[

] Bit of a bug of sorts, here! [

]
In the later versions of GZDoom, The +RIPPER class does not work with the overcharged Steel magic, or the Nightmare Omega gun.
This is because +DOOMBOUNCE and +HEXENBOUNCE override +RIPPER.
Something Graf Zahl said in another thread (Two years ago!).
Bouncing will override ripping, if bouncing on actors is enabled. The recent change only added handling for one overlooked case when hitting an actor from above or below.
The solution would be to set the projectile to not bounce off actors.
So what I did to fix this for myself was change this (Overcharged Steel) in actors/powers/steel.txt:
- Code: Select all • Expand view
ACTOR SteelSaw : PsychSteel
{
Speed 40
Damage 3
Bouncefactor 1
-DOOMBOUNCE
+HEXENBOUNCE
+RIPPER
+NOGRAVITY
+SEEKERMISSILE
+CANBOUNCEWATER
YScale 0.7
Reactiontime 24
Obituary "%o was sawed in two by %k."
To this:
- Code: Select all • Expand view
ACTOR SteelSaw : PsychSteel
{
Speed 40
Damage 3
Bouncefactor 1
-DOOMBOUNCE
+HEXENBOUNCE
-ALLOWBOUNCEONACTORS
-BOUNCEONACTORS
+RIPPER
+NOGRAVITY
+SEEKERMISSILE
+CANBOUNCEWATER
YScale 0.7
Reactiontime 24
Obituary "%o was sawed in two by %k."
And this (Nightmare Omega) actors/weapons/nightmare.txt:
- Code: Select all • Expand view
ACTOR NiteShot : PlasmaBall
{
Scale 0.3
Alpha 0.75
Damage 8
Speed 20
SeeSound "weapons/nightmarebounce"
DeathSound ""
Reactiontime 10
+ DOOMBOUNCE
Damagetype "Nightmare"
Obituary "%o let %k become %p new nightmare."
To this:
- Code: Select all • Expand view
ACTOR NiteShot : PlasmaBall
{
Scale 0.3
Alpha 0.75
Damage 8
Speed 20
SeeSound "weapons/nightmarebounce"
DeathSound ""
Reactiontime 10
+ DOOMBOUNCE
-ALLOWBOUNCEONACTORS
-BOUNCEONACTORS
Damagetype "Nightmare"
Obituary "%o let %k become %p new nightmare."
Hah... Bet this would've made my Sunlust playthrough a bit less difficult.
Another bug: In the Cybershop, the letter "Y" appears to be replaced with a "|", or something similar. It can be seen in the screenshot a few posts above this one. No idea what the solution to that one might be.
This has been my favourite gameplay mod for years, and I hope I was able to help just now!
I also hope this post is warranted, considering it's a five-month bump.
