Shades of Doom v4.0 - Flippin' Cool (06-01-21)

[Whoah]

Woo!! Been waiting for this for a while now! Really enjoying the new variants and shit. Admittedly a little sad about the themes option being cut, but I get why you did it. Great job, man!

"Dessert Warrior" -- Shouldn't it rather be Desert Warrior?

"Diabolist" is still listed as "Diabloist" in the Arch-Viles submenu.

Some monsters are credited to Eriance, others to Amuscaria. They're both the same person so it'd be more consistent to use the same name.


Idea for extra monster variants: the reskins from Hell to Pay. The imps, at least; the others are weird robots that may not look too good.

Tested with all weapons in Aracnocide weapons patch to see if new sprites would clash. Surprisingly, none did. Now i am having my fun. Thanks for this, man!

That's... actually hilarious. Fixed.

Both fixed, and download links in the OP have been updated.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

It took a lot longer than I thought it would. Apparently adding 60 new monsters take a lot longer than 12... Glad you're enjoying Shades! Thanks for the kind words!

I renamed all monster related sprites in a way I think will prevent most sprite related conflicts. I haven't run in to any after the change, so to my knowledge it worked pretty well. Thanks for the kind words!
Also, I've added Aracnocide Weapons Pack to the list of compatible gameplay mods in the OP.

Thank you! I just wanted to do so because latest versions had only one conflict: the WAFFA0-WAFFC0 (or something like that, i can't recall) sprites from Blake's SSG

The jungle imp becomes immortal and intangible upon death. It doesn't seem to happen to summoned instances, though

I can't recreate that on my end. Are you running any other mods with Shades?

Yes, it seems that SBrightMaps.pk3 is causing a conflict somehow.

Even when running SBrightMaps.pk3 along with ShadesV2.pk3 I can't recreate this. :/ Strange.

Hey,
I've tried the mod and it's just fantastic even without custom weapon mods (but I'll try this mod with DoomRLA in co-op soon or later )

I've a question about time imp.
The Realm667 version can ressurect itself, but in this version it just dies.

Am I missing something? Or the ressurection part was omitted?

I've tried both version (Realm and yours) and the realm version can ressurect itself even in gzdoom 4.0.

Every monster variant behaves almost exactly like the original monster to avoid major balancing issues.
