I'd have to say the Voltgun, followed by the Incineration Device Launcher.
Both are absolute piles of hax, and the Voltgun doesn't even work good, it needs yet another overhaul.

Both of those guns are awful.

Voltgun can kill somethings sometimes very easily at cost of "wat"

Incineration Device Launcher is not weapon, its an experiment that doesn't work.

the IDL works pretty well IME, it's just kind of situational.

a Master Assembly Weapon should have more then just situational use.
(even mother in law is more usable)

otherwise its just a waste of mods and weapon space.

I also want the Combat Translocator to be craftable.

I'm eventually expecting the WW-41 Armor set to have a special where the player says "It's High Noon" and for a short Period of time, you essentially have aimbot.

I'm confused...isn't the mother in law an insta-win on any demo run (or any run you find explosive protection, for that matter)?

Yes, that is why I'm comparing it to IDL

So the thread reached the sacred number 386, which is the first CPU able to run Doom.

Speaking about Assault versions: do you set their parameters freely or they follow a generic rule? I see some High-Power versions are obviously different, such as RC-P120.

IIRC the going rule is triple damage for a specific percentage of fire rate, though some of them come with extra features (the Assault Rifle gets a Scope, for one). Personally I find most of them pretty underwhelming as arsenal mainstays, but if you're having trouble conserving ammo, they might help out with that.

Oh I think I getcha now. You want the gibbing gone, but you want to keep the fancy blood effects when you shoot things, right?

Basically what you'd want to do is open up the monsterpack, and go to the GIBBERS file near the top.
You'll see a bunch of actors, and some of them will have stuff like this:
  • Spawn:
    TNT1 A 0 NoDelay A_JumpIf(CallACS("DRLA_Gibs"), 1)
    stop
    TNT1 A 0 A_SetUserVar ("user_maxcount", 20)
Basically what this does, is if the fancy gibs are turned on, it'd jump to the next frame. If they're off, it won't jump, and it'll just hit the Stop and disappear.
Go through that file, maybe with Ctrl+F to quickly search and find these jumps, and just put two slashes in front of the A_JumpIfs like this:
  • TNT1 A 0 NoDelay //A_JumpIf(CallACS("DRLA_Gibs"), 1)
Those slashes cause anything on the line after them to be ignored, so it'll just go straight to the Stop instantly.
When fancy gibs are turned on, blood will still spray all fancy-like, but the big gibbing bursts when monsters explode will not happen anymore.

I hope that helps you! If I'm wrong about what you want, just let me know.
Hey man, THIS IS AMAZING HELP... This is what my mumbo jumbo was trying to ask for. This is my 1st time in a while checking my zdoom forum posts so sorry for delay. I wonder if the it would be kosher to post a link to the mod page for a "reduced gore version" or something with this edit in place. For more people with toaster laptops like myself to doom with. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Assault Laser Rifles (or is it Laser Assault Rifles? Whatever) are pretty great IMO. Nigh-perfect accuracy and plenty of damage per shot means you can get a lot of value out of your cells.

That's your opinion, not a fact.

A Master Assembly should be one of the most situational of all weapons. While some are very versatile, they are not "win everything guns".

Damage is tripled, accuracy is massively increased, firerate is massively reduced.
NickDoom wrote:I see some High-Power versions are obviously different, such as RC-P120.
Guns like the RC-P120 and Dual Uzis will eventually be moved to other assemblies, and proper HP RC-P90 and Storm Uzis will replace them in their current assembly combination. It's just a case of having a limited number of assembly combinations I could make before, but now I can have as many as I want.

Ah good, glad I could help you.
I wonder if I should seperate fancy blood and fancy gibs into two seperate cvars...? Hmm.

Isn't the Assault Shotgun technically a rapid fire weapon? I would love to see it be compatible with the Assault and Burst assemblies.

Not as-is; IIRC a weapon has to have at least a certain rate of fire for it to qualify, for which the Assault Shotgun is somewhat too slow to qualify as. (It's why Ammochain doesn't work on the Plasma Rifle Mk.2 until it's been Firestorm modded.)

Besides that, you'd get an Assault Assault Shotgun out of that combo, which doesn't really work. :?
