Shades of Doom v4.1 (07-09-23)

Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.
Forum rules
The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

Please read the full rules for more details.

Might be a minor bug but I just tried this with ancient aliens and some of the monster's pallets get messed up. Might want to convert everything into png.

you can make lost soul variants separate from pain elementals if they spawn by themselves(good for doom 1) also deep one shoots faster other baron variants

I don't want 2 different Lost Souls on Doom 2 maps.
I'll change the attack speed of the Deep One. Thanks. :)

Ever thought about adding Hell's Battery as an addition to the Cyberdemons?

I've looked through tons of monster sprites, and Hell's Battery has come up. I think the style of the sprites clashes with the overall style of the other sprites in this mod, which is why I haven't added that particular enemy (and a bunch of other enemies). This is also the reason I removed the Doom 64 Demon from the mod.

Thanks for the suggestion, though! :)

I know. It has been mentionen in a previous comment. It has to do with the way both mods spawn monsters. I don't know if I'm going to be able to fix it.

Since I haven't updated the mod in a while, I'll give a quick heads up:

I'm currently working on some more compatibility patches for some weapon/gameplay mods. For the next release I want to include patches for:
  • Guncaster
  • Ironclad
  • Metroid: Dreadnaught
  • Psychic
  • QC:DE (actually already done)
  • Samsara
I'm not 100% sure it's possible for all of these mods, but I'll give it a try. Does anyone know of some popular mods I've missed? Feel free to post here or send a PM.

Doom Star would be a good mod to be compatible with

Hello! Could you explain how to launch this mod along with "custom gun" mod?
I use gzdoom 325 and custom gun 0.999
I try this order:

Code: Select all

<custom gun pk3>
SoD.pk3
SoD_Keen.pk3
SoD_SS.pk3
SoD_Gore.pk3
SoDStlth.pk3
sod_cstm.pk3
It doesn't work. :(
Some errors pop up:

Code: Select all

Script error, "sod_cstm.pk3:patchimps.txt" line 1232:
Parent type 'CGunCyanTimeImp' not found in CGunCyanTimeImpAmbush
Script error, "sod_cstm.pk3:patchimps.txt" line 1518:
Parent type 'CGunCyanTimeImp' not found in CGunCyanStealthTimeImp
Thx in advance!

I'll take a look at it, and see if I can make a patch for it. Thanks! :)

I also got another suggestion: An option to disable the "ambush" tag for levels that have those teleport closets outside the map where the monsters teleport into the main map. (As seen in Doom 2's Map16, among many other maps.)

Also, last I checked it still works fine with ww-cola3.

As far as I know, teleporter closets work just fine with this mod. Are you having issues with monsters not "waking up" when they should?
