Nightmare Logic V1.7 [04.04.21]

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

This is a really dope mod but tbh even though it doesn't really fit the theme of the mod adding a bigger arsenal would still make it MUCH better

I understand that it might be weird to play it without a BFG or a Chainsaw, but the objective was to make it have only the basics of Doom. If i can get to think on a way of adding more weapons that are not redundant or make other weapons obsolete, probably i will apply it somehow.

Forgot to edit the version and release date.

Hello there!

After some playing, i've done a few QoL changes to this mod, so strap in and have fun! Now arrows stick to their targets (which means i had to get rid of the feature that made it pass through them), removed the camera interpolation in ready states to avoid visual bugs and adjusted some pickups so the game won't be as hard as it was.

Your feedback is really important, so take your time to play this and drop a few words

These are some great changes, thanks! The crossbow is much more fun to use (definitely like the new beep sound and how it sticks to monsters), and I think the assault rifle has a better rate of fire. I also like the more focused shots from the plasma rifle and the improved organization of your code.

A few more suggestions:

---

- Change the pickup sound for weapons, at least to distinguish from other pick-up sounds
- It would be nice for the pistol to have an option for auto-fire
- It would also be nice to have a bouncing sound for the debris that results from grenade explosion
- This may be outside the scope of your mod, but I think it would be terrific if the option for weapon fire tracers were added
- I think the muzzle flash on the assault rifle would look better if it is was more similar to the shotgun's muzzle flash
- Maybe allow the crossbow to fire up to 2 or 3 arrows before needing to reload?
- Ricochet sounds for bullet impacts would be a nice touch
- I'm not sure if you meant for "Other mods Options" to show up in Nightmare Logic Options - right now clicking on those options don't seem to have an effect

Edit: One more suggestion I meant to mention - have the HUD show your health/ammo in yellow font and then red font as it gets further depleted.

Here's a file that will enable Heretic to be played with Nightmare Logic; most of the item pickups have been replaced with NL's and a few text strings have been changed to resemble NL better. I haven't fully played with the mod yet, but I had fun testing this out both with Doom and Heretic.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Hey cubebert, thanks a lot!

I will definitely cook a Raven patch for next update, since it's a usual thing in my mods =)

Minor bug report - Rifle's inventory pick up message mistakenly references slot 6 instead of slot 4.

Also, one more request I'd like to add after further playthrough is the ability to switch weapons during reload. I like how the player realistically slows down during reloading, but it can be difficult in the heat of battle to be stuck until reloading finishes, instead of being able to stop and switch to another weapon.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Thanks for the suggestion, it was added to the game and will be avaiable on ther next update.

In the meantime, let me show you guys check how the new shotgun look is!

[Frozsoul]

That new shotgun looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out!

One more minor bug to report - Plasma Cannon continues playing humming sound after it is dropped.

[Captain J]

Nice and highly detailed gun there! I love those yellow hints and all and i guess does some electric damage or something?

[MentzWolf]

Shouldn't the shotgunners drop shotguns instead of rifles?

(Using the Project Malice monsters btw)

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Indeed, but since the shotgun is a high-tier weapon, er... think that the guys are using it on semi-auto =ppppp

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

I was about to wait 'til 00:00 so i could leave this update to you guys. But i am very tired and need to do stuff.

So here you are! This new update for Nightmare Logic has more content! This mod is now compatible with Hexen, Heretic and Hacx, the shotgun has a new meneacing look, small tweaks in sounds and sprites to make the game look prettier, an auto-fire CVAR, and more QoL changes for your gameplays.

These are terrific updates.

Bug report - Auto loading does not seem to work for the crossbow.

Also a suggestion to use $rolloff on the explosive sounds to they can be heard from a further distance.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Thanks for the suggestions Froz!

I'll be working on a v1.5 soon!
