GMOTA: Fantasy arcade action, UPDATE 8/18/2020 [V1.4.1]

[Josh771]

The Steel Dukes... they actually use Duke's voice. I recognized it right off, hehehe, but I like it. These monster replacements are fantastic. I much prefer fighting these to Doom's native bestiary -- I only wish now that GMOTA supported Heretic. I might end up working on that myself, to be honest. Just for personal use, at least.

[DoomRater]

Attempting to play Heretic or Hexen worked somewhat okay actually. I'm sure if the monster replacements were set up correctly and the item replacements were redone it'd work like a charm.

Well this is exactly what I would do if I made compatibility for it. I imagine the player class works fine, it's just a matter of getting the "replaces" transferred from Doom to the Raven games.

And I might even maintain it "officially" for Combine Kegan, if he were alright with it. Otherwise I'll just keep it to myself and enjoy me some GMOTA Heretic.

I don't know if I'm the only one having trouble with this, but the custom music doesn't play for me. I tried puking the script 1666, but I get an error telling me there isn't a script. Is this a problem for anyone else, or just me?

I'm playing on the latest GZDoom for Mac OSX, btw.

That's odd, did you check to see in the in-game options if the custom music is disabled?

Found a bug, the arcane chicken and mystic wine don't grant infinite mana. You'll still use up your reserves regardless, and if you run out while the effect is up, that's it, no more mana for you(you can still recover mana, but the infinite isn't infinite). Also, if you throw your sword away right before you leave a level, that's it, no more sword for you. However, if you type "summon boomerang", you can get it back.
For archives sake, my idiocy.

You should use that new blood effect for everything actually, it's really nice. Doesn't seem to be as bad a fps killer as the old one too. The "gore" is hilarious, I love it. Imp warlords seem nice, though I did notice that if the ceiling is too low, the mace they throw gets destroyed, resulting in a gimped enemy. Also, since the viper dodges less he tends to go down very easily, almost to the point of him being forgetable. His spazzy-ness was what made him memorable, actually, since he doesn't have a lot of health, meaning he'd go down in 1 charge-shot.

Just a personal thing, but you should recolor the earthshaker's explosion sprite to use white/red/pinks, it stands out too much otherwise.

That makes no sense, chicken and wine powerups give you 10 seconds of INCREDIBLY fast mana regen, I don't know how you're managing to run out, and I address the permanently losing sword bug awhile ago, that shouldn't ever happen.

[Cryomundus]

I'm a friggin' idiot, turns out the breakage was something on my end. |D Did something dumb without realizing it, but I fixed it, so you can ignore what I said.

Alright, so apparently it was the music addon thing I made for 0.9.4, but I have no idea why, the only thing it has is the music folder, the acs folder, the LOADACS file, and the credits. It shouldn't be changing anything else, at all.

The losing the sword bug occurs when you toss a fully charged sword before leaving a level, you'll enter the next level with only your fists. It's like it's expecting a charged swordrang to return, so it never actually checks to make sure you actually have a sword.

Edit: I'M AN IDIOT I KNOW WHY THE THING BROKE, BRB GONNA TRY A THING.

Edit2: YEP IDIOT. Turns out you had a script tucked away in the acs that I had initially thought was useless, and the fact that I deleted it broke the arcane chicken/mystic wine and sword return.

in other words, this script:

---

script 1667 ENTER
{
takeinventory("unarmedcheck",1);

while (1)
{
if(checkinventory("powerarcaneenergizer")== 1)
{
giveinventory("arcaneforce",2);
}

if(checkinventory("powermysticenergizer")== 1)
{
giveinventory("mysticforce",2);
}

if(checkinventory("powershiningknight")== 0)
{
giveinventory("noshiningknight",1);
}
else
{
takeinventory("noshiningknight",1);
}
delay(1);
}
}

Speaking of music addon, would you folks even like this one? It's like 154 mb, though it has 61 songs, for the sake of a larger pool of randomized songs.

[Combine_Kegan]

That's what I thought. See now this is why I told you I'm against your music addon, you've caused clashing and issues with my main mod. Don't be sharing it with folks until you know it's not going to break anything. Damn it.

Well that and the fuckhuge filesize, seriously man.

Alright, for starters it shouldn't break anything else with the current version. All it has is the music, and the acs. That's all that it actually touches. And unless you change/add something onto the acs, it won't break anything.

Since when is 154 mb actually huge anymore, 1TB HDD's are pretty standard right now, and they're getting larger. I could have 2 downloads if you wanted, 1 with the usual 32 songs (which comes out to 77 mb), and the larger 61 songs (154 mb). Seriously though, I halved the size of the files without killing the quality, and they're proper songs, not the chiptune songs from the consoles. And besides, it comes down to the users choice as to whether or not they actually want to download and use them or not. Yeesh. The only reason I actually made the music pack was the songs you had varied in quality (some of them are actually very quiet) and you had only 24 songs, which meant that if you played a megawad, you'd be hearing those same songs over and over and over. And that got boring, especially when there where only 5-7 actually decent songs to listen too.

Fuckhuge filesize would have to be 1-3 gigabyte onwards, 154 mb is pretty freaking tiny compared to that.

Edit: Hell, if you that bothered by the filesize I can go hunting for .spc music to replace it with. Heck, all I want is a large pool of music of relative quality. Mostly the large pool tho.

I did indeed check that, and it indicated that the music was enabled. I clicked it back and forth a few times, just to make sure, but nothing changed. Still no custom music.

...managed to lose my sword by throwing it at the skybox.....

That's odd, that shouldn't happen, I added +SKYEXPLODE to the boomerang sword. What stage/mapset did you do this on?

I watched it, it disapeared after it bounced on the skybox 2x

The throwing sword is pretty neat, especially when you can switch to another weapon while it's still whirling around. Maybe this weapon could be added to the fantasy section of AEOD?

Also, some of the sound effects are pleasantly familiar.
