Night of Revenge "HELLGATE: Descent Into Darkness" vHellGate 1.2.5 + (Game 1.0.7)

Change-Log 1.2.5 (Update)
• DeepForest Mod
Added the latest version of DeepForest Mod.
• Splash Options
New Options menu on the HellGate splash: Gore Content, Easy/Medium/Hard difficulty presets, Language, Done/Exit.

| Difficulty copies both NoREroMod.cfg and NoREroMod_HellGate.cfg from BepInEx/config/{EASY|MEDIUM|HARD}/ (restart required). |
Language can be changed later from Options (saves and quits; relaunch to apply).
Language/Gore preferences are preserved when switching difficulty.

• Boot Tips & Tutorial Guide
Localized loading tips during startup hydrate, then an illustrated mute video guide (Back/Pause/Forward, Done → splash) in all 10 HellGate languages.

• DeadArmor (SlaveBigAxe / OtherSlavebigAxe)
Breaking girl armor (NikuArmor) plays a PNG death clip + sound.
While armored, SlaveBigAxe grab-via-attack becomes a short hold + knockdown throw instead of an H-snap; after the armor breaks, normal grab/H return.
Gated by splash Gore Content (throw remains separately configurable).

• MeatArmor / SlaveBigAxe H
Localized H-scene dialogue for SlaveBigAxe.
After the fade/game-over path, Aradia can swap into the armored MeatArmor walk patrol (camera follow, proper escape back to combat/H).

• HellTraps
New lethal lightning button trap (lightningTrap_button): warning → strike VFX → lethal hit + CustomDeath clip if you stay on the button.
Same Gore gate as other lethal traps.

• Gore Content
Splash toggle (General.EnableGoreContent) turns DeadArmor death clips and CustomDeath lethal traps on/off.

• Difficulty Presets
Easy is much more forgiving (lower enemy/elite HP, generous QTE/struggle SP).
Medium/Hard remain the standard/hard HellGate pressure.
HP potion escape (allowPotionEasyEscape) enabled on all presets.
Shelter Attack trigger chance default set to 5%.

• DeepForest Compatibility
Fixed Take Vengeance / respawn falling into the void after saving at DeepForest altars (Woods House and related maps no longer reuse the Underground Church altar id).

• MindBroken Bad End
Minimizing / Alt+Tab during the 100% countdown no longer dumps the whole pause into one frame (no instant Bad End on restore).

• Factions / Spawn

| Bandits ↔ mafia friendly; inquisition ≡ church alias; rescued hostages inherit |faction=. |
Spawn lines X,Y,Key default count to 1; spawn/cache hardenings (trap_mokubaenemy from Prison, typo alias InchchurchSlave → InchurchSlave).

• Combat / H Fixes
Struggle/QTE lockouts respect vanilla easy-escape and struggle level 10 (no forced 15s unlock).
Faction AI no longer void-punches during WallHip/trap H.
blackoozetypeb can re-arm after struggle escape.
Credits list refreshed.

Change-Log 1.2.4 Hotfix

• Fixed a bug where using Take Vengeance after dying in the underground church could drop you into the void if you had saved at the local altar.

• Fixed a bug with goblins where Aradia’s body could disappear until the grab animation started.

Change-Log 1.2.4 (Update)

• Pregnancy & Offspring: Added separate HellGate pregnancy logic via Pregnancy.Enable (separate from vanilla NoREroMod pregnancy). Womb meter fills during H/creampies; full meter triggers conception, then three trimesters with rising debuffs. After birth, the slime becomes a child (archetype from the father’s faction). Children live in the ParishChurch hideout and grant permanent bonuses while there (they do not fight yet). Growth stages (0→3) advance after successful Shelter Attack defense. Taking Vengeance or dying clears active pregnancy and semen, but hideout children remain. Optional pregnancy/womb reset at the Altar (cfg).​• Shelter Attack: Having living children in the hideout triggers a raid chance when leaving ParishChurch (default chance 20%). A countdown timer forces a return to fight enemy waves; winning grants +1 growth stage, while losing means children may be taken. Raid UI and texts are fully localized into all 10 HellGate languages.​• Combat / Grab Adjustments: Grab-via-attack can no longer trigger during dash, parry, or post-hit i-frames. Blocking now grants full grab immunity by default via GrabBlockImmunity (old "through-block grab" mechanic can still be enabled in the config). If base grab chances are set to 0, MindBroken/HP/Pleasure scaling bonuses will no longer artificially force a grab.​• H-Scene Camera: Toned down the initial Start Zoom intensity; Spacebar zoom cycle is now standardized to 1.5 → 3 → 5. Fatality camera skip now applies strictly to the RequiemKnight family (void camera). Butcher, BossScapegoat, and other Fatality grabs retain their unique Start Zoom and panning effects.​• Struggle: Fixed an issue where players could prematurely escape grab animations (like WallHip) at ~50% SP; the struggle bar must now be fully filled.​• Kinoko: Fixed H-scene softlocks when transitioning from START6 → ERO; climax (FIN) now correctly fills the womb meter.​• TouzokuAxe: Fixed womb fill trigger to occur exactly on climax rather than at the start of the FIN animation.​• MummyMan: Anal H-scenes no longer incorrectly fill the womb meter. Fixed handoff logic on JIGO; the next scene now starts mid-chain, and previous elements remain hidden until standing up.​• Localization Fix: Replaced three accidental Chinese dialogue files for Aradia in the Korean (KR) localization with proper Korean text.​
Change-Log 1.2.3

• QTE: Button position X/Y now read from config.

• Factions: Magic provocation fixed.

• Tighter activation radius.

• Combat commit keeps inter-faction fights going after you leave.

• Crawling enemy roster moved to demons.

• Retaliation added when hit by another faction.

• Spawn: Wolf "left" spawn suffix no longer breaks AI facing.

• ScapegoatEntrance → InundergroundChurch enemies now spawn without needing an F11 reload.

• HellGate witchslaveslime rescues now award 30–60 gold instead of a ring.

• Combat recovery: Knockdown stand-up jump restored.

• Pregnancy/birth scenes no longer interrupt gameplay or show double sprites.

• HUD: Rage, MindBroken, Factions, and Gold now hide during the NPC diary reader (not just the inventory menu).

• H-scenes: Dialogue bubbles clear immediately on escape.

• EventCore: Added Broker toll + bandit sex_paid encounters (consent grab, ambush branches, session hostility).

• 10-language broker text fixes.

• Splash language selection now reloads EventCore modals.

• Defaults: Threat sounds turned off for new installs.

• Decor catalog renamed to DECOR_CATALOG.txt.

Change-Log 1.2.2 (Hotfix Update)

• Cutscenes: Fixed phantom attacks/dashes when clicking text to skip dialogues (VanillaStoryEventInputGuard blocks attack, magic, step, and dash input during story events).

• BossTouzokuCustom: Fixed a softlock during H-scenes where struggle and QTE wouldn't trigger due to player control flags being locked.

• Map & Respawn: Fixed infinite falling through the map after selecting "Vengeance" in the Nightless City bar (Ragdoom scene mismatch forced spawn at a floorless altar position).

• White Cathedral Rooftop: Fixed mid-air respawn bug where the character would float above the ground after dying on the roof.

• H-Scenes (Handoff): Fixed a bug where the character would visually stand up early instead of staying down during group handoffs (affects Touzoku, Goblins, Inquisition, Vagrant, Dorei, Mutude, CrowInquisition, Kakasi, Bigoni, Mafia).

• Kakasi Pass Logic: Fully fixed the bug chain after Kakasi handoffs, including mesh invisibility, immediate instant re-grabs, and broken AI walk behaviors.

• ScapegoatEntrance: Vanilla TALK-dialogue triggers and Rage TimeSlowMo (T key) now function properly and are no longer overwritten/reset every frame while the field boss is alive.

• Combat Distance: Fixed enemies landing hits from an extreme distance (9+ units) due to oversized boss weapon colliders; added a specific cap for Wolf lunge attacks.

• Gold Drops: Fixed the gold pile not spawning immediately upon death; rebalanced gold nodes on FirstMap to 1–3 gold per point.

• HUD Auto-Hide: Modded widgets (Rage, MindBroken, Factions) now properly hide when opening the vanilla fullscreen inventory or status menu.

• Minor UI & Optimization: Fixed French text clipping ("éservé" instead of "réservé") on the splash screen, and added a 5-second throttle to prevent log spam when the decor catalog file is missing.

Change-Log 1.2.1 (Hotfix)

• Struggle: allowPotionEasyEscape — HP potion escape in QTE works again (Q / item; requires a restart after editing the cfg).

• QTE HUD: ButtonPositionX / ButtonPositionY — adjusts the position of the button row from NoREroMod_HellGate.cfg (ButtonSpacing now controls only the distance between keys).

• Field of View: Disabled by default — enemies are always visible; configured in HellGate.cfg, not in NoREroMod.cfg.

• Factions: Magic provocation works when PlayerProvocationFromMagic = true (applies to projectiles after casting).

• Manifesto: Updated (v1.2.1, 10 languages).

• Fixes: Editing BepInEx/config/NoREroMod_HellGate.cfg requires a full game restart.

Features:

**Full List of Systems (110+ Modules)

01. CORE PARAMETERS & CONFIGURATION**
HELLGATE is a massive total conversion expansion for Night of Revenge. It requires BepInEx and the core NoREroMod Rebalance build by Asome10121, customized for HellGate — this core build is fully integrated into the mod package (HellGate installs directly on top of it). Practically everything can be tuned without writing a single line of code: all adjustments are handled via NoREroMod_HellGate.cfg and the plaintext configuration files inside the mod archive folder, following the guidelines provided in the HELLGATE_MANIFESTO.

• Full localization in 10 languages: EN, RU, CN, JP, KR, DE, FR, ES, PT, BR — menus, dialogue, events.
• Rage, MindBroken, gold, and reputation persist with normal game saves.
• In the archive: the Manifesto reference (10 languages) — what each setting does and how to tune it — plus QTE_3.0_PLAYER_GUIDE and SPAWN_SYSTEM_GUIDE.

