ZDoom

Posted: **Thu Apr 24, 2014 9:19 am**

After getting burnt out and frustrated with Brutal Doom (which in January 2015 I later abandoned completely), I still wanted vanilla gameplay but I liked having alternate deaths for the monsters (and other things) so I put together this for my entertainment and yours:

Download - v1.63 - ModDB link now live!

SCREENSHOTS: HERE

This does not touch weapons code at all, so use whatever weapons mod you desire that doesn't alter the monsters. Be sure to load it after RDND.

Features:
-Multiple alternate deaths for nearly every monster (sans Cyber)
-Correct blood for cacos and hell nobles
-Randomly chosen gore decorations!
-Randomly chosen tree decorations!
-Proper SS Nazi uniform color
-Some smooth animations courtesy of Smooth Doom mod!
-Works with ZDoom, Zandronum and GZDoom!
-Demons can be gibbed! (1.2+)
-Full compatibility with Zandronum! (Except GLDEFS, which are absent in its version)
-Brand new Nazi voiceover (1.5+)
-Romero's Rotations implemented (1.5+)
-Many miscellaneous message changes (1.6+)
-Great for multiplayer co-op!

-CREDITS lump looks weird under Zandronum under non-4:3 screen ratio when not looking at it via "Read This!" "Help/F1 button.

Oh cool, I needed a break from Brutal Doom.

Will play when I get the chance.

Lokks nice. trying it out now.

Mr. Chris wrote:-Does not work with Zandronum at all, since it does not support the NODELAY flag in DECORATE.

You could've gone with the old way of having a 0-tic duration as the first state under the Spawn state label.

-Cacodemons look slightly washed out in a few frames in software mode due to conversion from PNG to Doom GFX.

What was the reason for converting them?

-Implement inverted arm loss death for demon/spectre, needs proper velocity going right.

The solution I offered in the "How do I..." thread works for me, I just tested it; with negative velocity the arm went into the opposite direction.

@Blue Shadow: For ZDoom compatibility, not sure if it supported PNG 32 bit? I also tested -8 with GZDoom and it just dropped on the ground where it fell for some reason.

When I did the 0 tic duration with the usage of the TNT1A0 sprite placeholder, the randomization for the states on that line did not work for me.

You need to have two lines of 0 tic calls otherwise the first occurence in a Spawn state is skipped over. e.g.

Code: Select all

Spawn:
	TNT1 A 0 
	TNT1 A 0 A_Jump(128, "Frame2")
Frame1:
	EXMP A -1
	stop
Frame2:
	EXMP B -1
	stop

I did try that but it briefly shows nothing where a marine corpse or hanging/impaled body would be in the player's sight. (IE E1M1)

ZDoom 'supports' PNG 32-bit. By down-paletting them to 256 color. Also, your method should be:

Code: Select all

Spawn:
TNT1 A 0
TNT1 A 0 A_DoSomeCodeHere

Thanks, I'll remember I won't need to downpalette any future additions to this mod, which I know I will want to (IE Cyberdemon death, normal Zombieman deaths and SS Nazi normal deaths)

The original version of this mod was in WAD format but that would have made it more difficult to deal with stuff as I expanded it .

Glad you chose a dark map to show them off

But seriously, very good work as always Mr . Chris, I'm liking the new SS uniforms a lot.
