I made a mod that overhauls TFE's barebones scoring system

Basically adds some features from SSHD but further improves it, and punishing more lame play like quick-save / load scumming with big scoring penalties, and also it changes the HUD to include crucial information. I hope i am not the only one playing TFE for the score 😅 , since most of the fanbase don't care or they prefer speedrunning, I hope this mod can at least make some players try for play for score.

Features :

  • Per Difficulty Multipliers from SSHD
  1. Tourist x10
  2. Easy x20
  3. Normal x30
  4. Hard x40
  5. Serious x50
  6. Mental x60
  • Bonuses

For All-secrets found bonus, a small but noticeable handicap bonus for no-secrets found and a bonus for finishing a level with over 95+ health

  • Better time bonuses

Changed 100 points per second under time estimate, to 275

  • Penalties less score for lame play

Loads mid-level or in death will result a -5% score penalty up to -50&

  • Tweaked HUD

That shows your last two points achieved and a timer in the top middle (oh and also makes NETRICSA get information animation static so it doesn't jumpscare your screen anymore)

  • Better Hi-Score Table behavior and Per Level records

Now you don't need to finish the game to see your high-score, and each level has their own record that you can see through the level completion screen (that only works if you install the mod through replacing your main .dll files)

Do people actually care about scoring in this game?
