Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.

Re: [Release] Lambda: The OpFor Update

Wish displacer could one cybers tho, since it's meant to basically "teleport" foe in another dimension where it won't bother you anymore. Also, is there planning m2 attack for it?? So far displacer feels very underwhelming, since it's electric arc only ticles enemies, can't "teleport" some of the enemies, the AoE is too slow even compared to original Oposing Force (not sure if in original oposing force the splash was based on multiple 3D models) and you can't even teleport yourself to a room full of healthkits and some backpacks.

The Displacer altfire could teleport you to the Player 1-4 start in coop or to any deathmatch start in multiplayer. Like Heretic's or Hexen's Chaos Device. The question is if it's worth wasting 60 cells for that. The amount could be lowered though as in OpFor it was solely done to prevent you from teleporting again while in Xen since one altfire uses more than 50% of your max cells and Xen was intentionally devoid of them.

oh, i forgot, using the tripmine and kill monsters cheat breaks the mod too, with the same red warning:
tried to read from address zero. in function parameter "self"

Haven't tested the satchels, but the tripmines block lifts & doors like in Half-Life. Could that be extended to apply to the player too? That way you can make stepping stones and don't need a coop partner to boost you via crouch jumping :P

Alright, fixed, thanks for the report.
had a little bit trouble finding the problem since it never crashed to me until i tested with the 32bit version of gzdoom

it's intentionally that using cheats won't give you the op4 weapons, but now i considered adding them to impulse 101.

the MP5's behavior when dropped. It always gives 50 ammo like in OpFor
I'ts unintentional but intentional at the same time, i'm using a randomspawner to spawn the mp5, using randomspawners has the side-effect of not halving the amount of ammo given by a dropped weapon. I thought it'd be better if it gave some more ammo instead just 25 because there are moments in some map/mappacks when ammo really lacks.

Well, in the original game you couldn't teleport gargantuas, gonarchs nor apaches so that's basically what i'm trying to achieve.
Ah, i completelly forgot to mention that you can place a teleport destination when pressing the Reload button, it costs 5 cells.
And agreed, with the AoE being too slow, i've speeded it up. The electric bolt is meant to be weak, with the purpose of triggering the enemies' pain state so they move less and make it easier for the projectile to hit them

Didn't want to make it teleport the player to other parts of the map since most of the maps weren't made with that in mind, the player would get stuck in some rooms without the ability to come back, accidentally triggerering traps or having early access to keys or stuff like that
but yeah, in deathmatch it already teleports you to random deatmatch starts
Speaking of which, it would be nice to add a check to the ScriptedSpawner to search the map and the player's inventory for weapons before spawning ammo. So that if you get the crossbow you won't find sniper ammo if the rifle doesn't exist elsewhere in the map.
i already had that idea but didn't implement it because i don't know how much impact would it have on the game's performance since every placed item will have to check for every actor in the map just to find said weapon, it's kinda complicated to explain

I've had a problem with the options menu for you mod, when I try to enable Opposing Force weapons and/or reloadable weapons, it doesn't working at all, you "might" want to fix those problems.

For the record, I'm using GZDoom 3.7.2 x64, have Prescale Mouse Movement and Smooth Mouse Movement disabled. The latter fixes it but causes input lag, try checking your settings and see if there's any difference.

Thanks for trying to look into it :)

How do I switch to HD models in this mod? I somehow couldn't found the option.
And the shotgun now felt really underpowered: I can't even kill an imp with the shotgun's primary fire, and a pinky with the secondary fire (mostly, on UV). Will you buff it?

Any plans for more weapons & entities from other GoldSrc games & mods? It's basically just Quake, but I'd love to play this with the Deathmatch Classic armament :P

Edit: Noticed that the pitch of snarks does not increase the closer they are to spontaneous combustion. Probably not possbile in GZDoom though.

Downloaded the two files, can't find the Opposing Force weapons, even with the "Give All" and idfa/idkfa commands.
