DBT ANNOUNCEMENT

//==========================================================================================
//==========================================================================================
Hello everyone.

Sorry I havent been very active over here, but I've been focusing all my modding attention on my other project, and probably will continue that way for quite a while. Overall, I think I've given all I could give to D4D in terms of it's direction. It's no secret that my other project is very similar to this one; but it has completely different aims on many things, and that's the path I want to continue exploring. Because of that I've neglected D4D a lot, and due to some stuff that will be happening in RL in the upcoming year, I just know I wont have enough time to keep this particular "high-profile" mod updated or in a healthy state.

Considering all that, Im leaving this project, and it stays in the hands of the other devs. This doesnt mean much in terms of "what's gonna happen to the mod", since the team is quite capable of handling it and moving it forward.


I just wanted to make this little announcement to explain why this thread is getting locked, why I won't be giving updates myself about D4D in the future, and why it's gonna be kinda futile to report bugs / post suggestions for it to me.

As soon as the new D4D thread is created, it will be linked here so that whoever stumbles on this thread as it gets buried, they'll still have a handy link to find the newer version.

ModDB links will probably stay around for the 1.x and 2.x versions of the mod, but newer versions will most likely be hosted somewhere else and/or by someone else.

On a personal note, I want to thank everyone for playing this thing, and letting me know how much fun they've had with the mod, for the suggestions, complaints and even hate. You all got us to get the gameplay cacoward, and overall, it's been crazy!

And thanks to everyone who participated in contributing stuff to the mod! Heh, Im making it sound like the mod is dying or as if I was. It's neither. It's only an administration change :P

Once again, thanks everyone. Im glad I was able to participate in a project that had such crazy reach.

To the entire D4D Team: Rock on people!


-DBT

Moderator's Note: D4D can be found here, now.

** Finally out **

Bringing weapons we loved from Doom4, and adapting monsters into a classic style, this is the result of about 6 months of hard work and the dedication of 3 people: DBThanatos, Major Cooke & Michaelis

We proudly bring Doom(4) for Doom.

Our own tribute to a fantastic game, that despite being awesome, left us wanting more! So, we ported it back to it's ancestor. And that's what we have here.




Version 2.0

What's new?

- More weapons: Now we bring the long awaited MP weapons: Repeater rifle, vortex rifle, and the completely new "hellshot": The Carrion Cannon!
- More upgrades: Sad because Some weapons didnt have upgrades? Well, be sad no more! Not only the new weapons have upgrades, we took care of the oldies too! Pistol, Static Rifle, Lightning gun, and even the BFG have upgrades now!
- Glory Kills: Long awaited! You can now do finisher moves on monsters! Go nuts
- Glory Kill Options: So you dont like them to stagger? you dont like the highlights? you dont like them being noisy? you dont like them being staggered for too long? You dont like glory kills at all? Well, go insane personalizing this stuff to your liking
- New powerups: Haste, Quad Damage, Regeneration, and even a Quad Money! Oh yes
- Suit upgrades: No need to have crazy argent cells and praetor tokens and all that. Just use your hard earned credits to enhance your armor suit to do all kinds of crazy stuff.
- Demon runes: Be the demon and kill everyone around you.
- Reworked upgrade menu: Less shiny. Much more useful.
- And too many other things to list. Find out yourself!

Remember, you must always rebind your keys! Lots of stuff have changed!

We brought a new toy to the game too: Proj2Music3Pk3

//==========================================================================================

** IMPORTANT INFO! **

USE GZDoom 2.2.0, NOT DEVBUILDS! THEY MESS UP STUFF!

This mod uses a whole bunch of custom options. It's highly recommended to install this is a fresh folder, since this mod is gonna work a lot with custom bindings which might not play along nicely with the regular bindings in other mods

HUGE LETTERS BECAUSE PEOPLE IGNORE THE DOCUMENTATION
Q. Can I run it with brutal doom?
A. No. "Brutal doom" and "Doom(4) for Doom" are both gameplay mods that cannot be stacked on top of each other. Same goes for any gameplay mod.
Nor should you add other gameplay mods, like monster randomizers or Qtilt. If you add custom monsters on top of this, you'll get almost no credits (currency), special effects (stun and whatnot) and special rewards. If you add Qtilt, footsteps and whatnot, it will break several of the D4D effects.

