You could have done so much more for a poor newbie than just five words. For example, perhaps the how-to page on the ZDoom Wiki might be really useful to link, or perhaps the wiki page for ZDL so OP doesn't have to spend hours trying to figure out what it is.

Hi.
I know how to use zdl.The basics at least.
The problem was that i assumed too much and managed to unzip the pk3 file!And inside i couldt find the pk3 file!Im so used to mods being compressed that i just assumed this was also.
Thanks for respond,anyway.And thatnks for not assuming i was adeapth in zdl.I hate when ppl gives complicated answers in forums,before asking how knowledgeable the poster is!
Its all sorted now and i love Pandemonia!!!Im playing it with Brotherhood of the Ruins maps.And HQPSXMUS for atmospheric sound track.
BRILLIANT!

Cheers.

Things will most likely change, but this is to give a sneak peek as to what I've been working on, and also so you guys can help find bugs and stuff before the main version releases.
Note, do not use GZDoom 3.7.2 for the time being, otherwise some of the monsters' attack pitches will be inverted. I do plan to fix this before I release the next version.

Found a bug where if you already have the hazmat suit equipped and pick up another, it won't extend the duration of the hazmat suit. Playing this with ALT on GZDoom 3.4.1 and picked up suit right before current one expired. So far love all the new monsters added.

Version 1.1 is here! Check the changelog on the original post for more details.

Hey I have played the new version of your mod for roughly 4 hours.
I like weapons of this mod. They are fun to use, look cool, and have distinct traits.
Enemies are fun to fight against because they have many interesting attacks.
Effects of this mod are so beautiful, especially projectiles from enemies and spark effects.

Suggestions:
Can you make stronger variants of enemies drop something nice (like health bonuses) when they die? Because they have much more dangerous and complex attacks compared to original ones, I found the late-game of this mod quite hard. Additional health items from their death will ease the difficulty.

I think the Nailgun has too much DPS for a weapon uses bullet ammo. I know it's somewhat inaccurate and fires slow projectiles unlike the Assault rifle, but I think it's too powerful. I suggest nerfing damage of nails a bit.

The DarkBlaster using Cell ammo is kind of weird for me because it's slot 5 weapon and fires explosive projectiles. I think rocket ammo is more fitting for it.

I would like to turn off Easter egg that replaces Commander Keen from option screen because some mapwads have unique enemies that uses Commander keen. I was amused by the said easter egg though.

Hey I have played the new version of your mod for roughly 4 hours.

Thanks! Some of the stronger bosses can drop some health and armor, like the Terminator dropping a Megasphere and Plamexis dropping a Crimson armor. I'll definitely think about letting stronger variants of non-bosses drop some type of health items.

Nailgun is pretty strong, it's probably one of the most efficient weapons in the game next to the Auto shotgun. One thing that the nailgun can do which sets it apart from the assault rifle is that it can occasionally pierce enemies, but not in the traditional sense by a ripper. I'll most likely decrease the damage a bit.

Dark Blaster will eventually get a different ammo type after I introduce more demonic weapons, but for right now it uses cell ammo so there's not just one weapon that uses a custom ammo type.

I'm not too sure how I'll do the commander keen replacements yet, but I'm thinking of doing something that let's you select between unedited commander keens (for dehacked wads), Pandemonia's easter egg replacements, and some existing spawns for wads like Scythe 2 (to have modified Marines and afrits to fit Pandemonia's style).

[Warrex]

Just found your Mod. I am quite new to randomizers as I had only tried Scalliano's 667 Shuffle and Æons of Death which I did not like.

But this is REALLY fun, artisically nice and I also prefer it to Hard Doom and Complex Doom which I now also took a look at! So thank you for all your work!

PS. I am missing a chain gun.

[DustedPandemonic]

Just found your Mod.

Thanks! I also contributed a bit to some Complex Doom addons as well, which there are some references to in this mod.
There was a minigun in the previous update, but was scrapped and replaced with the nailgun instead, since I want most weapons to be different in some way.

The Clusterfuck 3.1 will be updated soon the date of Clusterfuck's Release Date will be?

I don't know Clusterfuck 3.1 will be released as a Clusterfuck's Release Date.

Any chance for a compatible zandronum release???? I love these guns

I MAY be wrong here but I believe I remember this exact question being asked on one of Dusted's streams and he said no plans for Zandronum cuz of Pandemonia utilizing a lot of GZDoom specific features.
