Smooth Doom [WIP 2.0 TEST? WOWIE ZOWIE]

[Sokoro]

How do I create monsters only version? I commented out all weapons in that main decorate file but gzdoom says "execution could not continue / no player classes defined"
I even tried to leave the doomguy.txt in, but that did not solve the issue.

@Soroko You need to also delete the KEYCONF file which adds the custom player class

[Sokoro]

Thanks.

Here is fix for the shotgunguy emiting light when walking, change line 872 in file GLDEFS to:

Code: Select all

    frame SPSRF { light ZOMBIEATK }

Some bugs and etc.
Weapons:
...
-Vanilla gloves Skin still appearing with Black gloves Skin on the first super shotgun sprite,very easy to notice with fullscreen hud
...

That is because the black gloves variant of ssg has only code for fire and recoil fire, it takes spawn, ready, select and deselect code from normal ssg. somebody would need to code it.

How do you calculate tics in the decorate code for weapons?

I could not reproduce the bug with archvile attack and pain elemental`s pain (heh), well the pain elemental sometimes can get hit with lost soul and "pained" while you "pain" him with your weapon, and archviles sometimes change target before they finish their attack, but that is how it is supposed to be.

The bug with black gloves shotgun sprite being cut short is because he used wrong brown gloves sprite as base when creating the black variant. He used sprite from previous frame instead of sprite that was made for this x,y coordinates.

I was reading the code I bit and I noticed lot of inconsistency in it, some stuff is done a bit differently in different weapon files etc. I suggest focusing on bug-fixes and code polish before adding new features. I guess that is one of disadvantages of opensource code, that everyone can see your mistakes and errors.

Coolio, this was driving me nuts. I'm still a total newbie reading Zdoom; I thought that file was pointing to the sprites in the BRIGHTMAPS folder, so in theory it wasn't wrong, but it makes a lot of sense when you realize it's actually the Decorate files what manages which sprites are gonna be used.

That said, I found another mistake looking at that problem:

It's using the wrong sprite!!!1!11!

Try to summon monsters using the "summon" command on console. Example: summon archvile. That way you can easily reproduce that one bug without going around in circles for about more that 10 minutes searching for the monster to test the bug on.

It hadn't even occurred to me to use the sprite fixing project as a base. I certainly try to fix any weirdness where I see it, but I guess that's redundant if someone's already done it for me. The thing with the chaingunner animation is that the flying gibs are actually supposed to be flung backwards, so they stay in the air a little longer than would seem obvious. I know what you mean, though, for the longest time I thought they were supposed to be flying to the left and it looked weird.

@script errors:
I had tried renaming the cards, but what seems to happen is the name change severs their connection to the appropriate doors, and they cease to open anything.

The perkweapon redundancy just made me slap my face. I had perkweapons in my autoload, then I was running this mod on top of that. SIGH.

Ultimate Doom compatibility has been weird since the beginning. I figured out that the revenant/chaingunner sprites don't play nice for some reason; if you just delete their sprite folders it's all good. I'd just post up a version without them, but I'm holding onto this idea that there should be a simple way to make it work without deleting anything.

Can you tell me, what's the difference between A_Light1 and A_Light2?

They enact different brightness levels. https://zdoom.org/wiki/A_Light This article has some good info!

What means "CHAN_WEAPON" after "weapons/sshotf" in A_PlaySound of SSG?

Thanks for help.

Quick bug report. I like the recoil that's been added to smooth doom but I keep getting this error message spamming like crazy when using the plasma gun saying p_startscript: unknown script "glovetoggle", and sometimes the plasma gun disappears completely when using it with recoil enabled. I hope this can be easily fixed up cause I love this mod to bits.

[Gifty]

Thanks! The glovetoggle error is just some leftover code I forgot to delete, if you don't want to wait for the update you can fix it by going in to the plasma rifle decorate script, search for "glovetoggle" and just delete that line of code.

I can't seem to reproduce the disappearing bug you mention, that's weird. Hopefully I can get another update out soon.

[blablabla93]

I'm a complete noob at programming, know nothing of code, but this seems easy enough. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot

[EmperorGrieferus]

Will the rest of the resurrection animations be implemented?
P.S.: Why I should do it by myself? I know, that's easy for me, but I still don't understand your position.
