This is a fun add-on for the holiday season. Included in the zip is the usable mod and source code. Since I'm lazy AF I'll just copy the readme...
If you are a coder there is some useful stuff in here you might like. The snow titan throws ice boulders at you that will break apart, stick to walls, and melt away while dripping. The Christmas titan throws presents at you that explode into brightly colored balls that bounce around and explode. I took care to do the titan replacements in a way that won't break maps so use the replacements without worry. If replacing a titan would break a map then the mutator will skip that titan. As far as I could tell in usage they never created problems in any map so the protocol I used to check replacements might be of interest for you if you are doing monster replacing on a mass scale.
Spoiler
This is a simple Christmas mod to help set the festive mood for your server. It spawns colorful lights across the map, replaces the pickups with themed items, and adds a couple of new themed monsters.
Use:
ServerPackages=goChristmasLights
Mapvote/Server startup/Mutators: goChristmasLights.ChristmasLights
This mod should run OK even if other replacement mods are currently being used. It will only replace the stock items and not anything else. The titans were coded so they won't break maps if they are needed to trigger things by dying. Only stock titans will replace too, though titans with drawscale changes should be properly replaced with new titans of the same size.
Here's the ini rundown:
UseLights=true <--Use the colorful lights (they will not interfere with or react to the players or anything else)
SpawnAtInventoryOnly=false <--Set to true to make lights on pickups only (this will skip pathnodes and create far fewer lights)
lightSize=0.800000 <-- .2 is small, 1.5 is huge
LightHeight=50 <--height above the item that the light will spawn, zero will be right on the item
UseItemReplacements=true <--set to true to replace the items in the map
UseChristmasTitan=false <---only set ONE of the next three lines to true if you want to use this
UseSnowTitan=false
UseBothTitans=true <--50% chance of either one being used to replace (random)
Source code is included in the mod. You are free to use it however you like.
