[3DGE] Doom Forever (happy new year!)

[StroggVorbis]

If the issues with the current version(s) of 3DGE get sorted out, I'll update the mod for sure.

Thanks for the support, guys.

EDIT:

Also, zombieman rifles give 10 bullets instead of the original 5 for dropped clips. Just asking if this is intentional. You may have already noticed that dropped items not giving half the amount is a personal pet peeve of mine

The rifle has a clip capacity of 20, so technically it is giving half.

How right you are, this slipped past my mind

I love the new version, it's more "Doom 2.5" and less "Brutal Doom". In the older version I really got tired of all the cheap damage I was taking from torches, bouncing bullets etc.

Is there a way to make the shotgun not autoreload when you run out of the clip? So the player can switch weapons instead of reloading fully. Or maybe holding down Fire will interrupt the reloading and fire, that would be the ideal scenario, not sure if it's possible in 3DGE. Anyway, not a big problem, I pay attention and switch weapons when the clip is at 1.

Do you have plans to create a more complex HUD for D4E?

Separate post for an important bug report. In NRFTL MAP03 when you go up the stairs you can see the backside of a switch . In 3DGE without any mod I cannot activate it from this side. With D4E I can! This must be a bug, I don't think you should be able to activate it from this side. Did you change the player radius or something?

Before I forget, you can of course re-implement the shotgun reload, as soon as 3DGE supports the cancellation or abortion of reloading animations :D

Well, the player height and radius is unaltered in the mod. Hard to test it out for myself, since No Rest for the Living is a licensed product. Having to pay for, what is essentially just a DOOM mapset, in this day and age just don't feel right.

I cut those sectors out and make a 1-room test wad. When I load it in 3DGE I cannot activate the switch from behind, then if I load it with D4E I can!

Interesting...

I'll have a look and see if I can find the cause.

EDIT: Found the cause. The linetrigger isn't set to single sided in the mod, meaning it could be activated from any side.

You know about the berserk bug already but have you noticed that the animation of blood on the screen when chainawing an enemy keeps playing over and over? Probably the same underlying cause, it doesn't end, it constantly resets.

Alright, I've updated the mod. Well, I had the shotgun reload removed and fixed the double vs single sided linetrigger issue.

For the time being, it is incompatible with recent builds of 3DGE and I strongly recomend using 3DGE 2.0.4 Final (or older) with the mod.

Lastly, I also recomended to turn the damned "CPU BUSY/WAIT" off in the Video Options menu. 3DGE won't "remember" it, so you'll need to turn it off every time you start the game.

Enjoy!

Happy new year!

A new version of the mod has been uploaded. Enjoy.
