Got some feedback for this mod so it can be improved.

- Extremely Hard, even on "Intermediate" Difficulty setting, take to much damage from monster variants.
- Levels are difficult to navigate due to large size and at times excessive detail.
- Appart from Chaingun and Rocket combo, and Dual BFG's, dual wielding concept not as satisfying as it could have been.

Also 2 questions.

- When is the next version coming out? Will it address these criticisms?
- Where did you get these textures from? Did you make them yourself? Is there a download link for them? I would like to use them in some of my own projects.

There will be a new version coming out, dunno when, but I'm working on it. The difficulty has been toned down a bit, several monsters are absent from the first two difficulties and some areas have new pathways and rooms, and some stuff to take cover from enemy projectiles.

As for the textures, there's like 500 different places I got all of them from, and I can't really remember 'em all. On the top of my head though, here's some I used:
http://www.realm667.com/index.php/en/?o ... Itemid=189
http://www.realm667.com/index.php/en/te ... -pack-vol2
Some from here: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=31139
And this excellent texture: viewtopic.php?p=684828#p684828

Once upon a time, there was a man who was so much of a fan of the super award-winning doom mod "zharkov goes to the store" that he went to training to practice ripping off his arms and regrowing them, and began constructing his own weaponry like a barrel launching sawn-off shotgun and a scorching hot butter cannon.
232 years later, while traveling through space in his spaceship made of bullets, demons start attacking which causes his ship to crash land on earth, completely destroying it. Pissed, he uses his trusty device to turn nearby items into replicas of his stuff, and searches for the one responsible for this shit: The Ubercomputer!

Welcome to Project Uber 1.5!

---

- ADDED: New player class: Hardy! Still WIP, needs testing and more stuff added.

- CHANGED: Captain Akimbo's BFG fire is cheaper in ammo but weaker.
- CHANGED: Captain Akimbo's melee is now a double punch attack, since Hardy has the attack that uses health as ammo now.
- CHANGED: Captain Akimbo's berserk upgrades the punch attack into double chainsaws!
- CHANGED: Berserk expires after some use, captain akimbo's berserk has been buffed.

- CHANGED: The mod is a bit easier, monsters do less damage on the first three difficulties, some monsters are absent from the first two difficulties.
- CHANGED: The final boss has been extended slightly.

-link removed, 1.7 is available now-

[GanGsteRinO999]

What GZ v. can launch it? I try do that on 2.1, but nothing happens, it seems like port just doesn't read the file.

[Captain J]

I guess you should update your GZdoom. v.3.2 Might works.

[Darsycho]

Does it just load up normal doom 2 map01 with nothing changed? If so, try redownloading the mod.

[Darsycho]

Howdydoodle folkadoodles, we have a 1.6 ready for ye!

-ADDED: Hardy is (mostly) complete! New weapons 'n stuff!
-FIXED: Grenades from a paladin had Hardy's barrel graphics.
-FIXED: A secret in map05 was not available on any difficult besides hard.
-CHANGED: Bunch of balance changes, high tier enemies have less health, some enemy
projectiles are slower, hardy takes less damage from his own weapons, more
max ammo for hardy, time freeze on hardy's bomb lasts longer, and a bunch
of other things I forgot.

-CHANGED: On harder difficulties, uber revenants will only spawn a decoy once.
After it spawns the decoy, the uber revenant no longer reacts to pain.

-CHANGED: Several things, such as the final boss and the golden skeletons, are
now unaffected by Hardy's time freeze.

- MISC: Fixed some credits

[Darsycho]

Howdy! It's been almost 10 years since the last post, and in fact, 10 years since the first release of this! So what better to do than make a big ol anniversary update?

I'll be real, this was one of my least favorite mods, its definitely one of my prettiest and had huge steps up to my previous works, but there was a ton of things wrong with it.
It was far different than what I originally planned back in 2013 when it started development, and of course the difficulty was complete nonsense looking back at it. I actually did a lil playthrough of this a few months ago after not playing this for years, and despite not being on a hard difficulty, I rage quitted by level 5. With all this in mind, and the fact there was a lot of bugs, including one that completely halts the game, it was damn time I got around to properly fixing this mod.