02. COMBAT & TACTICS
Combat is faster and harsher. Enemies pressure you up close; each type behaves differently (bandits rush into melee, the spear slave is more likely to jab with the candelabra than flee if you close in).
• Vengeance Strike — a powerful counter with slow-motion; spends Rage charge (15% by default).
• Block in jump and mid-air (idea by Krongorka).
• Combat camera (V key) — three view distances, only outside H-scenes.
• Special witch greatsword animations (witch greatsword now as fast as a short blade). RAGE animations revised for some weapons.
• New hit sounds, visual tweaks, optimization.

03. RAGE & TIME SLOW
Rage builds from kills — a little from normal enemies, more from bosses. Activate with G. Three tiers that spend charge on activation: 30% / 60% / 100%.
While Rage is active (any tier):
• all hits are critical, magic hits harder;
• attacks restore stamina;
• cannot be grabbed or knocked down — damage still applies, grabs and knockdowns are blocked;
• Aradia's mind slowly breaks (+0.5% per second).
Tier I (30%) — 5 seconds, only outside H-scenes.
Tier II (60%) — 10 seconds + can break out of an H-scene. No kill within 5 sec — mind breaks faster.
Tier III (100%) — 15 seconds + demonic wings for the full duration. Same penalty without kills.
Time Slow (T key) — tactical slow-motion fueled by Rage, costly for your sanity.
Holding high Rage without activating it slowly raises MindBroken.
Dedicated Rage UI: banner, bar, tier indicators.

04. MINDBROKEN
The higher the madness, the worse grab resistance, the higher H-scene chance, the stronger screen distortions.
• Inner Voice — dark on-screen messages.
• Recovery in combat; bosses grant a separate bonus.
• Some enemies have their own break logic (crows, inquisitors, mutants, etc.).
• At 100% — a timer to an alternate visual-novel-style ending. Revenge button — continue the main game. Custom finale story can be added via config files.
• Arousal bar and escape difficulty — tunable in the HellGate config.

05. GRABS, QTE, ENEMY HANDOFF
A melee hit can drag you into an H-scene — chance shown on screen (depends on HP, Rage, and MindBroken). Block and high Rage protect you. Landing on an enemy no longer soft-locks the game.
• HellGate QTE 3.0 and resistance — built on the NoREroMod struggle window and timing, with extra HellGate mechanics on top.
• Handoff — after an animation cycle, an enemy passes Aradia to another, even across factions.
• Dirty talk and handoff lines — 10 languages, editable in dialogue files.
• Spectators queue and comment (crossbow slave has separate waiting animations).
• H-scene: grab zoom, time slow, full arrow-key camera control, dark background, X-ray, sound captions, and other H-scene effects.
• Enemy voice threats (English voice acting; other languages — text only).

06. FACTIONS & REPUTATION
Six unique factions and 3 sub-factions fight and clash with each other.
• Reputation from −100 to +100 — relations panel on H; affects how far enemies spot you and how fast they react.
• At +65% and above — faction enemies are peaceful, won't strike first unless you provoke with an attack or magic.
• Mercy triggers on dodge during an enemy attack; 7 seconds without hitting = +5% reputation; hit after 4 sec = −5%.
• World-event NPCs stay passive until you resolve dialogue.
• After an H-scene, reputation rises only on a real handoff between enemies, not on escape.

07. WORLD EVENTS (EVENTCORE)
Choice dialogue (up to 5 options), character portraits, 10 languages.
• Several dialogue scenarios (more coming)
• Broker gate — 500 gold toll, negotiation or bandit ambush.
• Bandit social scene — they offer Aradia money (amount scales with MindBroken): refuse, haggle, Rage, H-scene, or peaceful outcome.
• Map ambushes — Aradia "senses" danger; watch her thoughts on screen.
• Boss reinforcement on knockdown at specific points.

08. GOLD
Separate currency. Pick up with E.
• Drops from enemies; drop and loss rates in config.
• Losses: 3% chance to lose 1–3 coins on hit; 1% of wallet on knockdown; 10% on death — pile at corpse like Souls, not recoverable.
• Gold counter bottom-left; sound and floating numbers.
• Earn in H-scenes; piles on maps.
• Saves per slot with the game.

09. NEW ENEMIES & TRAPS ON MAPS, REWORKED LOCATIONS
Maps gain new enemies, traps, decor, gold, hostages — some fixed, some random chance (70–80% for regular mobs).
• Already on FirstMap, VillageMain, Scapegoat; more maps added in micro-updates.
• Bosses, special events, and traps — always in place, almost always.
• Caching many objects takes time; the game's initial loading screen may run longer — from 30 sec to 1.5 min.

10. CUSTOM ENEMIES, GORE & PORTRAIT
• Field Boss Touzoku (1200 HP, not an arena boss), Bigoni_Brother, custom mafia boss, slime Biscord, Wolf by Nephilim50.
• Lethal GORE traps — magic and cocoon, custom death scene. (Can be disabled in config; see MANIFESTO)
• Aradia portrait instead of the default face — changes with state (combat, H, Rage, possession).
In the archive — the Manifesto reference: what you can tune and how, no coding required.
