Complex DooM (updated 17/01/19)

try putting the "enemies always drop" option on in the mod options, also some weapon upgrades come pretty rare, try a wad with more enemies if it seems like theyre too sparse

So glad to see an update for this finally crop up. Nice to see it's still getting some love. Is it more compatible with GZDoom (a couple of scripts wouldn't load with GZDoom but it was nothing overly breaking) or would be better to stick with Zandronum?

Thankls for the suggestion, but I've found at least a dozen upgrades so far, but they were all pistol autofire upgrades! Today, I found one for the assault shotgun which I didn't even had yet, but I spawned one and now I only get assault shotgun upgrades. Pretty weird!

Upgrades and items only drop from certain monsters; they're not a random chance globally. Since you've been discussing it and I haven't seen the info anywhere myself, I've compiled a handy list of what drops what.

[Alptraum]

Oh boi, it has been a year since last update. Hopefully we can see something soon ^^

[DoomSoul]

Can you enable the reload key and move the railgun zoom to the secondary fire?

[lamp]

Heya, may I make a mod using your monsters? they seem really cool.

[Alptraum]

is this mod got abandoned? :<

[Daedalus]

Nope, on hiatus for now.

Hey Daedalus,

I'm making a mod for a game called Ravenfield and would like to use the SFX for the double barrel shotgun from your mod. Would that be alright by you?

[Daedalus]

Feel free, sprites and sounds are free to use.

[Hexa]

Hey Daedalus, do you have any details on where some of these gun firing sound effects come from? There are several sounds in Complex that became extremely loud with Zandronum 3.0, such as the Combat Shotgun, Double Barrel Shotgun and Assault Rifle firing sounds, among many others. I've managed to find the Grenade Launcher firing sound from Quake 4 and fixed it, as well as the Ultra Sphere and Armageddon Sphere pickup sounds from Painkiller. This method is better than editing the volume of the sound used in Complex already, or using SNDINFO to lower the volume because it appears to have the opposite effect in other source ports such as GZDoom, which make the sounds too quiet. I've been through your credits for sounds previously and found most of the item pickup sounds, but still cannot find most of the weapon firing sounds that have said volume issues. Good luck on the next update!

P.S. I sent you a message back in February and I don't know if you've seen it due to the weird layout of the messaging system
