[Update] The Guncaster - 2.8

[PillowBlaster]

that's some overblown logo.

IF YOU, DEAR PERSON WHO READS THIS, WANT TO USE THE MOD'S CONTENTS OR CREAT SOMETHING BASED ON IT OR DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT, CHECK THE GOSHDARNED ATTACHED TEXT FILE, OR READ IT HERE!

If you just wanna play it, ignore this outburst altogether.

Latest version stuff
Apply pressure on the left mouse button against this link for download!, and remember, if it's shouting out errors of any sorts, it means you're most likely using a version of gzdoom that doesn't support it. Get it here! However, if the game still bursts out an error that complains about OpenGL 3.x or something, it means your graphics card doesn't support it... Yeah, don't look at me like that, maybe doom is old, but the source port isn't. Speaking of that, while you won't squeeze everything out of the mod in such setup, as it was primarily designed and being made under GL mode, you can still use regular zdoom beta builds to handle it. Just bear in mind that things won't look as pretty in software mode.

Older stuff
1.2 version
1.2 doom patch

Important Notes:
- This mod works under GZDoom, with a handful of games - Doom, Heretic and Hexen. Everything else is not guaranteed to work.
- Remember to bind some stuff in the options that you might find handy to make full use of what this mod offers!

HEY, YOU! ARE YOU ABOUT TO REPORT THE BUGS ABOUT THE SHOP/SPELL/STRAT WHEEL!?
I am fully aware that things aren't exactly fully working there or working as expected. It's just a bit outdated from the time it got invented, a lot of new things got pasted on top of it, and it's... well, generally it wasn't prepared to become something as big as it is today. And it can't be really fixed in such state, so it needs a rewrite. It is under rehaul right now, but it might not happen anytime soon as it's done by someone who does that in his spare time, and even when it's gonna get done, it will still need a lot of editing and work from me to look like a real deal again, and it'll require accomodating for eventual things that will surely spring outta nowhere, so please bear with it.

Screenshots! a little outdated

Gallery of random stuff from the mod's development or around it.
Before you'd get a brilliant idea to salvage any of it for your own, evil deeds like a mod or edits, I guess It'd be really, really nice if I was asked first - just because it isn't used for now, it doesn't mean it's free to be pilfered. But since I know no one's gonna bother anyway, and you all are already drooling over those unused Longhorn variations or the Quadshot, please remember to credit DoomNukem if you'd use previous weapon sprites in any way. For anything else, just ask me.

Your personal guide through mod contents!

Spoiler:

GUNS!

Getting in fights! (technically not a gun, but better explain that one – combat capabilities of this guy may be slightly complicated.)

Where lead can't make its way (or rather you somehow ran out of bullets), your fists can do the speaking part for you. After thousands of critters being bludeoned into submission, there was no other option than repair the shattered knuckles with metallic replacements, hence the loud thuds each time you pack a punch into one's face... but isn't that just satisfying?

Mash ye thine fire button to combo things! You can also slap a kick (zoom button) during punching monster's face. You can also kick with any weapon being out. To perform a dash kick, simply hold forward while kicking.

Roundhouse kicks are only aviable when your fists are on. Hold strafe button while kicking to make a one happen.

You can fly (jump button) or even glide (double-press forward and hold it while in mid-air, tap it once if stopped gliding to glide again), or perform quite satysfying pound attack! (press crouch while in midair, takes a moment to regenerate, and you need to be in midair to make it happen.)


Longhorn

High-powered octagon-clip fed revolver that is edgier than you? That's Longhorn to you! A gift from the past from one of his good, former students at the art of bringing pain to those in need (Who became a kickass merc!... nooo, not Blazer. Another guy, just to make it clear.), it sports satisfying firepower, great accuracy, and... goddamn huge recoil.

