Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

You're missing a closing bracket for CommandoArm (right above KnightArm).

Thank you! Changed the numbullets parameter to -1 to avoid accurate quicktapping, but otherwise everything seems to work just as it's supposed to. Now to toy with balance...

I'm trying to make a hitscan weapon where the bullet spread increases as you keep pressing the trigger. The bullet spread would be gradually restored with time, to avoid being able to cancel the effect with quicktapping or switching weapons. Think of it like a minigun spinning up and down. So I'm ...

The only mistake is to complain about bumps. Fundamental misunderstanding of the way forums work. Posts brings topics up. If there's no interest, and hence no posts, in a particular topic, then it is pushed out by other topics. Popularity takes care of things naturally. Up until people start posting ...

It seems tacky to say it, but my go-to example for this is Phmlspd map08. The start surrounds you with shotgunners, and gives you 2 BFG shots. The idea is to power through them and rush the corners for cover/distance/ammo. In UV -fast, you will survive this part about once every three attempts. On ...

It's not the same. Nightmare monsters react faster than -fast.

This egypt map looks fantastic.

This is the kind of mod I should dislike, because a first-person view lacks physical feedback and isn't conductive to parkour and blah blah blah blah but it's all so deliciously cheesy I can't help but love it. :) The only thing it's missing is a tone deaf female robotic voice similar to that ...

Looks pretty cool.

Also since we're talking about Doom, there's nearly 20 years of editing howtos, tutorials, and other forms of advice that are about what existed then. Yeah, that's the thing right there. I started a gameplay mod a mere half year ago, and when I did searches on how to get custom weapons to work ...

Thanks guys. Interesting stuff! I wanted to avoid DECORATE because the map is supposed to be for a community project, but rereading the rules it's allowed anyway, so it looks like this is indeed the way I should go. Edit: actually, Mikk-'s idea to use APROP_SPEED set to 0 works flawlessly so far ...

At first, I thought it froze the actors' movement for as long as it's active. Doesn't work. OK, reading the wiki description more carefully, maybe it sets the acceleration and speed to 0 for one tic, and then movement resumes in the next tic, so I have to make the script loop. Nope, still doesn't ...

I use such a mod from my ZDoom playing, and it's hard to understand the claim fixed damage values leads to such predictability fighting monsters would be akin to filling a spreadsheet. The random aspect of weapon damage in Doom is alleviated by how these weapons are designed, in most cases. For ...

In a real-time environment, especially a first person shooter, I'm not big on randomized damage. Fixed values allow for a more controlled experience, eventually better balance, allowing the game designer to create challenges for any targeted skill level, whereas with randomness you have to leave ...

remember KDiZD Z1M1? It can't be played with classic Doom tactics without getting into serious problems so for some players the level is defective. News to me! I've always played this level guns blazing and wouldn't think of doing it any other way. To an extent I would almost argue this level ...
