Liking the Mauser and the cheeto dust tracers. Few things though:

Hell Knight replacing Black Weredragons don't do a check for LoS before attacking, so if you have a bunch of awakened ones in a level, it will be a cacophony of impacting fireballs.

Chaingunners being jacketed zombiemen seems out of place, compared to the other monsters (new monsters are pretty great btw)

Lastly, some sort of stripper clip for the Mauser would be nice. Good update all considered.

im gonna lead my 2c as what to do for the future without suggesting feature bloat

1: Add a fully auto c96 alt fire
to be honest a lot of folks were expecting the c96 to be fully automatic when first shown, granted thats only in the chinese variants except for a small test field, but at the least it'd give it a proper alt fire so you dont have to sacrifice initial designs

2: Finish up that gatling gun
that thing is fantastic, and this mod is in desperate need of a proper fully automatic weapon

3: Add some sort of long range explosive weapon
the sad reality of it is, is that the dynamite, whilst can be thrown far, isnt far enough, and even if it can be thrown far it cant go straight. thats the killer of a lot of mods is that there needs to be a proper straight shooting explosive in the end, simply for icon of sin compatibility. Use that explosive rifle idea, or dynamite bows, or hell even a giant cannonball shooter to keep in theme, its just one of those things that because of the nature of the boss, you kinda have no choice but to add some sort of straight shooting explosive. its for wad and levelset compatibility.

4: Shrink and speed up the tracer projectiles
if you're gonna go for that over hitscans, it's really important to have them as tiny (but noticable) as possible, as again for wad support. some wads you have to shoot a switch thru even a tiny tiny hole, and that can be a hassel with the current system.

5: Something has to be done with the 1887
its more about how it animates and how it looks. The weird bending/rotating one handing it is actually really... jarring? like i can get the implied motion, but it doesnt really look natural or clean at all

Not to be rude but am i the only one who thinks the bullet puff in this mod looks like exploding glitter.

Yeah, like I said, the tracers are more like fireballs, not only having a big bright fiery trail, but also because they explode. And the most obnoxious part is, they do that even when you hit something fleshy. It just isn't a very good tracer effect in my opinion. :/

[Jeimuzu73]

But they fit perfectly for an fire-themed weapons mod! You got a download for those tracers?

Were they? Were they really, though? :/ Can people stop talking for other people in this thread, please?

Anyways, the C96 does have a proper alt-fire. It's called firing the C96 in your other hand. It's not like it's a chore getting a second one since every chaingunner you meet's gonna drop one. If you really must insist though, alt-fire with a single C96 could have you attach that fancy wooden holster-stock the thing is so famous for, turning it into a fancy carbine for longer-range shooting. That would make more sense and be time period accurate, since full auto C96 variants didn't exist until the early thirties.

Also, editing this in, as I had this idea just now. Maybe make the self-rezzing revenants gibbable while they're on the ground to aid in ease of disposal? Although it's not so difficult to just machete fight them in a door frame and then crush them with it, I feel like being able to go all Evil Dead mode on the corpse with a more manual form of dismemberment would be a nice touch.

[ImpieTwo]

The current gun designs are pretty sweet so far (the double-barrel could still use an alt fire), but the extra monsters from realm667 just seem superfluous and don't fit the theme at all. I could probably see the death incarnates fitting in a Deadlands way, if they were wearing ruined old duds of the era.

[xenoxols]

Hey guys, update with better tracers and explosive rounds for the lever rifle. No new guns yet, sorry!

[ImpieTwo]

I just had a funny idea for a secret monster, maybe replacing the SS soldier or something.

[EddieMann]

For the SS soldier, try a confederate zombie.

Whenever I play it in Zdoom with the latest version, the HUD is gone;

[QuakedoomNukem Cz]

Try using full screen HUD.

Try using full screen HUD.

The problem's still there.

I'm disappointed you don't have a punt gun as the BFG.


It could be sawed off for all I care.

[demo_the_man]

Why don't you just use a maxim or Gatling gun for a BFG
