather as melee attack, than as disctance attack

Flameburst: (Distance) Fire 5 fast flame bolts that deal 125% damage each. Shoot more bolts the more Fire Buff stacks you have. (1 bolt for every 10 stacks)

• (I wasn't able to implement getting a buff "on hit")
• Works somehow like Commondo's special ability
• Instead of getting more projectiles with attack speed, you shoot more projectiles the more fire buff stacks you have
• remember, the more porjectiles you shoot, the more buff stacks you get ;)

Utility Fiery Leap: (Melee) Leap to the enemy and and burn the ground under you after landing. The ground burns enemies and slows them down. Grants 1 Firebuff stack for every enemy hit on impact.

• Works somehow like Acrid's leap attack, the impact does no damage, though

Detonation: (Distance) Cast an explosion that deals 1000%-1250% damage in a 12,5m - 7,5m radius. Ignites on hit. (50m maximum distance)

• Oh man, have fun... ;) (can't be used while primary ability is held down/ in use)
• The radius starts at 12,5m and gets smaller, to 7.5m after about 1 second. The greater the radius, the lower the damage (12.5m = 1000%, 7.5m = 1250%)
• Charge duration does not scale with attack speed, it would be useless after getting some attack speed. also this makes it viable for bigger range/more enemies, or lower range/strong enemies
• Credit to LuaFubuki for inspring this attack, check out his VoidReaver mod!

Special Flamebreath: Fire a flamebreath that deals 100% damage per tick for 3 seconds. (10 ticks/s) Every Firebuff stack also increases the damage for 1%. Gain armor boost while using Flamebreath. (25m maximum distance)

• You can move while using flamebreath with reduced speed. The armor buff should compensate this
• Proc chance is reduced on this attack becaus you get up to 30 hits/enemy
• gives you more charactermass while using, so you are not gettting kicked around while using the skill

Explosion: Explode and deal 2000% damage in a 25m radius. Damage and increases 2% for every Fire Buff stack.

• Get some Fire Buff Stacks and explode ;)
• The charge duration reduces with attack speed
• You get slowed while charging up, but also gain an armor boost for this time

Multiplayer

Should work... but I only tested it with everyone having the mod installed If you're the host, and some else is choosing the Lemurian, not every animation may be played for the host (except your own animations)

Known Issues

• Milky Chrysalis and Crowdfunder are not working due to lack of item displays. (maybe even more?)

• Detonation ist not perfectly working right now. If you use the primary skill and use Detonation, it just instantly casts an invisible explosion

• If there are more issues, then I'm sorry! I never wrote code before, but tell me if there are any, maybe I can fix them.

Big Thanks

Big thanks to LuaFubuki for answering some of my questions and actually (indirectly) got me into modding, since I realy loved his VoidReaver mod (especialy the secondary attack). Somehow one of Lemurian's utility skill is influenced by this one. Also a big thanks to the developer community, and especialy for (who was there...) harb, ideathHD, Twiner and Rob for also answering my (I guess realy stupid) questions and furthermore a very big thanks to everyone involved in maintaining this platform! :)

Contact Me

You can contact me on discord ( @Tymmey#6213 ). I'd be realy happy to get some feedback and maybe some ideas :) But since I actually don't have a clue in writing code, I'm not sure, if I can implement things.

##To Do

• Maybe the item displays... I don't have the skills though.

• Little explosion on impact for Fire Ball Primary (and again thanks to Rob for the idea:D )

• reduced Explosion base charge duration back to 2s

2.0.4

• removed splash damage from Fire Ball and added it back to Flame Burst (switched the projectiles) since i wasn't really satisfied with the balancing
• changed some descriptions i forgot to change

2.0.3

• buffed primary damage from 125% to 150% with damage scaling from Fire Buff Stacks (150 stacks needed to double the damage, Fire Roar has different scaling for the three explosions 100,125,150 to double damage)

• Fire Ball base bullet speed increased from 75 to 100
• Flame Burst get a projectile for every 7,5 Fire Buff stacks instead of 10 now.

• fixed Flame Burst and Fire Balls firing multiple projectiles in multiplayer

2.0.2

• Detonation now realy fixed!! sorry for this.
• Detonation the aimsphere is no longer going out of bounds or disappearing. if you overstep the max distance (50m), the aimsphere is always 50m away from you in any direction

2.0.1

• now actualy fixed Detonation by removing restock if you aim too far away, skill is now always exploding in a 50m range.
• lowered Detonation restock intervall from 7,5s to 7s
• lowered primary attack speed a little (aiming for ~33 Fire Buff stacks when holding primary down)
• changed the projectile of Flame Burst again, since sometimes the projectiles went through enemies without hitting, no more splash damage here
• Flame Burst still grants 1 Fire Buff stack per projectile shot, but maximum 10 now.

2.0.0

• added horns to the Lemurian, and again a very big thanks to Rob for helping (or rather for supllying the code for this :D)
• base armor reduced from 20 to 15
• base health growth per level reduced from 40 to 35 -> new config File with this version, if you have some values changed, you have to change it in the new config file 1.2.0
• polished some blasteffects
• increased primary Fire Roar damage from 100% to 125% (this makes it a little stronger than Fire Ball to balance this out.
• changed primary Fire Ball (see the description above)
• primary Fire Ball base duration decreased from 0,45s to 0,4s. damage decreased from 130% to 125%, this should make it more spammable to build up Fire Buff stacks

1.1.1

• fixed unintended behaviour from Fire Roar hitting multiple times with one blast

1.1.0

• completely reworked the alternative Primary Fire Roar (see the description above)
• updated readme
• reduced Fiery Leap impact damage from 250% to 200%, since the alternative primary is now usefull ;)

• Flame Burst was actually doing 150% damage and not 125%, corrected the description
• also increased base force from 150 to 175 (with 200 Fire Buff stacks you double the force now)
• Flame Breath cooldown reduced from 12,5 to 8 seconds, but already starting on use. also it is now cancelled by sprinting. this makes this move more viable
• Explosion radius decreased from 25m to 20m, charge up base duration increased from 2 to 2,5 seconds
• added an areaindicator while charging Explosion
• lowered the camera position a little bit, hopefully make it a little bit easier to aim, expecially with Flame Breath
• added a camera position change while casting Detonation, aiming should now be a little bit more consistent and not stuck to your body anymore. if it does, tell me please
• changed Primary Fire Ball damage from 150% to 130%, but increased the attack speed, so that the dps is now a little bit higher, this makes it a bit more usefull to gain Fire Buff stacks
• bullet speed increases now slightly with more Fire Buff stacks

1.0.5

• Fixed utility skills exploding es often as people ar participating. Big thanks to Moffein for helping me out here!

• Changed the Explosion and Detonation animations for clients in multiplayer. Before the sky turned dark when a blast attack is casted. (this was becuase of a specific animation, that people in multiplayer will not see anymore)
