Beautiful Doom pre-7 build 7d9dbf8 (June 11, 2019)

[Squirb]

One minor issue I've come across when using the newest version of Beautiful Doom with mods such as Zagemod and Pandemonia:

When Imps throw a fireball, they enter a death animation even though they haven't been damaged/killed. Using only Beautiful Doom doesn't cause the imps to do the death fireball dance. With the mods, disabling the Imp replacement state within the options sorts this out.

BD's Lost Soul death animations revert to vanilla mid-way through.

I'm also seeing stuttering at the beginning moments of each level, even before killing an enemy, so there shouldn't be any gibs to speak of. This is on a Ryzen 7 2700 with a GeForce 970 with no other mods loaded.

You're combining several mods that modify both weapons and monsters behaviour. That's never a good idea. I'm surprised that it even works at all.

On an unrelated note, when using Beautiful Doom with other weapon mods and having Beautiful Doom weapons set to Disable in the options, the Former Human monster can still occasionally drop the Beautiful Doom pistol which will then add itself to your arsenal. Once again that is with Beautiful Doom weapons disabled. I think in version 6, where you had to edit the mod manually, this did not use to happen.

That enhancement mod from 2008.

Hi, Jekyll!

I've been working on a Neural Upscaled sprite set for your mod. I basically upscaled most of the sprites with Waifu2x and then run an ImageMagick script on them to remove some artifacts.

I have fully completed weapons and monsters, with more to come. Everything new resides on the Hires folder so it does not conflict with anything you've done so far.

Would you be interested in trying these out? If you grant me contributor permission I can create a pull request.

Let me know, best regards!

it would be good if u added an option for disabling decorative objects like lamps,torches etc,played some wads and they all had custom decorations

I tried this mod again after going all purist for a while and noticed a few issues conflicting with regular GZDoom behaviour:

1) https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/776230508641111233/4C0F4BE89D5493A65AD928EB7B7E9DB5EC54A940/
A few of the corpses, such as the lying Zombieman under the crosshair above, block the player when playing in (strict) compat or just with infinite height on in general. I haven't noticed this issue with any other monsters or gibs and it only happens with that particular death animation. Turning off the fancy death animation option appears to fix this.

2) The "deep water" effect causes some enemies to not be able to fire projectiles over barriers they otherwise can in vanilla. This can be seen in something like Scythe map23 where Imps and Barons are unable to attack Revenants behind short barricades while standing in the blood.

3) Punching the air does not always alert enemies like shooting does. Sometimes they hear you and other times you need to fire a pistol or something at a wall to alert enemies by way of normal sound propagation.

All experience with vanilla settings in the options.

Uh...That's not bug. The option to disable replacements is included precisely for cases like this. You can't combine replacements in GZDoom, you can get only one version of Imp.

This is intended behavior with Enhanced and Mondern. Swinging fists in the air doesn't alert enemies, punching/kicking a wall does but only within a certain range. But if that happens with vanilla, this shouldn't be the case, I'll double-check...

I'll probably disable deep water effect entirely, too many cases when it causes issues.

This will be included once I manage another release. The lack of this option is strictly temporary.

I dunno if I'm going crazy or not, but did this mod have plans for an automatic super-shotty? Because I know it was some kinda smooth doom-like mod...

An Automatic SSG used to exist in the Modern Guns arsenal, yes, but it was ultimately removed for balance and stylistical reasons, and replaced with a more traditional SSG. It was shown in a video here.

This also happens with the zombieman death where the head gets shot off. I've tested adding the A_NoBlocking tag on those two deaths, and it now works properly when trying to pass a corpse hanging over a ledge or on stairs.

Not seen this happen anywhere else yet though.

Yes, that's an issue of missing A_NoBlocking. Thanks for reporting, the fix will be uploaded to the repo shortly.

Hey Jekyll, I have a few requests/suggestions I've been meaning to mention to you for almost a year now. This goes without saying, but obviously only if you are up for them.

Suggestions:

---

- The "Perfected Mugshots" mod would be a good fit for this mod and the newer HUD design. It just adds to the smoother animations overhaul even more.
- If possible, increase the liquids glow brightness some. It might just be me, but they seem kind of dim sometimes.

Minor Requests:

---

- Can you consider making this mod compatible with Reikall's Doom Voxels? It somewhat works now, but there are a few items such as armor/helmet pickups and a few others that Beautiful Doom overwrites or prevents (not sure what's happening), because without BD running, all the voxels show up correctly. Not a big deal at all, just think it would be cool if it was fully compatible.
- Can you add an option to turn off/on Level stats on the HUD? I like to use the Simple HUD addons mod that has a really nice level stats feature, and it's redundant having them both on screen. Again, not a big deal, but would be cool.

Also, I'm no modder, so I have no idea what certain error codes mean and if they even effect the mod. With that said, here are the errors from the log file anytime I run BD. Are these errors normal for the current build, or am I just doing something wrong? Using GZDoom 4.2.0, and no other mods whatsoever.

How do you change the hud so it becomes the default hud while using all of the beautiful doom perks. Thanks
