oh yeah, if we're throwing votes in for this, either Eternal Doom or Equinox for me would be cool to see; Eternal Doom could have a weird set of cybernetic and magic weapons, while Equinox having sleek state-of-the-art weapons, some of them of alien design.

As long as something cool can be made of its existing partial weapon replacement (especially the double-chainguns!), I'm all for it.

That titlepic is giving me the hot sweats. I also really love the Quake-style square particle effects on the explosions.

I wonder what weapons Icarus would get?

80's Cyberpunk weaponry with unnecessarily awesome red-and-blue lights? Just my thought!

I think the pistol would be replaced by a laser blaster.

Icarus would probably work with a bunch of sci-fi laser weapons and that sort of thing.

Mmm, I'll increase the damage and reduce the recoil on it. The Doom 2 Plasma Rifle does 5-40, the Plutonia HMG does 20-30, I figured that would make it more consistent but still fairly inline with the palsma raffle, but I guess the accuracy drops that a lot.
Viscra Maelstrom wrote:the Power Saw is very finicky to use, since you slide all over a target when coming in contact with it, which often leads to you getting trapped by a wall of pinkies. a bit less slippy-sliding around would be appreciated.
I'll remove the chainsaw-style movement on hit stuff completely, so it'll be similar to a bullet weapon.
Viscra Maelstrom wrote:the missile launcher seems a bit weaker compared to the vanilla RL? maybe it's to compensate for the faster projectile speed?
The TNT launcher does 30-90 impact damage, while the Doom 2 launcher does 100. The vanilla RL does 20-160 impact damage.

Completely intentional to the point that I had to make stupid hax just to get that to work. Why the hell would you want a radsuit when you are already protected like a radsuit?

Then turn on Simple Maser mode you steam-powered gorilla
I will eeeennndddd yoooooouuuu


When it comes to doing more stuff, we'll probably put up a poll of a whole bunch of megawads, and the three with the most votes will be the next ones we make. Probably won't be anytime soon though, because we got a ton of crap we still gotta do on other stuff.

Some ideas for other megawads' arsenals:
  • Epic 1/2 - a mix between Egyptian-themed and sci-fi weaponry like in Powerslave and Serious Sam.
  • Hellbound - urban-styled weaponry with hellish design influences (like in Saints Row: Gat out of Hell).
  • Whitemare 1/2 - polar-themed weaponry like in Winter's Fury.
  • Memento Mori 1/2 - old-school style with a black-red color theme.
The list goes on but at least the possibilities are endless.

I had a crack at this, and it's pretty good for being a simple MOD. The only thing I saw that could use some tweaking that hasn't been addressed is the pump shotgun on Plutoniaguy and Doomguy. Plutoniaguy's shotgun has a scope on it, so I kinda expected this to be a hunting shotgun, maybe tighten the spread more for use of long range? Doomguy's shotgun could use a small ROF increase to compete with the other 2. Other than that, those changes plus the ones you have planned would make the weapons pretty much perfect for both Doom 1 and Doom 2.

I'll throw another suggestion for a megawad out there...

Back To Saturn X. :D

Another close second could be Hellbound. What if it had an Unmaker there?

okay, so it seems i was wrong with the casings thing slightly. if one of the new sprites stand on just the edge of some geometry, like one of the steps of a staircase, whatever terrain below it goes bonkers and will constantly make sounds, and in the case of liquid terrain, splashes. so it's not a case of empty casings going splishy-splashy all the time, but the new pickup sprites doing it.

I like the feeling of the weapons. Too bad there were so few of them. :D Nice mod.

oh yeah, the invulnerability sphere doesn't make any sounds when being picked up.
