FragTrak Four! More Final Doomer compatibility!

[epiccolton26]

The firing frame for the pistol also seems to be lagging behind a bit. Fixed it by copying and pasting the original Pistol flash state from the QZDoom source .pk3 into the class code for Fragtrak's Pistol and setting it from 7 to 6. I don't know of a better fix other than that, so don't be hesitant to put a better one into Fragtrak.

Oh, great! I'm keeping this in mind for the next update, there is a lot of refactoring on the bench. We might shave a few KB off again.

I'm sorry for the question but i didn't find the answer for it, so what does ranking weapons and ranking up does?

Nothing gameplay-wise. Game balance is strictly identical to vanilla (and will be even more true to form when FFour Final is out). All the ranks and such are purely cosmetic.

Important patch is out! It fixes a lot, and I mean a LOT of critical errors. Completely new players can now actually use the damn thing! And ultra-completionists won't crash and burn once they finally reach the maximum rank. Oh, they couldn't before, because I'm an idiot.

But! To compensate, you can now customize your fragtrak kill sound with 5 different sounds, and the scorecard is now totally done! With tons of percentages! Medal names! Individual kill counters, again! YOWZA! make sure you bind the page-flipping thing, too!

The filename is different now, so make absolutely sure you load "fragtrak.pk3" from now on!

This mod is pretty damn cool. My only issue with it is that the hud makes it quite a lot harder to read what your health and armor values are from reading the numbers. It would also be cool to be able to view the stats page through a menu or something that doesn't require binds.

Would it be too much to request a Smooth Doom version of this mod for both monsters and weapons? I like vanilla and all but whenever I choose to play vanilla I usually do it with something like Smooth Doom for graphical enhancements without affecting gameplay and it would make a great combo with FragTrak.

I think I might touch up the digits. They ARE a bit small. I originally wanted "stick" leds instead of matrix leds.

I would love to but it'd be very meh looking and hard to implement. Sorry, but the hud scorecard will have to stay. :c

Compatibility is actually something being worked on! Sadly, Gifty has a... very strange naming convention which makes it very, very hard to work with. However, Fragtrak will be compatible with Legendoom on release.

HOLY CRABCAKES FR4GTRAK IS OUT IT'S OFFICIAL

What does it do? Well, compared to the previous version, a lot of bugs got purged, better medals for the BFG (thanks mor'ladim!), genocide ranks are in.. Yadda, yadda.

Most importantly, Fragtrak's overhead has been completely redone! It is now compatible with other mods, although I am only certain it works with LegenDoom 1.6.
Please try out other mods with FragTrak and tell me if it works out or not so I can add them to the list! Have fun!

Holy crackers! I'll be sure to test it with other mods for compatibility checks then!

What is the criteria of mods that are compatible with FragTrak? The vast majority don't work. Should it be 1 weapon per slot, vanilla damage types, and 1 monster per monster type? Can different monsters be used at all?

Fragtrak recognizes weapons and monsters through their actor name. A mod that follows doom's naming convention should work.

Smooth doom has issues because not all actors follow that convention, some have oddball names ("Sexysoul" for lost souls, for instance).

Quite unfortunate that most mods don't. I hope support for mods improves in the future. I'm quite enjoying my time with FragTrak and Legendoom, though.Would it be possible to make a custom compatibility patch to add Legendoom's HUD stuff?

It's sorta doable, at least weapon-wise. I just need to know the actor names exactly and then work from there. It's a bit of an If bloat, but it's the best I can do.

Fucking with the HUD is beyond my skill level, sadly, as none of the HUD code is mine. (It's Lud's.) You can still use the weapon page from Legendoom to check your current legendaries. Porting over Legendoom's SBARINFO to ZScript might prove very problematic!

Important!

I've just patched a critical error which made Fragtrak crash on load for new users that run GzD 3.2.1 or latter. Updating won't change your statistics!
If the date displayed on startup is not December 11, update your Fragtrak file! Same link as usual.

If you find any other crashing or non-crashing bugs, please report them to me immediately!

[Tapwave]

Whoops, seems like not all the holes were plugged.. That should do it now. Imagine the post from before happened today instead, alright?

The date should say December 12 instead.
