Mod that gets rid of the spiders?

Title.

Replaceable probably, removing maybe less so

It can be done. I made one once before during Early Access just prior to the commercial release, so it could always be done again. The only hitch is that there would be one spot that I know of in the game where you need to use a cheat to either unlock or noclip through a door - This is in the hallway where the door locks behind you, the lights go out, and you're first introduced to the mechsects. What the mod did was spontaneously kill every mechsect the moment that they spawned.

I might just remake this for the v1.1 files this evening just for the Hell of of it as there really isn't all that much to it as far as I recall (That was 2 years ago though).

EDIT: Done. I'll upload it and make it available online after dinner.

Ah, cool workaround dwtietz. We can count on you for Ion Fury related fixes. :)

Where is it uploaded?

I haven't uploaded it just yet. I'm going to fiddle with the file a bit more yet and possibly turn it into a tiny grp file that should make it easier to load without interfering with the original base game mode if there were other users of the same system that might not want to use the same mod.

I'll post the link here as soon as it is available online.

Thanks this is epic. Not sure if it's worth using if I have to guess if I need to noclip to finish the level though.

There's only one spot that immediately comes to mind. This is in map Z1A2 when you're first introduced to the mechsects. You enter a corridor near the start of the map and the door closes behind you. You get a message from Heskel on the monitor, the lights go out (then flashing red lights) and a bunch of mechsects swarm at you and the door leading back out of the corridor doesn't open until you've killed them all. This is the only spot that I can think of at the moment.

Why? Who cares. It's a fake 2d image with heskels head on a little robot, not even really a spider

It's not about them being scary. I just dislike the enemy. They are not fun to kill and provide zero challenge aside from being annoying.

This is one of the weirdest complaints about something I have ever read

It's weird for someone to not enjoy a certain enemy in a game? Fair enough I guess.

I'm pretty sure that each and every player is entitled to have their own opinion, and they do not require your authorization to hold that opinion, even if it differs from your own.

Not necessarily for the OP of this topic thread, but this mod was originally created for someone that has arachnophobia and was experiencing anxiety and chest pains caused by the mechsects jumping up in his face. Congratulations - You don't have this phobia, but some people do, and it isn't your place to tell them how they should feel or react under such circumstances.

Small, fast enemies are supposed to be disliked somewhat. I think the game could've done with fewer of them though. Maybe the new mode that comes with the expansion pack will even things out a bit for those who don't like them.

They are a bit more fun to kill when you bash their heads in with the Electrifryer: watch them go pop. Or by using explosives. In general in this game don't be afraid to use explosives. Also don't be afraid to look around for secrets so you have more explosive ammo to spend on enemies.
