ARACNOCIDE 2.8 (Updated 06/AUG/24)

[YasuoProjectX]

at least i have Colonial Marines Arsenal, which is perfect to use Aracnocide Enemies instead of Aliens lol

After 20 Minutes later...

oohh wait is that Stealth Face Hugger? OH SNAP!!

There's a bug, if you have full ammo for a weapon, you still pick up weapon pickups (shotguns from shotgun sergeants) and thus waste ammo.

Hi there! It's a known bug, and even although i am aware, i couldn't find a way to solve it since i went back to mess with Aracnocide. But rest assured if i get to (or somebody does, though i am not going to beg anybody) solve the bug, there'll be another update ASAP. =)

Hi there! Really enjoying your mod. I was taking notes on the characters and wanted to test the upgrades easily. Is there a command to summon them, or is it tied specifically to backpack summons?

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Actually, they're flagged as not being able to obtain with standard IDFA/IDKFA cheats,

BUT

You can type "give all" or "give everything" (without quotes) on console, or even, type "summon ARWPBOX" for summoning the upgrade kit (i believe that's the name).

Thanks for enjoying the game!

As for "what happened to Aracnocide", Blue Shadow helped me solving the infinite weapon pickup bug! He was extremely kind and i wanted to work on this as soon as possible, but i do have to admit i am not in the mood, since i have other mods and real life stuff on the way.

But don't be disappointed! As soon as this is all solved, you'll see some updates here and there =)

At least for me I get a soft crash whenever I try to upgrade my weapons.

Interesting, i thought i got rid of that.

Can you tell which class and weapon you got the bug? If possible, I'll upload another bugfix. In the meantime, I'd recommend you try older and newer versions of GZDoom/Zandronum

Hello you all!

After some months procrastinating, i've finally finished an update to Aracnocide! This new update finally fixes the "infinite weapon pickup bug", swaps a weapon for Stella (as well as adding an upgrade to her!), some code fixed, and the coolest of them all; Aracnocide Weapons are now compatible with Heretic, Hexen and Hacx 2.0!

Enemies, however, aren't compatible yet (and probably not too many of you give a damn), but soon i'll be able to pull them off to other universes. Also, for being outdated, the complete game file is down for now. In any case, suggestions, complainings and feedback, leave them here!

---

- Aracnocide WEAPONS are now compatible with Heretic, Hexen and Hacx!
- Fixed the so requested infinite weapon pickup bug! Max thanks to Blue Shadow!
- Stella changed her old M14 rifle for a SKS-45, and it can be upgraded!
- Kick attacks highly buffed.
- New Beretta sprites.
- New Beretta reload animations.
- New FG42 firing sounds.
- New items for Hexen/Heretic.
- Moved kick states to a master weapon (easier document navigation/editing; Reduced slightly file size)
- Small and big changes in both HUDS
- Deleted unused files
- new throwables ammo sprites
- new smaller variable for throwable ammo
- new rifle box sprite
- new SPAS pickup sprite by abbuw
- new radsuit sprite
- fixed Derrick's dual praying vulture casings spawning in the wrong positions.
- new backpack sprite by Captain J

Have fun and Get psyched! Oh wait, this is for another mod...

[mrtaterz]

Thank you for fixing the weapon pickup bug! I love this mod so much and can't wait to play it more with Maps of Chaos!

[Captain J]

Excellent update, my friend!

[Helion]

Um, is it just me or is the FG42 firing sound exactly the same?

Also, what's the cheat to give myself upgrades?

[Dr_Cosmobyte]

Maybe the upgraded FG42 has a different sound then... this is part of a older changelog some months back.

Type "Summon ARWPBOX" without quotes in the console

Loving the changes! Though, now it seems that the kick is WAY stronger than melee weapons now, which is strange.

Also, I think it would be nice if weapons had an indicator that shows that they're upgradable.

[StroggVorbis]

Another update, yay

Whoops, i might nerf that a bit, sometimes i forget melee attacks multiply themselves higher than usual. I also plan to buff melee weapons so they don't feel useless.

Noted down the suggestions, thanks!
