Latest version of this mod: P16-3.2:
http://www.ifocserv.net/ftp/wads/ChexPackP16-3.2.pk3

NOTE: As of ChexSTPackP15-7 (7/29/2011) this mod sets its own DMFLAGS as needed.

Come here if you want to request a server, or if you want to play and there isn't anyone in the server.

Servers:

You can currently find this mod on the following Zandronum servers:

<[IFOC] Server>: Chex Pack Duel
<[IFOC] Server>: Chex Pack Zorchmatch
<[IFOC] Server>: Chex Pack CTF

Brand new weapons: Zorch Gloves (slot 1, melee), CL Zorcher (slot 2), Freezing Zorcher (slot 5), Frozen orb zorcher (slot 7), and a secret joke weapon

Weapons ported from Chex Quest Arena: Ultra rapid zorcher (minigun replacement), Zorch launcher (grenade launcher replacement), and Liquid Zorcher (BFG 10k replacement)

The minizorchers, propulsors, freezing propulsors, and bootsporks can all be dual wielded, just pick up two of them.

IWAD - Chex Quest 3 V1.4: http://www.chucktropolis.com/downloads/ChexQuest3.zip

It must be this exact IWAD, or the game will not work. If in doubt, update. There are subtle changes from the earlier versions of the IWAD. Zandronum doesn't warn you about the wrong IWAD, so if you get an error running my mod, try re-downloading chex3.wad.

There's also another wad named chex3.wad that's from 1998 that will not work at all.

It only runs on zandronum, since the wad replaces zandronum actors. I have a zDoom compatible version as well, but I rarely release it. I will release it more often when I have single player missions.

DUEL09 : Major Fault by 75

Commentary on this map:

Difficult, fast paced, and quite strange looking, though the strange appearance matches the sort of wild gameplay this map offers, with teleporters you can use to dodge in 3 dimensions because they do not slow you down.

DUEL10 : Sweltering Spiral by 75

Commentary on this map:

A moderate paced map, with locations designed for each weapon, there are some areas where a weapon is better than others. Several shortcuts can allow you to get an advantage over your opponent if you learn how to use them well.

DUEL11 : Consilium by 75

Commentary on this map:

Inspired by the old vanilla Doom DM/Duel map Uroborous, this map has the same sort of layout, and is possibly the laziest map I've made recently, it's simple layout is easy to navigate and it has a forgiving layout with a lot of cover, good for beginners.

DUEL12 : Mountain Bungalo by QuadrumpusGuy

Commentary on this map:

It's a lot smaller than it looks, this map forces you to move quickly to avoid your opponents' CL zorcher and zorch launcher attacks, though if you are clever you will find that safety is never really far away if you get in trouble, you will need to think quickly to realize where you can go though. After you avoid his or her attempts to zorch you, it's best to turn around for a counterattack, using an alternate path.

DUEL13: Mysterious Lab by 75

Commentary on this map:

Somewhat inspired by Doom E1M2 and Doom E1M4, this map is slow paced and complicated, talking place in a abandoned, damaged lab. There are many ways to play this map, and a lot of room for creativity, listen carefully to the sounds your opponent makes in the map (from opening doors, using lifts, etc.) to find where he or she is, and act accordingly to succeed.

DUEL14: Naval Bunker

Commentary on this map:

It is rather hard to navigate, but I enjoyed it too much to not have it be in the pack.

DUEL15: The Chef's Secret Base

DUEL16: Vexation

Commentary:

Quick maneuvering around the 3d floors through the hole in the middle is essential to your success in this map.

DUEL33: (Zorch!)

DUELHUB: The hub (temporary, Quadrumpusguy is making a more detailed version)

CTF Maps:

CTF01: Bazoik Highlands Spaceport

CTF02: Centrifugal Force

CTF03: Federal Building CTF

CTF04: Park CTF

I've played this, and it's pretty neat. Definitely good to see CQ stuff. Eriance and/or Vader should sprite a Flemoid some time, I'M JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE

Posted: **Mon Nov 01, 2010 6:22 am**

I'm going to try to do a few flemoids myself, but sure, I'd like some help with sprites, if there's anyone who has something they'd like to add.