Strucker Mk II

Ye olde 12-gauge goodness, Strucker combines the best of both worlds by combining the stopping power of two barrels, and the speed of an auto shotgun. Since the shotguns are among us since like, ever, I bet you know what do with that thing. If you somehow never had a contact with it, just keep in mind to aim the pointy end at the monster while pushing the trigger!

Ironblast

Two barrels weren't enough. Four barrels weren't enough. So how about eight freaking barrels that shoot shrapnel, plus the fact that whole thing isn't break, but a pump-action weapon? That's a material for the best shotgun in the world. Super Quadshotgun - because fuck everything that would even dare to stand in your way! Surprisingly tight spread, acceptable fire rate - and add on top of that the dual-wielding, and suddenly you become as tasteless as 80's action movie. Awesome, right?

Pulverizer

Compact, hand-held minigun - however weird it sounds, it actually works great on any moment when you need to take those barrels for a spin! Surprisingly accurate, stunlocks pretty much any target, and if that isn't enough for you, if anything gets near your hail of dispensed bullet casings - it's in for a bad time.

Matriarch

Do I really have to explain why holding a huge autocannon among your equipment is an absolute must? Well, it's accurate, surprisingly fast, and most important – it makes stuff explode!

Dynamite (TEE AN' TEE! I'm a power-load. TEE AN' TEE! - watch me explooooode, yeah!)

Since I finally got myself to get through Blood after years (especially after finding out that you can take off those bloody !@&%@!#$& hands off your throat - I decided to give it another shot), and boy if TNT wasn't a satisfying weapon. Probably the most satisfying thing I've been using in years... hence why I got stubborn to do my own take on it, and it took me quite a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get it working and looking how I wanted it to be. The effects are quite astonishing!

The TNT can be cooked, which gives you increased throwing power at the cost of fuse time. It bounces around, and blows up on contact with the enemies while still in motion, but if you hold it till the late throw power, it will always explode on impact. Once it sets steadily on the ground, you can kick it around to make it fly around again. Note that you shouldn't cook it for too long, else it'll go off in your hand... And even if you are quite impervious to the TNT blasts, that obviously hurts a lot.

Cauterizer

Exotic weapons! Who doesn't love exotic weapons? (No, that doesn't mean that they got a sunbath on Bahamas before they got shipped to lay around your current location) This plasma-powered goodness tosses energy around in form of spheres that goes through enemies like a hot knife through butter. Take into consideration that it also damages monsters in impact spot. Most useful when combined with water – it supercharges the explosion, making it twice as deadly!

Old Dreadful

The best. The best. The best. Da best is da best. If something looks like BFG, smells like BFG, and tastes like BFG!... okay, that sounds a little pervy. Well, you get the drill – you know you want it, you know it packs an absolutely devastating greenical, plasmatory goodness (shakespearin' like no tomorrow). The classic in slightly refurbished flavour. Huge. Stylish. Deadly. Also Huge. No guts shall whitstand it. Did I also mention that it's completely safe to use, even if it wrecks shit like no tomorrow?

Lacking melee weapon replacement, you say? Yes, that was a problem, but decided to get around it by placing a random spell spawner in its place.

SPELLS!

Firespit

Cyg, even if being a dragon by all of this word's meaning, is actually a bit impaired in the matter of fire-breathing, as he isn't a true-blood dragonkin. However, he can still exhale a cloud of a nasty, condensed flame when needed. While short-ranged, it still gives monsters a solid dose of burning! (I didn't figure out a good tomed effect, other than constant, medium-ranged flamethrower, which would make from it just a copy of Scourgebreath. Maybe I'll at least add that later.)

Skullfire

Classic fireball in form of a fireball. Nothing really fancy, just a standard with bizzare, skullface explosion. Lays fire around in the impact area. This spell gets actually interesting while tomed – the molten bomb stops in place, grows in size and tosses a constant shower of flaming chunks until it explodes violently, leaving firestorm in the area.

