DooM THoTH V-V-E: Vile Vamnilla Monster Pack
===========================================================================
So this is a monster pack that was built with Doom 1 and Doom 2 single player campaign progress in mind.
It changes many aspects of the monsters and was made to make single player feel even more visually atmospheric from classic style monsters.
Basically, yes there was some heavy editing done on all the monsters in all aspects except basic looks.

To this end, the monsters have been balanced more toward Classic play, BUT are an equal challenge to power levels of Brutal Doom.
High Powered weapons or Vanilla? You can do whatever you want. I tried to strike a good balance during testing and will outline most changes below.

This Version of Doom Thoth takes a detour into Vanilla land a lot more with Monster Health. The monsters have also been updated as follows

Changelog----
-- *Most* monsters are Close to vanilla speed

-- Most Monster healths are at vanilla

-- Zombiemen have vanilla health and speed but shoot a lot more.

-- Shotgunners shoot high speed imp balls.

-- Chaingunner now shoots auto-shotgun BUT has a modified AI. It still looks similar on how he acts because its a subtle difference.

-- Imps have vanilla health and have a longer charge up on their big fire ball

-- Lost Souls have EVEN LOWER health now at 40., but they are really aggressive.

-- Spectres are now Shadow Imps with a melee and a ranged attack , and higher speed than normal Imps by a lot.

-- Pinkys have have vanilla Health(you can SSG them again)

-- Pain Elementals are now Imp Elementals, but still are Pain Elementals

-- Arachnotrons no longer exist. They have been replaced by Shadow Knights. THis does not break the trigger for Dead Simple. Shadow Knights are shadow just like spectres, fling lost souls and fly.
They are not as bad as they sound. THey are actually very fun to fight since Lost Soul health is way lower than Vanilla.

-- Hell Knights are now back! They are more mobile in that they can climb. Their ranged attack is very fast and mean BUT they have a visible charge time just like the Imps.

-- Barons have vanilla health and have 3 unique attacks. Big Bright Fireball, 3-way big fireballs, and a rush-combo melee attack.
Barons DO NOT have a charge time on their range attacks but they do have animation differences to tell you what is coming.

-- CyberDemon has a new set of attacks since just dodging rockets gets boring. He also still has his death surprise.

-- Big Momma Spider has higher health set at 4000 and fires a 3-way plasma gun.

-- Shadow Archvile- He's Shadow now so he's harder to see. He changed his Vile Attack to Big Fireballs and summoning lost souls. He has higher health than vanilla.
He also has a neat but rude death surprise.

-- Monsters all use SMEXUNMON AI.

-- Yes the Mod title was deliberate.

Edit it all you want because that is what I did. This is a labor of love that I built
at home for extra challenge. It's only right that I share it and allow it to be shared.
