Villainous Difficulty Multipliers
This modification implements a comprehensive system for adjusting game difficulty, inspired by Halo's mechanic approach. A wide array of options becomes available for players to customize their gaming experience.
Currently, the mod features 23 complexity modifiers - some missions become more challenging while others, conversely, become simplified. Future updates are planned to include additional options for increasing game difficulty.
Modifier management is handled through console commands. In single-player mode, cheat functionality must be enabled, while on servers, second-level operator privileges are required. An alternative method involves adjustments through configuration files located in the server directory.
Management Commands:
- /vdm help - displays a comprehensive list of available commands and their purposes
- /vdm list - shows all accessible difficulty modifiers and keywords for group management
- /vdm activelist - presents currently active modifiers
- /vdm check
- provides detailed description of how a specific modifier functions
For second-level operators only:
- /vdm activate
- activates selected modifier - /vdm deactivate
- deactivates selected modifier
Modifier List:
