REKKR - V1.16

[AvzinElkein]

Make sure it works with 3.4.0, okay?

It works by definition.

Does this mean REKKR will have DeHackEd patch and no ACS/Decorate/ZScript? Actually a cool idea, to release a game that is "old" not only in its visuals, but in the way it is done.

If vanilla DooM-compatibility is one of the primary objectives, I'd imagine it would be redundant (and time-consuming) to duplicate the DeHacked work with ACS/Decorate/ZScript.

On the topic of the theme & visuals, the whole retro vibe is really appealing. Keep up the excellent work!

Yah. It's all dehacked. Except for some super minor decorate to make it all work correctly in zdoom derivatives (overcoming a physics glitch zdoom fixed, but a projectile required).

Having issues getting it running in Chocolate Doom/Dosbox get error about an unknown object, seems like the 05/25 version of 1.9 doesn't work. ,

However it works fine in gzdoom and is pretty damn great. Neat to see something using old vanilla doom as a base.

Congratulations on the release! Looking forward to play this.

Topic title says "released" but i dont see any download link.

I found a download link in the thread on Doomworld: http://manbitesshark.com/

You probably should include the download link at the 1st post so people can download this awesome mod. And nice to hear that Terminuest is involved with making this mod, too.

The shotgun replacement is also duplicated as a super shotgun replacement. Is it intentional?
EDIT: Found this out, when doing IDFA

[Batandy]

This is fantastic

Oh what the hell. I copied the doomworld post, and somehow clipped out the DL Link. Sorry about that.

So i played this for a hour, and it's really unique, enthusiastic addictive. Monster designs are really rad and weapon sound effects are satisfying, as i expected from Term's amazing sound works.

However, there were some weird moments during gameplay and i'd like to tell you everything;

---

- The fists does 2 weak jabs and 1 strong jab one at a time and are unstoppable. Why not make it act like Hexen Fighter's Fists?

- The same thing goes for the Axe. And weirdly, it has very short range.

- Overall weapon animations are kinda slow, stiff and less-dynamic. Like seeing vanilla doom weapons. I see the point because they are all coded with DeHacked. Which is... Umm, damn. Looks complicated.

- A Soul Aura on an Arrow on a Bowstring disappears when about to be launched.

- I assume that Steelshot Launcher is SSG counterpart? It spends 2 rounds and can't use anymore when only 1 round left, awkwardly.

- Slot 4 Weapon (sadly forgot the name and cannot be spawned properly) has no disadvantage. I know it sounds like crazy, but both weapons are accurate and this one fires faster and is more destructive. Hence it kinda makes Bow useless once you pick this up.

- Rune Staff's projectile has very short flying range. Yet it's explosive and very ouchy...

- Picking up a Big Health Potion says 'Found Bottled Health.' Sounds a bit comical if you ask me. Why not rename it Bottled Health Essence?

- Some Herbs and Plates are hard to find in certain places because they're almost looks like a prob. Would be nice if they can glow a bit more.

- I can't look up and down and have to rely on autoaim. This is very problematic when it comes to sniping enemies because it doesn't work when you're far away from them. But at least you still can slay them nonetheless.

- Skull turret enemy fires fireball endlessly, despite the player is on their sight or not.

- Touch item acts just like the Vanilla Doom's visor. The view after grabbing it looks also comical.

- Some areas that are suppose to be dark are somehow bright. E1M2 might be the good example of that.

And that's about it. It's been amazing to play this mod. Each maps are very adventurous too!... And you know, you should consider making this mod an iwad that appears on the IWAD selection list.

Those are all due to vanilla limitations, except the aesthetic stuff.

You should never have 1 shotgun round btw. You may not have loaded it right if you do.