Frostbite

A slightly tricky to use ice grenade that tosses shards around and bounces towards enemies. When it bounces off icy surfaces in Heretic – it garners more power, becomes bigger, spits more shards in higher spread... and when it hits lava, it explodes way more violently. While tomed, it turns into a classic - frozen orb. It doesn't however take any environmental advantages, but it's still pretty damn powerful.

Gumpop

An oddball of a spell, because it's cheap. What makes it also different from the crowd? Well, one – it increases damage to monsters from your attacks (75% from physical sources like knives, crows or bullets, 50% from semi-physical like corpseblast or annihilation, 25% from elemental damage, like fire or lightning). Two – it makes short work of armoured targets. Three, and most important – it makes the baddies die the funniest and most gruesome death I can think of right now (albeit compared to corpseblast - it's purely visual). While tomed, you basically summon a gumpod nova that erupts immediately. Tons of exploding enemies ensured!

Thunderstruck

A bit hard to aim, but quite satisfying crowd-blasting spell with huge knockback potential. It calls a lightning to shatter upon unsuspecting foes heads in the place you point at. Best used by aiming at the floor. While tomed, it turns into circular lightning storm - it automatically pours down lightnings on nearest targets, but drains your mana each time it strikes, so forget about using different spells with it. Can be toggled on/off while the tome is still running, but bear in mind that activating it also takes an entrance mana fee. You can squeeze out the most from this spell by using it in watery areas. It also causes electrocution effect for stunning display of power.

Threadcutter (ZA WARUDO!)

Have you ever be so mad that you just wanted to stuff your enemies with kitchen appliance? Well, you can kind of do it now! Turn enemies into pincushions by throwing at them clouds of knives and cleavers. This spell really shines while being under Tome's effect – it makes you stop time while in use, and projectiles travel really slow, guiding themselves into nearest targets. Once you stop throwing them around, they get lightning-speed again. Knives cause bleed effect which stacks time and damage-wise. The more ruptures you cause - the stronger and longer will be the bleeding, causing the monsters to wither in pain.

Skypunch

This one can let you turn monsters on your way into sitting ducks, floating mostly helplessly in midair, while you pour your lead into them! The harmonic earrrape-, I mean energy wave makes them hover above the ground for couple of seconds. Moreover, it also summons spiritual fists that harasses them for the good portion of the active time. What about already flying targets? Well, have no fear, if you had somehow affected them while they were close enough, it shocks them as well, making them confused and prone to running away. Tome makes you cast tidal shockwaves and empowers the way of thousand fists.

Corpseblast

Another shamelessly stolen piece of arcane knowledge, because I couldn't resist – it's freaking exploding corpses, how can I say no to that? (Probably half of them are. Please don't kill me!) As mentioned, this one makes the carcass in the impact point release a load of kinetic power at the cost of the carcass existence, and it hurts quite badly. It also can more than likely release the evil spirit residing within its mortal shell, and attack nearest of its former collagues. Brings especially hilarious effects on monsters that presumably can hold more than just one spirit, like archviles or iron liches.

Hitchcock's Birds

Being rip'n'teared by a flock of hungry ravens doesn't sound like a fun ending, eh? Unless you are the one to bring it! Amazingly useful against heaps of imps, they shall stand no problem while you bring those birds out. A real horror begins while you get the tome effects in – it makes the crows stand behind the killed targets that consist of feedable flesh for a period of time. If any monster trespasses near them, they get attacked by them.

Scourgebreath

Breathing fire sounds like a fine classic. But why not give it a new flavour by exhaling pure hatred at your enemies, making them die swiftly and in agonizing way? This spell has no fineness at all – you just roll through enemies and make them suffer from your rather bad breath... But hell if it isn't fun! Tome doesn't add to it any more effects, as it's deadly enough – it makes it cost less in power, thus lasting longer, as it burns energy like no tomorrow.

Annihilation

Unquestionably devastating spell, it turns your energy into destructive power sphere. While in flight, it showers targets with energy projectiles, just to explode into even more of them on impact, albeit unguided. Heck, it turns into a real projectile-fest when tomed, but be warned – it requires more energy than you have by default, so expanding your limit, or stuffing yourself with mana potions is a must to use it.

