The Story
"At approximately 0900 hours, we intercepted a distress call from the UAC base on Phobos. From the video footage that has leaked to public airwaves, it looks like a teleporter experiment went awry, opening a portal to some hellish dimension. The entire base has been overrun with creatures from the other side of the portal, and both the Union Aerospace Military Division and reportedly the Research Crime Prevention Agency are doing their best to dispatch and rescue what remains of the personnel.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect opportunity.

If you recall, the Martian Surface Excavation Unit discovered tablets and other artifacts left over by an ancient race called the "Praeleanthor". These would go for unprecedented amounts of money if we could somehow procure them, and amiss the chaos at Phobos, we would have the prime opportunity to retrieve them. Your objectives are simple.

• Retrieve the Martian artifacts.
• Assassinate any and all RCPA personnel. We need to keep our tracks clean.

Good luck Mel."

v.0.1.2 Tutorial


Known Issues

• While holding the reload button on the 919m with the auto-firing mode enabled, it'll show a graphic of the single fire ready frame.
• Weapons that haven't been replaced have been given temporary ammo and weapon spawns - These will be removed as the mod progresses.

Please report any issues you encounter here! Fixes and suggestions graciously accepted!

Unofficial Add-Ons:
- The Space Pirate +1 by Ixcuazl (Standalone, no previous versions required)
A complete rebalancing and fix of the last V1 public build of The Space Pirate. Includes a new weapon and several quality of life improvements regarding ammo balancing, weapon behavior, and much more.
- AZ-MP5 by Sgt. Shivers (runs with the latest GitHub build as well as the upcoming MK2 build, load after the main TSP file!)
Includes a brand new weapon, the AZ-MP5, which uses the more common global pistol ammo. A good, powerful alternative to the AB-50, Mel is able to throw quick punches while using this weapon.
- TSP Alternate by TheRailgunner (runs with v.0.1.2e, load after the main TSP file!)
Includes changes to the behavior of the AB-50 and the secret weapon, along with cool shell-casings, and a WIP brand new weapon: the Bargo Automatic Weapon System Model "C", a belt-fed, bullpup assault rifle/light machine gun with a high rate of fire and a burst-fire setting utilizing a idealized intermediate cartridge, the 6.66x48mm round.
- TSP Voxels by Voxelbro (runs with v.0.1.2e, load after the main TSP file!)
Includes voxel replacements for every unique item in TSP, from weapon pickups to ammo pickups! (Check out more cool voxel add-ons here!)

Ooh-wee! Looking forward to some ass-kicking!

[Ctrl+Alt+Destroy]

Awesome! Is this getting its own set of maps too?

Ooh-wee! Looking forward to some ass-kicking!

You and me both!

Awesome! Is this getting its own set of maps too?

It is not, as it's only a gameplay mod, HOWEVER...we'll see how things develop.

[Ctrl+Alt+Destroy]

I'll enjoy it nonetheless. Can't wait for a release!

[ArielBoss]

0:20 looks like action doom map, also, great work you got there.

[DoomNukem]

this looks fucking amazing, the combat looks really fluid and racking combos sounds fun, cant wait for the open beta!

You know, with all these fancy new weapon mods with heavy gameplay differences, like trailblazer, this, and guncaster, its almost like an RSL mod 2.0.

RSL is a weapon modder who always strives for some funky whole gameplay chance in each mod of his, be it big or small. These look like HD fancy versions of something akin to them.

Soooo... we all are copying RSL? I don't see your point here. Gameplay mods always affect gameplay, hence the name, and I have been aiming with my stuff posted here to be gimmicky. Every gunsmith aims to be gimmicky with his stuff, not only RSL. I like his work, but he's just one among us all. I mean, MagSigma's Project MSX, XutaWoo's Super Chicken or Weasel's Nazis aren't heavy, or gimmicky modifications? I realise that you probably want to bring more attention to him (I'd personally do a shout-out for amv2k9, since he made a lot of cool stuff!), but uhh, that sounds almost like an offense to me. Those aren't fancy HD versions of his work, they all are works of our own. But if you feel with it like that, I guess can't help on it. Maybe it's just it's too much of them at the same time, I take a guess. But I have been holding this one off for too long, anyway.

Eitherway, I wish Marty good luck on this, as it's his first, real endeavours in coding on his own. Hope to see it finished.

[chronoteeth]

no no, you aint copying him, im just saying it has that feel to them. RSL just made it prolific cause he's made so many. it aint a bad thing tho!! this mod does look pretty dang rad!

It totally is Action Doom map 1. Spoilers, the hardest thing for me about getting trailer footage is choosing a good mapset. You can even see the score at the top!

I believe I actually gave RSL praise for the exact same thing a while back, funny enough! I would like to say that as of writing, the Space Pirate is probably going to be on the lesser side of the "heavy gameplay differences" scale. Melee is frantic as you all know, but I don't have much planned in terms of craziness...yet.

I wish Marty good luck on this, as it's his first, real endeavours in coding on his own. Hope to see it finished.

I hope to see it finished too! Thank you everyone for your interest!

[ArielBoss]

Wait ... you're telling me it's possible to play SP with Action Doom? Or are only the maps of AD?

[KingShinra]

Will there be a male protagonist available as well?

[Cardboard Marty]

Wait ... you're telling me it's possible to play SP with Action Doom? Or are only the maps of AD?

Haha, you can barely play Action Doom by itself in the latest version of ZDoom. It's not recommended by any means to try ANY mod with Action Doom, let alone my mod. Sorry for that bit of video mis-information!

Will there be a male protagonist available as well?

Probably not. In a quick non-poll, does not being able to play as a male protagonist put you off from playing this? I'm not asking to be rude, I'm genuinely curious.

It's too early in the game to say what plans I have in store as far as characters/classes go, but Mel (the player character) is probably going to be the only playable character for a looooong time.

If I can stream intense combos like the ones shown in the teaser, I don't care if I play as a man, woman, dragon, or inter-dimensional demon. The game looks fantastic and I look forward to a release.
