Painkiller Reloverdose - What is it?
Reloverdose is a fan-made, non-commercial modification for the game Painkiller that significantly reworks the Overdose campaign.
The main changes are aimed at a total reworking of the gameplay of the whole game and rebalancing, and to give you the brightest possible experience and enjoy the real fun! As well as a huge number of fixes and many, many new secrets!


Key Features
The main key features of the modification are:
• Total reworking of the entire balance in the game: weapons, enemies, bosses, equipment on levels

• Rework and additions to the gameplay on all levels. As well as many more epic battles and unique gameplay situations!

• During the mod you will be treated to 2 new levels, one of which was made especially for this mod!

• over 80 secrets! Almost all of the old secrets have been reworked, as well as many, many new unique secrets, placed in new and old locations on the levels, which now contain not only armour and ammunition, but also all sorts of fun things to keep the player from getting bored!

• The music is a matter of taste, but in many places it has been updated, mixing orchestral compositions and heavy rock'n'roll!

• The tarot cards have also undergone changes. The pack of cards has been reshuffled, and the tasks to get them have been changed a lot, and you are presented with a nice challenge instead of a chiselled nightmare like in the vanilla version!

• Painkiller is a very buggy game, especially its Overdose campaign. But a huge effort has been made to fix a lot of bugs, from gameplay bugs (doors not opening after the end of the level, crookedly placed objects, wrong monster counting) to scripting bugs, to increase the stability of the game and minimise the number of crashes as much as possible.

And some... MORE FEATURES!
And how can we do without a few new gameplay and not only features!

• All weapons now respond to the player's camera movement

• All two-handed weapons now show Belial's left hand.

• all weapons have their own unique picking animations, fixed weapon picking icons, idle animations, added new weapon picking sounds, improved weapon position on the screen

• Q button to change to the last used weapon. Useful stuff, don't forget to use it!

• if a level has a task to collect something or perform some action - a counter will appear in the right corner of statistics

• sounds for some monsters have been updated so that they do not repeat and were more expressive. Some of the personal were voiced personally by the author of the modification!

• Belial's lines system is now working properly and he says ALL the unique lines as the levels progress, which I bet you haven't heard before!

• But if you don't like the talkative Belial (no-one is judging you) - you can always disable his voice in the game settings!

• The sounds of monsters gibbing have become many times juicier! Not only do a large number of enemies have their own unique, juicy gib sounds, but now they sound much clearer thanks to the sound output in 2D space (by default). But if you don't like it, you can always revert to the good old 3D sound.

• More settings! Now you can change language (text) inside the game, more sound settings, finer HUD'a and aiming settings, FOV settings and more!


These are not all of the documented changes, but some of the most key ones. I hope you are having as good an experience as possible while going through it!
Why would you play that?
The original Painkiller (2004) was gloomy, dark, with a prevailing oppressive atmosphere. Overdose, on the contrary, had a more colourful variety of locations and a more crazy and inadequate tone of the game.
Reloverdose takes the original idea of Overdose to the absolute: part of the project is to fix a lot of technical errors and balance of the original, and the other part is to remake the game in a crazy and fun way (within reason, of course). All to keep things interesting, of course!

More importantly... HOW to play?
The installation principle is as follows:
1. Go to the Google Drive archive and download it

Download[drive.google.com];

2. Delete the Data folder in the game folder at the following path: YourDisk/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Painkiller Black Edition/

3. Unzip the downloaded archive to the same path and enjoy!

NOTE:The mod contains alternate .exe files for launching the game and its editor, as well as some modified engine files to improve stability and performance. Be sure to agree to replace the files.

To learn more about the project, follow the news and updates, as well as share your impressions with other players - go to the official Discord server Modification!

Discord[discord.gg];

And in conclusion
Reloverdose is the work of over two long and arduous years. If you decide to play and you like it (or don't like it) - share your impressions anywhere: in Discord, here in comments or even in private messages to the author.

And if you like it VERY much, you can thank the author by gifting him some of the items in Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike 2, that sort of thing!

This problem persisted even though I followed the installation instructions. I did not change the original Painkiller.exe file when installing your mod. and now the game opens

This error usually occurs when a mod is installed incorrectly. Make sure you are doing everything correctly and try again! :headcrab:

I absolutely love this mod! Never thought I would go back re playing and enjoying Overdose again. Has to be the best Painkiller experience by far. Thanks for your long effort into making this!
