You have captured the feel of the original weapons quite nicely IMO. I like 'em. :)

The mod really needs to be made widescreen compatible these days though. The edges of the HUD gauges are cut off and the sniper scope blacout doesn't cover the full width of the screen in widescreen resolutions.

Also, if I type "kill monsters" at the console, the game crashes.

I forgot to say: this mod supports multiplayer, and also you can fight with each one with lightsabers :) But the greater the number of players, the more unpredictable mod will behave.

I have tested the mod with 640x480 resolution.

Precisely my point. Most users now play with a widescreen resolution like 16:9 or 16:10, not a 4:3 like you tested things on. You should try and test at widescreen resolutions too to make sure that your mod looks OK on them. You can force (G)Zdoom to use widescreen ratios for testing purposes even if your monitor is a 4:3 one.

The fullscreen HUD, if you're doing it with SBARINFO, can be done with a "fullscreenoffsets" keyword so it anchors to the corners of the screen and will scale if HUD_SCALE is true.

I'll be testing the mod proper in a bit, though.

No, it's fully done with ACS.

Thoughts as I play:
  • Add +NOEXTREMEDEATH to the Bryar Pistol's projectiles so they don't gib zombies.
  • You pulled off the lightsaber deflection perfectly. I love it.
  • Playing with GZDoom and noticing that the lightsaber glows green when in a dark area. Awesome. Reminds me of playing the original Jedi Knight and using the lightsaber indefinitely just because it acted as a free flashlight. =P
  • The blaster rifle doesn't seem to fire fast enough or do enough damage.
  • I like how you ensure that players don't just turtle constantly with the lightsaber deflection. It's a pretty clever system.
  • The thermal detonators could really use a throw-strength meter. Also, pull the hand back farther when readying, so it looks like Doomguy is actually putting some effort into lobbing these things around.
  • "You learnt [x] Force level!" isn't grammatically correct - try "You have reached Force level [x]!" instead. Also try adding a second message below that, to inform the player that they have earned Force stars to spend on powers.
  • The Repeater projectiles move fast enough that the "fire" sound that's attached to them escapes from the player before it's finished playing. Try silencing the projectile and making the weapon (and enemy) play said sound directly with A_PlayWeaponSound. This also stops the sound from being interrupted by the projectile hitting a wall and sounding bad in close quarters fights.
  • Hell Revealed-type slaughterfest maps become very fun with the lightsaber deflect. unfortunately, the rest of the weapons are badly balanced for crowd control situations.
