[3DGE] Doom Forever (happy new year!)

Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.
Forum rules
The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

Please read the full rules for more details.

Is that STILL a problem (And I am talking about in-game)? I thought I fixed it. If that's still so, I think it is as widescreen friendly as I can get it unless someone could edit the picture itself to widen it.

I present here the biggest update yet.

Notable changes, features, additions, etc.:

* Idle frames and smooth(er) walking animations for monsters
* Speed of the Super Shotguns reload is now a little more accurate to vanilla DOOM (it was much, much faster)
* The chainsaw now wobbles during attack
* Lots of new monster deaths (for the zombieman, shotgun guy, chaingun commando, imp and demon)
* Additional sound effects for the SS from the 3DO port of Wolfenstein 3D
* Lots of visual additions, improvements, etc.
* Additional marine corpses and gore (decoration sprites)
* Slightly re-worked gib mechanics
* Gibs no longer disappear
* The shotgun will now occasionally jam/fire a dud
* Beefier firing sound for the super shotgun (sawed off)
* Knelled enemies can now be gibbed
* New screaming sounds for when zombies are engulfed in flames
* New deaths for the player, though I am unable to properly test these
* Rotations for the SS' pain state
* An SS will occasionally surrender (An idea taken from unused DOOM source art)
* Made some edits to Commander Keen
* Alternate attack for the Mancubus arm weapon
* More realistic and less cartoony smoke effect for bodies and exploded barrels
* Updated credits

Open the DDFWEAP lump and under [SHOTGUN] remove the line "SHTG:A:0:NORMAL:JUMP(JAM:1,1%)," from STATES(ATTACK)

This is a cool mod. The gore is unrealistic, but it's unique.

Also, I don't wanna be a douche, but there is some things that probably shouldn't be there: Mike 12's deaths specifically made for Demonsteele.
Mike's PM wrote: We all agreed that we'd like the mod to float around a good bit before allowing others to use the resources. That, and the Demonsteele death sprites are done with a very specific aesthetic in mind - they wouldn't mesh well with other custom death sprites.

Never heard that before, could you be more specefic?

I was not aware of the fact that they were made specifically for Demonsteele. Unless the author(s) personally tell me otherwise, they'll remain with included credits.

Nice!

What would be the cleanest way to remove the damage from torches and ricochets? I am not familiar with DDF.

I don't think shooting some one in the face cuts their head off is what I am saying. Also, where are you getting these gib and death frames? did you make the chain saw death yourself?

It seems rather explicit here - Demonsteele is pretty new, and its resources shouldn't be used, credits or otherwise. I asked about using the pistol as Helsturm's tier 3 pistol, and got the same response, albeit not in the same wording.

I agree, RailGunner. If they aren't supposed to be used by other people right now, that probably means you shouldn't still be using them, credits or not.

@Railgunner and Carbine Dioxide-

This sounds like a documentation issue. Personal refusal to your own mods via private pms don't necessarily constitute a refusal to Doomed Forever. There isn't a reason for the demonsteele modders to depend on 3rd party pms to get a resource withdrawn from CeeJay's mod. The pm system here at zdoom will work perfectly well, or they can post an open request here in this very thread.

A properly worded license within the mod's directory will prevent future issues.

@wildweasel-

A quick search shows that you're on the demonsteele team. Is this a request for removal?

I don't consider myself enough of a part of the team to make that call. Ask Terminus or Mike12.
