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

[Valherran]

I tried this out today, it wasn't half bad, some things I would like to address:

1. No Reload function: I know you want to keep this removed, but for some of us it is ANNOYING not being able to reload your guns. I would rather clip functions be removed than not having a reload function, but I would much prefer a reload function. Not having this gets you killed in a lot of maps, I would at least recommend a mutator.

2. Faster Weapon Switch: It is needed, bad. Got too many weapons for that current switch speed.

3. Knife to replace Fists Permanently: There is no reason what so ever to use fists when Knife is superior, so why should it take up a sub weapon slot?

4. Grenade too weak: As it says, only does the amount of a rocket, kind of useless. Also could use a separate quick function like the kick.

5. Kick needs a buff: It is really too weak to even bother using. Brutal Doom had it perfect (minus the berserk damage) Maybe it could be similar?

6. Nuke: This thing was... definitely a nuke, but the explosion was misleading to the actual radius. What it needs is a calculated safe distance by percentage meter that is always visible by the aimer. This will help players not kill themselves so easily firing this from a rough estimated 100 ft away and expecting a not so large blast zone.

Other than that the MOD isn't half bad, just needs tweaking and improving on the gun animations.

although I appreciate the time you've taken to 'evaluate' the points you have mentioned will not be changed in the next version.

for example. the nuke is kinda a joke weapon and is intended to be like (and ridiculously dangerous to use as) killerquakepack's nuke.

@osjclatchford
I made some changes to osjc_firearms18.pk3 so the ejecting casings are visible for the player. If you want it, please PM me and i send it to you and you can do whatever you want with it.

Software = No lights
Need to be on opengl to work.

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. as for the flares, they are designed purely as markers for maze-like maps. kind of pointless frippery I know but I wanted them in so here they are. also worth pointing out that ALL of this is in the readme...

as for opengl: do you mean gzdoom? as I've not designed this mod with this engine in mind.
how does it fare up in gzdoom then?

hehehe, I think I made a mistake. I do not use opengl but flashlights and flares, usually have a function more in opengl. I thought the tuintje had a problem with it.

Is there a way to download from 4shared without signing up for it?

[TheMightyHeracross]

No, that's why it sucks.
Use Dropbox instead.

[Morter]

If there is a dropbox mirror I'll be happy to use it
