[Finished] The Russian Overkill - 3.0e

[Ashir]

Welcome to the forums, Ashir! If you're unable to get help here, try the GZDoom Bug Forum at DRDTeam, as this appears to be a GZDoom issue rather than ZDoom or even the mod - as it appears that the renderer is crapping out on you. Also, be sure to scale your image down by using some third party program or website. Having it at fullscreen resolution on the forums tends to cause chaos.

It was a GZDoom bug, present on SVN. Going back to 2.1 fix it...

Hey, PillowBlaster! Now that User Buttons can access custom weapon states, ever considered using them to access the different states of those weapons that have four different firing modes, such as the Rasputin and the Gopnik?

Hey DoomKrakken! Have you considered the idea of checking player buttons, and cease playing smarter than the mod author, because it's an insult to the mod author?

At the risk of igniting this more than it has, I'd like to kindly ask that you stay away from PillowBlaster's mod threads. I'm getting quite a lot of complaints about you showing up and acting as if you're a member of the dev team.

Hold on... wait a sec... what?

No! No, I'm not trying to sound smarter than anyone! I was merely trying to suggest something that'd be a little more efficient, so we can use those rather than having to move in order to cycle through firing modes. If I were smarter than you, or trying to sound so, then I'd be trying to make my own mod and drop less suggestions here. But I'm not smarter than you, I can't make anything close to Russian Overkill, and I'm sure as hell not trying to be or sound smarter than you.

I see what I did here. Holy cow, I totally missed it. It's very subtle here, but I can totally see how my previous comment looked kind of snobby and know-it-allish. I should have asked "What if...?" rather than "Ever considered...?"

I can't believe I missed that... I'm so sorry.

I had no idea my actions were getting this out of hand. It was never my intention to show up like I was a member of the dev team. I just know how a lot of this stuff works from extensive studying of the code, and many times I feel that if I post code to make my suggestions happen, or at least spark a thought, then I feel my suggestions can be better listened to. Like with the "Feature Suggestions" thread.

Is this pretty much an unofficial banishment from posting suggestions on these three threads (Guncaster, Trailblazer, and Russian Overkill)? If so, then if it's Pillowblaster's wish, I will follow through with it. Sadly, but surely, I will follow through.

Either way, I wish I was warned sooner...

[PillowBlaster]

I warned you before that you were advocating in my thread. It doesn't take a genius to notice that. Your post ratio is severely outrunning mine in my own threads. You are inadverently being the last one posting in all of them or bumping my threads, having the last word as some kind of mantra. You constantly mention "In my version of the mod!...", but it still gets mixed up with up my work. Someone could finally get a wrong idea, and yes, someone did, if the admin himself got notified about it enough times to point that out. Is this my wish? It wasn't my initiative, if its any consolation to you.

But to stay on topic, that method you suggested is bad for being a downgrade of what is in the mod already - I don't wanna repeat the same mistake and add gorillion worth more of keys to bind. That's why I added direction + alt in the first place. I'll admit that's not exactly obvious, and I did plan to address that. Still, RO at the moment is laying dormant.

[DoomKrakken]

I understand.

The logic behind my suggestion was that I couldn't help but notice that Guncaster utilized those same four user keys for quick-spell bindings. I remember you bringing up that point before, about not wanting to create a whole confusing array of keybinds. So, I figured that if you used those same keys in RO, to access each of those firing modes, it wouldn't really be adding more keys to the keybind array, since Guncaster also utilized the user keys. Is this incorrect?

hey there, im wondering exactly how to get the class patch for this to work, im kinda new to this doom stuff in general so as far as i know it could be a simple endeavor and i just sound like an idiot asking but i've been screwing around with stuff all day and decided to just swallow my pride and ask about it, it's much appreciated if anyone gets back to me on this.

[Rowsol]

You just load it after the main file. If you are dragging over the .exe, select both files by holding ctrl and drag the main file over the .exe. This will make the class patch load after it.

[stonefreeocean]

thank you, that's exactly what it was, and like i thought it was the most simple thing ugh, its good to know now for future reference at least

Its a shame the recoil doesn't work with recent builds.
Eet eez sad dey.

Iz working. Just pops out annoying messages. I recommend sticking with some older g/zdoom build to prevent that. For now.

I think the jetpack's broken. It sort of locks me vertically when I use it.

Is an update fixing these coming soon, then?

Also, a feature suggestions; unlimited ammo pickup in the "cheaty options", since sv_unlimited_pickup doesn't seem to work well in some cases (at least a few of the weapon types still can't be picked up infinitely), and it hurts my OCD if I can't pick up an item these days.

Another suggestion; how about a toggle to make the EXTREMEsphere music optional, since it could mess up a few ZDoom maps that change the music, possibly several times (Black Metal Fortress in DUMP 2 comes to mind)? Not to mention how loud it is in contrast, jeeze (the TITLEMAP themes also seem pretty loud)!

Last, but least, can you please make it a bit more keyboard-only friendly, in terms of weapons adjusting the view pitch? I might play this on the go on my tablet, but I won't be able to use a mouse in those cases.

Otherwise, such a brilliant and insane weapons mod!

Absolutely no promises. It certainly won't happen anytime soon, if ever. But I'm feeling on picking it up again lately, soooo...

I don't think I can nor want to help on that. That would mean changing every single ammo type into custom inventory, and it sounds pretty pointless. And what the hell is sv_unlimited_pickup?

I generally planned to tweak it, as for instance, the tank fists can pretty much effectively block that music.

Last, but least, can you please make it a bit more keyboard-only friendly, in terms of weapons adjusting the view pitch? I might play this on the go on my tablet, but I won't be able to use a mouse in those cases.

My latest approach at making the screen effects tweakable via multipliers in Caster brought me only two things - massive headache and massive disappointment. So probably no, sorry. Unless I'd turn it into an on/off toggle, which would still prove as a well-sized undertaking (and code spaghetti, unless I'll figure out less retarded method to handle this). Time will tell.

Also "playing RO on tablet" - I am not some old grump (just poor), but I feel like I'm falling behind with tech these days. What a time to be alive.

Otherwise, such a brilliant and insane weapons mod!

Mostly insane, but thanks. Heh.

I think the jetpack's broken. It sort of locks me vertically when I use it.

Might need to update (or in this case, even downgrade) your gzdoom, as per usual fixation.
