DS1 & LoA Mod Development

I have started on a new project, it's called Utraean Peninsula: Zombie Apocalypse.

So I've had a look at the "Halloween Special Late Late Show" (HS LLS) map/mod and decided to share my rambling opinions of limited qualification here with you. Corrections & discussions welcome!

New thread for the second half of the Green Range map project.

Release plan: one milestone per month:
v0.6: October 2022: Blackwood Gap 2nd half & Aranoi Hills
v0.7: November 2022: Giants Forest & Sweven Grotto
v0.8: December 2022: Dripstone Caverns
v0.9: January 2023: Robbers Forest
v0.10: February 2023: Longbourne & Lupine Groves
v1.0: March 2023: final touches

This weekend I started to create a Halloween mod. Halloween is just a month away, and in October I'll also have to make a Green Range v0.6 update so that Bare Elf can finally exit the Blackwood Gap I'm planning to expand it a little before release, but the main parts are all there.

Voilà: https://github.com/foerstj/halloween/releases/tag/v0.1

As for the two original vanilla maps, I've now also set up a "remaster" of the LoA map:

Had to tweak the add_world_levels GasPy script a bit to take care of the little things LoA did differently there. Looking at you, dsx_darkgenerator_clockroom, are you an actor or not??

Anyways, hope it'll be useful if you ever get the idea of making a custom map variant of the Island of the Utraeans.

I found it a bit sad that there's virtually no visual progression from Regular to Veteran to Elite, so I set out to change that

It's gonna be more fun playing thru Veteran with some added bling-bling

Similar to my remaster of the KoE map recently (see here https://siegetheday.org/?q=node/7347), I set up the Utraean Peninsula for re-building.
