ZDoom

Got some good news, I've been learning how to Zscript and the sound effects from Dead Marine are coming to Smooth Doom in easily togglable form. Yippee!

The weapon code is also getting a drastic cleanup which should make things much easier to maintain and modify in the future. A whole new set of gore and particle effects are also in the works, sprite-art style With "Metal Slug" levels of fluidity.

Good news, Gifty! Thanks for coming back to updating SD!

That's gonna be really amazing. Hope the graphic also has the same feeling as MS' like Scuba Steve's awesome work!

... But not too much, of course!

You should add in an option in the settings to remove the pistol altogether, and make the player's default weapon the rifle. It'd do a lot for immersion, and I think it'd go well with the other gameplay mutators!

Just want to start off by saying this is my bar none my favorite vanilla enhancement mod out there. I run this combined with Perkristian's sound pack and Nash's Gore Mod and its great, especially with the SSG gibbing.

I saw that you were hard at work on a new version incorporating ZScript, and I had a request for that release. Is there any way you could incorporate compatibility options similar to Beautiful Doom so that this could be used not only with weapon mods, but also vanilla replaced and DEHACKED monsters in mapsets? I can't be the only one who thinks being able to use this with gameplay mods or megawads like Eviternity would go a long way for people getting the most enjoyment out of your mod.

Also this is a total nitpick, but it would also be cool if Vanilla and Black gloves animations could be converted to paletted PNGs like Smooth Weapons Enhanced. I would understand if that would be out of the scope of possibility for the Doom64 weapon set, (as that was using a different engine for the N64) but it'd be cool for the originals to add to the authenticity.

does this work with project brutality?

Why don't you try it yourself and find out?

why does the chainsaw seem to get bigger and smaller
also somethings off with the pistol firing

Can you be more specific?

awesome mod, makes the weaponry of Doom feel much more alive, though I have a suggestion:
can the rifle fire a bit faster than it currently fires, even if it's technically a fast pistol?

Great mod, but here are some suggestions:
-Add a mutator to lower self-damage from rockets, allowing for easier rocketjumps
-Change the 64 Rifle sprite, the current one looks too close to the pistol, not to mention looks ugly
-If possible, add a melting animation for the mugshot
-If possible, add options to disable smooth weapons or monsters.
-If possible, add an option for gloved fists with the classic doom/black gloves
-The 64 SSG doesn't fire faster
EDIT: One problem:
The Doom 64 weapons have aspect ratio correction applied to them, so you may need to either do some Z-magic or resize the sprites to fix the improper scaling.
i'm not quite sure whether or not they're aspect ratio corrected.

Thanks! I'm not sure when it will come out, but I have an update in progress right now that tweaks the rifle to make it a little more useful/unique amongst the other weapons. My idea is to turn it into a spam-fire weapon kind of like the Metal Slug pistol (each click = one shot), much faster and more reactive than the pistol but too inconsistent and finger-fatiguing to undermine the chaingun.

I am so glad you still working on this mod I have a small request: could you add an option to enable pistol start on every level? it's more of a "quality of life" feature so we don't have to do it by console everytime

Haven't tried it, but I assume Always Pistol Start is Smooth Doom compatible; seems better to have a simple mod that handles this overall than expect every mod to implement it themselves manually: https://jp.itch.io/doom-pistol-start

I can confirm it works with IDCLEVER Starter.
Also, I made an addon that adds gloves to the classic fists (brown gloves only)
