Flakes Doom v2.6b (Updated 06/03/18) Home fixes

I report bug.When I lift a chainsaw, I can not pull it out and use it, I noticed it in Cheogsh (Doom 2 map) and in Freedoom, what can it result from?

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

You mean you cannot use the chainsaw after selecting it? Odd.

Are you loading anything else with Flakes Doom? Also, which version of GZDoom are you using?

From what I remember from flakes doom I use random deaths and decorations, flashlights and some addons from main post to your mod and I use the official latest version of GZDoom

Important note: For now, I use the command "summon PFChiansaw" (or something like that, I do not remember now what the actor in the decorate was) so for now somehow it does not bother me, but I reported it because I still do not write it in the long run

The unmaker isn't assembled after picking up all three weapon parts in Hexen. You're probably occupied with your other projects, but I'd like to see the recent changes to Factotum (Backpack replacing Krater of Might, etc.) incorporated here as well

Also, most bullet weapons have a spread of 5.6 on both the horizontal and the vertical. This actually makes them 50% less accurate than vanilla Doom. I'd suggest halving the original value, as in making both parameters have 2.8. Another example is the Super Shotgun: in Vanilla it has a spread of 11.2 and 7.1, I'd do:
11.2 + 7.1 = 18.3
18.3 ÷ 2 = 9.15
So 9.15 for horizontal and for vertical spread

I'm kinda occupied really, but that doesn't stop me from messing around with Flakes a little bit again

Thanks for the heads up buddy!

Loving this mod so far! However I have a few nitpicks:
-Chaingun's recoil goes downward when using Quad. Is this intended? Quite amusing anyway
-Weapons still have their alternate ammo counter even if they don't use one for altfire. Guess this is related to how weapons are coded and thus can't be removed?
-Sometimes I like to turn recoil off and go full vanilla with horizontal mouselook only, but NOAUTOAIM flag kinda ruins this experience. This is super easy to edit out though.

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

HI man! Thanks for liking the mod!

- Hmmm, gotta check the code again, but it's probably not intended (maybe it's a random angle).
- Are you playing with the alternate HUD? I believe the HUD display only health, main ammo and armor.
- I don't know how to CVAR flags, but that's something to research =p

Nope, I use default one. Anyway, for integrity of test just ran the mod on fresh gzdoom 3.7.2 installation, and grenade counter for shotgun appears on both screen sizes, even though altfire is set to triple burst.

I just noticed that there is no landing sound anymore. This mod used to have that cool landing sound effect but now I can only hear vanilla one "hmp". Is there something wrong with my gzdoom?

I checked, and it definitely have sounds for jumping and landing. Try fresh gzdoom install or check autoload.

[elCreyo]

You're right. It works again. I don't know why it didn't work.

[TheOldKingCole]

How do I get This working with smooth doom?

[TheOldKingCole]

Also A suggestion for for the next version, a quick melee option that can be activated on every weapon

It doesn't. Unless there is a monsters-only version. And it should be loaded before Flakes.

Sorry, it won't happen. The mod tries to maintain a vanilla basis.
