[Release] The Trailblazer - 1.5c

[Lime]

I saw the update to play this mod, but there is something missing. in "mod controls", the part to customize your inventory (activate item, next or previous item) has gone missing. even going in options, and customize controls, is the same thing.

[PillowBlaster]

Probably did all the menu tweaking stuff and forgot the rename the new control menu itself, so it wouldn't replace the old one. Yay me.

[Morter]

So what weapons are the Leadspitters meant to replace? I'm playing through Doom 1 episodes and I've seen the Chrome Justice (which I'm pretty sure replaces the SSG?) but I haven't run into the Uzis yet, even though I'm in episode 3 now...

Leadspitters are only dropped by Chaingunners. If you're playing Doom 1, sorry, you're shit out of luck unless you cheat them in.

Edit: I should also mention that cheating them in causes problems with the tinker toolbelt.

Where the hell did you find an SSG in the first Doom? XD

CJ and Leadspitters can appear in DooM 1 via certain monster mods: Colourful Hell has a couple monsters with those guns as guaranteed drops!

[Morter]

Oh yeah, I'm playing with Colourful Hell.

I guess CH replaced some enemies with SSG-having enemies (or at least gave an SSG drop?) but I haven't been lucky enough for the chaingun equivalent of that.

[DoomKrakken]

I see now.

Here's the thing... the code for the Chaingun replacer sets it up so that if the Chaingun was dropped (usually by a monster upon death), then it'll spawn a Leadspitter. Else, it'll spawn an FMG. It does this by checking for the DROPPED flag. Actors spawned via functions such as A_DropItem or A_NoBlocking are automatically assigned the DROPPED flag upon spawning.

Long story short, monsters will need to drop the Chaingun (or the Leadspitter pickup, directly) in order for the Leadspitter to appear.

Here's a new version of my fix pack: http://www.ciinet.org/kevin/myimages2/doom/tb/Trailblazer_v1.4b_fix.pk3

• Fixed un-upgraded single Leadspitter auto-reloading in Hexen
• Fixed Patriarch and spikebomb damage to other players in deathmatch
• Fixed dodge speed after respawn/resurrect
• Fixed Leadspitter spawns in deathmatch
• Fixed both Fleshrend and Leadspitter pickups in deathmatch

I also created a ZScript HUD for this mod: http://www.ciinet.org/kevin/myimages2/doom/tb/Trailblazer_v1.4b_zshud.pk3
The most notable difference between the SBARINFO HUD and this one is that the colour of the armor number is based on the armor class rather than the amount. It's even on GitHub.

[PillowBlaster]

Oh whoops, I should do s'more fixing then. Mind if I'll nab a thing or two out of it and slap it into base mod? And I see those uncommented powerups; I fixed those invoker warnings on my side, so there's that. Not sure if I wanna go for zscript in terms of hud yet though, cause I can't get a single dime out of it, and lord knows if I won't want to mess with it again. (I also ate the mana counters in Hexen, go me, welp.)

And as a side note, that's pretty impressive you did zscriptify the hud part, considering that... hud code isn't... most clean of things. I should probably dig through it to learn a thing or two.

[Talon1024]

Sure thing. Just put me in the credits if you do.

And I see those uncommented powerups

If you're talking about zscript.txt in the fix pack, I commented out the powerup code includes that so that players could load the fix pack without getting class redefinition errors.

[twelvenipon]

IN coop with DM flags - no spawn multiplayer weapons, rocket launcher(bitchmaker, patriarch) and chainsaw(colts) is not removed
how to fix? thanks

small update/ upgraded chrome justice using no upgraded version if out of ammo (empty)

Links do not work, could you give a new one?

I love this mod alot, especially when paired with colourfulhell. I do have an idea that might be a neat thing to consider in some capacity: Universal elemental damage attachments for weapons. I think it would be pretty neat to be able to apply, say, ice damage to my pistols or fire damage to my shotguns (dragon's breath ftw.) Ice for example could stun enemies for extended periods of time, while fire is a simple dot that maybe could spread between enemies. Poison would be...poison.

Maybe a limit could be only one element can be applied at on time.

a lot of spells in Guncaster use similar elemental systems, but require heavy modification to enemies in addition to the weapons to do so. Unfortunately such things break compatibility with other monster mods

that said if you havent, definitely try guncaster
