MetaDoom v7.1 "Ghost" - This Mod Has Moved. See OP for details.

Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.
Forum rules
The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

Please read the full rules for more details.

Re: MetaDoom v4 "Fred" (p79)

Post by Prologue-9 »

So I was in the middle of a playthrough, and somewhere far off a Summoner got aggro, and decided to start bringing in its monsters. By time I got to where he was, my framerate dropped to zero. A quick flythrough with Freeze, and, well...
Spoiler:
I would suggest putting a cap on how many Unwilling the Summoner can, well, summon. Otherwise left unchecked it gets a little nasty.

Looks like that Summoner just went nuts.wad. *ba dum tsss*

Anyway you have a point, though. Summoner without summoning limit sounds kinda... Unfair.

Fixed, thanks. Summoners now have a limit on how many times they can do their summon attack if no players can see them.

I'll probably kick out an update tomorrow if nothing else pops up.

v4.1 "Fred" Download (~29mb)
Changelog wrote:A number of small fixes based on feedback from the previous release. Thanks, folks!

- Fixed Zombieman spawners only spawning Hell Razers when "More Actors" is off.
- Zombiemen, Shotgun Guys and Z-Secs are now slightly less perfectly accurate.
- Sawcubi now have a 50/50 chance of dropping a chainsaw when gibbed, by popular demand.
- Summoners now have a limit on the number of times they can, well, summon, without any players looking, preventing cases of wayward Summoners flooding the map.
- Summoners now appear after 20 maps instead of 10.

Not sure if you can do something about this, but here goes.

So I was playing Doom II Reloaded with your mod (because yes, I still play your mod, as it is awesome :wink: ) and I made it to MAP02: Return to UAC. If you do not know the map, at the very end of it (which is a hub type of a room), an Archvile is spawned and starts reviving previously killed monsters upon your return. A Summoner was spawned instead of an Archvile, however, but only an Unwilling was standing at the spot where the Archvile normally spawns. The Summoner itself is nowhere to be seen and the map statistics tell me there is one monster left. Using Noclip, I found out it was still inside its teleporting room, activated but stuck and busy spawning Unwilling.

Script error, "metadoom-optional_v4.1_fred.pk3:actors/monsters/wolfss.dec" line 25:
Parent type 'MonsterCore' not found in MetaWolfensteinSS

Execution could not continue.

Script error, "metadoom-optional_v4.1_fred.pk3:actors/monsters/wolfss.dec" line 47:
Invalid parameter 'a_metableed'

I'm running the latest GZDoom (3.1.10). How can I fix this?

Major Cooke made some changes to the Summoner's summoning behavior last night, hopefully that improves matters.

Change your load order so that Optional is loaded after MetaDoom.

I take it there are still more releases to come and you are not quite done with MetaDoom yet after all?

I think all he's doing for now is balance tweaks and bug fixes.
Now he's working on another mod.

Nothing ever truly ends around here. I'll still push out updates every now and then, but my priorities are currently elsewhere.
