Toggling the spawn of the Bruiser Sphere is a damn fine idea and I'll actually begin working on that soon-ish. I'm laying the ground work for another mod but when I get a chance I'll put that in.

You way want to add the following mod to the recomended list.
Link:viewtopic.php?f=43&t=57819
It basicly adds marine enemys. good luck on those trap rooms now since almost everybody has a gun!
Regarding the movement itself. besides of the steping on top of enemys when you melle then. i don't think it needs work. however when combineing with certain mods (That i do know that does not replace just enemys [sometimes editing on my side solves this] and even mods that do replace just enemys like touhou-doom], the baron refuses to walk normaly and gets stuck on the not runing speed. even with auto-run on.
Regarding the "Belial?" The weapon that uses more then one ammo. i like the versatility but i think it kills stuff to fast for its cost (The bullets and alt-fire rocket are fine. especialy the mini-rockets since it does the same total damage a normal rocket would) The rest however need some work.
(BTW. i made a OP varient for personal use. when i'm in the mood too )

Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 7.31] 26/9/17 Now On Git!
While I have played and rather enjoy CW, I can't recommend it because it reacts strangely with HoD-Baron. The laser dudes with the stun ray, when they use the stun ray on you, causes you to slow to a crawl and never recover. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with an interaction with nashmove. Pretty sure that's the issue with other movement related interactions, as well. Not too much I can do about it; I refuse to remove nashmove because I do not like Doom's slippery movement for something large and heavy like The Baron.
That would be the Azazel you're talking about; Belial is the flak cannon. It's getting reworked completely, as previously stated. When, I don't know as I'm currently working on something else, but soonish.

The difficulty gap between Baron and Archon is really wide. Baron is a walk in the park; Archon makes it almost impossible to stay alive long enough to reach E2M6.

Ah, I took of that. Yeah, it can be more of a recommended mod for that. But here's the problem with one thing:kadu522 wrote:You way want to add the following mod to the recomended list.

True, the 'Stun' system of the Pulse Marine is quite buggy. That's one bug that, me, as a newbie modder can't really fix. But hey, atleast you enjoyed it much as I enjoy your mod.Brohnesorge wrote:While I have played and rather enjoy CW, I can't recommend it because it reacts strangely with HoD-Baron.

Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 7.31] 26/9/17 Now On Git!
Alrighty just pushed the newest update to the master branch on GIT, go pick her up!
Spoiler: Must be the work of an enemy CHANGELOGI know its not a very big update, but the making code easier to read too a very long time, and was pretty damn exhausting and I've been mostly focusing on HoD-Revenant (Release date: TBD). Damn past me sucked and current me isn't much better. And I've been sick all week, but I'm still plugging away at the Azazel rework, and will be added the other spells Tome of Power modes as we go as I do with this mod. Goal of the next update is a Fireball rework. Not changing it's damage or anything, but I plan on updating its VFX 100% so it actually resembles a fireball as opposed to an energy ball and give it it's Tome of Power: Cluster Explosion. Also a slight M202 update is coming. I have new sprites for it from Lt.blam that I've been sitting on forever but have been too lazy to implement.
Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 7.35] 14/10/17 Now On Git
You started working on HoD-Revenant? That's cool man, if you need any suggestions or tips we're here

Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 7.35] 14/10/17 Now On Git
So, not a full update, but I've pushed part of the next update to the WIP branch of the Git. If you're interested, go grab it. It's a partial update to all the flame VFX. It's been quite a while so I figured I'd (kinda) release what I have done, but not as an official update. It is, as the name WIP branch would suggest, still very work in progress, but I'm losing steam and want to get a feel for how others thing about it. It's also been going super slowly and want to show that yes, I'm still working on it, but its taking 10x longer then I was expecting it to.
Anyway, right now the fireball main fire, alt fire explosion are done, and the Immolation main fire is done. I still need to work on new sprites/effects for the Fireball alt-fire projectile, tweak existing ones, update the charging sprites for Immolation and all Bruiser stuff.
For details, check out the changelog on the Git.

Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 7.35] 14/10/17 Now On Git
I have been playing a bit on the last highest level of difficulty with colourful hell , and only having sucess with Bruiser with non-slaugher maps , so I have been thinking:
How about having more options regardig the difficulty like High Noon drifter? Like , having fast enemies or level of health gained by soul? Is it because the jump from Baron to Archon is so great , that I think something like that would help.
Also , a pet peeve: I think melee on Archon difficulty is so unrealiable! It is almost impossible to attack without taking damage and sometimes they go through the hitstun. Maybe I am doing it wrong or something?

Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 7.35] 14/10/17 Now On Git
Archon difficulty is kind of a shit show in general. I think the melee issue is from Fast Monsters, specifically. One advantage to it being on Git is how easy it is to modify. Try opening MAPINFO in Notepad and deleting FastMonsters from the Archon of Hell difficulty and see if that helps anything. It's a band-aid I know but I'm focused elsewhere for now.
I like the idea of having a lot of options for difficulty, and HND has done a lot to make me want to step up my game (as well as being a little intimidating to me; Balissa is almost everything I wanted the Bruiser to be, but better). I...really don't like working with CVARs, however. I feel they bloat the already super bloated code of HoD-Baron. I can suck it up, though. It may be the solution we've all been looking for.

Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 7.35] 14/10/17 Now On Git
It's been awhile, but I return with great news: The Baron's coming back in a big way! Currently, Lud and I are working our butts off (okay, most of the hard stuff is being handled by him) to convert and rewrite the mod from Decorate to ZScript! In the meantime, we are also addressing some issues and reworking certain features along the way!
Such as new movement! Check out the video description for more details.
Basically, you have momentum like a large creature would, and have a delay to jump from you squatting down before taking off. Trust me, it sounds like it sucks, but it feels great.
So when's this coming? Unknown, but I'm hoping to have it playable again by next Monday. As it stands now, the new movement code needs some tweaks (you're still a little too slidey while walking) and the Claws and Azazel are disabled, but the new movement really makes you feel like a big heavy creature slamming around the level. You'll also be able to trample and push aside smaller monsters, too!
These are the most obvious changes, as most of the others are under the hood, like a rework of the Magic that just makes it easier on me to modify, but functions exactly the same as before to the player.

Is this spamming yet?
More video previews, this time of said HUD and the Azazel rework WIP. I'm super excited to get this out, but don't want to rush it. HUD by LUD. Azazel sprites by Lt.blam.
Super huge Thank You to both of them. Without them, this little big project of mine would be half the mod it is now, nor half the mod its going to be. On top of all the people who have helped in the past.

Re: Hearts of Demons - BARON [Beta 7.35] 14/10/17 Now On Git
Yes, this is great. Any thoughts towards editing the regular Baron sprite to show it wearing old armour or something to further mark it as unique from the rest?

That's something I'll consider for sure. Probably a last, minor detail thing, just because you rarely see yourself, unless you run around in Chasecam.
But here we are ladies and gentlemen. Probably the biggest single update to date. The mod has been successfully converted from Decorate to ZScript. Huge round of applause to Lud, as without him, this wouldn't have been half the update it is. Check out the repo and download the Master branch as soon as you can. I'm extremely proud of everything we've (mostly Lud) have done here. And its only going to get better and better.
-Azazel Rework
With new sprites (huge thank you to Lt.blam for his constant contributions to the visuals of the mod!) and new mechanics, the Azazel is a brand new weapon. It can still use every ammo type, but the effects are different, and ALT FIRE changes your equipped ammo type. New to it is its Magic Shot abilities. Once you have an Enchantment Rune, you can channel your spells through Azazel for alternate effects. Hit Zoom to toggle this. Reload toggles the Auto Lock. This does nothing for Magic Shot; no mechanics are involved, so locking it does nothing. Also features Crosshairs by Lud.
-Movement and Trampling
With Lud, who can, you know, actually CODE joining the team, many things can be updated and made more advanced. Such as the movement physics and TRAMPLING. Trampling is something I've been wanting since day one, and we finally have it. Sprint to pick up speed and run over lighter enemies, usually crushing and gibbing them. But you have less control; its hard for a large creature to go fast and steer at the same time. It feel great. Jumping is also updated; hold down the button to crouch down and jump, instead of jumping instantly. Its immersive as fuck.
-Spells
Alright, you guys probably won't notice too much with this, but Spells have been completely redone under the hood, making it easier to modify current spells and add more. It also allows for the new Enchantment system to exists.
-HUD
JUST LOOK AT IT! Huge thank you to Lud for this.
Lastly, I was convinced to make a Discord for my mods, so if you wish to join for a more direct communication line with the team behind this, Soldier Z and the upcoming Hearts of Demons - REVENANT, feel free to join. Link is here.
Have fun and keep me posted with issues.
