I'm pleasantly surprised this is Heretic-and-Hexen-compatible! :D

That is something I'd like to get to the bottom of as well; my damage-indicator hijacks the status bar mugshot logic, and it should be using its own unique sprites, but I'll have to look into why that isn't absolute...

Thanks to some recent updates in GZDoom that added extra troublesome startup error spam encouraged me to tidy up my coding habits a bit, as well as some feedback from ICARUSLIVES and a few things I'd declared "missed opportunities," Cola 3 is nearing time for an update. So please let me know if there is any outstanding problem with the mod - I may be tweaking some numbers here and there for purposes of balance, in particular I'm hearing about the shotgun being a bit underpowered, among other things.

I'm also aware that there is a rare game-crash bug that occurs when the player has been killed, but not all the time. I'm having difficulty reproducing it, let alone tracking down any potential cause, so if there's someone out there that can figure this out for me, I will be extremely appreciative of the help.

Once all that's ironed out, I'll be pushing a v1.1 update, and putting the mod on the /idgames archive to be preserved for the foreseeable future.

So far so good. By the way: was the deck meant to be the equivalent of the Nemesis?

Yes, it indeed was, though I saw fit to add an extra little incentive to level it up on purpose.

I assume you mean its altfire.

Yep, probably the alt-fire. I'd only really save that alt-fire for those super-crowded levels; otherwise, I like the level 0 version of the cards best. (Second being the pistol for early-game, as well as those "episodes" of megawads where you die from what I'd like to call the "Scythe Episode End" trick.) I agree with the shotgun being rather difficult to use, though the Sidewinder is actually really good at max level.

On another note, I like the toothpaste laser being quite useful for those slaughtermaps against the particularly deadly enemies. The damage reduction powerup's neat too. My only other gripe would likely be Colorful Hell's monsters usually being difficult, meaning the more dangerous ones (Purple pinkies, for starters) can still quickly down you; but Colorful Hell makes up for that by the porta soda bottles allowing me to heal up more often.

You're gonna have to wait. What I'm primarily waiting on is any more bug reports, or any potential solutions to the damn death crash. I'm not going to push a 1.1 that contains one fix for an error that doesn't even affect the game.

I'm gonna be honest, what you'd get out of that wouldn't be any more than you'd get by playing The Last Eicchof. :D

Funnily enough, i expect this game to be a doom mod that you're a beer bottle and shoot down the XXXX and budweiser stuff.

I have a suggestion; could the armor powerup also halve the barrier loss upon taking damage?

The armor power is already part of the barriers so I don't see the point in adding that to it.
