I Looked up how balancing feature for late-game player works, but I'm not sure if I see it right. Permanent nerf to damage and damage resistance that counters permanent bonus to damage and damage resistance, so final values are close to square one? Or am I missing something? Wouldn't it be simplier to remove these bonuses or reduce them to amount that doesn't affect balance so strongly, say 3-15% instead of 10-50%?
Not really complain, it does balance things out, just curious.

Demon mode keeps crashing my game to console. It has happened so far because

Cancelling out of demon mode via Cacodemon and other monsters.
Killing a spider mastermind and then getting the clear bonus while a revenant.
Attempting to use the secondary with the Pain Elemental.

This is happening consistently with the latest GZDoom devbuilds. Is there a way out of this? Thanks.

The Cancel out and Clear bonus bugs are happening only with the devbuilds. The PE one happens in stable.

So I just summoned and killed a bunch of Arachnotrons (probably around 15) to test a hypothesis, and it appears that in GZDoom 3.2 Devbuild 358 the Demon rune simply doesn't spawn when I'm using just D4T 2.1. When I used the unofficial voxel patch it did spawn, but I got the crash you mentioned above when I tried to cancel out. On the GZDoom 3.1.0 stable release the Demon rune works as expected. My suspicion is that something got changed between versions that changed some bit of code that the Demon rune relies on. Given that it appears to have completely disabled at least one power-up, my gut says it might have messed up other things as well, but I haven't played with it enough to tell you what that might be. Hope this helps with debuging and fixing the problem.

We spoke on discord about this after you had posted this, but Im replying here for people to know the answer: Please dont use devbuilds. This mod does not require devbuilds in any form. The PE issue is confirmed though, we're investigating.

That's odd, but i havent tried devbuilds. I however, can see how in 15 arachnotrons the rune might not spawn. RNG is crazy. Sometimes I kill a lot of monsters and no runes, sometimes a couple monsters only and they both drop the rune. The code uses the most simplistic method to spawn the runes: DropItem property. So there's nothing special about that part of the code.

I have yet to try this version of gzdoom, but does it not appear in the custom keybinds anywhere?

I noticed a bug on the DM BFG's altfire. It will get stuck in an on state when you release altfire while the shot is charging or if it is on when the BFG runs out of ammo. I was able to fix it by copying two lines from the DM Gauss Cannon and putting them in the EndAnimation state after the player's pitch is restored.

Here's the two lines

Code: Select all

		"####" "#" 0 A_StopSound(CHAN_5)
		"####" "#" 0 A_TakeInventory("PowerAdvancedTargetingMode")

Because this happened, you may need to change your menu around. This affected a lot of mods.

The solution is simple though.

Change the name:

Code: Select all

OptionMenu "OptionsMenu" // From this
OptionMenu "D4TOptionsMenu" //To this
And in the ListMenu "MainMenu", change the options menus themselves to reflect the new name:

Code: Select all

PatchItem "M_OPTION","o", "OptionsMenu"
PatchItem "M_OPTION","o", "D4TOptionsMenu"
Also, you cannot override the default Customize Keybinds menu anymore, so you'll have to make a copy of that one as well.

Loving the mod. I have a problem though.

I play keyboard only and most of the weapons are fine with autoaim. However, some weapons (ie/ Static Rifle) don't work correctly. They don't autoaim on the vertical axis.

Is that a deliberate choice? Is there something I can tweak to make all weapons correctly autoaim?

Thanks in hope.

Unfortunately, that's an engine thing. For some reason rail attacks are never affected by autoaim. I heard this is doable in newer versions of gzdoom, but since this mod is backwards compatible to gzd 1.8.6 and zandro 3, i cannot use new features.

Ah, that's a pity. Still, I can make-do.

Thanks for replying. :)

I will look into this asap! We've got a couple things that we definitely could release in a bugfix patch. Thanks for the info!

if you're talking about drpyspy's sprites, the mastermind sprites is already being used by kinsie in metadoom and i don't think the cyberdemon sprites are ready.
but we'll have to hear from dbt himself for confirmation, that's just my guess.

That's correct. The mastermind IMO is sort of quite unique to metadoom, and while i believe Kinsie has given permission to use these sprites, and while Xtor did a "skin pack" for d4t, containing these sprites, i just don't want to "rip" them right after they were featured in their original mod.

Perhaps in the future, and who knows, maybe there will be more d4 inspired sprites around for us to incorporate. But that's loooong ways away since I'm done with the current version of d4t (except for bugfixes) for the foreseeable future.
