Place it in the same folder as the executable.
Yes. Enable the H option without game over in the settings.

Updated hardmode mod to v1.8 with changes to help countdown phase and also prevent player from running past all monsters since the doors now stay closed until it is "safe" to open.

No link and I'm sure the lockdown feature would have to be disable in the countdown escape as running past all the monsters the right way will leave about 10+ seconds which if your fighting with the monsters will not work as some of them in the second room will consume too much time.

is there a way to have cheats and the hard mod installed at the same time? the cheats someone posted is the same file as the hard mod "Assembly-CSharp.dll"
V18a is clearly under tested as the doors don't even open after the first boss is killed and female grunts on a clean save while on a previous save(at the final boss) the Queen still seems to have it same dumb down behavior. This makes it one of the first unplayable updates that I played as I started on v14. If these versions are going to be tested further it would be wised to have a set of backup saved at bosses from one save for testing purposes before uploading and releasing.

You can also use CE to freeze your health, but some other values like clothes are changed when using the mod.

Its a good idea, but locking the doors if she's attacking should be removed. I think its fine as long as the game scans for enemies every 3 seconds or does that require too much cpu power?
Yeah its kind of annoying as you will have to wait until the doors open. Tbh a lockdown feature does seem more of a good step for an aqe hard mode if it was done were the locks are done when entering a new areas and not just any area as you can lock yourself in the first room(ship dock) from just attacking and then have to wait for them to open and this will force the player to combat in all areas with monsters that are by the door so basically once you enter that hall to get the first mp orb you would have to combat all the monsters that try to attack you but you might be able to leave after that but you might as well finish the room and the return trip if you get a spawn with them all at the back(were you just enter) your stuck with that which means the back door method would be better to get the mp orb and traveling to the hall would be pointless as the player has a high chance of failue at lower levels.

Hmm.... in other words, you don't want doors to lock that you've already cleared basically. I'm not sure if I find that annoying or not. I'll have to give it a try for myself first before I give my opinion.
But it may be possible to code it in.
If - enemies were cleared once in a room or... scan achieved no enemies at one point in a room
then - ignore lock door command
else - lock the door.
On another note, locking the doors removed the entering/exit spawn trick I mentioned before. I also have to test if having enemies drop below a floor still opens the door.
edit:
Tested the struggle. Feels better.
also, as the change log says, only if they are not near her even though there are still enemies the door will open. I also tested the distance...
Around this close is when the door starts to close. So Jacky1x5 looks like only potential followers will force you to fight.
Update - Trapped in the boss room. Not sure why.
Maybe its because even though I killed it, it's hp bar is still there?

I find doors locking because Ellen attack annoying as it can lock a monster free area's doors like the hallway after the docking area or the ship docking area. As far as I saw when testing doors dont lock from monsters on lower planes like the yellow keycard room but if a monster is coming at you and too close to the doors it locks so basically if they are pursuing and close they will lock. If you want to test it out I would recommend using an old at the final boss save and explore. As when I did it I notice I can still bypass xeno hallways and get to the boss(sentry) without fighting any xenos, but its not a perfect test as the Ellen version has better mp regen upgrades. Also because lockdowns engages from Ellen's attacks you can no longer exit a room with the shield up and have to wait for it to go down for the doors to open.

I'll check out boss 1 and will remove attack closing the doors. Attack closing was the first implementation and later I realized it is better for monsters to be able to close the doors. Don't really need both.
**Edit: for whatever reason, boss 1 doesn't die when killed (lol)

It also looks like the vanilla version already has a built in lock system for the boss room. Maybe these rooms can be excluded or this can be used instead for other rooms?
This was what I was thinking as they only appear on the boss' door when they are a new, unexplored rooms (with a boss inside) but it might be an asset placed when making the game as similar locks appear over the openings when the Queen boss fight starts which is when you interact with the reactor.
Before the first boss you passed a green door before you got to the save station also if you unlocked the yellow teleport station there is a green door across from it. The game takes inspiration from Metroid (with Samus) so backtracking to locations you explored on the map usually helps you find were you need to go next in the game. Also if you check the map for door openings you can go to those areas to see if the door is a match to any keycard you obtain in the future of your campaign.

Hotfix for boss 1 blocking doors. Vanilla code doesn't inactivate the boss object after it is killed and therefore it continues to update after death. I know this is compiled IL code and all but there is some real Spaghet in there. v1.8b
You must be registered to see the links
thks for you guys help, I get to the EVE core, but see a "Thank you for playing demo" and the door in the left is locked. How may I go on? The game says my version is V0.13