Chillgrasp

With this spell, the force is with you - you can catch monsters in a freezing stasis and toss them around however you like (comes with momentum affected by your mouse swing!). But wait, there's more than that - this spell freezes also everything around and turns them into freeze bombs. And if you want to go absolutely nuts, the tomed mode makes the freezing chain last as long as the freezing chain can keep on killing stuff. Oh, and you can pick up and toss pods/barrels with it, too.

Flamewave

Being inspired by the likes of ROTT and diablo, this one creates a wall of fire that chews through monsters. Very powerful crowd control that gets even bigger and bouncy while tomed! Bear in mind it likes to chew through your mana, though.

Rachmaninov's Punch

Ever felt like becoming a living meteor? Bring the justice at the speed of a speeding bullet right into monster's face with an explosive end! The tomed mode severely increases the impact's power.

Sheepshield

The pinnacle of wtfness - this spell creates a stampede of sheeps around you that blocks projectiles and tears monsters a new one at the same time. And the tomed mode... well, let's just say that this homage wouldn't be complete without it.

Spirit Cannon

A spell that sets up a turret that blasts away at nearest enemies, draws mana from your pool. While tomed, it pops three shells in a row, if you have enough mana that is. I usually ommit area control things like mines and turrets, but I've had decided to take my crack at it nonetheless, knowing some people like this kind of stuff.

STRATOCASTERS!
Those weird but handy boxes contain unlockers for extra firing mode to your weapons. They're far from being cheap, but they're usually worth their slack. (The empty spaces mean the strat modes aren't done for the specified weapons yet.)

Longhorn

Shoots a full piercing projectile that explodes at impact. Keep in mind it uses more ammo per shot.

Strucker

Gives the weapon higher fire rate at the price of accuracy.

Ironblast

You can haunt the weapon, making from it a self-sustained gun turret. While in use, it chews through your ammo pool, and you don't have any control on what it shoots, so keep an eye on your shell surplus (if you run dry on shells, the shotgun will tell you about it, plus start glowing red). If you want to withdraw it from action, you can use an item that appears in your inventory after summoning it. There's a quick-bind for that in the key customization, too. (If you don't like it's chatter, you can deactivate it in HERE BE DRAGONS menu.)

Pulverizer

Gives the weapon the ability to create... a lead ball. Or rather, brass and lead ball. Made of bullets. And casings. And it grows. And it rolls. And it shoots. And it kills. And it looks like radioactive cheese ball. Mmmmmm. Cheese.

Matriarch

Gives the weapon a burst fire mode; up to ten shells can be loaded at a time, they get released the moment you stop holding the button. You can also cease the burst prematurely and start loading by holding fire again.

Old Dreadful

Ahem... Well, if you really, REALLY need that absurd firepower of this weapon to be multiplied by another one hundred, this one is for you. Is it really worth it? Not really. Still comes handy during slaughterfests. Or when you blow up Romero's head at the other end of the map. (And yes, it stacks with the core upgrade.) Bear in mind it sometimes needs to... reboot, after shooting with this one on.

ITEMS!

Gold and gems (aka „Dosh”)

No rest for the wicked, as they say – to actually get all those spiffy spells in most of the time, you gather all those shiny objects to pay that annoying shopkeeper, whose voice and behaviour is kind of familiar... no matter, as long as you can stuff yourself with goods, who cares?

Hammerspace Backpack

At first pick up, it doubles your ammo count, and increases it by 10% each next time you pick it up. If you feel overburdened with ammo, you can toggle it off in the "HERE BE DRAGONS" menu.

Magic Tomes

In place of gauntlets, you might stumble upon magical tome containing arcane knowledge, floating around, just like that – ready to be grabbed. You have that piece of knowledge already? Have no fear - you automatically gain 50% of it's price right to your wallet instead!

