Vanilla Ice is a mod for G/ZDoom that enhances the vanilla experience with new effects and animations without changing the vanilla gameplay and still looking like something that could have come out in the 90s!
FEATURES:
- Weapons have "jerky" smooth animations and also bullet casings! - Weapons are more responsive and switch faster! - More impactful powerups! Soulsphere flashes the screen blue, radsuit flashes it green, and so on... - Random mirrored deaths for most monsters, and optional alternative deaths too! - New gib deaths for monsters that didn't have them! - You can now gib enemies' corpses with explosives! - Correct blood colors for Cacodemons, Barons and Hell Knights! Lost Souls and Revenants also don't bleed anymore. - More impactful explosions! Explosions shake the screen now and have some cool effects! - Optional SSG and Chainsaw gibbing for all your gibby needs! - Optional gameplay modifiers, like silent fists and recoil for the SSG and the BFG!
DOWNLOAD v0.9 (Tested with ZDoom v2.8.1, should be compatible with the newest GZDoom and Zandronum)
Recommended add-ons: Vanilla Essence by Pixel Eater: Makes the game look closer to the original Doom on MS-DOS! Sprite Shadow by Nash: Gives some nice Duke3D-style shadows to monsters! HQ Doom Music by Shane: Awesome HQ Doom music covers!

Not bad! Not bad at all. It does not change the things drastically and yet the gameplay is way smoother and decent now. I really dig the weapon bob while shooting and whatnot. It's a decent change.
But i'm not sure why Rifle spawns just one casing after firing like, 5 bursts. And the gibs float when they land on the lift and i activate it. Also why my fists move significantly slow? It makes the zombies always attack me despite i'm trying to do a sneak kill.

Thank you! I wanted to keep it compatible with Zandronum/ZDoom because those are my preferred source ports.

Oops. That's because it originally fired only one bullet, but I realized that it was too OP. I guess I forgot to change the animation. Will fix this in the next update!

I couldn't find a way to make the punching animation look good while keeping the vanilla timing. I either had to "cut" frames from the animation or make each frame last a single tic and both looked bad. I'll see if I can change this in the next version.

Really loving this mod and its updates as of late. However, I need to mention the corpse decorations can actually block your movement. It's a particularly nasty issue in E4M6 in The Ultimate Doom, right at that spot with all the rocket ammo where the Cyberdemon shows up near the end. Most of the time, the problem is caused by the compatibility setting that causes actors to be infinitely tall, and that setting includes the corpse decorations for some reason. It's not really game breaking and can actually be avoided entirely if you just keep that particular setting off, but I just wanna give a heads up to those who use the mod and especially to the author. It's the only glaring issue I have with this mod as of now; everything else is superb and is honestly my new go-to for classic Doom at the moment.
