Looks cool.

I think I remember hearing about this. Hmm, let's have a poke...

• Every mugshot frame is a high-res PNG for some reason.
• All the menu graphics are even higher res despite being blurry and clearly resized to be larger.
• The titlemap music is a 32mb WAV file for god knows what reason.
• There's voices taken from The Space Pirate, despite Marty specifically asking people not to use the voice work from that mod in their own work.
• There's stuff taken from MetaDoom without any credit or even a thank you, which is generally all I ask. Unless you count running around asking me and other semi-relevant modders to work on this as credit.
• There's a reskinned version of my old dumbass Rickroll joke mod from probably a decade ago for some reason?
• There's compiled ACS scripts from some version of Brutal Doom, copy-pasted directly without any edits or changes or recompiles.
• The titlemap script does stuff based on the vid_renderer cvar, which the engine developers hate and will likely break on purpose out of spite.
• There's WAD-style markers in a PK3, which don't work properly at all since PK3s don't use lump ordering.
• There's whatever fresh hell is in KEYCONF. What the Christ?

In short, this is a patchwork of haphazardly-reskinned stuff from other mods with horses slathered over it that refuses to pay the common courtesy of citing its sources.

They already did, hah. vid_renderer isn't a cvar anymore, and the renderer is switched by using another CVar, one that's brand new.

This build that i made available for download is an older version of the mod, I've made some changes since that version was made

Being a beginner is fine. A lot of newcomers have come through here, usually via events like DUMP, Joy of Mapping or the Vinesauce contests. We were all new once. And we all quickly learned that trying to make our first project a complete total conversion in an entirely new setting (even a pre-existing one from a cartoon or movie) was waaaay beyond our skill level and that we should start with something smaller and build our skills up from there.

Just trying to glue together stuff from other mods won't teach you all that much off the bat. You'll just end up with a patchwork quilt of jank and bugs that you don't know how to fix (and possibly a bunch of angry people upset that you used their stuff without giving credit where it's due!) Check out the DECORATE definitions for the default ZDoom stuff, take that code and twiddle around with it, ask questions about how to do stuff, and slowly-but-surely you'll figure out how things work. Then you can take apart other things, figure out how they work, and learn their tricks.

Or, hell, you or whoever did your weapon sprites seems reasonably competent as an artist. There's a lot of projects here that could use a good pixel pusher to get things past the finish line. Help people out with decent art and art edits, and you'll make friends real fast.

This is an exciting project!! I am a professional voice actor with a studio quality microphone and a very good ear for sound editing. Here is a sample just for you! (warning: file is very loud. -admin) I hope you enjoy it as I have already recorded several hours of dialogue that I was hoping you'd use.

Funny joke

[XLightningStormL]

But seriously though, you're gonna need some good luck pal, because spriters that make specific requested assets are rare enough in general, and making an MLP-themed mod is just going to be even more narrowed in the terms of potential results.

You will need luck, and a lot of it.
