OSJC's 'OLDSKOOL' zdoom mod - mon 20th march 2017

[Freaklore1]

I gotta say i love the flashlight+pistol combination,i dont remember seeing any peoples do this,the light seem a bit low tough,you should increase it a bit or maybe even try making it look like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQkRq9qKiEI

I know very fews mod that tried to emulate a flashlight like that but they are difficult to find or arent downloadable.

I know that 6-axis weapons mod as a flashlight that is similar like that but it need to be refiled with batteries and some map mods with dark environment doesnt have any batteries,so its not a good alternative.

There's one you can get with Dark Doom/Stealthy Doom that works okay, though it's just a basic flashlight toggle, no buttons or sprite or anything.

thanks but these flashlight mods you're throwing at me are for gzdoom and/or engines other than zdoom only. In fact I've had this all before about the flashlight in this thread:http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f= ... 30#p712788 as I said before;

"the flashlight increases the light in the room, not by a huge amount but quite a bit. you can see the difference when the flashlight/pistol reloads, or when swinging the centred flashlight. this mod is designed for ZDOOM not GZDOOM."

thats why I have software brightmaps on items and objects. in fact I wouldn't be surprised if some of the features of the mod looked a little off/bad in gzdoom. I don't use it. I like it oldskool. and before anyone asks I will not be intending to support GZdoom in the future...

oldschool! that´s the word!
many mods fail because they try to transform doom in a nextgen game!

[osjclatchford]

thanks seedzhao, nice that some if only a few people get this!

here's another update https://www.mediafire.com/?tlttn2o4az934da (see page 1 too) the nailguns are gone (unless you summon them of course.) there are no weaponslots for them now and were leftovers from something else I was working on anyway; http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f= ... 38#p776148

anyway this new version has a different secret weapon on slot 8 (at present you'll have to cheat summon or build one in for now to use it. not sure its really finished yet anyway...) I don't want the surprise spoiled so please spoiler any replies with disclosure in it please...

[Stormblade]

Hmm! Wait one question though, before I download. Is the Chainsaw left the same?! :3 Anyway, I'm going to download this now!

In the words of the Doom marine from the Doom comic....

Let's rip and tear everyone!

.....

Execution could not continue.

1 error while parsing DECORATE scripts....



how do I get it to run properly?

[seedzhao]

awesomeness!!

i love this mod, man!
the updates are very welcome!

thank you.

[osjclatchford]

Installation instructions on front page and in the readme and the mod itself. Please follow them and use zdoom v2.7.1 or newer... new update soon. Made some serious work on the secret weapon. May not be secret much longer...

[Stormblade]

???? What's secret weapon?

OK, I will do something simple.

idkfa

:3

[osjclatchford]

If I said what it was it would not be secret. Please do not spoil it for all...

[Stormblade]

I'm not. Don't worry, I keep my lips sealed! Heck I DON'T even know what it is.

[osjclatchford]

never mind the secrets out! LOL got it working fully and now its up for grabs see page one for update or get it here https://www.mediafire.com/?90crr28ebfssl6d

features some better rotations for the wolf3d-ss in monstas8.zip (thanks captainJ)
now includes fully working devastator: see spoiler for readme-entry

---

= UAC multi-launcher =
Also known as the devastator; this double barreled brute of a weapon redefines the phrase "takin' out the trash".
Based on the designs of an Earth-Defense-force prototype the UAC's multi-launcher is the latest and greatest in rocket launching technology.
The sheer brute force of the bararge of ordinance is matched only by its insane rate of fire.
If that were not enough, the weapon incorporates a tracking system allowing you to direct your fire at specific targets via the onboard tracking computer that links directly into your USSMC helmet hud system.
All excessive recoil is limited by dampeners akin to those on the bfg making the devastator ideal for sustaied attacks, however, rockets tend to be a little dangerous up close.
eats ammo like theres no tomorrow...

this weapon features a seeker-missile effect with a custom crosshair to lock on. (code and crosshair shamelessly nicked from eriances eriguns.wad) in order to make use of the devastator target-lock you will need to set your default crosshair to crosshair2 and set forcecrosshair to 0
when the crosshair says lock - the missiles will be fired direct to the target and (although not that obvious on slow targets) will track them down akin to the revenant fireballs... this is best viewed in deathmatch as the speed of the enemy player allows you to see the missile track them down
without the lock the weapon fires missiles out in a wall of ordinance that pretty much destroys everything in sight! bit expensive rocket-ammo-wise but beggers cant be choosers eh?
another feature of this weapon is an experimental version of something I've been working on. non hud muzzleflashes.
essentially the muzzleflashes are non-interacting projectiles of small explosions summonned from the barrels when fired. looks a little buggy when running sideways or backwards and seems completely hidden when running forward but its a fun feature and I wanted to leave it in...

The Devastator is the secret weapon? ....I thought it would be STG44 or MP40 or Luger P08 or something for the Wolfenstein Levels... Or maybe a Plasma Nuke.... IDK, hell maybe even a quad shotgun. Or dual-wield chainsaw in right hand and super shotgun in left hand.

[Cacobus]

This a very cool mod,and your right it does have a nice old school feel to it,but any chance you could please make the corpses,and body parts have some random hidden items such as nandes, bullets,health,ect,ect?but you would have to destroy the corpses first in order to obtain them,just a thought.

it was secret as you had to cheat to get it originally but now its on the missilelauncher randomiser so no longer secret. Oh and no mp40 or stg44 (no point to add either of those as the lmg and sigcow have those types more than covered. mp40 would just be yet another lmg clone and not server any real purpose other than frippery)and I see no reason for all those other aformentioned weapons you speak of and will NOT be adding them...

this is a fun idea... not sure I will do it to be honest but good idea none the less...