Philosopher's Tome

This nutty powerup item recharges every 90 seconds after being deployed, and works for 45 secs. While active, your 'touch' can turn monsters into golden statues. Breaking each statue gives you extra money boost, and on top of that, they shatter into coins that you can pick up afterwards. But wait, there's more - while its active, the dough scattered around you is being teleported straight into your pockets!... Did I also mention this thing somewhat stacks effect-wise with the Berserk and Amplifier/Tome? Can be found sometimes instead of the backpack.

Syringes

Because who doesn't love those empowered, magical drugs that boost your capabilities? You can expand your energy limit, energy regeneration, or health capacity with those.

Tome of Power & Ancient Amplifier

The classics! Boosts and/or alters your spells behaviour at increased energy costs, and you can hold five of them anytime.

Wings of Wrath & Lifter Syringe

Considering you can fly at your desire, this powerup would make no sense in the game, so it increases your flight capacity instead. Comes in a syringe flavour in tech'y environments.

Health'n'Mana refills


All your restoring goodness! Comes in red and blue flavours for obvious things, respectively. Health spawns as usual in their places, mana however is a different can of worms - when you're killing enemies and your mana isn't filled to the brim, mana pot/capsule drops can occur while killing monsters (Some monsters have higher chance of doing so, bosses are guaranteed to drop a handful of big pickups). Their filling value is also affected by the amount of mana boosters you have.

Rejuvenation potion/capsule

A combo of health and mana potion - when used, it provides a mana and health regeneration for 15 seconds. Each use stacks up their effects. They rarely spawn instead of medikits/quartz flasks.

Potion of Iron Lizard (lol Metal Slug)

Temporarily gives you a skin that is impenetrable by any means. HYES!

Sir Galfried and Raymund Tost the Third Idol

A little companion and his bro that you can summon at any given moment, lasts for a minute (each use extends his active time), you can hold up to five of their figurines. They mimick either any spell you have currently active, or be toggled in HERE BE DRAGONS to randomly choose one that's currently aviable in your deck. They also don't draw mana from your pool, just have increased cooldowns between casting some more powerful spells, with an exception for fire snort - they can quite effectively spam it. Did I mention that tome effect also carries onto them with some minor exceptions?

Berserk

Temporarily boosts your physical capabilities by an outrageous level, giving you an ability to hit things with an enormous power, suck out life from your victims with each hit, increases your mobility, decreases damage you receive... generally, you become a horned reaper! (Effect stacks each time you use it, time-wise.)

Gunzerk (Borderlands 2 ahoy!)

Working in similar manner like Berserk, it also gives you increased physical resistance, halves weapon recoil (except for Ironblast for reasons), health regeneration... but instead of increasing your physical strength, like the name suggests - it doubles the weapons in your hands, and makes you regenerate your ammo! Of course while it's in use, you can't quite make use of the magic, but who cares when you can just pour twice as much lead into those pesky adversaries?

Propane

Not really that useful but a fun item nonetheless. Propane can be picked up, pushed around if you're full on it, used to block monsters, tossed into their faces (even cause collateral damage if you have extra strength, coming from Berserk/Suit!), and obviously - explode when shot. You can still save the propane from exploding if you have enough inventory space to pick it up before it goes off. Putting on it strong impact will make it blow up instantly. It occasionally spawns instead of barrels.

Asbestos Suit

Not that Cyg shouldn't be completely fireproof in the first place, but due to some dumb limitations (and kinda-balance reasons), I had to resign from that idea. Still, this gives him a handy protection from a bunch of things, like sludge, more fire, poison, ice - stuff like that. You can use it on any given moment when needed, albeit be warned that each activation draws one duration point.

