ZDoom

Well, I understand that you removed the elemental punch attacks from the mod because people didn't really use them; but I think it might be worth seeing if we can't build a Gallade class around them. Basically, Gardevoir would have a relatively weak kick attack, while Gallade would have the full array of powerful punch attacks with different effects. Additionally, Gallade would have more powerful effects from the Torture Blade and the Shotgun melee.

As far as Mega Evolution, make it where you lose the guns and Torture Blades entirely, as per Mega Evolution in the Pokemon games removing the ability to hold items; however, in exchange, you gain some truly destructive powers. Mega Gardevoir having a massive Hyper Beam attack, while Mega Gallade could have a brutal Night Slash that cuts through multiple targets. Additionally, all other attack powers would gain significantly in power.

Double-posting again, but I just noticed something in the settings menus, specifically "Player Setup", and it made me recall something else. See, you apparently don't have a player sprite made for this mod.

Now, I don't know how helpful this will be, but I remembered the Pokemon-themed fan-made 2d fighting game Pokemon: Type Wild, and it turns out there's a .GIF on Know Your Meme of all of Gardevoir's animations from that game:

Again, I don't know if this will be any use to you, but I hope it's a start. Maybe you can try poking around Pokemon-specific communities and figure something out.

Added:
- Black hole attack. Occupies Slot 8 and serves as the obligatory "BFG Replacement"

Changed:
- Pistol re-balanced to better fill in the hole the lack of a chaingun causes. Alt fire should fire much more rapidly regardless of anger level, however the accuracy of the gun degrades with sustained fire.
- Shotgun's alt-fire buffed. From 10 pellets per gun to 15 pellets, and a slight speed increase.

I do have a ton more to add to this mod, but updates may get more infrequent from here on as there's a ton of QOL and extra polish I want to add. Thank you to everyone for checking this mod out! Super happy a lot of you are enjoying it!

I would be very interested in player sprites for this, especially with maps that use mirrors.

Sadly, I'm not a artist so I can't really try to help in that field...

Heyo, it's me again, commenting on the BLACK HOLE attack.

First off, thankyou for making it not move or eat keys.
In the big massive mapsets I like playing, it's hard enough just finding the key where it is supposed to be.
It'd be a nightmare if the keys went missing.

I feel it maybe shouldn't move the big trees though.
Eat the tree if the black hole passes through it?
SURE, that's a great nuisance remover, but it's a bit, off, seeing all the trees suddenly go flying.

(might be a pain in the ass to code though,
and it's probably just a factor of no-one gave any of the trees a MASS stat,
since it clearly has a harder time pulling things with high mass)

While I'm here the Rocket Barrage alt-fire is wonderfull, is that new since the September build?
(I havent read all the changenotes yet.)

But maybe it could not fire untill I let go of the fire button?
(bit more strategic that way, load it up before the obvious-archvile/50-angry-revenant closet opens)

Spoiler:

---

Code: Select all

Added:
 - Player Sprites!
 - Name your guns like you would your Pokemon!
 - Hold a direction and tap your run key to dash.
 - Hold jump to propell yourself into the air.
 - Continuing to hold jump will allow you to hover in the air.
  --> Holding run during this will allow you to fly around. Consumes anger.
  --> Anger bonus is tripled while holding self in air.
 - Context sensitive kinesis (Rebindable).
  --> Activates useable lines.
  --> Throws explosive barrels at enemies. Detonates otherwise.
  --> Pulls items in towards you.
  --> Shatter frozen enemies
 - Replaced torture blade with Psycho Cutter. Behaves more as a traditional chainsaw.
  --> Can acquire up to 4 chainsaws, consistent with every other weapon.
  --> Each chainsaw increases the attack rate and amount of damage applied
  --> Range of attack increases with anger.
  --> Alt fire throws chainsaws at enemies and shreds them for a duration of time depending on anger level.

Fixed/Changed:
 - Newer and better hudfont, No more "Fumi ng". Cleaned up some names as well.
 - Rocket Launcher firing speed buff. Increases in firing rate when angrier.
 - Rocket impact damage buff. Faster = greater impact damage.
 - Rocket Launcher alt fire now waits for player to release rockets before firing.
 - Tons of Black Hole polishing and fixes.
 - Improved selection order of weapons
 - Rebalanced secret bonus algorithm to better reflect player progression.
  --> Each map has a 10 percent chance of dropping a bonus weapon.
  --> Exception: Maps with 2 or fewer secrets or the first map of any campaign (level.levelNum returns a value of 1 or less).
  --> Bonus weapons only have a chance to drop if the player has found their respective guns. This means in Knee Deep In The Dead, finding an extra plasma rifle is impossible.
 - Plasma rifle alt changed (hopefully for the last time). Fires a BFG Blast now.
  --> Ammo consumed and charge time is reduced per extra plasma found.
 - Removed revives.
 - Rebalanced anger drain. Higher anger = faster drain. This can be slowed down with berserk packs.
 - Buffed primary fire for pistol, better accuracy at lower anger levels.
 - Nerffed alt fire, max innacuracy increased.
 - Fixed dehacked weapons not getting replaced with their respective ammo types.
 - Disabled actor track system. This was used for status effects, and are also currently deprecated.
 - Give All cheat now also grants full anger

>altfire throws chainsaws at enemies

Amazing.

I literally do not feel the need to mention anything else.

Thank you for the update!

I love the trailer, I felt satisfaction how it was paced and presented.

Definitely gonna play this lots when I get some time!

I saw the trailer... I played... I never thought I'd want this. But I wanna see what else this mod will have down the line.

Thanks everyone for the warm reception, glad this update is knocking it out of the park for you guys!

Minor update, won't bother with the changelog aside from adding a Read This menu: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a5agv1zluibtl ... 1.pk3?dl=0

I'm having a lot of fun with this mod. Already tried it on a few mapsets. I recently decided to play Super MAYhem 17 with this mod and I noticed that on the first level, the red key was missing. I played two other levels and all keys appear except for the red. I tried it with some other gameplay mods and the red key appeared.
Also, maybe you could add some options like shotgun guy dropping four shells instead of twenty since it does take away a bit of the challenge.
Thanks.

It looks like my code to handle DEHACKED is interfering with that map set, and red keys are DEHACKED items in that wad. I'll investigate a fix for this.

Glad to hear you're having fun with this!

Huh?

EDIT: You’re going to have to clarify better on what you’re asking here. My best guess is you’re hoping this will get support for older source ports, which isn’t going to happen as I don’t want to invest in that sort of work.
