Anything that will mass-delete monsters?

[invictius]

I have a slaughterfest/invasion wad that I really like (invasion uac, the french one) and even with the fast weapons and unlimited ammo you get in single player, the maps are a chore. Can I somehow delete 90% of the monsters in a map without having to be able to do it by hand? Or can I kill all monsters of a single type with the kill command in zdoom? Or somehow just some kill command that doesn't kill every single thing?

Yes. You can write a monster randomizer in DECORATE for each monster type, that will spawn the respective monster only X % of the time, otherwise do nothing and disappear.

Yes. Type "kill <classname>" into the console, where <classname> is a monster type. See here for monster classnames in Doom.

DropItem "BaronOfHell", 64, 1

Is a 1 in 64 chance of spawning a baron?

No, it's a 64 in 256 chance of spawning a baron. And beware that this only works if the spawner inherits from RandomSpawner class.
