Introduction:
Greetings!
This is a unoffical bugfix-ish continuation of DRPG.
In early 2017, after playing DRPG for a while and encountering quite a few bugs and with no devs in sight, I decided to.. become the dev!
In late 2017, with some knowledge of decorate and C, I started working on it and have been since. I've even received help from a few collaborators, yay!

The main goal of this fork is bugfixing/stability & optimisations.
Also some usability/gameplay tweaks have been made here and there.

Installation:
Compatible source ports:
GZDoom v3.7.0 or higher
LZDoom v3.83a or higher
Delta Touch (Android) v3.1 or higher (includes the above versions or higher)

None of the compatible mods are included, you must download those separately. Links to those are included under "Compatible Mods".
DRPG's launcher is the recommended method. Found here: https://github.com/Forevener/DRPGSEL/releases
It can download the mod for you and get it launched easy!

Manually:
https://github.com/Sumwunn/DoomRPG
- The mod itself, click "Clone or download" -> "Download ZIP", extract it, then read the wiki for help.
https://github.com/Sumwunn/DoomRPG/wiki

Compatible mods:
DoomRL Arsenal - [1.1.4] [MP-B7.3]
LegenDoom v2.7
Colourful Hell v0.97ccc
Custom version of Jimmy's Jukebox Instant Randomizer has been included which allows DRPG's map events and Outpost music to play.

Testing/Experiments:
There is an experimental branch where new (potentially unstable) features/settings are tested before they are merged into master.
Some of these may require feedback :).
https://github.com/Sumwunn/DoomRPG/tree/experimental

Changelog:
For all the changes:
Read my (now retired) CHANGELOG.txt, https://github.com/Sumwunn/DoomRPG/blob ... NGELOG.txt
And all commits past Mar 26, 2018
https://github.com/Sumwunn/DoomRPG/comm ... 16ecf46+69

Credits:
There's a lot of credits so I've provided links instead.
https://github.com/Sumwunn/DoomRPG/blob ... REDITS.txt

Notes:
I will of course attempt to keep mod compatibility up-to-date as quick as possible.
Only OpenGL renderer works properly, all others will crash in outpost, not sure why.
Consider all mods incompatible with DRPG unless stated otherwise.
Why "SE" you ask? It means "Sumwunn's Edition", it's just for differential proposes.
Probably forgot something.

Running this along with Compendium and it's a blast. Can't find anything wrong for now. Been playing this for almost a week, though I still have to learn a bunch of stuff about the items, how everyhing works etc.

Two minor critique points would be the stat icons being hi-res compared to eveything else and the inventory showing up at the bottom left instead of centered. Thanks for this updated version! :)

Great to see someone picked this back up!

I wish there was an easier way to run this, though. It's always been really clunky; I tried using this with the old DoomRPG Launcher, but it just kills me on map load.

Oh, I should've shown that:
Spoiler:
You actually could select folders for launching in GZDoom - it's not supported by ZDL, but you still could use "-file" command line argument as shown in the screenshot.

Also, for those who are playing DoomRPG in multiplayer - you could take a look at the https://github.com/Sumwunn/DoomRPG/tree ... perimental branch, where player reviving is implemented. Two notes, though:
1. It's not compatible with DRLA currently
2. It requires turning on "No respawn" in gameplay options.
3. It is considered a death (and respawn), so host should probably disable or tone down death penalties.

This is what I've been waiting for. DRPG was my favourite mod, glad to see someone revived it.

I did a quick test with LegenDoom, and some of the marines in the UAC base would be "Legendary" and start attacking me, then all hell broke loose in the base when I defended myself. :P

Hey, really cool to see this mod return.
I'm having some trouble getting the mod to run, however.
I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions perfectly, but every time I enter the game it immediately crashes.
This happens if I launch by a batch file, the DRPG launcher, or ZDL.
I am using the latest version of GZDOOM.
Not sure if this is helpful, but here's the crash report.

oh yeah, by the way, is this compatible with custom weapon mods?

What files did you load? Also, try to do the same in a somewhat older version and see if it still happens.
YukesVonFaust wrote:oh yeah, by the way, is this compatible with custom weapon mods?
Only Doom Roguelike Arsenal and Legendoom are supported. Adding more compatibility is rather difficult.
What mods did you have in mind?

Older versions of Gzdoom just result in parsing errors.
I loaded it vanilla, DoomRL, etc. and all results the same error.
Unless you meant older versions of DoomRPG, which I could run Kyle's original version.

Factotum, Ultra Crispy, Aracnocide, Flakes Doom, etc. (most of GAA1992's mods)

Huh, I never really noticed the inventory thing. I'd imagine the original devs did this so it wouldn't get in the way of DRPG's hud.
You can remove its entry in SBARINFO.txt if you want.
Hi-res icons? Do you mean they lack anti-aliasing? Dunno how to fix that. I'm all ears though.

The DoomRPG Launcher with my fork is unsupported. I don't know C# so if someone else wants to fix it up I'd happily accept a PR for it.
I also updated the wiki a bit with some more launch configurations.

Hmm, that's new.
They just started attacking you on sight? Did you customise LD's settings at all? I'm not able to reproduce this so far. Are you running something else along with DRPG?
YukesVonFaust wrote:oh yeah, by the way, is this compatible with custom weapon mods?
Adding compatibility can be tricky, DRLA & LD have compatibilty built in to help. Although ZS may make things easier in regards to that.
If I'm going to attempt that for any mod, I think I'd give Complex Doom v26 a try. Or perhaps Flakes since it's just a weapons pack (I think? I'm not to update to date with the gameplay mods lately).
