DoomRL Arsenal - [1.1.5] [MP-B7.3]

[Take One]

For what it's worth, the problems with the assembler and engineer suits have never happened to me, either, and I use them a lot. No idea what could be going on, there.

[Pokky]

These problems only happened in gzdoom. I'm using zdoom and it seemed to work fine.

[Viscra Maelstrom]

a later GZDoom version might have broken it. it's either this, or the turrets fucking up due to entering another level in a hub. i think that's when it did happen to me, anyway.

[Yholl]

it's either this, or the turrets fucking up due to entering another level in a hub.

A hub would certainly affect them, although I wouldn't expect them to break. I'd have expected the turrets to simply remain in the level you left them in, because it's a hub. If you returned and destroyed them, I'd think it'd work fine. Or if you left that hub entirely.

Of course, this is entirely supposition on my part.

[Viscra Maelstrom]

i wasn't able to come back, since the hub i was in closed access to the level, and the turrets to destroy. there's not really that many Doom hubs out there that does this kind of thing, so i probably just ran into a very rare occurrence where the armor special broke and i couldn't do anything about it.

maybe you can test it out by starting a new game, going inside the hub and summoning the armour set and trying the process out again?

The game crashes badly everytime I try to wear any armor in the new GZDoom stable build.

You know, That current stable version are currently an explosion. Get a older stable version instead (V2.11)

Actually I didn't. Imagined that build would be stable. I will stick with ZDoom for now then.

[Yholl]

Mmm, thinking about it, the main post is in need of some editing. I'll update it now.

EDIT: There, the main post is no longer outdated, and says that DRLA is designed for ZDoom 2.8.1 and GZDoom 2.1.1.

[Machine-Reaper]

Also as of right now will the monsters pack be updated along as well or just the arsenel?

I personally really like the monsters in this mod and can't find any other monster packs besides outdated colourful hell

AS far as I can remember, Yholl stated that there would be new monsters for Armageddon and other difficulties. Still going to be unfinished though (is that right?), but it's getting there.

You betcha. I'm actually working on it right now! Well, not right now, as I'm currently typing this message, BUT YOU GET THE DRIFT
Marrub and I teamed up to deploy a new Difficulty for people to play on - ADAPTIVE!
In this mode, the nasty enemy variants will become more and more common as you progress through the game, starting at UV-similar levels, and ending up at Armageddon. We currently have the first iteration of it working ingame, now we gotta fix it up and fine tune it and stuff.

And yeah, a whole bunch of new monsters, revamped monsters and other things await you in the next update.

Has anyone ever told you that you're awesome? Cause you and Marrub are basically giving something that I never even knew I wanted

Question though, are we going to be able to tune some settings ourselves with this new difficulty or nah?

[Marrub]

Question though, are we going to be able to tune some settings ourselves with this new difficulty or nah?

Yep, for ease of balancing the difficulty I've added two CVars, which will have menu options as well.

The first is DRLA_adaptive_random_multiplier, which increases the speed at which enemies ramp up in difficulty.
The second is DRLA_adaptive_random_exponent, which decreases the ramp for which harder enemies are picked.
These seem similar, but think of an exponential curve (which it is.) The first makes the curve higher, and the second makes it curve lower.

... Shit, that still sounds like the same thing. Fuck English. I'M SURE SOMEONE WILL GET IT.

also I fell asleep while working on it so somehow bosses manage to not spawn at the moment whoops
