[Release] The Trailblazer - 1.4c, Slow yourself down

[affandede]

Scrap are not being picked up in the latest version of GZDoom. Well, you can pick them up but it doesn't count towards your scrap meter and you can't upgrade your weapons.

I just checked to see if I'm having this issue and I was able to upgrade the Cradle & Grave handguns with no issues. Check to see if you've deactivated crafting in the Blaze It Stuff menu. Also, what level set are you playing this with and are you using any other mods with Trailblazer?

Checked if "deactivate crafting" option is set to on but no, it was set to off. Tried it without any additional mods or addons on vanilla doom 2. Still the same. Talon's fixpack doesn't help either. Which version of gzdoom are you using, Nems?

Odd.

Are you sure you're using the right hud? Scrap is only visible on the hud that shows the mugshot, not the two packs of cigarettes.

[affandede]

I am using the hud with mugshot, with scrapometer and all. Even after picking some scrap (seeing its pickup message), the meter stays on zero. However, IDFA'ing gives you scrap and fills your meter.

[Somagu]

The meter doesn't change when you pick up scrap, which is why I asked. That's just the progress meter for the current weapon, which is applied manually from the inventory. Carried scrap is a completely different value.

can we expect any major update for this mod in the near future?

I just found out about this great gameplay mod. Shame on me...

Currently I play Trailblazer with the episodic map-pack Eviternity and I noticed something strange right in the first map of the first episode.

Here is a screenshot that shows some sprites of the shotgun floating/jumping in the air and in motion it looks like they are firing. I couldn't reproduce this problem with other mods that change the weapons, therefore I think it could be a bug of Trailblazer. Maybe you can take a look?

Anyway, Trailblazer is a fantastic mod. Keep up the great work!

[Talon1024]

That's because the raindrop sprites in Eviternity and the Fleshrend shotgun sprites in Trailblazer use the same prefix (RNDR).

[Nems]

I encountered that issue as well. Turning off the weather effects in Eviternity is what I did to keep from running into that graphical glitch.

You may have to edit Eviternity in SLADE to get access to the weather effects though due to the following:

"MENUDEF" lump is named "MENUDEF_" instead, and GZDoom doesn't recognize it as a menu lump. Renaming it to "MENUDEF" with Slade enables the weather toggle options menu.

[Jezze]

Thank you very much for the advice!

I modified the Eviternity WAD and renamed the texture RANDA0 to RAINA0 and applied the changes to the ZSCRIPT file.

Recently played this mod again with D-TST map pack. I still can see the taste and awesomeness behind the mod! I'm still having fun and i would like to talk about some suggestions and feedback that i never mentioned before:

---

- I had some minor problem with the Spike Bomb. Its ACTOR Size is quite not small enough to go through the semi-small Gaps and Barriers. Also it Bounces pretty higher, so it takes a while to put the bomb into some hole.


- Hope i'm not asking too much, but i'm expecting Bitchmaker to be able to dual-wield. I know it might ruin the balance, but i mean... It already gets unbalanced, but fun to tinker around with!


- Had fun using Macheterang but the game randomly crashed and here are the console report. I'm using Trailblazer version v1.4c and GZDOOM version g4.1.3. Luckily it never happened too often, but just in case of glitchy fire.


- Weapon Zoom in this Mod works flawlessly and fantastically. But when you hold Reload key and Secondary Fire key (Working as Zoom in the mod) at the same time on any kind of weapon you can zoom, it repeats zooming and unzooming constantly. It's endless until i let go the buttons. So yeah, this particular Glitch makes Weapon Zoom quite faster than just pressing Zoom key averagely.


- It's a question about visual effect, but how can i expand the delay time or turn off the throwing cigarette butt? I know that Malcolm is one Serious Walking Tobacco Furnace, but i would like to make him stop spending his cigarette so he can stop surprising me! He throws them butts, Unannounced and gets me all the time.


- Can you make the Nicotine Rush more informative about what Powerup you've got? Like displaying Powerup names and etc. Yes, you can predict the powerup by the color and the head, but it gets quite confusing during the tense battle.


- Don't take this too hard because i know you're still busy with other stuff and it is mostly not recommended to play with Zandronum (aka the-easiest-multiplayer-engine), but can i also expect him to have crouch sprites?


- Patriarch Grenade Machine Gun makes quite weird Glitch- whenever i turn on the homing grenade mode, and do the secondary attack until i spend all ammo in the mag while staying at the area where the grenades goes out of my sight, the glare stops and just stay there. I guess the prop is blocking the bouncy nades and makes them hard to continue with the script fully?


- In my Opinion, momentum of dashing key input is way too sensitive. I tend to strafe often to dodge the enemy fire, but eventually i do the dash when i don't need it! And would be lovely if there's another option to indicate that i can dash again.


- Forgot to mention this, but Projectile-based weapons like Bitchmaker, Chrome/Auto Justice and Skullthrottle suffers don't-shoot-at-near-the-corner problem.


- I can spawn an Unlimited numbers of Magazine on any weapon that has Magazine by switching quickly or just dropping it. It might make people confusing while reloading quick by switching weapon because it gives false information that they actually reloaded it but it's not, in fact.


- So i already got the Cradle and Grave Revolvers and upgraded fully. What am i gonna do with this one? I'm thinking about making them into scrap parts. Because why not?

And that's about it! It's an honour to play Trailblazer again. I'm having Blazing fun with it! So keep up the good work

EDIT: Added more feedback!
