OK people, I finally came with a big new release for the H-Pack! Version 2.0 is now a reality!
You know, somehow and after all, I felt I couldn't leave alone this moddy thing, in fact it deserved a quite major update, why not... So then, I have put my best efforts all this last weeks ago, and after quite hard work and heavy testing, I present all of you the new HXRTC Ultimate Pack.
What does it bring? What's new? What's old? What's still missing? All those questions have their respective (and long) answers, but for shortening them and being a bit concise, here is a quick list for what you will encounter in v2.0:
- New Dual Weapons: now you can use two Berettas or two Plasma Rifles at the same time!
- New helpful items: more color variants of Health bonuses, Armor bonuses and SoulSpheres, plus two new MegaSphere-like items: AlphaSphere & BetaSphere!
- Restyled Health, Armor and Ammo system. Now you can bring PLENTY of these, much more than before, helping you a lot this way to survive in very heavy ambushes and/or insanely hard Megawads.
- A couple of new enemies: the Dark Gremlin and the Frosty Slug. Beware, they are very DANGEROUS!!!
- Included some new alternate deaths for Vanilla Doom enemies.
- Some new attack patterns for the Archvile: despiting he can't revive enemies anymore, his new hellish techniques make him a very powerful foe! You're warned!!!
- New damage factors for some weapons & enemies: fire weapons are very effective against icy enemies, but not versus stoney ones. Ice weapons are best against fire enemies & stone enemies. Poison attacks do not affect to poison-nature enemies.
- New secondary fires for Hell Missile Launcher and Flame Cannon: HML now can shoot Frozen Bones' seeking ice balls, and FC can shoot Rocky Mancubus' projectiles, allowing to cause heavy 'stone' damage to foes.
- Two new ammo items: Gasoil Cans and Venom Bottles. Use them to refill your special Monster Weapons!
- New big Mistery Boxes! What wonders you will encounter inside them? They will appear as a special reward when you take away huge Boss Enemies (Cybies or BigSpider species, you know!)
- Some new extra decoration elements.
- A new Title Header and Help screen.
- Many revisions, tweakings and bugfixings.Of course, the HXRTC-HUD included in pack has been also updated and been a bit restyled for including the new extra elements!
Still TO-DO list:
- Including a shop system for the H-Pack. (Holy hell, I find it harder than I thought! Need more time to accomplish this goal, hope I can reach it someday...)
- Some other things. (As I said once, there's always room to improve!)
For now, it's almost all... But not absolutely all, don't forget!
Cheerio and have fun!