So, 1.9! The difficulty has been significantly tweaked, it's still tough but should be much more fair, lots of stupid ideas have been reworked (like secrets that required rocket jumping), some weapons rebalanced, and just overall I wanted to make this more fun. But there's more, because one thing that was also intended but never was done for a reason or two: Hardy being more of his own character! Hardy was meant to be inspired by Zharkov but not exactly him, and at the time I made this class, I had no idea where to get original voices, so I went screw it and used Zharkovs voice and appearance at the time. That is now fixed, he has new voicework done by CardBoardMarty, and new sprites!

So while this is still much different than what I originally intended, its certainly a lot better in my eyes, and its a mod that deserved better. :>

So, happy 10th birthday to Project Uber, enjoy the update! And of course, there's gonna be more lil updates after this!



CHANGELOG:

---

============================================================================
Project Uber 1.9!
============================================================================

- BIG CHANGED: Did a big overhaul on monsters and monster placement, the mod had a giant difficulty spike at level 3 and lots of monsters and such became far more frustrating to fight, so lots of stuff has been changed to be as fun to blast through as the first two levels. Lots of monster placements redone, lots of monsters rebalanced (Some apparently instakilled you and i never even intended that), extra polish here and there, and yeah! This mod is still not easy, but it should be much more fair.
- - The difficulties are also completely redone, more simplified and enemies don't just straight up become terrywad enemies in terms of difficulty on the harder difficulties. Mostly only high tier enemies will get big changes on higher difficulties.
- - Lot of secrets were tweaked too, there's no more secrets that need rocket jumping, for example.
- - Lots of extra bits and bobs here and there to make things less frustating (Such as a charge up sound for the mouth walls that shoot immensely high damaging projectiles, giving you a heads up)


- ADDED: Score milestones are now visible on the hud, telling you when you'll get an extra bomb.

- CHANGED: Only score pickups (not the ones dropped, of course) count as items for the tally.
- CHANGED: Readded some monster types that were removed from older versions, but tweaked to be more fun.

- FIXED (Finally): The end of level script has been rewritten so it will properly work on modern versions of L/G/UZDoom
- FIXED: A lot of weapon sounds from both classes got cut off by other sounds (a_playsound and a_startsound doesnt use chan_weapon by default, it seems)


------ CAPTAIN AKIMBO Changes ------
- FIXED: With his plasma weapon, pressing fire while charging with altfire will reset the altfire charge up, I ended up rewriting the whole gun to fix this, the weapons were done with very outdated methods, but this weapon was really the only one that needed fixing. Others work fine so I'm not gonna bother with em for now.


------ HARDY Changes ------

- ADDED: New voicelines by CardboardMarty! Hardy was meant to be inspired by Zharkov but not exactly him.
At the time I made this class, I had no idea where to get original voices, so I went screw it and used Zharkovs voice and appearance at the time.
- ADDED: And well yeah, new player sprites.

- FIXED: All of his items could be crushed, oops lol.
- FIXED: Butter demons nerfed a bit, and isnt blocked by monster block lines
- FIXED: Nerfed the Double Barrel shotgun
- FIXED: Cannon O Madness while powered up would refuse to switch to another weapon with scroll wheel.
- FIXED: Fixed the weapon orders, like the Cannon and Uber minigun, the two strongest weapons, wouldve come before everything else. This led to a lot of accidental deaths.

- FIXED: Some HUD mistakes, some weapons didn't show ammo icons, etc.
- FIXED: Never did add the energy ammo sprites, whoops.


- CHANGED: Hardy's melee altfire no longer costs health, it now costs a type of ammo that is obtained from dropped score.
- CHANGED: The final weapon, the uber minigun, no longer has autoaim.
- CHANGED: Time freeze no longer mutes the sound, big thanks to Blue Shadow for the code.



KNOWN ISSUE: Sometimes the score tally doesn't work properly, sometimes you cant kill all monsters, sometimes it seems all score isnt possible to get, and I'm not sure whats going on atm, will try to fix for next version

Yes: https://darsycho.itch.io/project-uber
