My very first Doom gameplay mod and it's QoL (Quality of Life) type of mod, good examples of which are Smooth Doom and Beautiful Doom.

:?: What this mod does?
:!: Gives vanilla Doom a fresh coat of paint, while maintaining vanilla gameplay.

Beautiful brightmaps and animations. Not Beautiful Doom, but somewhat "modernized" Doom without the ridiculous gore and reloads.

Your work is fine, your mod blends perfectly with the Dark Atmospheric music (Doom 64 or PSX Soundtrack) to an obscure atmosphere :D

Revenant missiles seem to be invisible in this, meaning you have to keep an eye out for the dynamic lights they still produce.

I tried the link in the OP again, even though it was "you clicked this" brown, and got the same result.

I played for a couple of minutes and I already love it. This is exactly the mod I have been wanting for a while, something to build upon the themes of vanilla doom but still be vanilla doom in game play.

If I had to leverage some criticisms, it would be that some of the weapons lack responsiveness. Like the shotgun for example: I cannot fire it by repeated clicks, and I have to hold it for it to work properly. This occurs for the pistol, and the rocket launcher, and I have a feeling it occurs for other weapons that I have yet to test out, with excepts being the chaingun, and PROBABLY (as I have not tested it) the plasma gun. Other than that, this mod is good.

Fix these issues, and your mod is solid.

What I mean is that there seems to be a large delay between when the firing animation finishes and when I can actually fire again. This also means that overall, firing by single clicks is slower than firing by holding it down.

Upon further testing, I have found two things.

1. The problem I mentioned before does not exist in vanilla doom.
2. The problem is that there is something weird with the timing of the weapons, the weapon doesn't seem to begin checking for another click until a little after normal walk cycle has recommenced. In vanilla doom for comparison, the weapon could be fired as soon as the walk cycle recommenced.

Of course holding down the fire button produces the normal firing rate. Attempting to fire using timed clicks does not.
For example, in vanilla doom, the pistol can be spam-clicked, and still produce its maximum fire rate. But in EVP, spam-clicking does not allow the pistol to fire at it's fastest. Instead the shots end up being fired at random intervals and is over all slower to fire then if the mouse is held down. This IS spam clicking, but keep in mind that this occurs with timed shots as well.

I hope this helps in finding and fixing the issue which I solemnly swear exists.

So you just want more weapon responsiveness or something?
