Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.
Also, today, I begin working on the new game mode. I'll rip out some of the new effects from D4T and implement upgrades dropping from monsters.
However, unlike all the other options, this one will require starting a new game in order to take effect.
Credits will turn into Crates Available and will be uncommonly granted by enemies.
Crate upgrades will be known as Crate Quality upgrades.
Credit upgrades will change to Crate Drop Chance upgrades.
Upgrade menu is not available for this game mode. Even if someone bypasses it, it's useless to try and purchase anything with it.
Enemies will very rarely drop upgrades.
Picking up weapons you already own may or may not supply an upgrade.
When fully upgraded, upgrades turn into caches which supply health, armor and ammo. May wind up biasing entirely towards one of the three, two of the three, or balancing out between them all.
Spider masterminds now have a different drop rate for their runes. This does not affect any other monster.
The base chance for dropping a rune is now 100% in common, 50% in rare.
The base chance is divided by the number of other spider masterminds found on the map upon death.
I did this because the spider mastermind is the rarest enemy of all, and as such, it should be rewarding for killing them. You can expect the spider mastermind will become a bit tougher though: Soon, it'll be able to intercept the player's movement much like Doom 16.
So random question, what is Bleeding Edge? I'm assuming its the new game mode you were talking about, or maps considering there was a set in the link. (If its the gamemode, then that was faster than I thought it would take O_o) Speaking of which, I was gonna try the pk3 out of curiosity but not sure what to download
No. Bleeding edge means what you see in the github is what you'll be downloading. Bugs and all. If you don't want to deal with them, stick with the d4d.pk3 I posted up.
Okay, wanted to make sure. I guess it doesn't really sound like the name of a gamemode or mapset so I don't really know why I figured that. Thanks for clearing that up.
Bleeding edge is often used to describe super super early releases that most likely than not may contain issues, yet grants some very neat features immediately. Prepare to report things if something crashes though or doesn't work -- like the fucking ledge grabbing.
So would you recommend (as far as trying to help the mod) using that version? Obviously if I just want to have fun, I'd use the original one on the first post.
If you want to help and hunt bugs, use the bleeding edge and report things on the github issue tracker. That or the D4D.pk3 (which isn't 2.0.3 mind you).
If you want to keep with absolute saneness, 2.0.3 is the way to go.
Who needs sanity? Will try BE version then, probably doing full playthroughs of each official WAD and coming back afterwards if I find anything. (otherwise I may be editing my posts forever)
Any things to try while I'm doing that? (example: getting all mods/upgrades, certain options, etc?) I assume most bugs are found just by playing but just in case
I hate to complain but the HUD is all fucked on my end. I'm using the latest GZDoom git build and I tried changing it to several resolutions and restarting to no avail.
Spoiler:
This is the usual resoultion I play on and it used to work fine until I upgraded GZDoom: The crosshair is misaligned and the ammo count is too far to the right.

That image is waaaaay to large man. Please put it in a spoiler.
As for misaligned huds and all, post the specs of your machine. I don't have that issue myself, you seem to be one of a kind with this problem. Try with other mods besides D4D.

Options -> HUD -> Stretch status bar / Stretch fullscreen HUD
Easy! ))