"Bishop" B.A.D.A.S.S. (Battle Armored Dragon Assault Strike System)

My guilty pleasure, this stupidly overpowered item will turn you into a hulking powerhouse of a dragon. Provides passive regen, high resists from pretty much any kind of attack, immunity from a variety of hazards, insane boost in physical strength, you can punch projectiles back at monsters (if you time it right), provides an arm cannons mode (press reload with fists on while its active, also has airstrike attack on alt-fire while active!)... What are the drawbacks, you can ask? Well, other than being a little louder!... there's none. Just gotta be lucky to find a one. It occasionally spawns instead of Old Dreadful. Once you've had found it, you're pretty much set to go on insane killing spree till the rest of the game. I don't say "stupidly overpowered" without a reason, as this is a pinnacle of my wet dreams. So nah, not planning for it to be balanced or sensible, ever. Don't like it - don't use it, hurrr.

Armor

Get yourself a protective gear in all, most fashionable colours this season!

Medbag

Standard-issue medkit, heals you instantly for all the amount of health you're missing, and as much as it can cover. You can hold up to five hundred units of it at any given moment. Each time you use it, you have a delay of 15 seconds before you can use it again.

Spheres

These here come with little to no changes compared to their vanilla counterparts, however - there is another bunch that brings something new to the table.

Reaver

An upgraded response to the lack of Blursphere - this thing makes monsters have a hard time reacting to what's going on, and generally freak out while you leisurely slam more lead into their faces!

Wizard's Eye (I fook'n love references! And I love that pick-up sound. ;-;)

While Cyg has his hatred for wizards, but he won't mind any help that might come of making use of their dirty tricks. This serves as an automap powerup that also gives you an insight on all of the objects on the map, much like the spell I reference here. (I highly recommend configuring automap object colors to make them represent enemies/allies/items/objects/whatever in your color desire.) Since you can use nightvision any moment (just bind a proper button in the menu!), it replaces the light-amp powerups.

EXTREMESPHERE (Remember, the professional term is "Going full Nithor.")

MUST BE WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE CONVENTION REQUIRES TO DO SO - A CLASSIC FROM MY PREVIOUS SHITTY MOD THAT TURNS YOU INTO UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE WITH WHY OF COURSE DRAGONFORCE PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND BECAUSE FUCK YEAH THAT FITS NOW GO EXPLODE SOMETHING AND SOMEONE YOU DON'T NEED A REASON OR COMMAS COMMAS ARE FOR WUSSIES SORRY THAT I DIDNT GET THE SCREAMS IN BUT I DIDNT WANT TO MAKE MARTYS THROAT SUFFER FROM TRIPLE CANCER AFTER TRYING TO RECORD THAT UNLESS HE WILL STILL WANT TO DO IT WHEN HE WILL SEE THIS BEAUTY IN ACTION!!!!111!!11!1!11oneone

Special Notes
- Practically every timed powerup stacks up time-wise, so don't feel that bad if you'll accidentally use Berserk or Gunzerk more than once, unless you really wanted to save it up for later. If that'd be a case - as JC Denton would say... What a shame!
- If you are using your tome/amplifier or mana pod/potion at the same time with the menu bind, and you want to complain about it... well, not my problem, considering that they are items distinct for their own games. Stop cheating instead.

The lore!
As the dimensional mess, caused by by the serpent riders started to take its toll, the universes began to crumble under the pressure of chaos sphere. Anomalies were a common bread, and things started to be really ugly. From one of the worlds which received such treatment comes the mod's protagonist - Cygnis Flaynithere. A bit crazed hero-wannabe, who's also far from being a human. A skillful gunslinger which actually hates magic, as it's the cause of all of the mess he was thrown into. Still, he doesn't mind using it to get the job done. What kind of job, you may ask? That'd be kicking D'Sparil's ass, of course!

The Gimmicks!
Aka what this atrocity has to offer.

Fuck the intended route - I'll go my own way!
-Main character isn't your average elven avenger, he can traverse maps in a much more light-hearted way. What are you waiting for? Break the shit out of them!.. Or don't. Your choice, after all.

