I'm running into an error when I try to launch the mod (great work on it, it's trolly as all hell).

Script error, "DoomLootBox.pk3:zscript.lootbox.txt" line 74:
Unknown identifier 'bSPRITEFLIP'

Execution could not continue.

1 errors while parsing DECORATE scripts

Anyway to fix this?

gzdoom 2.5pre. Should I download a newer version and try it?

Yes, I would recommend upgrading to the latest version of GZDoom and see if the problem persists.

[Forikelm]

That works. Thank you!

Even Spawn Wave had to mention this gem. But that gives me a different thought... How would people go about *fixing* Loot Boxes? Would you give your blessing on a contest focused around modding this mod into something that's actually fun to play?

[SoundOfDarkness]

Is this another mod that has some evil zscript sorcery? Because it's not really working with Zandro.

Yep, this mod is heavily reliant on ZScript. You'll need to use the latest version of GZDoom.

ROTFLMAO!!! Awesome pisstake

[Rip and Tear]

I've released an update for this mod that improves a few things

Updated download link included in the first post.

Improved support for weapon mods
This mod should now properly support mods that replace Doom's weapons. Modified weapons will be replaced with loot boxes, and can drop from loot boxes. However, it is still not compatible with mods that modify enemies. Modified enemies will not drop keys.

Heretic support
You can now use this mod to ruin Heretic, too. More thematic sprites included.

If having mod monsters drop crate keys is a desired feature, may I make a(n untested) suggestion (based on your dropchance tiering) (to throw out all of those clunky direct replacements)?

Code: Select all

class KeyDropHandler : EventHandler {

    override void WorldThingDied(WorldEvent e)
    {
        /* Key:
        Low tier monsters are of 200 health and below.
        Mid tier monsters are above 200 health.
        High tier monsters are of 700 health and above.
        Boss tier monsters are of 2000 health and above.
        Any monster with the GHOST flag is bumped to the next tier.
        High and boss tier monsters are never eligible for GHOST bumping.
        (thanks Heretic)*/
        
        let victim = e.Thing;
        int healthtier = victim.GetSpawnHealth();
        int tier;
        int dropchance[4] = { 4, 13, 26, 85 };
        
        if(healthtier >= 2000)
        { tier = 3; } //Boss tier
        else if(healthtier >= 700)
        { tier = 2; } //High tier
        else if(healthtier > 200)
        { tier = 1; } //Mid tier
        else
        { tier = 0; } //Low tier
        
        if(!(tier >= 2) && victim.bGHOST) { tier++; }
        
        victim.A_DropItem("CrateKey", 1, dropchance[tier]);
    }
}

yes I know this means D'Sparil can drop keys but eh, it's a minor amusement

That's not a bad idea, but that doesn't solve the issue of Shotgun guys and Heavy weapon dudes dropping weapons.

I gotchu fam. This code is actually tested and was brainstormed over a couple hours for use with possibly any weapon mod out there (creds to PhantomBeta for assisting with puzzling out some GetReplacee bullshit). This code also goes into a WorldThingSpawned event, like the one currently in your mod:

Code: Select all

        if(e.thing && e.thing.bDROPPED) {
            Class<Actor> replacee;
            if(e.thing.GetClass() != Actor.GetReplacee(e.thing.GetClass())) {
                replacee = Actor.GetReplacee(e.thing.GetClass());
                while(replacee != Actor.GetReplacee(replacee)) {
                    replacee = Actor.GetReplacee(replacee);
                }
            }
            if(e.thing.CheckClass("Shotgun") || replacee == "Shotgun") {
                e.thing.A_DropItem("Shell");
                e.thing.Destroy();
            }
            else if(e.thing.CheckClass("Chaingun") || replacee == "Chaingun") {
                e.thing.A_DropItem("Clip");
                e.thing.Destroy();
            }
        }

Could add more cases for more vanilla weapons if desired (to account for monsters that drop chainsaws or RLs), but that's just a simple matter of adding to the if-else chain

I would request a change on how this mod modifies the hud. It's kinda annoying that this mod overrides the custom huds of certain gameplay mods.
