While I don't think the toggle option actually hurts anything gameplay-wise, unless of course you toggle the spells back on, I must admit that your initial decision to not include them at all was probably the right one. Having played much more of unmodified Guncaster 3.1 now I can safely say that the power fantasy playstyle is not exactly my cup of tea either. I can definitely understand the joy someone could get from it, and the catharsis, but it does indeed make the more serious gamer in me cringe a bit. Adding DoomKrakken's monster randomizer helps a bit, but just a bit. To be perfectly honest I have found Guncaster Vindicated to be the most enjoyable, and rewarding, Guncaster experience I have personally had. Thank you for your work!
That's great! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying this. I hope you'll enjoy what's to come, I have a special surprise in store for you folks and it should be ready very soon. Stay tuned ;)

It sorta looks like a comic I read where a necromancer puts a similiar thing in the code without the //'s and is able to control those who use the programs embedded with such code.
We aren't really a necromancer, we are the neuromancer, and we aren't in control of those who use this program, we are in control of all who see the symbol. Welcome to the swarm! Soon all the bases will be loaded and the wack-a-doodle will fall into place, then we can finally hack the Gibson! bwahahahaha!

Found one bug, can't get past map09 in gd.wad. It's a very short map, but the triggers in the map don't seem to work.
Pillowblaster's shopkeeper is pretty awesome, be sure you show him some love in the Official Guncaster thread!

If you can, please provide a video recording of the bug in question and a description of how the map is supposed to work. If you can do this I might be able to provide a solution. No promises though.

After playing Guncaster for a good ole lot of hours (thank you Day Off for the time to do so) I can clearly see how amazing this mod variation is.

But then the blood was gone... and I was sad.
But then I picked up the Augur... and I was happy.
And then I got the Ole Dreadful... and I was happier than those smiley fish crackers.

PS: ARMATA STRIGOI ftw.
Glad you're enjoying it so far, I hope you'll stick around for more content to come in the near future!

The gore is now fixed! oh... and by the way UPDATE!!!

List of most of the changes:

I hope you folks are all still enjoying this mod as much as I am. If you have gameplay videos, feel free to post them here! Share with us your adventures!

A quick playthrough of it with 3.5.0 gave me the following results.
-The Gore is back, yay!!........ Only on a few unit types and only if their death is... boomy. But hey! It's back!
-I played Doom 1 Episode 1 and found myself unable to change to any other weapon or spell in map 2 after some time. I was stuck with the Longhorn.
-I found myself unable to turn on my DergVision even though I had it on infinite.
-I feel like I'm taking too much damage from the grunts. Like, two far away volleys of shotguns and I lost 30 hp.
-The mod still feels very amazing!!

And that's about it.

I'm unable to find any unit type that doesn't produce brutal gore.

Here is a video of pretty much every enemy:
Spoiler:
The only ones that do not produce gore are the lost soul and its variant, which are not supposed to produce gore since they are just flying skull heads.
If you can specify which enemies are not producing proper gore and provide video of them that would be very helpful.

Yea, this is an issue, I'll try to find a good way to fix this if I can. It happens very rarely and isn't specific to any particular map, it's something to do with the Zooming of the weapon, and that effect failing to normalize and let you switch weapons. I'll fix it in the next update.

EDIT: Are you using Gunslinger mode or Gunzerk? If you are, I know exactly what's causing it.
WolfMann wrote:-I found myself unable to turn on my DergVision even though I had it on infinite.
Open the console (default key for this is ` ) and type

Code: Select all

use visiontoggler
then press enter. If this works, you probably just need to keybind Dergovision.

If it's still not working, try deleting your .ini file and start the game again. If it still doesn't work, let me know.

If you're playing on the highest difficulty, you are going to be punished for being hit by anything at all.

If you have Guncaster.pk3 and Guncaster_Vindicated.pk3 in the same folder be sure you readjust the "Damage Taken" and "Damage Given" sliders in the "Here be Dragons" "Gameplay Options" menu. If you have played Guncaster Official and changed it to make you take more damage in order to make the official version more challenging, that setting will be kept in Guncaster_Vindicated if they are sharing the same .ini configuration file (aka, if both are in the same folder with GZDoom). Make sure those damage sliders are set to 1.0 in order to get the ideal game experience.

If that fails, delete your .ini file (it sounds like it may be jacked up anyway) and try again.

Thanks a bunch!

They are glass cannons. Never stand still in 1 place unless you are behind cover, or fight them in the open without a suit on or they will Swiss cheese you in seconds. And if you are fighting a large horde with those guys mixed in, kill them first before anything else if possible.

You can make suggestions or requests if you like. Just do yourself a favor and be sure to check the FAQ and previous posts first, you may be requesting/suggesting something I have already addressed or that has already been suggested or may already be implemented.

ok. Is there maybe a way you could implement a way to pickup enemies and use them as shields? or maybe as a weapon to throw at other enemies? sort of like how bdv21 did it.

Is there any way to un-invert mouse movement when in the shop? I suspect a lot of players who use invert mouse might not also want it to be inverted when shopping.. :?:

I toyed with this idea a little bit, but decided it really doesn't fit the character.
Torturing your enemies and using them as meatshields just doesn't feel like a "Guncaster" sort of game mechanic. Not to mention all the spritework this would entail as well as some additional scripting gymnastics plus a lot of work trying to balance such a thing.

I'll have to pass on this one, if you feel the need to throw things at your enemies there's always the barrels, those have special animations in this version of Guncaster.

I thought Chillgrasp was the way to use enemies as meat shields!

That's a good point, I hadn't thought about chillgrasp, looks like something that sort of does this is already in the game!

It's disabled by default in Vindicated because it's honestly pretty unfair to be able to stunlock cyberdemons like that. You can still cheat to unlock it in the store, or you can enjoy your meatshielding + enemy tossing fantasies in the Official Guncaster!

(Check the FAQ section of the OP for the cheat code if you want it.)

I can't turn off the strat of the Strucker shotgun for unknown reason.
I used Gunzerker item before this, but I haven't encountered this bug until now despite I use Gunzerker item regularly.
I'm using GZDOOM 3.5.1, and GV 1.4.

Just updated to 1.5

I haven't encountered this bug ever before, I will do some extensive testing on this and try to reproduce it, however, without a solid repeatable way to re-produce the bug It is unlikely that I will be able to fix it in a timely manner if this is not a fluke.

Came back to watch the video, loved it!

This definitely gives me some ideas about how to employ the draughsuit. Our playstyles are pretty different.
Dunno if I should wait for "something big" or not though :P
Monster Hunter has kind of consumed my time for the past few weeks...
