[PARTY HARD] Super Doom

[NAMBLACO]

Super Doom is a gameplay mod that I've been working on for the past year (by working I mean abandoning and restarting). The idea behind the mod is to tweak the main game without making tremendous changes, every weapon is just about as useful (with the exception being the pistol) and every monster is just as hard (with the exception being the zombiemen) as they would be in vanilla.
nah i just wanna make a mod with a arcade-y feel

Changes from vanilla

if i forgot anyone, please let me know

any criticism, espessially on how to make the balance more 'vanilla' would be greatly appreciated

I'm curious to see what you would do with all the enemies' special attacks! So far, the BFG9000 is broken when you hold the fire button down (CHKCHKCHKCHK) and then the chaingun is disorienting/nauseating to use. The rocket launcher was pretty awesome for rocket-jumping, so I used it to leap into the boss brain while crouched
I also noticed that the bullets don't produce the blood actor or is it intended? Good luck on your project.

finally, a reply!

1.The BFG is like that intentionally so you have time to aim your shot carefully, but I should probably change the sound/visuals.
2.I'll lower the recoil on the chaingun
3.I don't really know what I'm going to do with the enemys yet, but I want to give the revenant some kind of melee combo attack

EDIT: also, the projectiles not having +BLOODSPLATTER was a oversight on my part

[NAMBLACO]

Alpha Beta goddammit is out!

SURPRISE
THIS PROJECT AIN'T DEAD YET

This looks awesome from what I'm seeing! Needs some work here and there, and I think you should add a few custom textures for guns, but other than that, cool stuff!

I'm not good at making/editing sprites, but I'll see what I can do

Cool! I look forward to seeing what you can do!

Man I really hope you get done with this! P.S. I think the pistol should be semi auto with 85% accuracy rating.

funny you say that, because the pistol now has a more accurate semi-auto mode along with the burst fire mode

[NAMBLACO]

I'm making a ridiculous number of changes so i wanna see what anyone thinks of this super rough test version: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jn506 ... -17-15.zip

a quick changelog:
+kicking
+dashing(kick while dashing for extra damage)
+sexy effects
+cyberdemon and spidermastermind replacements
+super unbalanced icon of sin replacement
+updated credits
+other shit you probably don't care about

This mod was pretty cool when I tried it out, I'll have to try the new version.

[NAMBLACO]

does anybody still remember this thread?

heres the helmet hud i'm working on, does anybody have any suggestions?
also, i'm probally going to rename this mod something more exiting like Sinister Doom or Inevitable Doom because it hasn't been getting that much attention which may be because of its ultra-generic name

[Captain J]

that helmet hud would pretty blocks the vision to make the gameplay uncomfortable, just like what doom alpha featured and showed about it.

about the fixes, make those grey bits smaller or barely transparent them, maybe?

[Crudux Cruo]

So this mod is actually pretty neat, but as far as a vanilla weapon set, the balance is totally whacked. that aside, i do like this concept and its pretty neat regardless.

balance review

1) fists: 8 punches to kill a caco.... nuff said this is WAY OP from vanilla. its 2x faster and does 2x more damage. its amusing but it could be dialed back a bit.

2) quaking aside (which i personally removed because its annoying), the damage on the normal chainsaw is 2-20, whereas this is 5-15. in general this means it actually does quite a bit more damage, because it boosts its average DPS. example? a cybie takes 20-22 seconds to kill. http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Chainsaw according to this it takes usually around 40. 2x damage, and is easily the best weapon to use against any monster under hellknight in terms of DPS.

3) pistol is better. its about 2x faster, and it does more damage (semi). honestly i really feel like the burst fire is unnecessary/overpowered, but seeing as the default doom pistol was pretty much useless anyway, who cares? this is a definite improvement for me.

4) the chaingun is EXACTLY the same. except now you cant 2 shot snipe, it takes a little while to start, and theres an unnecessary amount of vertical spread. this is weaker than the original. my suggestion? 3 firing frames instead of 4 (FASTER).

5) Shotgun is slightly weaker due to slightly slower firing rate on average, and the spread goes to high vertical to my liking; nothing like the wide horzontal spread of the classic.

6) SSG is massively nerfed! 7 bullets are missing for realism. 12 gauge 00 buck has 7-10 bullets a shell depending on a number of factors. also, the spread is to vertical and not wide enough once again. consider making shotguns shoot 10 for the pump, 20 for the SSG. that will balance things out significantly. MAYBE 9-18 if you want to nerf the shotgun a tad, which is reasonable. 7 ain't cutting the mustard mate.

7) rockets seem fine to me, though it does fire a tad bit faster than the normal one.

8) plasma is weaker, usually taking more to kill and slower

9) took 7 to bring down a cybie, as opposed to the usual 3-4, but took about as much time to kill. the big thing is... it took more ammo. so this is a definite nerf, because 40 each shot at 2x as much is worse off from 60 in 3-4 shots. its faster, more responsive, but an ammo hog.

Enjoying this though, thanks for doing this!