Posted: **Thu Nov 04, 2010 4:44 pm**

I converted the wad to .pk3, and I'm working on converting the maps to UDMF format (and also making a config for said UDMF format)

I'm also working on improving INV04

EDIT - I managed to slim down the wad from 50 MB to 17 MB. A lot of those music tracks I didn't really need anyway.

Posted: **Sat Nov 06, 2010 1:14 am**

Oh man this looks fantastic. I'll have to give this a spin sometime!

Posted: **Sat Nov 06, 2010 12:09 pm**

What do you call Chex Quest "DeathMatch"? ZorchMatch? SnotMatch?

Posted: **Sat Nov 06, 2010 1:01 pm**

Oh yeah I remember playing this on Skulltag, good fun

Just want to say I'm not too keen on the new weapons, they seem a tad unnecesary. Also, it needs some more open standard arena maps, rather than just themed and/or cramped maps.

Keep it up, this is nice

the new weapons... hmm... I try to make sure there aren't too many of one kind of slot on one map, so that you don't end up cycling through 15 weapons to find the one you want. What in particular about the weapons was the problem? I've found uses for all of them, and I can't think of any one I'd like to take out.

More big maps... hmm... almost every one of my maps have large open areas somewhere, they're not empty football stadiums, but there's places in every map with a lot of space as well as places that are cramped. I guess you'd like DUEL02 and DM02, lots of space, and not very complicated.

If you're talking about the CTF maps, you are absolutely right. They are definitely too small and cramped. I've been wanting to work on those for a while.

This mod lives again! I pretty much redid the code from scratch, since it was kind of messy. This version doesn't try to replace doom guns at all, instead, I set it so that the invasion spawners only spawn doom weapons.

I'm releasing this version mostly to test out the new weapon code, and my new map. I'll host it when I have time, I'll definitely have time next week.

CSP14.1.pk3

File size - about 3 MB - MUCH better than that gigantic version before it. No MP3 tracks from now on, unless I make them.

Maps :

One map included, DM04. It's not the typical skulltag fare, I'd like to see how it plays online, so I can change things if necessary.

I was actually thinking of goldeneye's multiplayer style when I made it.

Notes :

The weapons aren't supposed to stay after pickup.
If stuff doesn't respawn, check your DMFLAGS. You need to have it set to have items respawn if it's not already.
Don't set the "players drop weapons when they die" DMFLAG. It will screw things up.
Setting the "Weapon remains after pickup" flag will only change non-dual wielded weapons.

Weapons: minizorchers/dual minizorchers, large and super large zorchers, the bootspork/dual bootspork, and the propulsor/dual propulsors

Screenshots:

Spoiler:

Features: Dual wield weapon code, and all of the old skullpack features and weapons except the frozen orb zorcher (that one will be redesigned)

(the equivalent of dual wielded rocket launchers. Deadly for both the target and the guy holding them.)

the equivalent of double chainsaws
(he must be really hungry to have a spork in each hand)

Also, the flemoids have dynamic lights for their pain and death states (not that you'll know from this deathmatch map, but if you play singleplayer, you'll see it) and their sizes are redefined to be more accurate. I also made their "being zorched" states BRIGHT, which looks a lot better

Contains invasion spawners as well. I have a doombuilder config for this mod, if you need it now, let me know, otherwise I'm going to keep testing it for a bit. I haven't made an invasion map yet, and I want to make sure everything works before I release it.

known bugs: The propulsor shots have no dynamic lights.

Try it out, let me know what you think.

Posted: **Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:27 pm**

I'm pretty sure the rocket launcher replacement isn't supposed to damage the user, so just using the doom weapons wouldn't really, y'know, work.

Posted: **Wed Feb 23, 2011 6:15 pm**

actually, my version of the chex rocket launcher does hurt the player.

Having the propulsor NOT hurt the player makes it way overpowered. It makes some sense in this mod because the chex player can get slimed or zorched in his pain state. Older chex mods just had the player get inexplicably slimed when blasted with zorch.

However... that doesn't explain why the LAZ doesn't hurt the player, and the 10k replacement does...

cool!
It's huge!!
Did you mod a CHEX IWAD?
I'll chex later after the download and "edit" it

Edit No
Edit 2 it doesn't work!!!
