Ultra-Crispy (25/07/19) I update... again!

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Let's set our minds back to 1871.

We all know the sad fate of the undead cowboy known as Caleb, main character of the Blood series and his thirst for vengeance, as he was betrayed by the dark god known as Tchernobog.

When Tchernobog killed the Chosen, and among them, Caleb's beloved Ophelia, he knew Caleb would seek revenge more powerful than ever, many years later. But what if Tchernobog used his powers to banish him once and for all from that dimension?

Caleb awakes in the middle of a demonic invasion on earth. But not that world he used to know. Things look too different. It's up to you to find some answers.

Or maybe, you could wake up on a Dark-fantasy themed scenario, a flemoid nightmare, or even, a dystopic cyberpunk themed world! The possibilities are on your hands.

---

Some useful things to know:

1 - This mod also works with Heretic, Hacx 2.0 and Hexen!
2 - You can dual wield almost EVERYTHING. Just press the "ZOOM" KEY!
3 - This mod doesn't replace monsters or uses any custom blood. So, load it up with your favorites, and use the Extra menu to access the mod options without losing anything!
4 - All weapons (Except the machete and the Assault Rifle) have altfires! Some are still unpolished or placeholders in this very beginning, but feel free to give your ideas!
5 - Be sure to check the quit messages to find more gameplay-related tips and enhance your gameplay!
6 - Unfortunately this is not compatible with Zandronum yet! Sorry guys, i always try to make it linear, but it wasn't possible this time.
7 - When playing Ultra-Crispy with Hexen, please select the "Bringest Them Oneth" for a better gameplay experience.

This might not seem important to YOU as it is for ME.

Blood is known for having lots and lots of different guns, even more in Blood 2, because it has more characters avaiable to choose from. So the intent in this mod is to hit the counterparts from Blood to Doom right on the spot. I am DAMN sure there'll be a die hard fan which will bash me for not adding this or that, for saying that i should choose one instead of the other, because it's cooler, and all that jazz.

The problem isn't really adding the guns. The real thing is about the ammo pools, and the spots to spawn them. I always tend to calculate this based on Doom 2 or FreeDoom 2, because you are probably loading this mod on it. So PLEASE, understand i tried to join the best of both worlds with some custom ideas and tweaks to make your game more enjoyable. If i ever feel the game needs some oomph, i'll try to experiment with new toys. I always tend to go back to my mods, even if on a slow pace.

AS ALWAYS, it's good to remind people: I don't want to leave any names outta this. If i forgot you, or credited the wrong person, PLEASE, tell me and i'll update this list as soon as possible.

P.S.: Important thing to say: I am aware of the "Bloody Hands" add-on for Blood by Dude27th, but i haven't used ANY of his resources. I gathered MidoriMan (author of the Leather jacket) sleeve and terminusEst13's Hat to make the pieces of Caleb clothing by myself.

1897 Trenchgun

As our first add-on, here's a Trenchgun right out from 1897! It replaces the Jackhammer and must be loaded AFTER Ultra-Crispy. Currently it doesn't have an altfire but i will work on this very soon!!!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tf0daB ... sp=sharing

erni945's music pack!

This pack made by our friend erni945 gives Ultra-Crispy exactly what we need: Blood music! This patch contains all musics from Blood 1 and 2, from the most groovy to the most atmospheric, so, get this while you can and have some good times!

http://www.mediafire.com/file/e9eysgpdx ... h.pk3/file

Feel free to make add-ons, suggest fresh ideas, point bad stuff, good stuff, but play this to the maximum! I might have not suceeded in emulating the perfeccionism of Blood, but all i want is for people to feel good in this distorted vision i have of Caleb.

HAVE FUN!

[AvzinElkein]

Dare you to make it compatible with Chex Quest 3!

[insightguy]

You are killing it with these mods GAA, keep it up!

[TheNightATK300]

So what does focus mean...?

While i'm being serious here, this mod is pretty awesome I mean you nailed it here, I will play it for a while longer before thinking about ideas or something.

[twinkieman93]

So, I'll probably edit this into a more full post once I've had more time with the mod but one thing I think needs to be addressed right now is that corpse barrels are apparently filled with undiluted liquid lag, because popping one completely locks up my game for several seconds. Popping more than one at a time has completely crashed it. My laptop ain't state of the art or anything but it can handle pretty much anything but the most extreme slaughtermaps fairly well. Think you could tone that effect down a little bit, or have a CVAR for it, or something? Anything? x.x

[Wivicer]

Watched Term stream this. Thought it was real fuckin neato. Looking forward to playing it!

ASAP man, just gimme some time

So what does focus mean...?

Focus is the, let's say, "mana" ammo pool in Blood 2. Some weapons, like the "Flayer", "The Orb" or even the "Life Leech" use this. Since i wanted a reason to make the Life Leech share ammo with the Cursed Heart, i found it a nice way to suit the need of a ammo pool.

A CVAR sounds good. It lags a lot here when played with Ketchup. Thanks for noticing! =p

Thank you guys!!! Glad to see you like it!

[TheNightATK300]

I think of the same, I like that mod. I haven't played a Blood-Themed mod before really. Besides the mods that uses Blood-based weapons.

[chronoteeth]

just a quick thing, I think a lot of the guns could benefit from feeling like they're aiming at the crosshair

[Captain J]

SUPER Crispy! Glad it's finally here and it's been a pleasure to help and support your mod. This mod is so far impressive and great!

[Zhs2]

I think it's super wonky that you have to click a third time to reload a sawed-off. Blood always did the reload animation automatically following the second shot.

The Berettas don't feel responsive. There's an input delay before the next time you can fire that makes it difficult to achieve a consistent trigger rate, which makes it frustrating to use no matter dual or single.

Is there any special reason why it takes more than twice as long to switch back to single weapons from dual?

Other than those complaints, this is pretty cool. I see where the inspiration from Blood 2 came from, mainly what CT said (although it isn't that hard to kill things you're aiming at!)

[Dude27th]

Neat

[namsan]

Very nice mod!
Weapons are very fun to use, and they look good.

I don't know why did you place Dynamites to slot 0, though.
It's a rather weird choice.

P.S.: Important thing to say: I am aware of the "Bloody Hands" add-on for Blood by Dude27th, but i haven't used ANY of his resources. I gathered JonnyFive (author of the Leather jacket) sleeve and terminusEst13's Hat to make the pieces of Caleb clothing by myself.

Yeah but , at least judging by the screenshots , it looks like you used the same concept with THAT jacket and THAT hat , which I used previously on my Bloody Hands mod.

What about "Concept loosely based on:"
or "The idea of jacket + hat comes from ..." something like that ??