  • YOU MUST BIND YOUR D4D KEYS: There's quite a few. Go under Options -> D4D mod options -> Customize Keybinds
  • Remember you can always exit a demon morph at any time by pressing the "mod switch" key.
  • For better view of the D4 reticles, disable your standard crosshair
  • There's an entire file with information of what does each D4D option does. READ IT!
  • You can switch to standard doom monsters instead of the custom D4D ones. Go to . Go to Options -> D4D mod options -> Monster type to change it
  • This mod is NOT easy. Ultra violence is Ultra violence despite looking like it's in place of "Normal". The next skills are harder, for real. Dont come to complain "Nightmare is too hard" ;)
  • For the love of god. After buying a weapon mod, make sure to equip it!

nice. reminiscent of the doom3 weapons mod for zdoom... well its the same kinda thing aint it? love the implementation and the use of Neccronixis's spritework.
its visually a fair balance of the classic doom meets the hardcoreness of doom4... :twisted: *edit* it is, however, sorely needing a gore mod with this... I'm no fan of brutal doom but its got to have a bit of goreno in there for the doom4yness factor...feel free to use the monstas8.pk3 from my oldskool mod as a base... I'll enjoy seeing it when its all done.


...this NEEDS to tried on btsx... :D

At least the guns looks more responsive than the New doom counterpart
wich means that your making the original devs look like it was barely well made
So Good work

And CustomDoom on 5x multiplier for overkillus maximus. Maybe adjust speed mult, too. For the hell of it. :P

Looks promising, though I think there should be another hand holding the SSG.

Yeah, but this makes it possible for - you probably guessed right - dual SShotgun carnage! Doesn't sound too Doom-like but I wouldn't mind seeing that implemented as an optional setting, heh. I think it could be controlled via CVAR, whether you'd pick up another SShotgun or only the ammo.

This looks good, but you should take it a step (or two) further. What this needs is not just DOOM 4 weapons, but enemy sprites, music, and maybe even a map pack. Seriously, that would be 'devilishly clever' (*walks over to corner and assumes fetal position*).

dual supers...its always so tempting. even as as add-on for the mod... trailblazer does it, descent into heresy does it. this should do it :D

NO BLOODY WAY

This would be better if you could play it with the maps you like. Also, new monsters could break a lot of mods that add new monsters.

I HATE WEAPON MODS THAT HAVE THEIR OWN LEVELS OR CUSTOM MONSTERS

Well, there will be more than just this. So it might take a little while.

Well, it will have improved gore. This is just a quick teaser of the WIP weapons. Many dont even have the alt fires implemented. Currently, only the pistol and shotgun have them. All the rest are missing. I will indeed add extra gore. Not BD levels of gore, but enough to satisfy my needs :P Can you possibly link me to your mod to check it out? :D

I tried to respect the firing times of Doom4, but also balance them to doom. The sheer doom(1)guy speed makes the weapon feel so much faster overall.

Heheh! loving the enthusiasm there

Well, that's because the original spriteset that Neccronixis released had it like this. He recently (today i think) updated the sprites with the hand below. I might add it, but it means having to toy AGAIN with the offsets.

Now that's an interesting idea. It could make up for the lack of alt fires of this weapon.

As per my customs, I will indeed add some extra visual effects overall to the monsters and whatnot. Music, if only for the titlemap. Map pack... that's beyond me. I am not a mapper so I cant do this myself.

Now if someone wants to make a mapset for this... feel free to contact me ;)

Well, if maps were to be added, they could easily be an optional package. Regarding the monsters, I cant promise I wont change the behaviors, to add a couple things here and there. Shouldnt be too crazy. I hope. No guarantees though.

I havent got bored of Doom4's maps. But i can definitely relate to the feeling of wanting to use the weapons in differents mapsets. Hence D4D :D
