It's still going to be the same old HPL2 engine (+ aamfp asset support) with all its quirks, only with some additional script functions to make your lives easier.
Hopefully that doesn't kill the party.

Nothing kills the party when it's an "update" Smile

Aw. Well when does HPL2 go open source so I can fork it and hack in things I want? :3

You think HPL2 can become Open Source?
Thinking about it makes me drool, lol.
Well, maaybe.. but i personally think no sooner than a few years (at least).

Is it possible to create a flying enemy that can swoop the player from above, or an enemy that uses projectiles to attack from a distance?

EDIT: Is it also possible to have one enemy attack and kill another?

When HPL3 is officially used on a game, perhaps we can see the version 2 become open-source, indeed...

Except perhaps in some "hacky" and very unpleasant or unsatisfying ways (unless the HPL2 engine gets heavily exposed to scripts), an enemy that swoops down to attack the player may be the only thing remotely possible.

How about a script that disables all sanity effects in the darkness (no blue thing, no lens distortion, no distortions) and, of course, being unable to see in the dark.

You can do that with an FC Smile

Right, but some folks here including me would like this to be implemented for CS's too because making a CS an FC because of the Lantern and Sanity Effects is just too tiring.
