In addition, you can install the optional Expansion Pack, featuring a few new weapons to play with- and monsters to carry them. New weapons include the Minigun- a fast-firing rifle-caliber rotary machine gun- and the Submachine Gun, a pistol-caliber automatic weapon. The pack additionally comes with three new types of former human- the Submachine Gunner randomly replaces the Shotgunner, the Minigunner randomly replaces the Commando, and a new Plasmagunner has a chance of replacing the Commando as well. This pack will be steadily expanded with new weapons as time goes on.

I cannot get the game to launch PDExpansion.pk3.

Also, it would be nice to know what extra content it provides.

I should clarify; PDExpansion is not a standalone .pk3. It must be loaded after Perfected Doom to work properly.

Quick bugfix for the PD Expansion; the SMG now raises and lower as fast as the other weapons. The Minigun doesn't feature this due to its weight; I will roll back the rapid weapon switching on the Rotary Cannon, Rocket Launcher, and BFG-9000 in addition come next update.

EDIT: One final bugfix for the Expansion Pack. Now everything should work out assuming you loaded it after Perfected Doom.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

That did the trick! Still, it would be nice if you could update the original post with a list of the new weapons and enemies featured in the Expansion Pack.

Pretty cool mod! I think the weapons could use a bit of recoil, but I like the feelings of them. As an optional thing, perhaps you could make it so our weapons shoot the same tracers enemies do? I'm a big fan of tracers, for whatever reason.

[Black Rock Shooter]

Loved the mod's name (and the mod too).

[Retraux Squid]

I will be improving weapon feel for v1.1, including recoil. Additionally I think I'll add cosmetic tracers- perhaps as a toggleable option.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

Loved the mod's name (and the mod too).

That might be my one gripe with the mod so far: how exactly is it "perfecting" Doom?

Anyway, I would suggest you move the Rotary Cannon to the same slot as the Rocket Launcher, since they both fire explosive ammunition, or maybe a new slot altogether?

Also, I think the Plasma Rifle Zombieman should have a different uniform colour than the Minigunner. Maybe cyan, like in Threshold of Pain?

Welp this Mod is Petty good. simple yet very well Done. The only criticism I have is with the Rotary Cannon and the Rocket Launcher. They need better sprites the Old ones feel out of place. Here is a suggestion for new a sprite for the Rotary Cannon.

I feel like I'm still playing unmodded Doom with this, nice job on the mod! The weapons could do with a bit of recoil, but besides that, it's perfect! (Possible pun very much intended.) Still, nice mod! meow.

Now THAT's a nice looking cannon. Can you possibly link the sprites or mod?

I was toying around with changing the name, but I felt that it aptly summed up the aims of the mod: polishing animations, gore, and sound effects, while improving gameplay and adding new content.

The Rotary Cannon doesn't use explosives; it uses 12mm shells, which are dropped by commandoes and randomly spawn as either loose ammo (replacing clips) or boxes (replacing ammo boxes). Thus it's still in Slot 4 (primary automatic weapons).

I know of plasma gunner sprites with an actual plasma rifle on the sprite (not just the generic rifle with a blue muzzle flash) and a blue uniform. I think for 1.1 I'll be replacing the current sprites with those.

Fist animation briefly turns gloved hand into ungloved hand at the end of punch. I'm using gzd 2.3.

EDIT: Other than that, mod is really nice! Keep the good work.

The Rotary Cannon may use an original ammunition type, but it still deals splash damage that hurts the player at close range. To prevent accidental injuries or even death from mistakenly selecting it in the heat of battle, I think the weapon should be either assigned to the same slot as the Rocket Launcher or to a separate slot altogether.

Also, three weapons per slot is a crowd.
