ZDoom

cool thanks again Zombie! Have you given any more consideration to adding footsteps back to the enemies?

I'm considering it. Still trying to think of the best way to do it.

Would you make the enemy footsteps optional or a separate module? My preferred DooM mod uses a TON of custom actors, so while the player-footsteps mod works fine I'm not sure how well enemy footsteps would work.

That's precisely the reason that I'm trying to think of a decent method.
Something like monster footsteps would most likely end up being a separate resource.

Sooooo i just tried the latest Brutalv20 with his footsteps mod and i HAVE to say yours is WAYYY better!! His doesn't take into account speed at all which is quite annoying. Please keep working on this great mod and please add enemy footsteps when you think of a good way to implement it

I'll definitely get around to it eventually, just been working on some other stuff as of late

Wasn't there another beam flashlight mod done by someone named SlyDoyle? If so, what (if any) differences does that project have in regards to this one?

As far as I know, that flashlight was based on an older version of this one, and was configured to have different default colours and range (at least that's what I remember from when I last had it)

any idea why the footstep mod won't work with the psx doom tc? It works fine on it's own, but won't seem to work with the psx doom tc mod. I loaded it after everything else.

Zombie, I would like to add this lovely patch for footsteps into my mod. I'll of course add you to the credits list

I might be making some custom footstep sounds, but i discovered where some of the compatibilty issues might have come from for other mods when my motorcycle started making furious sprinting noises (now I have an image of some sort of foot-powered Flintstones type machine in my head that cannot be UNSEEN)
I added lines like this to the sndinfo definitions in my mod, so it can be customised for individual playerclasses. Anyway, amazing work! Thank you!

Script conflicts, probably. I haven't looked at PSX Doom TC's sources, so I don't know what the proper fix would be.

No problem! Glad it helped you out!

The footsteps link is dead.

Blame Dropbox for being garbage, they killed all of my public links years ago when some of them supposedly generated too much traffic.
I've reuploaded the pk3s to GitHub, head on over to the repository and check the "releases" section.

Here's a thing Zombie wrote as a proof-of-concept for somebody on Discord that he was too lazy to post publicly himself. He was cool with it being posted, though, so...

This ZScript event handler hides the "M_DOOM" graphic on the main menu if you're on the Titlemap, without any MENUDEF edits necessary.

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

class MenuHandler : EventHandler
{
    private ui int m_Index;
    private ui TextureID m_Texture;
    private ui ListMenuDescriptor m_Desc;
    private ui bool m_UiInitialized;

    override void UiTick()
    {
        if(!m_UiInitialized) UiInit();

        if(gameInfo.gameType == 3 || level.mapName == "TITLEMAP")
            m_Desc.mItems[m_Index].mEnabled = false;
        else
            m_Desc.mItems[m_Index].mEnabled = true;
    }

    virtual ui void UiInit()
    {
        m_Index = 0;
        m_Texture = TexMan.CheckForTexture("M_DOOM", TexMan.Type_Any);
        m_Desc = ListMenuDescriptor(MenuDescriptor.GetDescriptor("MainMenu"));

        for(int i = 0; i < m_Desc.mItems.Size(); i++)
        {
            if(ListMenuItemStaticPatch(m_Desc.mItems[i]) == null) continue;
            if(ListMenuItemStaticPatch(m_Desc.mItems[i]).mTexture != m_Texture) continue;
            m_Index = i;
            break;
        }

        m_UiInitialized = true;
    }
}

Hi! First, thanks for great work! Footsteps really add atmosphere to the game.

Second, I made a little Back To Saturn X E1-E2 compatibility patch.
It contains no new sounds, only sets existing sounds for corresponding BTSX flats.
It must be loaded after footsteps.pk3. Will not work without footsteps.pk3 and using it makes no sense without BTSX itself.
I hope I didn't miss something, especially liquids.
