Flakes Doom v2.6b (Updated 06/03/18) Home fixes

[DoomKrakken]

One simple way you could replace the pistol is to create a new player class inherited from your original player class and put it into a filter folder for hexen. The directory should look like this, for example:

Code: Select all

Filter/Game-Hexen/filename.txt

If you're doing a generic script that checks for whatever game you're playing, then Guncaster has the answer. This is what it does...

---

Code: Select all

// Ever so politely stolen from Necrodoom. This is a great idea.

ACTOR DoomCheck    { Game Doom     SpawnID 255  Radius 1  Height 1 }
ACTOR HereticCheck { Game Heretic  SpawnID 255  Radius 1  Height 1 }
ACTOR HexenCheck   { Game Hexen    SpawnID 255  Radius 1  Height 1 }
ACTOR StrifeCheck  { Game Strife   SpawnID 255  Radius 1  Height 1 }
ACTOR ChexCheck    { Game Chex     SpawnID 255  Radius 1  Height 1 }

ACTOR DoomCounter : Inventory    {Inventory.MaxAmount 1}
ACTOR HereticCounter : Inventory {Inventory.MaxAmount 1}
ACTOR HexenCounter : Inventory   {Inventory.MaxAmount 1}
ACTOR StrifeCounter : Inventory  {Inventory.MaxAmount 1} // I'm not crazy enough to use this, are you?
ACTOR ChexCounter : Inventory    {Inventory.MaxAmount 1} 

---

Code: Select all

function void CheckGame (void) // Void because we check, hand the player an inventory item, then never again.
{
    int testTID = UniqueTID();
    SpawnForced("MapSpot",GetActorX(0),GetActorY(0),GetActorZ(0),testTID,0);
    Thing_SpawnNofog(testTID,255,0,testTID);    
    if(ThingCountName("DoomCheck",0))
    {
        GiveInventory("DoomCounter",1);
    }
    if(ThingCountName("HereticCheck",0))
    {
        GiveInventory("HereticCounter",1);

Will this help?

That's great! The less ACS to me (unless we're talking about game options, and i'm outta ideas for them), the better. The filter option seems great. I just don't know if it works on Zandronum. But consider it done if it works.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Guys, i just came here to update Flakes again, and now we have many many features, and more to come. I'm just outta time for now.

[Mr.Enchanter]

Loving this mod so far, feels sorta like an arcade-y meta doom , love the Quake stuff, and the SSG feels soooooo good.

[Why can't I hold all these gameplay mods.jpeg]

I haven't got to trying this one yet, but its definitely downloaded and something I'm excited to try. While I love the overabundance of things to try, I also feel sad that I only have so little time to try them. Still, I appreciate the new release and the continued improvement this mod gets.

[superdupertrooper]

does ketchupv5 work with this mod? i cant seem to load it up with it

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Ketchup has a small problem and i believe there's a patch for it. Try with V4, and if it doesn't work, you could try either Droplets by SidDoyle or Nashgore by Nash

Lippith's Ketchup works for sure.