Balance? Yeah, it has some... balance. Some.
-Fully replaced arsenal with a large spice of Overkill! You can expect slight deviations on the classic armoury in the form of twin-barreled auto shotgun, huge-ass revolver, handheld-chaingun... and to end with a bang - a bigass cousin of the BFG - the "Old Dreadful"!

Over the missiles through the firewalls, look out for me - here I come.
-A little collection of spells, which you can buy by blasting enough critters into submission, and stealing their pennies! Some of them are homages (total ripoffs), some may surprise you, and some are just alternate takes on classics.

That book rotates in midair, and looks evil like hell... it must be damn useful!
-Such load of stuff doesn't mean that good, ol' tome of power went to dust, no no! It still your boosts magical powers to sometimes completely different effects, or simply amps the spell's usual power to some ludicrous levels. See for yourself!

Why it's so hard to kill! GAAAH-... wait, now it died in two shots.
-Monsters can be resistant to some spells, while others can do humongous damage to them. Iron lich can't be even scratched by ravens, but lightning shall toast him in a pinch. Experiment with your abilities to master the carnage! (Not that it makes any difference, considering that you mostly hammer anything in your way with ease.)

"...I've had yet met someone who could outsmart a bullet."
-Hitscanners can get nasty at times, especially when all you got is little to no cover, and all the space the world has to offer. For such occasions, Cyg has an ability to evade bullets, rending them much less of a threat, as long as you can master run'n'gunning. The higher 'running wild' meter, the less damage he receives from hitscan attacks. The bar loads as long as you maintain the top running speed, and it starts to diminish almost immediately once you start losing it. (The bar isn't present in Heretic and Hexen, as there's no hitscanners there.)

Environmental damage gains whole new meaning!
-Some of the spells get affected by environment. You can supercharge the lightning by hitting the water with it. Or supercharge the ice ball by bouncing it off icy floors, or make it explode way more violently by throwing it on lava... (This supposed to be a bigger thing than it currently is, but I kinda ran out of ideas and motivation to expand upon this idea.)

The Almighty FAQ!
What to do in case it doesn't work, or you want to get into the developer's pants. (Not really, don't think too heavily about it.)

Why the mod's ain't working? I get weird errors, and such.
There are many possibilities. Your autoload config may have something that confuses the port. You might not loaded it in correct order with whatever else you wanted to try it out with. Or, the most likeable option that occurs the most - you are using a gzdoom version that doesn't support it. As said around download link, you should get a newer one.

I've had seen so many cool things in the trailers and such, how do I use them?
Everything, or at least everything that I didn't forget about is listed in the OP, just read through the thing, it should help you get the mod's nuisances. And remember to bind some buttons, it might give you some more ideas!

[Marty Kirra]

This looks entirely way too awesome and I'm glad to be a part of it! Spectacular work as always!

[Jinal]

Bioshock Infinite style Vigors I presume?

[Ribo Zurai]

No words needed, this is pure brillance at it's finest!

[ArielBoss]

This gameplay looks amazing,we have some realize date?

[Glaice]

What is the music used in the teaser video?

[Sgt. Shivers]

Wow, so many awesome weapon packs have been announced lately, it's great!

[Ghastly_dragon]

Why do people keep putting guns in Heretic, specifically?

[Eric_]

It's like some bizarre mixture of Russian Overkill and Psychic.

I love it.

[Marrub]

Why do people keep putting guns in Heretic, specifically?

They fit in a strange way. Think Army of Darkness.

[DoomNukem]

finally a thread!, real awesome stuff, hadn't played heretic before giving this a burl and it's a heap of fun, the second menu needs to be a wee bit more intuitive as it took me a little while to figure out that I could navigate to a second menu.

[XutaWoo]

This reminds me of Psychic combined with Super Chicken.

This is an awesome thing.

[MarisaKirisame]

Looks delicious.

[Xaser]

Psychic Overkill.

Seriously looks good, though. Major ridiculous props for including acid a la Will Rock.

[Nightfall]

About time enemies actually die when I shoot them.
